That water drinking was one of the funniest bits in the show's history.

That dinner scene was priceless

I wonder how much Albertson's paid for the product placement and plug.

Ricky Hitler (Todd) keeping the spider and evidence-ridden container can be added to what is becoming a long list of things that could unravel Team Yo.

Todd is obviously been made into a nut case, if not a simpleton at that, maybe even a serial madman. They could have him wanting his share of the cut and really going bat-crap crazy. I don't think we're done with him, yet.

Nice job melting down the kid. I wonder how much money the kid got for his cameo last episode of riding a dirt bike, bottling up a spider, riding off and then showing up at the end to wave and take a nose dive off the dirt bike? How much does one earn on a show like that for that gig? And was that really his arm in this episode? Does he get more money either way?

Oh, and have I mentioned: TED IS NOT DEAD!

Albertsons is as much a fixture of this show as breakfast. Skyler loves those rotisserie chickens. Personally, I think they're small, expensive, and buying them is like gambling as they don't date and time them so you have no way of knowing how fresh they are. Sam's chickens are better in every way; larger, cheaper, timestamped, and they taste better, too. I'd say Sam's makes the blue meth of rotisserie chickens.

To me she is not providing any storyline anymore, merely nuisance.

I think it just solidifies what Walt told Jesse. That the business is all he has left. Skylar is off the deep end, if he cashed out and went "clean", then his family life still has no hope for normalcy.

Just when you get tired of Walt's hardheadedness and ego, he explains the Grey Matter story and you can identify with his thinking.

Anyone else annoyed as frick by Skylar?

yeah i am, so that means the writing is just that good. They want you to hate the person who is defending her family and root for the bad guy. It's absolutely genius.

she hates him, she would bash the hell out of him and make sure his kids would hate him. She has to have some reason why all this has been going on and she won't want to blame herself. She'd move as far as possible from him and not think twice.
He knows he can't salvage his relationship with Skylar and as long as she is around he can't have a true relationship with his children. Therefore all he has is his business and he wants to be the best at it.

It does appear that in one episode Walt has gone from telling Skyler he will be loved again to realizing she really does hate his guts.

I know I always harp on these things, but again, another blunder for Team Yo could be Walt telling Skyler one story about the watch and Hank another.

I'm a stickler on these things. I always remembered what a top crime-solver once told me: "99 percent of the time it's their mouth that reveals them to us. But every once in awhile, you get the cold-blooded murderer who can cover his trail and keep his mouth shut."

If I remember correctly it was a love triangle that didn't go Walt's way.
