Another Great Episode

The fifth episode on the second season of Breaking Bad is another great episode in the ever-continuing line of great episodes. It is still a little on the slow side, but the episode never feels boring thanks to some involving story lines. The acting continues to be incredible and the on screen chemistry between Cranston and Paul is stronger than ever.

In this episode, "Breakage," Walt is starting to feel better but is worried about how to pay off his bills. Jesse and Walt decides that they must become distributors and play the role that Tuco did. Meanwhile, Hank earns a promotion to a task force, but he may be suffering from health problems of his own.

Overall, this is another great episode. It's a little slow, but I believe they're only building the story so that the season will end in a bang. Nonetheless, this is still an intriguing episode. I rate this episode 9/10.
