wow ! just wow! We're beginning to see so much of Gus Fring in Walter White.In the beginning episodes the towel under knees scene,walt being overly- cautiousness and now the conversation in the car,hiring assassins,all the qualities of gus fring we can see walter adopting them episode by episode. I just have this crazy feeling in my stomach of how the series is going to end I think I'll scream my guts out. The best scene was walt sobbing after hugging his son it was so intense then he rings up jesse,I think his son hugging reminds him of the desert scene where he grabbed Jesse in his arms. Second best episode of the season 5 part 2! Can't wait for the next week I'm so exited!!

kingjado_92 September 2013
Waw these last two episodes are really intense..things are heating up and everyone is starting to imagine how this show will end and each ending is awesome!
Not gonna spoil anything but this episode is powerful, psychological and very dramatic and i love how Gilligan succeeded in creating tension with simply drama not just action and fighting.. acting is great as always, nice plot progression and my gut tells me that the next episode is going to be great! I mean I'm starting to feel the same tension i felt in the last few episodes of season 4!
10/10.

Rabid Dog (#5.12)
ComedyFan20106 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I am getting myself ready for the finale, the way things are going it will break my heart.
The first scene is very intense when we see Walt going into the house with the gun looking for Jesse. But he is not there. Yet that glimmer of hope that Jesse got himself together is gone very fast as we see that he did something even worse: work with Hank.
It is absolutely sad to see how Walt still defends Jesse to Skylar, how he tells Saul never to suggest killing him, he really trusts him. And Jesse who should trust Walt based on all examples brought by Hank, doesn't.
I am already sure I won't like how it will end. There is no chance for a happy end. But the show is brilliant. It is great how they were showing us the deep bonds between characters through the show that are all now broken and we see them go against each other that makes us fl all the strong emotions. Good job.

Superb dialogue makes up for a not thoroughly gripping episode
stillworkingfortheknife14 February 2014
"Rabid Dog" – as all Breaking Bad episodes with canine references in its title referring to Jesse – is the lull before the storm, preparing the audience for the final quarter of the season. Although lull is quite an understatement, considering that Jesse almost burned Walt's house down just one episode ago and the intensity is still omnipresent.
Yet for these three quarters of an hour, the immensely talented screen writing staff of the series got together to bring about a surprisingly amusing and quote-laden episode, whether it's the really good laughs (Jesse's "Yeah, Mr White is gay for me", Marie's psychiatrist's "Last week you were upset about the new parking rules", Saul's "But you got to understand, deep down he loves me") or the alarming, character-defining ones (Hank's "Pinkman gets killed, and we get it all on tape", Skyler's "We've come this far, what's one more?", Jesse's "Mr White he's the devil"). Pardon me for listing all of this, but I really noticed this episode's extraordinarily great dialogue and just wanted to bring up these moments again.
With the Whites' hotel and a closer look on the Schraders' interior decoration (Loved to see a Deadwood box on their bookshelf), there was also some wonderful set design to enjoy, while Michael Slovis's cinematography was as impressing as all his other work on the series. Thus, while it is one of the less momentous episodes of the final eight and has a couple of scenes that go on for too long, "Rabid Dog" shows other qualities of Breaking Bad more clearly and furthers the excitement for the grand finale.

Jesse on the Rampage!
g-bodyl23 February 2015
This is the twelfth episode of the fifth season of Breaking Bad. It was a fine episode, although it lacks the intensity of the previous few episodes. It is a top-notch episode though thanks to the wonderful acting and good lines of dialogue. The episode created another villain working against Walt, so some interesting scenarios are being created.
In this episode, "Rabid Dog," Walt comes back to his house to see that Jesse decided not to burn down his home. Walt sends Skylar and Walt Jr to a hotel and he sends Saul and his henchman to find Jesse. But little does Walt know that Hank found Jesse before him and Jesse has a plan to finish Walt.
Overall, this was a good episode even if its a step down from the last episode. Essentially, this episode is the calm before the storm. In that aspect, I'm excited to see what happens next.
My Grade: A-

What's one more?
caballero-195 March 2022
Nothing stops this train, the end is here.
The next episodes after this one all are catastrophic. Everything has been summed up in a Walt versus Jesse situation but it is actually Walt versus Jesse and Hank, this union is what will cause a problem that Walt won't be able to solve, this situation although similar, is not the same as it was with krazy 8, Tuco Salamanca and much less with Gustavo Fring. It's Jesse and therefore it's Hank. It is a limit that not even Walter as Heisenberg dares to cross. So when Skyler says: What's one more? (About killing Jesse) Walt and the audience are surprised by such a cold and crude proposal from Skyler, this proves once again that character development in Breaking Bad is so subtle that some of these people change in front of our eyes and we don't realize it until a scene like this one happens, Skyler's terrifying and fascinating development.
It's all set for the last and best 197 minutes of any piece of narrative fiction I've ever seen.

