Episode 10 or “FLY” is amazing for 2 reasons. It’s the only filler episode in breaking bad 2nd is it makes you realize breaking bad has only 1 filler episode in the entire series. I think that might still be only 1 reason

My mother has just passed away and Breaking Bad is one of her favorite shows. She was able to see all of Better Call Saul. My mom got me into Breaking. I was hooked after watching the first episode, No Pun Intended lol. I don't know how many times I have seen every episode, but sometimes I forget what happens like when Pete and "Brandon" show up to the meetings with Jesse, I know that happens, but not how it played out with Badger and Pete talking to each other which made me laugh. Another one is when Skylar makes up the lie of Walt's gambling addiction. I knew she tells Marie that, but not how it played out. Seeing Walt looking at Skylar while she's telling Marie the story is my favorite. I was cracking up Walt looking at Skylar wondering how the story is going to go lmao.

The Fly episode is the perfect way how a tv series makes a filler episode. There are tv shows that have that one episode or episodes that just feels like a filler episode or a animated show that has mostly filler episodes in a season because the writers don't know how to write each episode around the main plot, so they make these side mission episodes that may never get mentioned again and you can skip those episodes and won't miss any story. That part where the light goes out when Walt is about to hit the fly is so funny. They're like Laurel and Hardy comedy duo at times. Hilarious and it fits with the story and characters.

I don't think of The Fly as a "filler" episode -- that would be an episode of no consequence to the overall plot. It is like the season 2 episode "4 Days Out" in that it is a "bottle" episode, in which all of the action involves a minimum number of characters and only one set. The purpose of a bottle episode is to save money in the budget that can be applied toward more expensive episodes. Besides being a well-written and brilliantly directed episode, it goes deeply into Walt's character and Walt and Jessie's relationship. BTW, Rian Johnson also directed season 5's Ozymandias, which is the consensus best episode of the series. He also directed the movies Looper, Knives Out and The Last Jedi (many have problems with the last one, but the directing is brilliant and it is without a doubt the most beautiful Star Wars movie). Walt is at a point where he can't ignore that bad things are happening because of him and his choices. He realizes he's dealing with a dangerous man in Gus. Jessie has been beaten to within an inch of his life by both Tuco and Hank, and Walt allowed Jane to die -- the guilt is so great that he almost confesses here. He talks again and again about what he could have said or done in the past to ease the pain and suffering that he has caused. He warns Jessie about stealing the meth because he truly is concerned at this point about Jessie's well-being. He knows that the Fly is not the contaminant, he himself is -- the choices he's made are the contaminant. But he still can't think of stopping, just imagining what he could've said or done in the past that would have made all of the bad consequences better but still allowed him to be here making money. After this episode Walt goes all-in on his transformation into Heisenberg.
