By far one of the best episodes in the series. And I'm sure the following episodes will top it still!
Seems like this season found it's groove. It's been good, all of it, don't get me wrong, but the opening episodes, and then the past two or three, have been great.
The interrogation (not an interrogation?) at the beginning was really well acted, and Gus's hand quivering a bit in the elevator shows he isn't totally fearless, or invincible. And then the episode ends with a flashback that's quite upsetting. It leaves enough open but also explains so much about some of his choices in the show so far. I'm sure we'll get more flashbacks. I hope we do!
Hank and Walt's trip to Gus's dining establishment was surprisingly tense as well. I think this is definitely one of the best-directed episodes of the series, with a thickening plot, great performances, and great tension.
Also loved Cranston's acting in the parking lot scene. So so good. Cannot wait for the rest of this season now.
