Breaking Bad 4x11 "Crawl space"
That show gives me tachycardia! How are they going to top that?
The last 10 minutes were just WOW. Better than most thrillers...and that last shot. One of the best things ever filmed on tv. Unbelievable.
I think that Jesse learnt a lesson when he saw how an injured enforcer like Mike was treated. Useful but simply disposable to Gus and his employees.
Jesse likes Mike but I don't think he likes Gus at all.
Skyler, what have you done?!!!! The Beneke situation was such a mess. And it ended in pure dark comedy.
The Chekhov rug thing was telegraphed but well done, and Ted's fall made me think of the excellent, and sadly cancelled, Terriers, a lot! I'm pretty sure it was intentional given that the actor who plays Ted died in a stupid way while trying to escape in an episode of Terriers.
I just love dark comedy, something Breaking Bad was so good at in season 1!
And nice wink at The Godfather with the oranges falling over Ted, or at The Bridge on the River Kwai in Tio's nursing home. Is there some foreshadowing going on?
It was nice to hear that Jesse is not okay with Gus killing Walt "Then you've got a problem". That's my boy!
Love the idea of the role reversal: once upon a time, Walt said he wouldn't cook if Jesse were killed (he said it to Tuco first, and again to Gus and Mike); now it's Jesse's turn. Once upon a time Walt chased a desperate Jesse from his house, now it's Jesse. Will he end up making sandwiches for Walt? I hope so.
Walt ends the episode being in dire strait, an idiom that translates as "être dans de sales draps" in French which amuses me given the scene in which he had to sneak in, buried under dirty sheets (literally "sales draps" in French!)! It was so humiliating for Walter. Bad Tyrus!
My heart was bleeding when Walt saw Jesse again. He looked so relieved/happy to see his surrogate son alive and the way he said his name...but then they went on hurting each other again. Jesse can't forget Walt's cruel words. By the end, Walt was teary. Oh Walt, I feel for you.
But in the desert Walt realised that Jesse would refuse to cook if Gus killed Mr White. It made me happy that Walt was aware of that. He had something to hang on to. Also his "or else you'll do what?" sounded partly like a challenge, partly like Walt's refusal to stay away from HIS boy.
Gus taunting Tio (can't call him Hector, he's still Tio or Bell Man to me), or in the desert (great shot again with a convenient cloud passing over and casting a large shade!)threatening to kill Skyler, Junior and Holly (the so adorable Holly! Her outfit this week was just so cute btw): Chicken Man, not being cool but behaving like a sociopath, showing his "real face". Gus must go now! Off with him (btw I'm getting bored with the character).
Walt crying and begging Saul to tip off the DEA about Hank being in danger. No Hank doesn't deserve to die. He is a better person than Walt and Walt must know it.
*pets Walt*
They can't kill Hank, can they?
The last shot of Walt, laughing in the crawl space...wow! BrBa is so stylised. It looked like Walt was already six feet under, in a coffin, trapped...and those pulsating walls (shaking around him like his own chest) that the shot slowly revealed. It was awesome.
Walt's being trapped echoed the fate of Tio, there was the same sense of helplessness.
BTW he's coughing again.... Cancer Man is back.
Either way he's going to die.
But there are still two episodes to go, and a season 5 left...I don't think they would dare to kill Walt or Jesse now.
Gus has to die.
It's time for Walt to remember he knows his way around chemicals and can blow things up...or for Jesse to use that ricin cigarett.
ETA: I checked the T.V/ A.V.Club, there are already 1408 comments for that episode of Breaking Bad! Sheer craziness.