Psychologically Impressive
ljs37991 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
There are in fact only four more episodes of this whole series left and I can't even begin to think about what could happen. I gotta tell you, this episode is a psychologically impressive one.
This episode is mostly about Jesse and how he goes from trying to burn down Walt's house to almost turning him into the police. Hank and Jesse have teamed up to bring Walt down but its much harder than Hank would expect.
Meanwhile, everyone is hinting Walt to send Jesse for a trip to Belize, but Walt just won't do it because after everything, Jesse has never talked to the police which shows his loyalty, until Jesse threatens him.
Walt is threatened and now everything is crumbling down slowly. Will Walt really order the murder of Jesse and what is Jesse's plan to bring down Walt? I just can't wait!

This episode sees Jesse go after Walt as he learns the truth about the cigarette! Now that ye wants revenge on Walt, Hank steps in to promise that with his help they can take Walt down together!
This episode is slower but serves as an important stepping Stone for Walt and Jesse's relationship as it slowly fades away! Overall the episode reminds us how things once were and how they are now!
The episode ends with Walt desciding that he can not talk his way out of things and that he has to take action!
Acting is great again and the slow nature is perfect before everything explodes in the following episodes!

The calm before the storm
Tweekums4 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This episode opens shortly after the previous one finished; Walt arrives home and finds his house soaked in petrol; there is however no sign of Jesse. He has the house cleaned then tells his family a particularly poor lie about getting soaked when a pump malfunctioned while he was filling his car; his son calls him on it but assumes he just had a blackout at the pump. He and his family move out to a hotel and he gets Saul and his men to look for Jesse. Then we jump back to see what happened to Jesse; just as he was about to set fire to the house Hank bursts in and Jesse tells him about Walt killing a child. Hank promises that he is going to destroy Walt so Jesse goes with him. He ends up staying with Hank and Marie as he fears he would be dead the moment he got into the prison system. Marie calmly accepts the unexpected guest when Hank tells her he will help bring Walt to justice.
There may not be any real action in this episode but that doesn't mean it isn't tense; especially at the very end where Jesse very deliberately burns his bridges with Walt. The first half of the episode is lighter in tone with Walt's poor lie and moving his family to a safe house and Saul telling how they bugged the house of one of Jesse's friends but only recorded a long conversation about 'Babylon 5' . Things are more serious when we see what Jesse has been up to and Hank recruits him to be a witness. As expected the acting is top notch. Aaron Paul was great as Jesse; initially almost broken but by the end a determined man with a plan to destroy Walt; a plan I can't wait to see. I also enjoyed how Betsy Brandt has subtly changed her portrayal of Marie; initially she seemed a bit flaky but now she is a determined character; I loved the scene where she talks around the subject to her therapist. Once again I'm ending a 'Breaking Bad' review with the comment: I can't wait to see what happens next!

Rabid Dog - The calm before the storm
demon117-691-10249814 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Tension and suspense filled the air after "confessions" aired. we all wanted to know whether Jesse has been pushed completely over the edge and set fire to the house. Well he did get pushed over the edge but fortunately for Walt and his family Hank was tailing him since Saul's office. this means that even if Jesse didn't have his epiphany at the end of the last episode he might have not been able to leave. Nevertheless this tension-filled episode opened with one of the most intense scenes this season with Walt desperately searching his house with his 38 snub in his hand looking for Jesse. With Jesse not being here Walt thought that maybe Jesse had a change of heart. this not being the case again as Hank storms in and holds a gun at Jesse telling him to back down. Both Dean Norris and Aaron Paul's acting here was brilliant as usual. Aaron really knows how to play a mentally broken young man. Walt returns to his usual lying state again as he plays away the gasoline all over the house with a pump explosion. neither Skyler or Walt JR believes him. this means that Walts defences are beginning to crack which i think will have serious consequences in the last 4 episodes. my favourite line in this episode has to be Walt when he says "you,re full of colourful metaphors aren't you Saul" when Saul offers the possibility of Jesse being sent to Belize. i also loved the shot of Saul in the darkness of the car in this scene which probably is mirroring his intention for Jesse. I also liked the fatherly embrace between Walt and his son in front of the symbolic blue-sky coloured pool. Jesse is now fully with hank here by doing a evidence tape and wearing a wire to his meet with Walt. I adored the paranoid atmosphere at the end with Jesse as neither he nor we knew that the tall bald man standing near Walt was an assassin. I believe that the full push towards the end of the series started with this episodes final moments "i think i may have another job for your uncle" which will set Todd's ruthless family on Hank and Jesse which will have disastrous consequences and i can't wait. Overall this episode gets a 9 for me as the pacing was fairly slow but the beginning and end made up for it. Bring on the next episode.
Is He Smart Enough?

