Fly

Fly is a very strong example of what can be done with limited resources.

It could have just been the two actors exchanging dialogue for the running time, but it is a lot more.

Thanks to the cinematography and editing, the visual storytelling is excellent throughout. Walt's obsession to control everything down the minutest detail is brilliantly captured, along with a realisation that somethings cannot be. Some of the related slapstick moments are very funny.

The more serious reflective dialogue between the two characters is very good. It is made plausible by the portrayal of Walt's lack of sleep and use of sleeping pills. Certain moments fill you with anticipation about how much information he is going to spill about certain events.

The content of Better Call Saul does put a new spin on any scenes set in the lab, so watching this the second time round is even better.

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are on great form, but the whole crew deserve plaudits for making such a simple premise work so well.

This episode is highly criticized and underestimated. Bottle episodes appear in many shows, but here we have are able to just sit, relax and cherish the great acting of our favorite actors. The experience I got from this episode was almost theatrical and I got a better chance at examining the acting skills, the cinematography, writing, directing and I proved myself that I wasn't wrong from the first episode - this show is a masterpiece.

Fly is a very controversial episode, I've seen a lot of reviews (mostly positive) about this episode, and i feel that fly has its magic, someone may not understand the symbolism, references etc. But the details this episode has, the dialogues, the ambience everything is nailed perfectly, but thats only my opinion, there are a lot of people that don't think the episode is good, and that the episode's boring and bland and uninteresting, and its just a filler (which is true) but i dont think its JUST a filler, i think that ''Fly'' is the perfect example of a bottle episode, the best filler you could ever ask for. Breaking Bad ran out of money and decided that they could make an amazing episode with limited budget, and they managed to do that and even more.

This episode is kinda funny and have great lines, like the one above. Give it a chance!

I understand the negative reviews. It's because this episode doesn't fit the mood of the season, and seems outplaced, just a filler. But it isn't.

It's a great episode. One of the last Walt and Jesse pure interations that you'll see until the end of the series. And the last appearance of "99% pure Walter White", before Heinseberg "contaminated" him (catch that?). Doesn't focus on the fly. Focus at the interation of this two great characters and the last goofiness show of the genuine and old Walter White. Enjoy!

About the series: "Breaking Bad" has 5 seasons and a total of 62 episodes. It stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris and RJ Mitte. The series has gained a lot of popularity over the years, and let's face it, it really is a masterpiece to be praised.

About the episode: "Fly" is the lowest-rated episode of the series, considered by many to be weak or simply nothing more than a filler episode. I, on the other hand, agree with the other people, and boldly say that this episode is not bad at all.

First of all, I think the writing is brilliant. The chemistry between Walt and Jesse is amazing, and this episode isn't just about a fly... it's about the dialogue.

Another thing I should note is that a lot of people are comparing this to the episode "4 Days Out" (S3 E9), which some say is better. I think both episodes are equally good (perhaps what "4 Days Out" does better is combine comedy and drama in a slightly better way than "Fly" does).

On the other hand, the episode has some slapstick humor that I think is well placed and fits the episode.

All in all, a very underrated episode.
