Exactly what I thought. Obviously it wouldn't have even been included had JB's answer not been funny.

Interesting.Looking back at the corner camera in Hank's office, it doesn't look like a surveillance camera since there was movement like they tend to use on regular camera shots. I'd imagine if Gilligan was trying to imply it was a surveillance camera, it would have been a locked shot.Great acting by Mike in the park knowing it's probably the last time he'd see his granddaughter."How could Mike use that clown of a lawyer"
Especially right after showing the blowup Statue of Liberty on his roof.Keep in mind when I called it my favorite episode yet, I was enjoying the show with a percocet and xanax. I was dialed in. Maybe dialed in a bit too much. . There wasn't a wasted scene in this 44 mintues though. I was on the edge of my seat. Loved the Monkeys music in the cook montage and Walt's Muhammad Ali style to open the show. Standing by my call of maybe best episode yet. My top 5 1. Salud 2. Say My Name 3. Half Measures 4. Full Measures 5. Face Off Honorable mention: Crawl Space

So bummed Mike was killed and the way it was done, then the senselessness of it all as Walt could have gotten the info elsewhere. What a waste of a good character.

He killed Mike for a lot of reasons, the list being the least of them.
Awesome.After watching that, there's no question that I'm going to go back and watch the whole series again from start to finish.The only series I've watched more than once is The Wire, which I've watched from start to finish three times so far. And I may watch it a fourth time at some point.Breaking Bad is definitely worth a second viewing. As for a third or fourth, I'll have to wait and see how it ends...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think they're trying to make him look like not a bright guy (shooting kid, not handling the chemistry well/looking like a remedial student to Walt). It could be all a plan to infiltrate Heisenberg. Who knows.... He seemed really eager to stand out when everyone on that crew was told not to talk.

I don't understand that. How was killing Mike going to get him the names? I thought he killed Mike out of rage for what he said to Walt and how he treated him, not because he wouldn't give up the names.
Saul knows a guy who knows a guy who does séances.

Well I think he was hoping Mike would give him the names just so he could gain some satisfaction that Mike was afraid of him. Of course that wasn't going to happen so Walt capped him. But hey, by Mike's own standard his killing was justified by how much he knew.

Need to do a BB qutoes draft, two notable ones in there:
"Skyler, I am not in Danger, I am the Danger."
"A guy opens the door and gets shot and you think that of me, No. I am the one who knocks."
"Skyler, I am not in Danger, I am the Danger."

Probably the best and most defining scene of the entire series for me.

You are right. I lost power Sunday night, did not catch this until late last night. I definitely believe Mike said what was on all of our minds the entire time and Walt kills him...essentially if you kill Mike, you kill a lot of the audience in a roundabout way. not saying the audience turns the tube off, not at all, but it really makes Walt the antagonist and takes him from a guy we were sort of rooting for and could rationalize a lot of his behavior early on but now I just keep waiting for Hank to discover it all, of course that may never happen but I keep hoping.

Good point. There's a general trend that seems to get cranked up to 11 in this thread.

I don't know if we give a s--t about the late-comers to this show, but for those catching up, that subtitle is really spoilery.

I seriously can't imagine someone getting into this show and thinking that the main character is going to be some sort of moral paradigm. He sells meth, which ruins people's lives. You know this going in. Tony Soprano was a mobster, who also ostensibly ruined people's lives. Both characters, despite some redeeming or human qualities, are engaged in immoral acts.
People are strange with television. The whole disdain for Skylar is the other side of this coin that I just don't understand. I find both Skylar and Walt's characters fascinating, but I don't "like" Walt.

I'm still waiting to read a psychologist's detailed analysis of Walter White.I think it would be an even more riveting study than Good Tony Soprano/Bad Tony Soprano/Kevin Finnerty, etc.

I'm on episode 36. The "fly" episode is without question the worst episode of the series. Shameful.

Sepinwall disagrees with you. Also some interesting background on the "bottle episode":http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/breaking-bad-fly-the-best-bottle-show-ever

Some think it's the best episode of the series. It came about due to budget restrictions.
People like Walt because he does whatever he wants, but then feel conflicted when he starts killing people.

Great read.Raider Nation posted a really good one with Cranston awhile back.
They seem to have really good personalities. And it is really cool to see how appreciative and humble they are about the show. I've read an interview with Anna Gunn, and she gave off the same vibe.

Of course then there's folks like my dad. He's grown to like Walt the worse he becomes. Wants him to win, thinks he should have shot the kid instead of waiting for Landry, and says Skylar, Jesse, Mike, and Hank need to die. Claims Walt is the only likeable character on the show. Oh and he looked up how to cook meth a couple weeks back.
