Really? I thought it was pretty straightforward. A lot less weird than the on the nose season 2 finale where the plane Walter is indirectly responsible for crashing has bodies land directly in his pool.

I am glad they got the confession stuff with Skyler out of the way. Really curious to see Walter vs. those cartel badasses.

That was some religious/superstition thing. I thought they made that pretty clear when the cartel dudes crawled in and put a sketch of Walter next to some weird altar.

Besides, that wasn't exactly very relevant to the plot. I'm just sayin the story itself was pretty straightforward.

Ahh, okay. For some reason I thought you meant opening like "opening episode" rather than opening scene. Just a misunderstanding.

Nice episode. Odenkirk is always good in this. Jesse doesn't seem like so much of an idiot when he's embracing his inner bad guy. And Walt's pizza toss was epic.

This episode should have been titled "I F***ed Ted."

Awesome stuff.

The last two episodes have been insanely good. The last five minutes of this one was about as awesome as anything on TV since the moon landing.

I think you're overrating it a bit. The ending for last week's episode was really good, that's true, but from the moment that bullet dropped you knew what was going to happen so they kindof killed the suspense right there.

This show has been great so far though, i'm amazed the writers managed to keep the quality up specially since the main plot of the show was resolved in the first two seasons.

The chicken man is brilliant! I can't believe how this season is turning out.

Sometimes exaggeration is used in discussion to convey enthusiasm. If I had said "the last five minutes is the best thing since the invention of sex." would you have taken that literally too?

As for the bullet thing, the show is not all thrilling drama. It's also black comedy. And inherent in black comedy is irony. Sometimes the littlest most innocuous things can end up having a huge impact. The bullet dropping might have killed the suspense a bit, but it added a note about the capricious nature of fate... and besides, with this show, you're never sure what appears is about to happen will actually happen.

I didn't take it literally, sorry if it sounded like that, i just didn't get the same impression from it as you did.
