Nowhere in the series does Walter look more alone, more trapped and isolated, than in this shot. Technically it looks marvelous, right down to the slight camera-shake which seems to shake in tandem with the music and relates the emotionally fragile state of Walter. Besides the obvious visual strength of the shot it also works so perfectly as an end to the middle act of the season and introduce the final act. Walter is now trapped, with no way of escape left to him. He is cornered and has no choice but to fight for his survival.

Since my birthday comes but once a year, I will take advantage of this opportunity to plug my Etsy Shop, denalynn2001. You will not find anything Breaking Bad-related there, but you will find lots of out-of-print books and a few other vintage treasures. 

Right now I am in the middle of a 9-day sale, offering 33.3% off on every damn thing in the shop. This means you can buy a vintage paperback book for less than $1 or a working 14k gold slot machine pendant for under $300. 

Now, back to our usual programming.

Have you heard of people being turned off by how full-on the first two episodes are?

What I love about Breaking Bad is that it's pungent. It's got a specific taste to it, and you have to have an adult sensibility to appreciate it, and not to disparage anybody who doesn't like the show, but Oprah (Winfrey) told me, she said, 'I just couldn't take the acid bath. The guts and the blood... Argh!' Whereas her friend Gayle (King - Editor-At-Large for O and co-anchor of CBS This Morning) was like, 'Oh, I loved that!' So she's on the path, whereas Oprah's like, 'I c... c... can't.'
