Bit by a Dead Bee

Last Sunday's episode was great, but next Sunday's "Bit by a Dead Bee" is my favorite. When Walt is in the hospital, he is denied release until he can convince a psychotherapist he is sane. He makes a wonderful speech and really sums up the entire show. At the end of his speech, he asks "..and you ask me why I ran away?" You could replace "ran away" with "breaking bad" and replace the psychotherapist with a judge and have the closing scene of the series. Just a great scene!!! Great writing and great acting by Bryan Cranston. Watch this scene and see if you don't agree.

I remember that episode with Walt and the psychiatrist and how Walt summed up all his pent-up emotions he had been carrying around inside all these years of his life. The short speech to the psychiatrist by Walt explained his hostility to those people he believed betrayed him in some way and how it angered Walt. I still firmly believe, Walt will get revenge on those he believes betrayed him, with the exclusion of Walt Jr. and little Holly.

Just watched, bullieboi. Thanks for the heads up for us to watch for it. Indeed a pivotal, well-done scene! And it's so ironic how it started
out as a lie, but included so much of the truth of Walt's life. This show is freakin' brilliant.

Doesn't anybody remember in the first or second season Jesse hired the same (I believe) tow truck man to tow the RV to his yard. There was a dispute about money then also. It looked very much like the same scene. I don't know how Jesse will get the RV back this time, but that time he broke into the tow yard and drove it out through the fence.

Also, Walt already had a "fugue" state once before when he appeared naked somewhere (I believe it was a store then also) He was hospitalized then too and had to see a psychiatrist. The doctors kept talking about how it needed to be determined what this episode was, and how important it was that this not happen again. Nobody mentioned it already had happened once before not even his wife. She almost certainly would have mentioned this has happened before!

The scene with Skye in the bedroom and Walt with the hat. Maybe I'm delusional, but that looked familiar too. I have never seen a show that used parts from a previous episode and blended them into a current show. And, wasn't that Sgt. Sanchez from the Closer who played Tuco? If so, he's a very good actor.

I love this show. The bathtub falling through the ceiling just about took my breath away. Wow, what a scene!

Gosh saintj,

I think you are might be having a fugue state. AMC is rerunning season 2. That is why these episodes seem familiar. They are reruns. Season 3 will not start until spring 2010.
