The M60 rig is nowhere near the top of the many lucky or ludicrous things Walt managed to do throughout the show.

Stone even admits he didn't watch the show and just happened to catch the 15 minutes or so that he's trying to tear down. So basically he's just like the legions of other idiots on the internet you've run into over the years who badmouth **** they barely know anything about.

I imagine he's feeling irrelevant (and would be correct in doing so) and wanted to see his name in the news again, so big win for him, I guess. :whatever:
 
Jeffrey Katzenberger should donate all that money to drug rehab treatment centres.

Why just so he can have the two best hit-men west of the mississippi set on him by a former disgruntled associate?

He knows how that goes.
 
No! He should do it voluntarily. Without any pressure.

Or if he doesn't want to, then just send the money and I'll make better use of it.
 
Natural Born Killers is a good movie. Oliver Stone doesn't know why he's a old *****e. God just made him that way.
 
I love that song. Maybe my favorite featured in the show, of which there have been many great ones.

i'm surprised no one's made a tribute with the gnarls barkley song featured at the end of season 1.

Not weird just made out of a consequence for budget, all bottle episodes for shows tend to stick out a bit. Some people actually consider Fly among their favorite episodes but if it weren't for seasonal budget constraints it would have probably never been made funny enough?
 
I hear "4 Days Out" was supposed to be a bottle episode too, but it wound up being one of the more expensive ones. :hehe:
 
I recently watched Fly and it actually is pretty hilarious in a slapstick sort of way. I was cracking up. It's a cooky episode, but any good show can afford to have a few of those. Being a bottle episode and all, I can enjoy it for what it is. If I had been caught up with the show when it aired, I imagine it would've been more frustrating though because of those torturous waits between episodes.
 
I think "Fly" is an episode that was needed. For one, it's a nice slow breath before **** kicks into high gear and two, I think an episode taken place almost entirely in the lab was something they would do anyway.
 
The Breaking Bad facebook page is now doing Throwback Thursday photos...it just hit me that the show is really over. :csad:
 
I never really thought of Fly as a bottle episode. I mean, I get how it is, but it never really felt that way to me. Just felt like an episode of BB that just happened to take place in a lab. Really highlighted the emotional weight that Walt was feeling with his actions in a way you hadn't seen up to that point, too.
 
I love Fly (like every Br Ba episode), but I'd say it's probably my least favorite episode.
 
Fly is a great episode, but not an enjoyable one if that makes sense. I hardly ever re-watch it, but I still think it's one of their stand-outs.

EDIT: Here's an interesting tidbit. Fly aired the same night as the LOST finale, so some reviews mention that possibly overshadowing it.

I still consider "Fly" one of the finest hours of television ever made. I was flipping out before that episode was even over the first time I watched it. I was so thrilled to be watching something that was that damn good. There was so much to dig into; the writing, what was going on thematically and metaphorically (ex: Jessie putting his neck on the line while Walt barely supports him. Am I talking about the ladder, or the show as a whole?), the Hitchcockian, focused, deliberate direction by Rian Johnson, and those actors doing career-best work. It's perfect.
 
I love when Walt almost confesses to letting Jane die. Much more important to his character, than the "tread lightly/ I'm the one who knocks" stuff people remember.
