Open House

This is for sure the worst breaking bad episode. It is full of character development in it, but there is nothing really remarkable about it. And what makes this worse than Fly is that Open House follows kind of the same format as every other BB episode. Even though it is the worst, doesn't mean it is bad, for sure.

Main question of the episode : how do we buy the car wash station ? Wow that's really a thrilling question, don't you think ? No ? No. Not really.

Too long scenes with too few arguments, only one conflict outside of the family (Mary strikes again too) This episode relies a lot on our memories, much more than the previous one. I think we miss events and action.

The characterization is really brilliant, the actors still great, and many interesting plots are put on... but it is still a promising beginning.

I hope next episode will be more consistent.

Pros:

• First appearance of Bill Burr as Kuby
• Hank is brought back into the Heisenberg investigation
• Huell's awkward introduction to Walt and Skyler

Cons:

• This is Marie at her most obnoxious
• Jesse's increasingly sketchier parties get a little repetitive

It is a slow episode, one of the slowest of the series, but it's easy to overlook the extremely important piece that is moved into place: Hank is moved much closer to Heisenberg

Great episode. Only thing that has managed to make Go Karting sad

This is the third episode of the fourth season of Breaking Bad. Like the previous episode, this episode is a slow-burner and takes it time telling the story. It's more or less the same plot, but there are more interesting moments here. Aaron Paul as Jesse shows some surprising depth as he has these bleak parties and shows a passion for go-karts in one memorable scene. It's nice to see Anna Gunn becoming more open in Walter's criminal life. Finally, Bob Odenkirk as Saul is able to inject some lighter moments in the episode.

In this episode, "Open House," Skylar is becoming more passively active in Walt's life as she still attempts to buy the car wash for money laundering duties and this time may have some luck with the help of Saul. Walter is angry that a camera was installed in the meth lab. Meanwhile, Jesse continues throwing parties to make his mind dwell elsewhere and Marie begins her kleptomaniac activities at open houses to help her ease the problems she has been having with Hank.

Overall, I thought this was a solid episode. It's not the greatest episode in the Breaking Bad's repertoire, but it is more interesting than the previous episode and it is nice to see a big problem of Marie during Season One make a return in this episode. I rate this episode 9/10.
