Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWith Walter engineering Gale Boetticher's replacement by Jesse, for reasons unrelated to competence or the daily 'business' routine, Gale falls victim to precisely the kind of political machinations and non-chemistry factors that made him leave academia and become a criminal in the first place, as he told Walter previously.
- GoofsWhen Walt and the DEA agents visit the assassin in the hospital, his arms are free. As he was just involved in the attempted murder of an agent and the murder of bystanders he would have been under arrest and handcuffed to the bed frame.
- Quotes
Hospital Worker: [Jesse has been released from the hospital and escorted to the door in a wheelchair, he lights up a cigarette] Sir, if you want to smoke, you need to be 20 feet away from the door.
Jesse Pinkman: So roll me further bitch!

Featured review
Now you see, now you don't
'Breaking Bad' is one of the most popular rated shows on IMDb, is one of those rarities where every season has either been very positively received or near-universally acclaimed critically and where all of my friends have said nothing but great things about.
Very few shows in recent memory had me so hooked from the very start that before the week was over the whole show had been watched, especially when for a lot of shows now airing watching one episode all the way through can be an endeavour. 'Breaking Bad' had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant and most addictive shows in many years (maybe even ever) is more than deserved in my eyes. Its weakest season is perhaps the first season, understandable as any show's first season is the one where things are still settling.
Actually everything is established remarkably from the very start, but once the writing and characterisation becomes even meatier the show reaches even higher levels.
"I See You" is not a Season 3, or 'Breaking Bad, high-point, but the slower and less-action-heavy approach to the episode is not really a hindrance. It is not a "taut" episode strictly speaking and other episodes of the season and show have more intensity. All that aside, "I See You" is still a great episode that in no way disgraces the show at all (far from it).
Visually, "I See You" is both stylish and beautiful, with photography and editing that are cinematic quality and put a lot of films today to shame, where there are a lot of visually beautiful ones but also some painfully amateurish looking ones. The music always has the appropriate mood, never too intrusive, never too muted.
The writing in "I See You" is a fine example of how to have a lot of style but also to have a lot of substance. The dialogue throughout is thought-provoking and tense, while also have a darkly wicked sense of humour, nail-biting tension and heart-tugging pathos. The story is texturally rich, intimate, tense and layered, with the pace of it consistently deliberate but taut.
Can't say anything bad about the acting. Bryan Cranston is phenomenal as one of the most fascinating anti-heroes, or even of any kind of character, in either film or television. Aaron Paul has never been better and Anna Gunn is affecting. Dean Norris is once again terrific, he and the character of Hank add a good deal. The same thing goes for Giancarlo Esposito. The characters are compelling in their realism and the episode is strongly directed.
Overall, not as amazing as the previous two episodes but still great quality. 9/10 Bethany Cox
