Haha yeah i was too. I've been doing that alot through this series. Especially the last 6 episdoes of the series. I've been watching this season standing up in front of the TV for the whole hour.

 

 

 

The Fly episode of Breaking Bad - on ABC = LOL

Yeah I get what your saying about the fly episode. I guess we just have different views on how we saw it. We can both agree that it was a bottle episode. It stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest of the series. Everything about the episode was different. My guess is this was done on purpose to make people see Jesse and Walt from a different perspective, with the different shots, and dialogue. By far the best bottle episode ever done in any tv series I've seen. Also i came across this which had me thinking as well.

"A few fans complained this episode was Breaking Bad pulling a goatse on us, but that's just wrong. They've done that before for sure (which was the episode where Hank threw Tuco's grill into the river? "Better Call Saul"?), but this wasn't it. "Fly" was advertised as a coming-to-a-head of the skimming Jesse had done. Strangely, it was. Walt caught him red-handed and warned him. What happens from here is anybody's guess, but Walt under Gus is a different Walt, just as Jesse after Jane is a different Jesse. Whether Jesse turns it over or not is a different matter.

 

I get the feeling "Fly" will end up being remembered as the cult favorite episode.

 

Do you think they aired this episode against the Lost finale on purpose? A few friends of mine were making fun of Lost and talking up Breaking Bad as a better show, but on a night when BB could've stolen Lost's thunder, it didn't. Maybe that was part of the plan. "Fly," as I said, wasn't even an episode that encapsulated BB. The network could have delayed a few episodes or started airing the season earlier to make a different episode air against the Lost finale, but this is the one. I give credit to the creators, writers, producers, actors and anyone else involved in Breaking Bad a lot, but this was an odd decision. On the other hand, people were talking about BB before the Lost finale and they'll probably be talking about it afterward. The King is Dead, Long Live the New King."

Also, This was one of my favorite scenes from season 3. Kafkaesque

Fly episode to me showed how meticulous Walt is and how he just doesn't give up and accept something when he could do something about it. It's really what he's been about throughout the seasons when he was moving up the crystal meth ladder. Jessie is just the opposite. He was willing to just say fuck it (bitch!) and move on.

 

 

 

 

@ HUSK - MUST SPREAD REP ON THAT LAST POST LOL!!!!

My back hurts, so I'm not in the mood to type out a long review. I did however find a video which pretty much sums up my thoughts on tonights episode.

I will say this though, Just give Bryan and Anne there Emmy's now. This episode was amazing. Plus Mike is always good on screen. The things he says is comical. Like a grumpy grandpa.

Did you notice the window behind Lydia in the beginning spelled out Gale? I wonder if that means anything or am I doing a Husk ;P

 

Did we see a shimmer of Walts conscience tonight when Jesse gave him the watch? Great episode.

guy from IGN boards...

 

 

the watch stopping on 52 makes me think that not only does the show end at 52 years old, but he probably dies at 52. and im also thinking hes gonna die similar to scarface. oh and jessie being the only person that gave him a present was deep.

 

 

My thoughts...

 

This episode was all about dialogue and little moves that will affect the rest of the series. Like Lydia and the tracking device...We don't know what they're gonna do but before Jessie gave Walt the watch he said to him, " I like your idea."

 

 

Skyler needs to get her shit together man. I'm really tired of seeing her moping all over the fucking place. The pool stunt along with her depressive behavior was just good writing, as she was just thinking about the kids. There is absolutely no way Walt can promise that they're safe from anything.

 

Hank is inching ever closer and he is putting surveillance on Mike. I'm sure it won't be anything Mike can't handle though. The real problem is Lydia, Hank is suspicious of her too and noticed she was slightly out of it.

 

 

 

Some quotes that were intriguing to hear....

 

Walt saying, "Nothing stops this train." He doesn't want anything slowing down his money and that is what is gonna get him in trouble. He's going to make questionable decisions (He might have already made one with keeping Lydia alive) that will come from his greed. He is just now feeling like a BOSS! That's why he sold his Aztek for $50 and got a sweet new car!

