I thought this episode was excellent, maybe not quite as good as the one before it, but still dang good.
I suppose at the end of the day, it does feel like a set-up episode for the finale (which I haven't seen), but that's not to say it isn't still excellent. The scene between Jesse and Walter in Walter's house was tense and really well done. It's kind of amazing that either of them are still alive at this point. There were several moments one or the other should not have lived through.
Amazing that the tension held up here so well up to the Jesse and Walt finally finding common ground again, in second-to-last episode in the season! Aaron Paul is awesome. You can feel Jesse's conflict throughout that whole scene, and Bryan Cranston's Walter seems to be actually losing his mind now. I'm scared to see what becomes of him in the finale and the next season.
I haven't mentioned this in my other reviews, but it's amazing how well everything connects to the previous seasons, to plots and characters you didn't think mattered. Also, Giancarlo is phenomenal. Great villain, great character, horrible person.
Excellent.
