    Excellent cliffhanger, brilliant opening, and it really brought Walt, his motivations where he is at, and what he is willing to do for it, really into perspective.
    I remember Vince Gilligan getting excited when he was asked about whether we'd ever learn more about Grey Matter and Walt's history with it, which to a less capable showrunner and writer would have been a nervous annoying question that they'd have to shrug off or lie about, because they themselves had forgotten. VG though had not of course and so he was stoked that someone still remembered and had asked.
    The Grey Matter revelation to Jesse was a big moment for Walt and this season. As was the follow up with Walt telling Jesse the empire is all he has left. It gave me a since of who that fifty two year old Walt we saw in the premiere teaser was and how he got there.

    A fine episode, but Walt is so full of shit. He just loves the power and thinks it's fun building his "empire." He wouldn't trade it for his family even if he could. If he really wanted his family, you'd think he would discuss the option of quitting with Skyler to find out if he could change her mind about him. I really hope we weren't supposed to feel any sympathy for him because of that "it's all I have left" speech.

    I don't think we were meant to feel sympathy, Vince Gilligan has stated we are not meant celebrate Walter and his triumphs not now. It was all about how once again he has manipulated Jesse into taking his side.


    It is going to be a great moment when his empire comes crashing down.

    Another amazing episode. I kind of expected Jesse to lose the plot after last week but once again Breaking Bad surprises me with where they take the characters. Aaron Paul's performance at the Most Awkward Dinner Ever was splendid, even the way he was drinking the water was damn near perfect.

    Walt finally says the truth: he doesn't do it anymore for the family or for the money, he wants to be Heisenberg. As Mike and Jesse have made that proposal to Walt, I have felt the blood freezing through my veins: lost cause, lose end. Then the meeting Jesse / Skyler / Walt is one of the most amusing and surreal of the whole series, thanks to a superlative Aaron Paul: he made me burst into tears (from laughing!) with all the faces he does ahahaha! You can literally feel the tension and the embarassament from Jesse in that situation: lol. And the cliffangher, in pure Breaking Bad's style, sets up the story arc of the next one. They are going to make me bite the fingernails till Sunday (ew!). Who knows what's up to him? :-S Everybody Wins!

    That's what I figured, but I haven't watched any interviews with Gilligan so wasn't sure my view was the same as the writers.
