Caballo sin Nombre

This is strong episode with memorable character moments.

Walt and Jesse are at opposite ends of the self awareness spectrum in this one, with numerous memorable scenes that show them coping with life in very different ways.

Walt's scenes are darkly funny as he tries to act like everything is normal with spectacularly bad results. Some moments are hilarious and Bryan Cranston is on top angry-funny form when the character loses his s***. (Glad I don't live in the Breaking Bad house or I'd probably lose it too if randoms kept throwing pizzas on my roof)

On the theme of humour Bob Odenkirk makes a great contribution again with more great examples of Saul Goodman pragmatism. His character is used well by the writers, seemingly as a catalyst for bad behaviour from the lead characters.

Jesse's scenes feel more serious, with his new attitude being quite noticeable. Aaron Paul is excellent in playing this character in various states of mind and this feels like a new dimension that works well. One situation he is involved in results in a very satisfying outcome (although it shouldn't) and is very slick in its portrayal.

The writers also expand the plot involving the drug cartels and the character Mike in away that lays good foundations for what is to come.

It's an 8.5/10 for me but I round upwards.

Acting: 8/10 Pace: 7/10 Story: 9/10 Writing: 7/10 End: 6/10

7.5/10

A pretty boring episode, definetely the worst episode in my opinion in a long time, maybe even the worst this season and a massive let down from the previous one. The Salamanca cousins are great but why would they live Walter at that time? What kind of plot armor is that or are they scared of gus? That shouldnt be the point for a Salamanca so im wondering.

The first half of the episode was paced so slowly, i found it quite boring. But give credit where credit is due, there were some pretty good scene's this episode, for example the laywer meeting with Saul and Jessie going into the house were pretty fun and entertaining to watch.

Overall almost no development to the show, the previous episode did that instead of this one and a bit too much plot armor surrounding Walt.

Reading some other review's i saw(and hope it is true) that the eyeball on Walt's suitcase represents that Walt is being watched, which is kind of interesting, the way the Salamanca cousins act.

I really love that line from Walt! It reminds us the he is the main character and that we are rooting for him cause we know he has good intensions in mind, even if what he is doing is wrong! He even knows that himself! After all... some of the best characters ever written are doing the wrong things for the right reasons!

I have always liked this episode! The use of the somg "Horse with no name" remains iconic to me! It also ballances humor with Walt throwing the pizza on the roof!

We have always seen Walt as a character who wants to be in control! This episode shows us how he responds when he is no longer in control!

Jesse get back at his parents in a clever satisfying way! RJ Mite does a great job acting wise in the dinner scene! We also now have an idea about who the trins are! The final scene with them was great and even intense! Iconic shot of them in the doorway! We also get a glimpse of Gus level of influence and how much might go back to him!

Why Walt? Why would you threw away that pizza like that? I don't think I'll ever forgive you for that.

I like the quiet Mexican cousins, there's tension in every scene they are featured.

I like also the song Walt's been singing. It's my new favorite song.

This is the second episode in the third season of Breaking Bad and so far, I continue to be impressed. The tone of the episode is rather slow, but it is understandable because of the story itself, which still held my complete attention. The acting is great and we can see the frustration of everyone in the family building up. My favorite scene is when Walt threw the pizza onto the top of the house in a fit of anger.

In this episode, "Caballo sin Nombre," Walt is trying to reconcile with his wife, but she is not having it at all. Walter Jr. and the rest of the family is trying to figure out what is going on. Jesse, fresh out of rehab, still has a poor relationship with his family but with the help of Saul, he is able to buy the house that his family has on for sale. Meanwhile these two mysterious cousins head to town to pay Walt a visit.

Overall, this is an excellent episode and I felt like the slowness added to the episode as this is about Walt trying to reconcile his family, which adds to the realistic tone of this show. I'm happy Saul returned, as well as the character played by Jonathan Banks, and that makes for an intriguing episode. I rate this episode 9/10.
