EPTGus has at least a couple motives for warning Hank. Most important of which is that Walt might quit when he found out his brother was killed by acquaintances of Gus. It's also gotta be bad for business for a DEA agent to be killed by a cartel on American turf, aka Gus's turf.

This episode was necessary from a continuity standpoint but it doesn't change the fact that it was still slow as hell. Are you saying it wasn't? The assassination was off screen, and although the destruction of the cartel was a nice surprise, it was too late to salvage a rather bleh episode. The whole hospital setting is quite constraining and watching Jessie sit around do nothing is boring. Breaking Bad is a great show but not every episode's going to be great, or even very good. This was one of them. | ||

This was one of them. Posts like this boggle my mind. It's completely unrealistic for every episode to have some huge climactic event happening, and just because an episode doesn't have one doesn't make it "bad" or "not very good". It's an important episode and one that develops and shapes the plot for rest of the season nicely. Just because the last scene wasn't some action filled bloody shootout doesn't mean it wasn't interesting. Basically I'm saying I thoroughly disagree with your sentiments. But I understand the point your trying to make, it's just dumb to me. | ||

A lot. And the chemistry is correct, I'll say no more. <3 this show!! Definitely recommended to anybody, and it's on CABLE TV, on AMC no less...that really surprises me, in a great way.. | ||

This point was made in my first post - a let down was bound to happen from the 2 previous episodes. Now, maybe I should have chosen my words more carefully as people are taking my statement for - this was a bad episode. You're right, this was a setup episode. And to me, it felt slow and plodding. I didn't like the execution of Juan's death. Arguably, the most exciting part (the cartel intrigue) of the show was largely off screen until the final showdown. As my friend has said, this show has a very deliberate pace. Sometimes that brings nuances and great character study, but it can also be boring. This wasn't a bad episode but it wasn't very good by Breaking Bad standards. I would rate this episode a B. You would give it an A? Also, I think it's apt you used the term setup episode; it what a lot of people I know use to describe a lull before something better. | ||

i liked this last episode, the characters werent fucking goings crazy all of a sudden or anything which i really feared for after the first few episodes of season 3, even characters i hate like walts family really could kinda shine here and not be annoying for once. not much action, but i loved the dialogue overall and i really loved how awkwardly walt got rid of his lab assistant and then really awkwardly lied to gus, makes him so human. i also really liked how jesse sat around doing nothing, cause honestly, what could he have done? i think for todays standards (which is LOW, ok?) in television series thats really cool, cause take 24 for instance (or anything else, not the point), those characters have so thrilling lifes they cant even go to the toilet without someone trying to kill them, and... come on, he even trashed some expensive equipment. what i really like is the progress in the plot, cause you'd think that after the last cousin tried to creep up to walt with like a billion of dea agents standing right behind him SOMEONE would get suspicious (okay maybe the show is saving that for hank, cause he really deserves it by now), but before they can ask him about his reasons, he gets killed off and to further demonstrate gus's power we also get to see him taking out the cartel boss, really really awesome. | ||

It also covers the excuse why he is away so often, he can say that he makes trips to Las Vegas (not far from new mexico) and that he won a big tournament when he said he went to go visit his mother. That way he can take credit for earning the money to provide for his family and it wasn't by dumb luck. See, at least Skylar has some brains. | ||

but i didnt really buy skylars story, not because the basic idea is stupid because it really isnt, its just that she's such a bad lyer... then again, marie is pretty naive so no wonder she gave in immediatly, but she will tell hank i hope and he will catch heisenberg even from a wheelchair.... and once again were proven how big of a dumbass jesse is. hahahaha and when he said a whole new market it sounded way bigger than ex-druggies, and why is that a new market anyway? i think their plan is totally meant to fail. | ||
