lets talk about the "fly" episode. Why did the internet hate this episode so much? I love it.

because the fans of this shitty show require some kind of cliffhanger or twist in every episode to keep their inexplicably small heads entertained.
>>

Fly and Better Call Saul (series, not BB episode) are pleb filter telekino.
>>
>>70464559

it, wasn't my favorite ep. but I don't recall it being that bad either
>>
Because a majority of the autists online are quite literally incapable of forming their own opinions
>>
no gratuitous amounts of blood, no spousal abuse, no montages, no explosions, fring no spook or nothing
>>
>>70464559
It is actually my favourite episode of that show.
Just how well the tension builds, you feel the claustrophobia and the anger rising throughout the whole thing.
>>
>>70465306
walt and jesse were apart for awhile in the show and that plot was a reconnection for the two of them

>we're doing a bottle episode
>>
>>70464559
Wow really? I watched the show late so I missed all the hype and episode discussion but the fly was one of my favorite episodes for ist slow burning methodical tension and exploration into the character of Walt
>>
>>70464559

It's literally filler but it was well done.
>>
>>70464559
it's a perfectly fine episode if you're starting the show now. It was only hated because we were having to wait weeks for episodes.
>>
Obvious filler.

I marathoned the series so it was annoying more than anything. Also i think it didnt explore walters character as well as some people say
>>
>>70465384
It's also the funniest episode.

What's wrong with BCS?

Anything excuse for more Mike.

Actually, it should have just been Mike, not Saul, who got his own spin off. Saul could still have had his arc, but it could have taken a back seat like Mikes has done.

Too symbolic for the normies.

>>70464559
Nothing happened.

>>70464559
Painfully obvious that they were saving budget for other episodes. The series was slow enough anyways, and this was even worse.
>>
But Fly is considered one of the best episodes.
>>
>>70464559
It didn't make sense at all. I always skip this ep during re watches
>>
Well done filler and an exercise in tension building. Television series nowadays are so brain dead when someone uses a plot device other than sex, violence or deus ex machina it's hailed as revolutionary
>>
>>70465461
>important character development and exploration of relationships is "filler"
>>
>>70467142
Not anon, but is Walt or Jessie's characters even that interesting half the time? Actions/choices define characters, and most of the time there felt like there was only 3-4 really big actions/choices per season
>>
>>70464559
This was one of my favorite episodes. I loved the perfect moment to die speech. I guess I'm one of the few truly intelligent people in the world.

I like BCS enough, but the second season felt a lot like backtracking and stalling. Season 1 ends perfectly with Jimmy saying "screw it" to trying to live up to Chucks expectations, and then to have him just say "lol nevermind" immediately afterward for a whole season feels like they were trying to undo that. I appreciate the slow pace, but honestly the pacing is so slow is that you could've easily condensed the second season to half or three quarters of the length and come up with a much more satisfying, impactful ending.

It doesn't help I was watching season 2 right as I started The Sopranos for the first time. That show sets an impossibly high bar.
>>
>>70464559
Wait I thought everyone loved Fly and /tv/ hated it to be contrarian.

Like pretty much everything and anything /tv/ does like is lolxdpurekinoxd

This. What the fuck are you on about OP? I've seen nothing but praise for it.

It's the opposite. Every time I see Fly mentioned on /tv/ it's called the pleb filter of the series. Meanwhile, pic related.
>>
>>70464559
this is the episode that people liked, and no one hated, just didn't understand.

LET THIS MEME RECOMMENCE!

>What's wrong with BCS?

That's not what he said, but a lot of BrBa fans have been disappointed with BCS for being too laborious and not enough PLOT

And there's also dingleberries like you who want the show to have more Mike than necessary
>>
it was a bottle episode
and it was boring
why don't we watch him struggle through not having toilet paper after a steamy shit for 1 hour? that would explore his character too.
there are more fun ways to do that. trying to catch a fly wasn't one of them.
>>
>>70464559

Aired the same time as the LOST finale and retards assumed it was filler for that reason. And I recall a lot of disappointment over the fact Walt didn't actually reveal the truth about Jane
>>
I had no clue people didn't like that one. It's probably my favorite. Me and my wife absolutely loved it. I don't understand what's not to like about it.
>>
>>70470429

What does your wife's son think?

>>70464559
what was the actual point of the episode though in relation to the show/character development
I barely remember this show
>>
>>70467216
Actions don't define characters. Based on actions, Walt is some supreme badass when he isn't at all.
>>
the first half of the ep is filler bullshit but once it starts to get into Walt and Jesse's relationship it becomes 10/10
>>
>>70470478
>>70470685

Yeah, I thought it as I was typing it too lol
>>
>>70464559
I liked it, breaking bad moves so fast having an episode where everything kinda stands still is nice. just take a breather and see where walt and jesse's heads are at.

that being said, it was just a good episode, not a 5deep6u masterpiece.
>>
>>70464559
because AMC required a new episode of Breaking Bad to air at the same time as the L O S T series finale. they knew everyone would be watching lost so they made a filler episode.
