Walter agonises over an important decision.
This is a well written episode with some memorable moments.
Some of the best modern television involves well thought out storytelling with atention to detail. This episode shows early signs of how the Breaking Bad writers do it well. I love the start of interweaving and linking of events involving different characters.
The scenes involving Walt include great character insight and a high level of tension in certain moments. His dialogue with one character reminds me of some of the best exchanges in Tarantino movies. Bryan Cranston is fantastic as always.
Some parts are very funny. I love the scene involving Hank and Walter Jr, plus the involvement of Skyler and Marie in the lead up to it. The irony in everything that happens is very amusing.
Visually it has some brilliant moments, particularly the scenes relating to Crazy-8. The shots of Walter on the stairs and the broken plate sequence are classics.
