Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst appearance of Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo "Gus" Fring.
- GoofsAfter Jesse tells Walt that Combo is dead, Jesse has a brief conversation with Skinny Pete about Combo. Skinny Pete says that Combo called him before he died saying that 'a couple of dudes were mad-dogging him trying to run him up off the corner'. However all Combo told Skinny on the phone was that he's 'up on 2nd and Hazeltine, getting eyeballed hard'. This isn't a continuity error, especially given Skinny Pete's propensity for inaccuracy and exaggeration when explaining things. Even at the base level, the two descriptions can mean the same thing to different people.

Featured review
All the wrong decisions
The plotting of this one feels fairly contrived in certain moments, but nevertheless they are powerfully effective. They showcase a number of characters exercising what Gus Fring would describe as poor judgement in scenes that make you put your head in your hands for them and those around them. It is strong filmmaking to produce emotive reactions from the audience.
It is memorable for introducing Fring in such an effective way. I remember these scenes clearly from my first viewing many years ago, so credit to all involved for making the moments stick in my head.
For Sopranos fans there is some common ground with the casting of Sam McMurray as cancer surgeon and another incredibly uncomfortable Marilyn Monroe impression by a cast member.
Everything leads to a highly suspenseful cliffhanger ending that makes you want to find out what happens next.
All actors are on great form, especially Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Anna Gunn. Giancarlo Esposito has one of the most cinematic faces ever and uses it to great effect.
Visually it is excellent as always. The scenes of drug use stand out, but pretty much every shot is top drawer.
