I guess I didn't realize some thought this jumped the shark? I'm not sure why. I didn't think anyone's actions felt out of character, and the last couple of scenes were really well written.
Jesse and Mike's trip was pretty entertaining. I've grown to kind of love this Mike guy! But yeah, it's sad Jesse didn't actually do anything super heroic, but what a strangely ingenious idea to get things back on track in the lab.
Bryan Cranston was freakin' awesome in this episode. From his sad phone call during his perilous driving, down to his prideful drunkenness. This was actually some really good character development for Walter. Inadvertently being prideful about something he cannot talk about, and sort of soiling Hank's happiness... again! I'm most excited for THAT inevitable confrontation.
Overall, I thought this was a great episode. Some interesting drama, some good tension yet again, some actual character work for both of the leads, and some really good direction and pacing. It is probably one of the best in the season so far!
