1. Walt vs Jessie: My preferred ending is for Jessie to find out all the bad things Walt has done to him and kill him. Looks like I will get my wish....maybe. Jessie isn't in the mood to be manipulated by his former chemistry teacher, the endgame is near.
It's teacher vs student, but we know that no one plays the game better than Walt, the smart money is on Mr. White no matter how much I'd like to see Jesse bring him down.
2. Bring to a boil: The first episode the season set an impossible pace. Conventional wisdom placed Hank and Walt's garage confrontation later in the season. Gilligan and company enjoy writing themselves into a corner and finding ways out. They raise the temperature to a boil and decrease the heat before it bubbles over. As a viewer a confrontation between Walt and Jesse seemed imminent but Gilligan held off, teasing us at the beginning and end of the episode.
3. Better Call Todd: The Todd scene from last week's episode seemed out of place. Some even called it a flaw in an otherwise flawless hour of television. Nothing on this show is aired by accident, every camera shot,scene and minute has purpose. Last week's diner scene with Todd was strategically placed so that when Walt calls him at this end of the episode, we immediately remember the creepy trio.
4. Old Yeller: As Breaking Bad winds to a close there are many things I will miss, chief among them, any scene with Bob Odenkirk. Tonight for the second straight week, his character Saul implores Walt to kill Jesse, of course he does this in typical Saul fashion, this time drawing a parallel to the movie Old Yeller. The show's episode is called rabid dog, fits so well, great scene.
5.What's one more: In for a penny in for a pound eh, Skylar? Walt is doing everything in his power to not kill Jesse when his wife in no uncertain terms suggests that Walt kill Jesse. It was a role reversal to be sure, Skylar is all-in where Walt and the cover up are concerned. Here Skylar is level headed and Walt is guided by emotion.