Great episode. Walt is power tripping hard. I know we aren't actually going to see it on the series, but "realistically" if Mike's granddaughter got randomly ran over by a car, he would just kill everyone and fuck off, let his comrades rat him out or whatever, he woudn't care anymore.

Walt is putting all the eggs on one basket when it comes to Mike. I just hope Walt doesnt go all crybaby again when everything goes to shit. We've seen that so many times and it's always embarrassing to watch. My guess is Skyler gets an ethical reason to snitch out Walt.

Or Junior finally becomes a part of the actual plot. Walt has an urge to let his son know the real baller status his dad has. Once Junior gets the hang of it, shit will most likely collide with fan.

 

For the record, I never blamed the director for fucking up a script that involves two psychotic idiots chasing a fly in a meth lab and open their hearts to each other. Thing is, both Walt and Jesse are anti-heroes, I personally dislike them both very much. I get moments that I would really really like to identify with them, mostly Jesse, but then they start acting all dumb and crazy. It's really hard to watch an episode revolve around just the two loose cannons go apeshit in a claustrophobic environment. at least to me Breaking Bad is at it's best when you see how they interact with the outside world: Threats, families, crazy random mishaps etc. When there's that "anything can happen" feel to it.

The one thing I wanted to say earlier and forgot-Isn't Lydia in AUSTIN? She's in Texas I thought- If thats right, then she'll be seeing Hank around soon. He's not going to let this go that easily. Not after being doubted the whole time to find out he was right. Prob do it "off" his watch im sure

 

Also, still waiting on walt jr to roll his crutches into traffic

@Bedframed - My thoughts exactly.

@Viperface. that comment wasn't directed towards you about the fly episode. i was just stating that, becuase alot of people thought the episode sucked, and I'm sure thought last nights episode was great, which is why i said that.

"The ending of tonight’s episode, “Fifty-One,” reminded me of the ending of “Fly” from season three. They both concluded with Walter lying in bed staring at something (tonight, the watch from Jesse; in “Fly,” a fly on the smoke detector), perhaps pondering a recent day full of intense conversations."

 

tumblr_m8bpqbRPYf1r28cvq.png

 

"In “Fly,” Walter had spent the day in the lab with Jesse trying to eradicate ‘contamination.’ Throughout the course of the day, the two had some really candid conversations. Walter seemed like he was almost going to come clean about what happened with Jane. He didn’t, but they still had some pretty candid, personal, and intense conversations. That night he went to bed with a racing mind, unable to sleep, and the episode ends with Walter staring at a fly on the smoke detector. "

 

tumblr_m8bpqlbBV11r28cvq.png

 

"In “Fifty-One,” Walter had spent the night with his family, halfheartedly celebrating his birthday. Later, he had an extremely intense, heated conversation with Skyler. Neither of them really held back. The next night, after dealing with some business, he returned home and tried to manipulate Skyler further. Afterward, he went to bed, staring at the watch from Jesse sitting on the table. The episode ends with the loud ticking of the watch.

 

Both “Fly” and “Fifty-One” were written by Sam Catlin and directed by Rian Johnson. Both are excellent episodes in a fantastic series. "

For me Skyler has been the biggest break on the series so far.

I reckon she's going to do a turnaround, become cool and realise that Walt can achieve anything with a bit of support.

Then she'll get hooked on the supply (personally I think she already has a bit of a crackhead look about her) and o.d.

Then Walt will get a smoking hot supermodel girlfriend and change his name to Tony Montana and move to Spain, where hijinks will ensue.

Bryan Cranston Rules!

 

"Once, tender, innocent young Cranston was just a naive teenage boy, passing his time like any other lad on the precipice of adulthood—by boozing it up in the Netherlands with a bunch of cheap Dutch prostitutes."

 

"Cranston reminisced recently about his rainbows-and-butterflies past, recalling that back in his heyday, “Beer is a nickel, and the hookers are cheap—it was 24 guilders, which I think was $8, to get laid. We’re all writing home to our parents for more money: ‘We’re having such a good time, Mom and Dad! Please send more money! We promise to pay you "back!’”
