Sunset

When the episode begins a policeman finds a decaying corpse and then cut to pieces with an axe by the Salamanca brothers. Soon we cut to Walter and Skylar discussing about divorce, and Walt finds a new apartment where he can live alone at the moment. Hank will have the confirm that the RV is of Jesse when he sees Badger coming out of it, and if you followed the show you'd probably remember that Badger was previously arrested for drug dealing only to be freed by Saul Goodman. Walt starts working in his new underground lab and meets his new business partner Gale Boetticher. When Walter is called by Hank Walt then rushes to the RV's parking lot and ends up hiding in it along with Jesse. Walt then has an idea; calls Saul, makes his secretary pose as a police officer and telling Hank that Marie is involved in a car accident. Hank rushes to his wife while Walt and Jesse assist to the destruction of the RV. The Salamanca brothers have a meeting with Gus Fring and Gus says them that they shouldn't focus on Walter White but on Hank Schrader since he killed Tuco.

The RV part was very funny, thanks probably to the writing team, and the part at the end with the prank... that was really funny. Another winner in another great season.

This for me is the best episode of Season 3 so far, particularly in the standard of writing and suspenseful filmmaking.

I cannot give too much away with spoiling the plot, but it is safe to say an important new character is introduced well and iconic "character" is bid farewell in dramatic fashion.

The writers are particularly good in how they can seemingly paint themselves into a corner with certain situations that are high drama, but then find plausible solutions that work exceptionally well. They not only overcome certain obstacles, but do it in a way that develops characters. There is a moment where Hank has to make a decision after a receiving a certain communication that contrasts with a similar moment that Walt was in during the previous season and it contrasts the two situations very well.

For me the characters Walt, Hank, Jesse, Saul, Gus and Gale are used particularly well be the writers and filmmakers. All actors are on top form as always.

For me it is a 9.5/10 for me, but I round upwards. The only reason I do not score it as perfect is that Walt is arguably depicted as walking into a pretty foreseeable situation, considering that Jesse has been prone to reacting emotionally and irrationally. The writing of how the situation unfolds though is undeniably excellent.

It worth 20..30 not just 10 ♥ ♥ more than perfect ♥ ♥

After a couple of character centered episodes that explored their current mental state, we finally get an episode where things are picking up, taking us back to the great moments of the show!

The cold open of this episode remains one of my favorite of this season! Its dark with great directing and cinematogrophy! Good luck eating an apple without healing that soumd.. plus it doesn't hurt to see the the twins again!

Now Hank has tracked down the RV and tension rise in this clever scene! Really shows off intelligent writing! It was nailbiting as I could not figure out how things would pan out! Amazing!

This episode also introduces Gale! One of the most important characters this season! The ending left me wanna see the next episode right away!

Though the opening scene of "Sunset" is really great, you could have never guessed from it how intense the episode's final moments would be. Without any action, just with the means of television drama, writer and director Josh Shiban manages to glue you to the screen and keep you hooked with two outstanding cliffhangers that will get intertwined in the succeeding episode.

But back to "Sunset": Season three's sixth episode picks up from a point in the series, in which the entertainment factor is rather low and brings Breaking Bad back to former magnitude just by taking some of the parts everyone loved about the first two season (the process of cooking meth, Walt and Jesse being in peril together) and adorning them with some new aspects. Two of the show's newer parts, Giancarlo Esposito and the Mercada brothers, also get to share a scene together and impress with their extraordinary acting talents. The two scenes with Skyler and Walter Jr. were sub-par, but that doesn't carry too much weight since – as I said – there are only two scenes with them. Besides that, "Sunset" got me excited about the show again and definitely had some rememberable moments – for me, these were the introduction of Walt's new assistant Gale (played by David Costabile), the destroying of the RV, which was executed in the most fantastic manner, and, of course, the intense moments at the junkyard.
