This was EXCELLENT. Hard to believe a year has passed since Walt's diagnosis.
Rian Johnson directed the hell out of this episode. I'm really quite impressed with what he did here, especially with all of the scenes between Walter and Skyler. What was that car sequence at the beginning though? It felt so strange and off the wall...
I guess this Lydia character is a little intimidating too. For a paranoid, unkept person, she seems to be kind of calculating and manipulative as well. Mike is probably right about her.
The highlight for me was definitely the final argument between Walter and Skyler though. It's such a challenging scene to watch. They've both been through so much over the past year, but it's all coming to an end soon it seems. Gunn and Cranston are stellar.
Very, very good.