Warning: Spoilers
As Hank bumbles his way along, Jesse becomes more of a force. The attempted poisoning of the little boy has settled in his brain. He is set on the destruction of Walter. Hank and his partner attempt to make a confessional video, but it is short on provable facts. Walter has been masterful. But now we have enraged man who really feels he has nothing to lose. He decides to hurt Walter in a different way. Of course, we know what our chemist's highest priority is. Is that what Jesse is all about.
Mindblowing!!!!
berukteshome3 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Both of these past episodes of the final season have been amazing, and yet once again, the cast and crew of Breaking Bad delivers once again! Sam Catlin, serving as writer and director for "Rabid Dog", really captured each intense moment in each o the characters eyes. First, the scene opens up with Walt entering his home in fear with a gun that Jesse is attempting to kill him. When he later on doesn't find him, he presumes that Jesse decided not to burn his house down...False!! It turns out that as he was attempting to light the match, Hank (Walt's DEA brother in law who has had many run- ins with Jesse), enters the house and holds Jesse at gunpoint forcing him not to burn the house down. When Jesse yells that its not fair for him to get away with it, Hank tells him that they will work together diminish Walter white. Later on at Hank's house, Steve Gomez(who apparently knows of Walt's empire) joins with Hank to record Jesse's confession. Jesse somewhat feels hesitant after seeing a former picture of Walter White and somewhat reconsiders Walt's fate. They later meet at a plaza with a mic next to his chest placed by Hank who is a van listening and Gomez who is in a another van recording. Jesse suddenly freezes and notices a bald, scary looking man, mistaking for a hit-man hired by Walt, although the man was waiting for his daughter. Jesse, later on goes to a phone booth and threatens Walt to get him "where he really lives". Later on, a furious Hank yells at Jesse although Jesse later tells him he has a good plan. A confused Walt heads to his car and calls Todd, a former coworker and tells him that he might need him and his uncles for a job.

Why almost in every breaking bad episode, the conflict always about misunderstanding, thats very STUPID ..... why not built more smart conflict ?
when Walt want to meet Jesse.... and blah blah Jesse look in to the man was not who he is, Jesse once again misunderstanding ? that so STUPID ,
and why Walt can't explain to his wife more gentle in every conversation they have. what is exactly Gilliant planted in Walt character ?, just let him (Walt) be gentle in every problem he got, not emotional situation !
why always so emotional, fractious when they got every problem,
this series has made me care to every character.... and they just set this conflict in the end of the series YOU KIDDING ME

So Rabid Dog opens with Walt searching his house for Jesse, because Jesse's car is in Walt's driveway. Walt notices that Jesse's been pouring gasoline all over the house. Walt cleverly convinces Walt Jr. that the gas smell came from a malfunctioned gas pump that exploded all over him.
Walt says that the family should go to a hotel because of the smell. He's really just trying to get the family away, just in case Jesse was to return with an even bigger vengeance.
Hank convinces Jesse that he should stay at Hank's place. This is just a scheme to get Jesse to talk about Walt. Hank also convinces Jesse to wear a wire when Jesse gets Walt to talk. Hank wants to hear what Walt says.
Jesse is sent, by Hank, to confront Walt. Instead Jesse calls Walt from a pay phone and threatens him. Walt panics, and just before the episode ends, Walt calls Todd, from earlier on in the season, to give Todd's uncle another mission.
This episode is very intense and is a big lead up to the finale. Another great episode of Breaking Bad.

