I thought the previous episode, Rabid Dog, had some great emotional sequences: Jessie’s post-traumatic paranoia, Skyler’s booze-fueled morality collapse, Hank’s single minded callousness…but I expect at least one overtly violent, gross or shocking moment. every. single. episode.
And last week…nuthin’.
But no complaints tonight: that was a tense showdown and no mistake. My toes curled. Yes, it’s a pity that once the assault rifle started firing we are supposed to believe two not-particularly-in-shape men having the drop gotten upon them, out numbered/gunned/in the open can escape unscratched from a fusillade. But…that’s cinema: some jackass always has to upset the fruit cart.
Walt’s cash blind sniveling+ self-righteous rage= perfect. I also think this may be the happiest we are ever going to see Marie.
Jessie’s hand was twitching toward the door handle; hope he makes a break for it…
Only 3 more?!? Noooooooo!!
