Ah, that ol' writer's strike strikes again.

So this show manages to take a tired premise of 'kill the bad guy with poison but heroes fail because reasons' and breathes a bit of new life into it by virtue of Tuco playing 20 questions with a bell. It is quite a good thing Walt and his pal have been dealing with a crazy person, because that's about the only way their plot armor can be justified at this point.

Timing is another cool thing I've seen this show make good use of. Like having Hank show up doesn't feel like a cop out, when it was explicitly set up earlier in the episode. Then you have the dinging of the bell riiiiight as the credits pop up. There is an adorable undercurrent of humor that occasionally gets mixed into this otherwise serious business show, and I love it.
