[Premium Access] Breaking Bad - 3x10 Fly - Group reaction

Hi anyone who watches this 7mo later like me! The fly is Walt's guilt.

Curtis

You know when I first saw this episode I hated it, when I rewatched it I thought it was very interesting, but now seeing these clips and reactions, while not as good as others imo I think this is one of the best episodes of the series.

Lilianne Brehme

This is the best episode of the series.

Bale

Yeah most people with ADD tendicies feel the same way. I really like it.

Diesel

I'd rather think the fly represents the "contamination" in Walt's life, due to the decisions he's made. This idea is reinforced by his admissions and mumblings near the end of the episode -- especially the line "it's all contaminated". Walt's life is contaminated.

Rafael Benedicto

This is one of those episodes where after watching them I jumped straight to googling what the hell happened, like with Bojack's underwater episode. Good stuff

ElectricAnt

It's a filler episode because they had no money left to use for the season. My feeling about the fly is that it's Walt's conscience nagging him, not leaving him alone, driving him mad, and then it dies.

Tony

I clapped, I clapped when I saw it!

Cpt Falco

Rian Johnson directing a divisive episode amongst fans... no that can't be. Thought it was ok first time watching but has grown on me since

Jay

I was dreading this episode lol

Andrea C.

I got one coming soon for ya. I’m sure you all have an idea when. Also here soon we will be having some extra BB content that’s not reaction related but will be super fun! Thank you for your continuous support and loyalty fam! Means the world to us. - Nahid

The Normies

we need a double drop, this isn’t even like a real episode

This episode continues Walt's gnawing sense of dread and guilt over his actions and how they hurt the people he cares about. On the superficial level, yeah, it's a filler about catching a fly. It's really Walt's disturbingly facile way to distract himself and suppress the evil brewing in his psyche. It's why he says he is sorry to Jesse, whatever goodness Walt has, Walt is more easily learning to dismiss.

Episode is super trash to me. I always skip it on rewatch

Ellis hayes

To me the Fly represented Jesse stealing the crystal. Walt knew something was off but he couldn't put his finger on it, it was bugging him like a fly you can't kill. Jesse ends up not getting caught, thus he's the one who kills the fly.

These two are obviously the heart of the show. Their dynamic is incredible I really enjoy them together. I don’t know how people couldn’t like this one. Plus the two of them are such amazing actors and friends and it shows.

Zach Sharpe

This episode is directed by Rian Johnson, director of Last Jedi (and Looper & Brick). He also directs one of the other all-time great episodes Ozymandias

autumn

...And, it's a bottle episode. I wasn't crazy about it most of the way through (when I first saw it) but the rising tension at the end saved it.

Kelly Parks

Directed by Rian Johnson of Brick, Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and 2 other much better episodes of BB... before the world turned against him because of The Last Jedi.

i love this episode. It may be a simple episode but there's something about it.

PhantomZero

For the record I'm on the love it side of the split.

Henry Chitham-Mosley

Just realized this episode basically sets the tone for all of Better Call Saul, where the plot stakes are really low (catching a fly, standing on a tall ladder) but the emotional/character stakes are through the roof

autumn

I love this episode.....the writers can make any situation tense AF

MICHAEL THOMPKINS

You know a show is amazing when two guys hunting a housefly can be this intense.

olof

Definitely liked it.

ScarlettMi

Oh no, this episode D:

SinancoTheBest

Favorite reaction team right now. Right before HxH.

fdEA

Friends is good

Matthew

Yay finally! My favourite of the series. :)

Love it!

Zach Sharpe

Critics love this episode and rank it very high, fans tend to be split. I've found that on rewatch it gets better and better. I like the idea of the show taking a breath to do a character study on Walt (mainly) and Jesse.

Jarrod Wild

i dont hate it but for me is the worst in the show

Jjj.

Nothing but love.
