Featured reviews
This is the tenth episode of the third season of Breaking Bad and while seen as a filler episode, it is very bizarre and very interesting. I thought it was going to be boring, but then the famed fly came into play. Based off many of the reviews, people seemed to dislike this episode a lot. Well, not me. This is a testimony of how great Cranston's and Paul's acting is, because they practically carried the entire episode.
In this episode, "Fly," Walt begins to suffer from extreme paranoia and insomnia. Walt believes his formula doesn't add up to the amount of meth they are producing. But when a housefly is located in the lab, Walt becomes so paranoid that he goes to any length to kill the fly.
Overall, I found this to be a good psychological case study. It shows how the emotions of Walt are starting to catch up with him. It's very funny to see how Walt tries to kill the fly. I can understand why people would hate this episode, but I certainly didn't. I rate this episode 9/10.

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.
Somehow this is the lowest rated episode in the series. How.
Walt's monologue about the perfect moment is one of the best of the show and maybe one of the greatest monologues in tv.

I recently rewatched this one and wanted to review it. It's hilarious, has amazing camera shots, like every episode of Breaking Bad it's well edited and incredible director Rian Johnson had the honor of directing the lowest rated episode and the highest rated one of the series!
After watching S6E7 of Better Call Saul - I wonder where that fly came from... Almost seems like the writers already had the whole story figured out 14 years ago. Amazing storytelling.

- TriviaThis is a "bottle episode," an episode with limited cast and sets produced due to limited budget. The show had spent much of the budget on the building of the superlab, so a low-cost episode was needed.
- GoofsJesse talks about a TV show on hyenas that he saw. He says the head hyena was "the Man" and how gross it was that the other pack members had to "lick his junk" to show respect. Either Jesse or the script writer didn't realize that among hyenas the females are actually dominant, including the leader of the pack. They are larger than the males and have other marked masculine physical traits due to a naturally high level of testosterone. If Walter knew that, he didn't bother to correct Jesse's mistake.
