It's slow While I don't mind 'Fly' being considered the 'least best' ep by most, if the chief criticism of it is that it's 'slow,' I feel it's my duty to remind you that the vast majority of Breaking Bad moves like molasses; it's just those key major / dramatic moments that stick with you the most.

WarfireX 04/22/24 2:56:40 PM #7:	This always baffles me on rewatches. Basically, Breaking Bad is such a perfect show that to choose a worst episode was always going to be an odd choice. It's just as good of an episode as any, and just doesn't reach the highs of the best episodes, but because it takes a two person play angle, people try to make a case against it. Bizarre. --- I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too! Pour me some bubbly now it's all you gotta do! <cite>WarfireX posted [p:980039998] in Can't beli...

Doe 04/22/24 2:56:47 PM #8:	I just don't understand like, even if you don't care for the themes or foreshadowing or exploring Walt's character, the premise of the episode is just fun in a really unhinged way. Jesse thinking Walt has legit gone insane because Walt is building a giant flyswatter and falling off the railing, so he's drugging Walt's coffee etc. all of Bryan Cranston's experience as an actor is on display. It's not the lowest rated because one has to be, people specifically pick on it for being a bottle episode and I often hear "doesn't move the plot forward" thrown around. Yet it's extremely important, genuinely critical, to understand Walt's development and his acclimation to his life after Skyler learns his secret. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY <cite>Doe posted [p:980040001] in Can't beli...

Southernfatman 04/22/24 3:02:38 PM #12:	It's great. Both explores Walt's and Jesse's charactes and is hilarious. I love the dumb slapstick. It was done right without being too much.
