I think Walt has officially lost it!

Rian Johnson directing the most divisive episode of Breaking Bad was just practice for Star Wars. The extreme tonal shifts in this episode simply shouldn't have worked, but he did such a great job slowly peeling back the layers of Walt's obsessive behavior until all that was left was his extreme remorse.

This was the only dud episode in the whole show. But in maybe ways it’s still symbolic and as always in typical BB fashion, always has a deeper meaning

I'm not sure if its a dud, but i also think this might be the only episode I skip. Once is enough

I hated this episode when it first aired! Had to wait a week for it and then wait another week for the story to advance. It’s a lot more tolerable watching it now when you can move on to the next episode immediately after.

The lowest rated episode (7.9 imdb) for years until recently overtaken by S4E03 ("Open House" 7.8 imdb) - "Fly" was produced as a result of the series' considerable budgetary restrictions and being unable to afford the $25,000–$35,000 needed to move the production trucks to a new location. Series creator Vince Gilligan remarked: "We were hopelessly over budget ... And we needed to come up with what is called a bottle episode, set in one location." Yep, not the best.

People either love or hate this episode.

I did like this episode, I do like that it mostly was all in one room. Walt having to admit to himself and then some to Jesse, which Walt fall asleep before he spilled the beans. Walt was admitting to Jesse that he does care for him and think of him as family. That is what I believe he was trying to say, hence the "I am sorry" about him not helping his girlfriend. Oh NO!!!, a fly is contaminating my home. I have to go now, bye

There is some good and really tense dialogue in this episode. Amazing writing...setting us up for future episodes.

I have to take a different view from most of the opinions about this episode. I think it is a masterpiece on a budget. In the first part we get almost an homage to Charlie Chaplin with Walt's solo buffoonery then it switches to Laurel and Hardy when Jesse is added to the mix. Then for the second part we get themes of fear, doubt hopelessness and regret at past decisions and their impact on lifes trajectory because of them. These are core themes which have been addressed by such titans of the stage and literature as Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov and Shakespeare. Walt is semmingly headed down a path of utter destruction and despair that would do justice to Hamlet or MacBeth. His analysis of his actions when he figured out exactly when his life "should" have ended is profound. This is what you get when you have two masterclass actors who you can turn loose and trust them to excel. Even though this episode came about from severe budget constraints it is superb. The only influence missing was Mel Brooks-- Maybe Walt and Jesse doing a song and tap dance to "Puttin' on the Ritz?

Not my favorite but an excellent episode. An IMDb rating of 7.9 is on the lower end for BB but is high generally. Agree there were revealing aspects about Walt. Agree Jesse makes it hard sometimes. Thanks for the multiple reactions to BB for this month. “But I miss her, though. God, I do.”

I seriously hope that those students you recruited were referred to as your "SWAT" team

I read they were over budget because of the cost of building that lab. Makes sense, the lab does look pretty impressive for a TV show.

I don't love or hate this episode. For me it's just 'meh'... For one thing, I try not to hate. Hate too often BREEDS more hate! Ofc TRY is the key word there, but I've gotten to where I really only hate some things that HAPPEN (whether to me, to my loved ones or general happenings across the world - those things I can hate); not any people, or works of people like a TV episode, a movie, a song, a band, whatever... A strong 'dislike' is as far as I'll go for those things. Yes, this is likely my 'least liked' episode, but I can't hate it. That said, I certainly don't *love* this one either, though I def can get behind some of the positive comments I've read here - and elsewhere. For what it is - a 'bottle-episode' - it works well enough, but I will only watch it now with a creator like Teegan! (who I love❤️‍🔥)

Flies do that... 🪰 Oh yeah, they also spread disease... So keep yours CLOSED... 😜

Know im way behind, but im surprised by all the negative comments about this episode. I had no idea it was one of the lowest rated. It's one of my favorites.

Ziro the Hutt

He did a great Star Wars film, he did an interesting episode here, and we know he also directed the best episode of Breaking Bad and one of the greatest pieces of tv ever made later. Rian is always worth watching.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with it. Its a breather, and is like a play where we get into the mindstate of both main characters before it all kicks off.
