    Fly is still one of the best episodes of any show I have ever seen.

    What's your thesis on?
    (If you don't mind-it certainly has to be more interesting than this 20 plus page thread about a cable show>)
    Three photographers you've probably never heard of.

    Agreed. Cranston is amazing there. And in general I think episodes like that one are a big part of what makes the show work so well. The moments of quiet make the loud that much more impressive.

    It's not condescension, it's the truth. Most of my fellow art history grad students aren't even very familiar with their work.

    How do you interpret that episode?

    ... never added any variables to the story... an hour devoted to expanding on Walt's internal demons in an odd way... just an artsy episode imho.

    IIRC, back in the thread, after the Fly episode, everybody thought it sucked and was a wasted episode.

    I'd argue that expanding on Walt's internal demons added a lot of variables to the show. Plot isn't everything.

    It's not going to be my only degree.

    But, , if it comes down to it, barista > jobless.

    Perhaps... whatever your view, I don't think anyone can argue that the episode is inconsistent with the series. All of the episodes are well written, but I think the Fly episode was a mistake. Your job as a writer/director isn't to make your audience that's been following for 3 seasons at that point to say "WTF?"

    It's perfectly consistent with the end of Crawl Space.

    Eh... I don't see that from a writing point of view or a cinematic point of view... I guess they're both showing Walt losing his mind, but I would bet you're one of the very few to attempt linking those two episodes on any level.

    And I'm going to be an asshole by asking this... but oh well. It's the internet. Do you think you're somehow smarter because you think you can see something in that episode that others can't?

    It's just a waste of an hour. The only time Vince has slipped up in the entire series in my mind. I didn't think Walt was anymore haunted or ed up by the end of the episode. I think what Vince wanted, but failed to translate of Walt from the fly episode, he achieved in the latter episodes of S4.

    Fly was very important in the Walter/Jesse relationship tbh. Plus not every episode can be an action packed fest or it turns into Lost.

    No, I just thought it was a great episode - theatre of the absurd - or Coen Brothers lite. I was not a huge fan of the episode with the meth heads and the ATM machine myself, but it was along the same lines. Walt was done second guessing himself by the end of s4, so I dunno about your last point.

    half the time Walt Jr.'s parents talk to him, they're telling him to eat breakfast.
