Fly

Even though nothing important happens in the episode, it has a very good script. Yes it could be slow, the plot could be stupid, i mean its just a fly, but it has a good developing. Everybody has different points of View, i get that. But its not a bad episode, just watch it again and Analise the dialogue very carefully.

"Fly" is a peculiar episode within the "Breaking Bad" narrative. While the series as a whole is known for its intensity and dramatic twists, this episode completely deviates from that formula. Set almost entirely in Walter White and Jesse Pinkman's laboratory, "Fly" focuses on Walter's obsessive efforts to catch a fly that has entered the laboratory.

For many viewers, this episode may seem slow or even boring compared to other episodes more packed with action and drama. However, there are those who appreciate "Fly" for its focus on the psychology of the characters and how it shows Walter White's growing paranoia and obsession.

The episode serves as a kind of introspective parenthesis amid the growing tension of the third season. It's a chance to stop and reflect on Walter's mind and how his newfound life in the world of crime is affecting his psyche.

Although it may not be everyone's cup of tea due to its slower pace and more introspective approach, "Fly" is an example of "Breaking Bad's" ability to experiment with narrative form and deliver episodes that challenge viewer expectations. It's a thought-provoking episode that, while not the most exciting, is still an integral and significant part of Walter White's journey into darkness.

I am surprised to say the least that this episode so far in the series is the lowest rated..! a 7.6 for this? from over 16000 contributors? Cmon!

Directed by Rian Johnson, this episode is one of the BEST bottleneck episodes ever made, certainly the best centered around a fly. I understand viewers consider this episode a hit or a miss as it doesnt take the story forward, instead it is an introspective episode centering only around Walt and Jesse. It is one of those rare episodes where both drop their facades and reveal their emotions around themselves and about each other, something that is rarely seen in the usual episodes. This particular episode took a break and painstakingly played with the analogy that was a fly that was bugging the central characters. It is artistic, innovative and at times touching and at other times hilarious.

Another reason why I realised I liked this episode so much is because it gave me what I love best about the show: the interaction between Jesse and Walt, which at times in this episode is the usual moronic, sometimes pensive, sometimes funny and sometimes just reflection.

I havent been able to get this episode out of my head. This ought to one of the top rated episodes of the series in my opinion. Happy watching folks!

This episode was a strange one, it sure feels like a filler to most people but when u listen carefully to the dialogue it isnt.Walt and jesse have a heart to heart conversation we dont usually get int he normal episodes .

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.
