'Breaking Bad,' Season 5, Episode 15, 'Granite State': review

I was disappointed with the episode. The writing seemed lazy; almost every speech seemed like exposition very clunkily put in someone’s mouth. There were very few of the little funny moments - I think the hat on the buck antlers was the only thing that really felt like those little gem camera shots I love about the show. I feel like they are hurtling to the final episode and there is too much plot to get through, so they threw this together. The directing, too, just seemed off. The way everyone was not made up, kind of plain, was such a departure from the look of the show previously that I felt like the episode didn’t fit. And the plot points just seemed so clumsy. That the vacuum repair guy would put himself at risk by repeatedly visiting the cabin is not believable at all - if he had a successful business like that it depends on getting in and getting out and making sure there are no tracks. I hope they redeem it with the final episode.
