Everybody wins.

What a disturbing and hilarious episode, the rhythm and tone of Buyout are perfectly balanced.

I'm still thinking about how writers make so much room for Walter's internal motivations and how they still can make it feel real and even necessary for us as a viewers, the problema with Walt as many of us know is his personal vendettas (same thing Charles "Chuck" McGill has in Better Call Saul) those personal vendettas drives the character so far from his personal well being and it just ends up hurting people, of course they don't know exactly how much is the cost but they still want to take the risks, specially Walter. If he had taken his five millions maybe his family would have returned to home, but this is when the real masquerade comes out, at this point Heisenberg is only interesting about power. Power feels good.

I love that you actually feel the desesperación about his desire to cock and make an empire, I want to see him win and it's not because he'll keep cocking and putting himself in troubles, meaning more action in the series, it's just because I love Heisenberg as Heisenberg, that's it. I know I should not but what can I do. Just watch.

Also, what a funny piece of moment is the dinner scene, I laughed as hell.
