Like a stage play. The scenes with Walt and Jr. in Walt's place were also very long. A lot of dialogue to memorize and deliver in one shot.<br /> <br />Has my mind gone blank? There must be some significance to Mike ripping off Don Eladio's "necklace".Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-29283297652252757912013-09-25T23:54:30.046-04:002013-09-25T23:54:30.046-04:00I thought Skyler would refer Ted to Saul and then ...I thought Skyler would refer Ted to Saul and then Saul could convince Ted he'd negotiated the debt away, while secretly paying it with Skyler's money. Taking Ted out of the equation altogether seemed the smartest move. Of course he went out and bought a Mercedes immediately after. Ugh.

There is only one little detail (not that it changes much of what you said): the correct translation for 'Zafiro Anejo' is 'Old sapphire' or 'Vintage sapphire'.<br /><br />I'm currently watching all the episodes of this show back to back to catch up to the premiere of the final 8, and I'm eager to read your reviews.<br /><br />Greetings from Venezuela! (and pardon my english).<br />David De Pasqualenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76130291900515173522012-08-04T18:49:03.098-04:002012-08-04T18:49:03.098-04:00Brilliant episode.

The best of this series so far.<br /><br />The gulf between Walt and Jesse is now so immense how can they possibly reconcile, unless their roles become completely reversed (which I wouldn't be at all surprised at, should it happen.)<br /><br />Also Ted is, what I believe one would be referred to as on the other side of the Atlantic, a total douche-bag.<br /><br />Great reviews. Thanks Billie.<br /><br />TimTimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55908351515459689402012-07-13T06:12:12.863-04:002012-07-13T06:12:12.863-04:00Gus is the creepiest character ever when he acts i...Gus is the creepiest character ever when he acts in this controlled and cold way. Every move so calculated and somewhat minimalistic *shudder*<br /><br />In contrast it was nice to see Walt so out of character/control. Maybe this emphasized that Walt has some "humanity" left in him. Gus just seems to be in control even in such chaotic situations.<br /><br />Skylar and Ted are just odd. Very cringeworthy most of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8011494972440693062012-07-12T21:20:24.840-04:002012-07-12T21:20:24.840-04:00Is it the barrel with a 'B' or a 'bee&...Is it the barrel with a 'B' or a 'bee'? I only ask because I was wondering that at the time the episode aired, and I think one of the chemical barrels has some sort of bug on it. Or am I misremembering?<br /><br />Great, great episode. Between Gus's revenge and Walt's drugged speech to Junior just some utterly compelling stuff this week. I feel like I understand Walt so much better now. I don't like him any more, mind you. I just understand him better. <br /><br />I don't think he was manipulating Junior. He actually called him Jesse at one point, so I think he really was heavily drugged. He seemed rather taken aback that Junior had seen him in that state, and rather stung to learn that Junior liked him better in open, honest mode, rather than "strong, powerful" mode. He thinks so highly of the persona he's developed, to have his son feel so differently had to be something of a gut-punch. But will it change him?<br /><br />I think this Ted business is just so Skylar can fumble her way through her own "trial by fire" on her downward spiral. If she's gonna break bad, she needs to recognize all that comes with it. Including the idiots that don't do what you expect or tell them to. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-34005962840108511362012-07-12T19:58:19.615-04:002012-07-12T19:58:19.615-04:00Three to go!Three to go!Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