Life with fire
TheLittleSongbird9 July 2018
'Breaking Bad' is one of the most popular rated shows on IMDb, is one of those rarities where every season has either been very positively received or near-universally acclaimed critically and where all of my friends have said nothing but great things about.
Very few shows in recent memory had me so hooked from the very start that before the week was over the whole show had been watched, especially when for a lot of shows now airing watching one episode all the way through can be an endeavour. 'Breaking Bad' had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant and most addictive shows in many years (maybe even ever) is more than deserved in my eyes. Its weakest season is perhaps the first season, understandable as any show's first season is the one where things are still settling.
Actually everything is established remarkably from the very start, but once the writing and characterisation becomes even meatier the show reaches even higher levels.
"Rabid Dog" is another fine 'Breaking Bad' episode, it's enormously compelling and entertains and intrigues even if it is not quite one of the season's best, there are tighter and more intense episodes in the season and of 'Breaking Bad' in general.
Visually, "Rabid Dog" is both stylish and beautiful, with photography and editing that are cinematic quality and put a lot of films today to shame, where there are a lot of visually beautiful ones but also some painfully amateurish looking ones. The music always has the appropriate mood, never too intrusive, never too muted.
The writing in "Rabid Dog" is a fine example of how to have a lot of style but also to have a lot of substance. The dialogue throughout is thought-provoking and tense, while also have a darkly wicked sense of humour, tension and heart-tugging pathos. The story is texturally rich, intimate, tense and layered, with the pace of it consistently deliberate but taut.
Can't say anything bad about the acting. Bryan Cranston is phenomenal as one of the most fascinating anti-heroes, or even of any kind of character, in either film or television. Aaron Paul has never been better and Anna Gunn is affecting. The supporting cast are both intriguing and entertaining, Dean Norris is wonderful in support. The characters are compelling in their realism, likewise with their chemistry, and the episode is superbly directed.
Summing up, enormously compelling and high quality. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Lil' Yeller
Trey_Trebuchet2 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Old Yeller = Rabid Dog = Jesse
Yet another episode where things just go in the opposite direction of what I even thought was going to happen. Jesse willingly talking to Hank? And helping him take down his own partner/father figure? And is Marie really about to do something "violent"?
It amazes me that every episode just seems to allude to something that never ends up happening (or hasn't happened yet). The writers have so far done a fantastic job of subverting expectations and straying away from how this cookie is going to crumble. I'm sure it'll be a depressing ending though, as much as I hate to admit it...
This episode was excellent, and maybe ends on an even better, more nail-biting cliffhanger than the previous one. Todd frightens me. With the DEA, Todd's uncle, and Jesse and Hank coming together for what seems to be an inevitable confrontation, I'm sure heads will roll and I HATE it.
Still, this had some great tension, good dialogue (what the heck was Jesse talking about at the end of the phone call?), and predictably stellar performances. All these people need to do is sit the heck down and find common ground, but what are the odds of that happening?
Anxious as heck for the rest of this season.

Warning: Spoilers
Rabid Dog is the focal episode for the final season. Hank and Jessie join forces to stop Walter and his evil plans. Hank has Jessie's tape confession which is not enough evidence to prosecute Walter! A sit down is arranged between Walter and Jessie. Jessie is paranoid that Walter will kill him. Was there a set up at the meet? The viewer does not know? However, I believe it was just a meeting not an assassination plot. The focal point of Rabid dog is the chess match between Hank and Walter! Jessie is nothing more than a pawn. Hank who now recruits Gomez (Hank's boss) while Walter recruits the brotherhood in the battle that season five will entail. Eight out of ten stars.
Lower key
Leofwine_draca1 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A slightly lower key episode, but then they can't all be edge-of-the-seat like the last couple. It's interesting to see Jesse and Walt now opposed as antagonists and there's still strong character work and building even this late in the show. Next!
Life's A Gas
TheFearmakers24 October 2022
Long gone are those early episodes or episodes like those early episodes where Bryan Cranston gets to show some of his physical comedy and, thankfully, with all the intense drama and meltdowns happening as the show nears its conclusion, we get some of that brilliant stuff again... in particular when Walt tries covering up the fact Jesse tried burning down the house and it's very fun and Cranston's as great at humor as drama and mixing both, he's a genius...
Anyhow, as for as Jesse, this is his character-arc reaching to the flashpoint that all needs to reach here of bringing down Walter Whilte; the irony is, he's so classic, and we've followed his lies and personality traits so long, it's hard not to root for him, and not in that love-to-hate kind of way...
What's really fun is how many times Walt lies, and HOW he does it is hilarious, and it hits its peak here.
