Storyline

Hank has Walter drive him to the chicken ranch for regular stakeouts then suggests a detour to check out an industrial laundry. How can Walter get out of this one? Ted refuses to pay the IRS, so Skyler turns to Saul who sends his A team. Although Walter has continued to cook while getting no word on what's happened in Mexico to Jesse, Jesse has had his own six-mile walk with Gus through the desert to the Texas border. When circumstances prevent Walter from cooking for four days, he realizes that someone has been doing the job without him; Gus confirms Walter's suspicions with a nasty set of threats. Now Walter is truly desperate.

Mindblowing

Breaking Bad has held me captive in its twists and developments unlike any other TV drama has, but even taking into consideration my love of episodes past, Crawl Space just blew me away. I find it hard to understate the exceptional cinematography, cast performances (particularly Brian Cranston and Giancarlo Esposito), and the almighty climax of the episode. Cranston is hitting peaks few actors manage to achieve, comparable to Anthony Hopkins or Jack Nicholson, all of the characters are developing in ways I could never have anticipated, yet in hindsight seems to fit so perfectly.

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see more awards thrown at Breaking Bad in light of this episode, simply perfectly created drama.
