Breaking Bad- An Honesty Bomb

Walter White- "Honesty is good...don't you think?"

That honesty bomb that Walter dropped on Skyler at the beginning of this season has done wonders to his personality. I loved watching him go from manic to depressive throughout this episode. Sure the depressing Walt moments aren't all that great, like being frustrated that Skyler won't let him in the bedroom so he pees in the sink. But the highest of highs are such a joy to witness, like when Skyler gets home and Walter has an ear to ear grin claiming that he's cooking dinner. Yes the meth cook was once again wearing his apron, only this time instead of drugs it was a big ole pot roast.

Walt also finally got a chance to explain himself to his wife this week. His long plea for why he started cooking in the first place was so heartfelt that I definitely would've taken the man back. "The things I've had to do, I've got to live with them." I mean come on Sky, have a heart. No instead of welcoming him back with open arms, she went to work and got her some Ted. "Honesty is good" Walt said. So the cold hearted b*tch let Walter know what she had been up to with her boss. And roll credits. Can everyone admit that Skyler is the absolute worst?

And now a word to the Albuquerque phone department. Thank you for disconnecting Jane's number. If I had to watch Jesse Pinkman call that voicemail one more time I was going to throw a fit! Why don't you take one of my favorite characters on tv and turn him into a complete waste? I get that his gf just died, but man has this dude been a buzzkill the first few eps of this season. Cutting off that cellphone was the best thing that could've happened to Jesse. Let's get down to business with some meth cookin'.

It was nice to see more development on the Gus Chiggins situation with the Cartel. Obviously they have some deal worked out with Gus controlling his area. The fact that Walt is a part of his plan is the only thing keeping the cook alive at this point, but as the Cartel boss told Gus those Two Suits aren't like the rest of them. They will do whatever they want to get revenge for their fallen cousin, Tuco. The fact that Tuco was their cousin makes the Two Suits that much sweeter. P.S. are either one of them going to say a word this entire season?

Hank's partner at the DEA, Steven Gomez, and T-time would get along really well..."We shoulda went to Chilis."

I can get rooting for Walter over, say, the cousins, who are simply forces of a dark and implacable evil that cannot be stopped (whereas Walter remains at least somewhat human), but I have trouble seeing why anyone would call Skyler "whiny." She's a woman who's just had everything she ever worked toward or hoped for yanked out from under her, and she's reacting like any of us would if we found out that our spouses were meth kingpins. Hell, she's probably acting BETTER than any of us would.

This guy has to be kidding. She is "whiny." Isn't one of the fun parts about watching tv hating on the terrible "whiny" characters? I could care less if she's acting in a better fashion than I would given the situation. What she's doing, and how she's acting, is the epitome of someone that no one would ever want to hang out with. She's lame and that's what makes her fun to watch. I can't stand her and its truly engaging.
