Fly is a truly bizarre episode of BrBa. Hands down, it has one of the best camerawork in the whole series, it elaborates further into uneasy relationship between Walt and Jesse. But at the same time... it's just weird. At first most of the fans hated it, but as of now the fanbase is kinda in the denial state, throwing left and right excuses about symbolism and all.
But the truth is, it's just a filler episode, plain and simple. The single reason it exists is that production team just ran out of money and had to film something, anything that will mostly take place in a single place with as few actors on set as possible. Anything that Fly episode achives, everything it is prased for could've been done much better, in a much more engaging and entertaining way. Which is pretty much by the book definition of being mediocre.
