These episodes have been flying by for sure. This season has been great thus far.

So this episode is titled "Fifty-One" (51) and Newsrooms episode the same night is titled "5/1".

I hope I don't get confused and watch the crappy one instead.

This is the one directed by Rian Johnson, who also directed the "Fly" episode.

Since that episode was great (screw you all!!), I'm excited.

I liked "Fly" as well. Never really understood why so many people dislike it.

The Fly is an all time classic episode.

So it's going to be 42 minutes of Walt looking at his cake. Great!

Interesting that "Fly" was brought up. I know a lot of people hated that episode (not me!), but I'm wondering if that episode's theme (Walt's obsession with contamination) will come into play this season. They're cooking in bug-infested houses now, and there was a quick camera shot of a bug inside one of the houses already this season. Maybe the "Bug" episode will have more resonance after the series is over....

Can't wait for tonight! Maybe I'll have cake while watching!

Walt & Junior with the cars.

How is Walt going to explain getting two brand new cars?

I also liked "The Fly", but reading this board back then I sure thought I was the only one.

This is the most interested I've been in what's going on with Skyler the entire series. She's like a ticking time-bomb and it's only a matter of time before Walt is going to do something to defuse the bomb.

Skyler: "All I can do is just wait."
Walt: "What are you waiting for?"
Skyler: "For the cancer to come back."

Damn, that's cold.

Shylap could fuck up a wet dream. All her shit throughout this series... man I hope she gets removed from the picture soon. I'm thinking
Spoiler:
Walt uses the Ricin


This bumbling Madrigal chick is cut from the same cloth. What an irritating buffoon.

I think you're right Dr Mabuse...and she was smoking a cigarette at the end of this episode, so that could be a bit of foreshadowing.

That was really touching how Jesse gave Walt a present for his birthday. It makes me hate Walt all the more for everything he's done to him.

Jesus, next week...

Wish we could have known Walt's plan for dealing with Gus' wife. Known now I mean.
