Fat Damon took me out just a touch, and I am not sure this was necessary, but it was indulgent to dip back into this universe. The cinematography, writing, and direction is so wonderful. I don't understand why Vince Gilligan isn't involved in big budget fare for hollywood.

It was great overall. It was truly remarkable how much I cared about the characters. I don’t normally get into the one off shit. |

This was pretty good. Vince Gilligan is a great director.

I’ve mentioned it somewhere, but Todd always frightened me. I’ve met people who remind me of them... very unsettling.
I prefer “fat, sumo wrestler body/sumo wrestler Asian looking face” Plemons compared to skinny, “picked up chicks on the FNL show looking like that” Plemons. Much more...frightening, that Plemons. |

This made me laugh. I half can't tell if it is supposed to be serious or not, but I was rolling.

Tough to watch as this was basically torture porn, all told from the perspective of Jesse. I hate that character....a complete ****up and coward. It was ultimate-cringe-inducing watching him broken and quivering. He had multiple opportunities to escape/take out his captors but was too cowardly to take them. As previously stated, I hate that character.
Spoiler!
All of that said, the writing, pacing, direction, acting, all excellent. It was definitely a solid entry by Vince Gilligan, which is not unexpected. You know you are super talented when you can make a program about a despicable useless character and still not only hold your audience, but truly entertain and do so in a smart, impressive fashion. |

Agreed. I've always been surprised by people's attitudes toward the BB characters. I get why people root for Walt but never got how walts sins were forgivable but people like Jessie and, in my opinion, Marie weren't. Skyler and hank I gst. But Jessie and Marie ended up at least having some moral conviction.

She tried to lift hank out of depression. Took care of skyler. Adamantly defended her family. Toward the end, her and Walt Jr were almost the only main characters left with any semblance of a moral compass. Her only crime was being annoying early in the show and petty theft. Meanwhile Walt and skyler threatened her family, lied to and manipulated her husband, and was behind a lot of the murders of her husband's colleagues.
