The Mexican twins. Did they seem kinda silly to anyone else? Yes they are no doubt going to be extremely badass BUT they just came across a bit over the top.
This season is going to be all about Walt's consequences of breaking bad. Karma's a bitch, eh?

Jesse buying the house was classic too.
I find it funny Skylar has no problem with her bosses activities.
Walt is just getting angrier and angrier and i love every minute of it.
Ohh and lest we forget the return of SAUL!

Them fellas are way too badass to die in any way other than spectacular. I'm disappointed we aren't going to see any Q revenge. I had pegged Q for the antagonist of the season after he learns that Walt killed his daughter.

How about both of them? I really wasn't expecting them to die this soon (well, we know atleast one of them is dead for sure). Geez, another intense episode - the last 10 minutes had me white knuckling it. I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack along with Hank while watching this. Hank (played by Dean Norris) continues to show his tremendous acting abilities week after week. Well done.
Conflabbit, every time that elevator door opened I stopped breathing for a few seconds.
@Papa, yes you are right. This show is completely unpredictable and I've decided to stop trying to figure out where the storyline is going next because I usually have it ALL wrong.

What I love most are the little character details that at the same time seem so new and yet so real. Most notably when Walter discovers that a piece of the broken plate is missing, and he says something like "Why are you doing this to me?"

Wait til you see Walt meticulously preparing his peanut butter/jelly sandwiches in season 3.

And also, if Chicken man is so careful, why does he make the call, listen to the assasination then just snap the phone in two? Surely that would just break the screen but the phone would still be intact and trackable because all GPS phones still work even work even when off, you have to take the battery out to make them untrackable (and still are until the extra PSU runs out). Then he goes and tosses it in a bin. Boy! He's careful.

****SPOILERS up to episode 8 of season 3****
I agree that the twins were a bit over the top with their constant scowls and (almost) never talking.
The Tio backstory was kinda cool though, but I think they only decided later on that he would have been a former cartel bigshot. When we'd first seen him he was chilling in some decrepit shack in the middle of nowhere, left to his own filth and devices. One would think that if he was still held in such high esteem that the cartel could afford to put one dude in a nice private domicile with a full-time attending nurse. I have the same issue with the RV backstory... it doesn't really mesh with how that part of the show actually played out in the first season, but this is really just a very minor problem.
At this point I can't imagine how anyone can view Walt as anything but the villain of the series. A tragic, multi-layered villain, but definitely not the good guy anymore. It's an amazing reversal and it's also obvious to me that's what the show creators had in mind right from the get go. Kudos to them for ballsy storytelling.
Jesse's calls to the answering machine were heartbreaking, but his time to shine is yet to come. I think he realized when he was talking to Walt in the hospital that his true cause of pain wasn't Hank at all, but Walt himself. And that's why he accepted the "partnership," Jesse will be integral to Walt's downfall. Or at least he's gonna make a big play to that end.
I really like the introduction of Gus to the show, his inclusion has been terrific so far. I might be reaching a bit, but my view of his turning on the cartel was that it was something he'd been thinking about in some form or another since the beginning of their mutual "understanding." So why does employing Walt become a catalyst for Gus's betrayal of the cartel? The only thing I can think of is that Gus was finally in a position to produce a product of such outstanding quality that the increased profit margin on meth production makes the betrayal economically attractive. Basically he is getting big enough to push those pesky cartel people out of the equation.

A very powerful episode tonight and quite possibly my favourite of season 3. What, 2 more shows to go?

Pacino86845 wrote:While I appreciated the character moments, I felt the show lost a bit of steam the past couple of episodes. Maybe it's because I'm now waiting a week between episodes, but I think the Fly was my least favorite of the season, possibly the series so far.
