Good to hear early season's a low point for the show. It was still fine, but I've seen the show do better prior and hence and the difference is night and day.

So...new lawyer buddy, a fresh batch of meth, and off of the DEA radar for now. Now should be the time to expand and prosper, but how and for how long is the question.

Damn...I was so close to being able to understand Walt, and then he goes and does this thing with the tequila. First shot was fine, pretty much every kid gets that at some point, even Mr. DEA understands and expects this. But Walt keeps pouring them on. His kid, his bottle, his house. Look dude, I get it, you got cancer and an illegal drug hustle on the side. Chillax already! Or maybe this is part of a grand plan to 'attend' AA meetings to cook more? Walt's never been a master schemer so I doubt this, but who can say...he's in remission, so maybe the cancer is giving him superpowers now.

Oh man, I havent even entertained the notion that it could be a legit split personality disorder. Either he's spinning a lie to his wife, or his business name might be getting a bit more literal than intended. The first rule of Meth Club is you don't talk about Meth Club.

I should start keeping a tally of all the bald people in this show. Water heater salesguy is a fun add to the list. Has to be intentional, and I'd have it no other way.

Speaking of superpowers...cute scene with Jane and Jesse discussing old superhero drawings. I wonder if Rewindo could beat Gamefaqs Flash.

Sweet. Jane's dad is John de Lancie! Although it seems the relationship is a little less serious than I imagined it might be. I gather that Jane's got some commitment issues, if I am reading the 'tattoo artist with no tattoos' scene from a few episodes back right.

News in the background: Economy is getting bad, houses are foreclosing! Harmless background chatter, but it firmly cements the show as taking place at a very fixed time.

'Apology Girl' Maybe there's hope for Jesse yet! Great use of a prior scene's setup!

"Stay out of my territory" says Walt 2.0 to yet another baldy and his junkie pal, clear ersatz Walt and Jesse. Whole scene at the store was great too. From humor to serious business at the flip of a switch.

But Walt. You left the cans of protective coating in the store! How are you gonna deal with the rot now?! ...wait, is 'rot' being used symbolically to represent the non-Walt brand meth dealers? That he is ripping them all out and replacing them with something of his own construction? I bet scene analyzers had a field day with this one.
