Trivia
This 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.

Goofs
Jesse 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.

Quotes
Jesse Pinkman: Gatorade me bitch!

Absolutely Riveting Television

I feel bad for this episode. Not that so many people hate it; people are entitled to their opinions. I feel bad that what I think is a masterfully executed episode is, in the popular opinion, the lowest rated episode of the entire series.

While the beginning starts off a tad bit slow, the payoff is all worth it in the long scene towards the middle/end of the episode where Walt and Jesse are having a lengthy conversation. The whole scene is splendid. The camera angles that provide a bit of an uneasy feeling (like when the frame is shaky when it is looking directly at Walt). The lighting that is, as per usual, superb and is just beautiful. And the background music, even though it is minimal, adds to the tension. Just so many things go right to make this an excellent episode.
