Breaking Bad had its fifth installment of the third season last night, and it was probably the worst so far of the season. I am glad that Walt will be back in the lab cooking up meth, it's the way this show should be, but the rest was just really boring. Hank getting ever so close to the truth just didn't really resonate with me, and those scenes with Skylar were unbeliavably painful and unbearable.

AMC shows are traditionally slow-moving, but when Mad Men feels like Usain Bolt compared to this episode, that is a problem.

Oh well, can't hit a home run every night.moreless

Walt gets made an offer he can't refuse

This episode was quite an enigma this week as we see Skyler second guess her affair with Ted. Walt gets shown his new lab which is quite worthy of many jaw dropping sensations for chemists as Gus explains the arrangements of their "would be" deal that he had previously proposed. Jesse wants his "half" that Walt got last week. Gus had a very interesting moment in which he explains that a man provides for his family without love, respect, and whatnot and I think that touched home on Walt. Skyler was especially watchable this week as she doubted herself and moved closer to accepting Walt, even though in the end Walt moves on and has signed the divorce papers. The small moment where she asks him if he wants to get Holly when she cries made me all watery eyed. Good flashback, wasn't sure at first what to make of it, Hank is getting really close to Heisenberg and a nervous breakdown as he delves deeper into his investigation. A very good installment.moreless

Things are starting to pick up for Breaking Bad. This definitely was not the worst of the series, it was actually a very memorable intriguing episode, with the same pace as the past episodes. This episode actually managed to be very eventful, after a promising start from the season 1 flashback to the very surprising intriguing ending. Although Anna Gunn is a terrific actress, I found myself rolling my eyes every time Skylar appeared on my TV screen, this episode just gave her too much screen time, with unnecessary development regarding her relationship with Ted. The only eventful part of her scenes was the ending. Walt signs the divorce papers.

Jesse wants his half of the money, and Walt & Jesse get mediated by Saul. Meanwhile Hank looks for the RV, with some luck. Gus building a meth lab for Walt was a great scene, another great scene is when Jesse destroys Walt's window after being left by him in the "business"

Commendable performance to Aaron Paul, and Jesse is easily the best supporting character of this show. So Walt begins cooking meth, this brings us hope, now that things will pick up, but the only thing that needs to be brought back is Jesse & Walt working together. Hopefully that gets resolved in the next episode. In the end, Hank connects the RV to Jesse! Wow. Great cliffhanger here. Great superb episode of Breaking Bad tonight, definitely picked up the pace.moreless

  Jesse: Do you think this will keep me from cooking?
  Walt: Cook whatever you like, as long as it's that ridiculous 'Chili P' or some other drek. But don't even think about using my formula.

- Gus: When you have children, you will always have family. They will always be your priority, your responsibility. And a man provides. And he does it even when he is not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it, because he's a man.
