Excellent episode. Not even really because of what happened, but because of the fact they managed to make it so entertaining when it's just two characters talking, for literally the entire episode. I can only think of one or two other shows that could possibly pull that off without coming off as forced. Story wise this episode was pointless, but character wise? Absolutely amazing and I'm so glad they take the time to do this shit because its so fucking fresh. I was also really, really tense in the ladder scene and that moment is just a testament to how good the writing is.

i love this show, it might take my #1 show slot from dexter before this season's over...

Yeah ha! this episode was taken almost entirely in the lab and the lab alone, but the talk and a little bit of suspense there and there, especially the ladder sense made it enjoyable nonetheless...

Last episode was like the episode when the RV battery dies in the desert. Both were hilarious. Especially the part about ebola.

I love this show but yea I agree last episode wasn't that good.

This is definitely my second favorite series that I have seen lately... nothing can top The Wire

The last episode was a bottle episode - an episode that had a low budget to produce either because they're saving the money for an epic episode later on, or making up for an expensive episode that was aired before it.

The last episode wasn't a bottle episode lol, it was a development episode. There was so much great dialogue in it, not every episode needs to have tons of action and stuff going on. It was an excellent episode and it built up the excitement for the next episode really well.

as far as breaking bad goes, the episode was definitely filler. the first 25 minutes or so were kind of unnecessary -- the only real interesting content happened towards the end.

that said, the show is so good that even filler episodes are entertaining enough.

well it may simply be that we are conditioned by this show to expect non-traditional TV story arc and presentation. There's a certain amount of credit that the show has earned with regular viewers, which i guess is the hallmark fo a quality program

+ Show Spoiler +

This episode is the greatest yet. New blood is being pumped into old characters. Skyler is unexpectedly joining the family business, this will bring an end to Walter's isolation and explore the business side of Skyler. Even more surprising is the development with Pinkman, who has found a reason to graduate himself from leeching off Walt to actually pursuing something worthwhile on his own, aka seeking revenge.

yeah finally jesse gets something interesting to do

instantly i was thinking of that time when he went with a gun to the home of some methheads? that was awesome, and i have a feeling that this time he will screw it even harder and make for even better scenes.
or maybe its just because i am so easily entertained by powerful outwalking off scenes with a dark undertone to it...

I like skyler now, she easily is the boss over Walt if she gets a hand in this, and I think that would be good. I think she can be pretty badass.

Thought it was a great episode. One thing that I was left wondering about, however, was that if Walt is so suspicious of the place being bugged for audio, who's to say it's not bugged for video too? I'd imagine that if it were Jessie would already be dead, but it just didn't make sense to me.
