The beginning of the end, the first episode of the last 16 starts out with a flash-forward to Walt's 52nd birthday. Many questions arise as we see Walt buy an M60 from the gun dealer(Same one who appeared in Thirty- Eight Snub last season).
After that, they immediately start where they left off. Walt, feeling like the king after his long victorious battle against Gus Fring, has to take care of the evidence left behind from the massive destruction.
The premiere sets up and informs us of many of the characters state of mind. Most notably, there is Walt, his ego continues to build now that he managed to defeat Gus, and because of the amazing character development, it doesn't feel strange at all when we see him act like he never has before in the show. It does however, feel scary as Skyler says.
Skyler, now aware of what her husband is truly capable of, is scared. She too has to deal with the aftermath of her own actions, as Ted has woken up from the coma. Ironically, Ted is scared of Skyler and tells her that he won't say a word about what's happened. Big props to Anna Gunn, who is truly showing off her acting chops in this episode.
Jesse is in the most stable state of any of the characters, now that Brock is alive and there's no immediate danger looming over his and his partners head. He still has to worry about the evidence left behind, but he trusts that Walt will be able to get them out of the situation, and he even vouches for Walt when Mike confronts them. If only he knew what Walt did to get them out of their previous situation.
The episode ends with Walt forgiving Skyler for her dealings(both business and personal) with Ted, however, I don't think he has forgiven Ted.
Great start to the season, when people said that no villain would ever top Gustavo Fring, all I say is take a look. You got your villain right here, and his name is Walter Hartwell White.
"Heisenberg"
7.5/10.
