I love this episode is such creative way of showing character development. I know this ep was kind of slow Vee, but I guarantee you that from next episode, the rhythm of the series is not going to slow donw until the end of the show.

It is actually a filler episode, they were running above budget and had to cut back on funds.

Mitchell Bowker

Episodes like this are usually referred to as a Bottle episode, when the whole episode is primarily "bottled up" in one location with minimal actors to help reduce overall budget. Those episodes tend to delve deeper into character like in Fly.

Jaroslav Dočekal

I love how you thought this would be a sitcom episode 😀😀

The fly was an amazing actor, he actually did all of his own stunts!

MertzRocks

In sci-fi (space) shows they are referred to as "ship episodes", even "shipisodes", lol Star Trek is chock full of 'em... Firefly's "Out of Gas" is one of my favorites.

Mike Minerals

I heard his great-great-great grampa was the fly from "The Fly" in the 80s. I also hear that they only lived for about a month. Hollywood can be rough.

Jonah Bertorelli

The fact that THIS is the episode that gets spoiled by reading the description is HILARIOUS. This episode is, if anything, a nice break from the death and despair, but as you noticed by the description, a very weird and out of place episode.

Kinda sucks that you read the description here of all the episodes. Try not to do it in the future please. They are spoilers by ruining expectation. Thanks :)

This is my favorite episode of the entire series. The tension in the dialogue, the contrasting motivations exposed within Walt & Jesse, the fly representing Walt's guilt-ridden conscience.... It's so insanely well-written and the performances are top-tier.

Okay so because no one else is really diving deep, I'm gonna mention some stuff that even though this was a bottle episode, there's actually plenty of immense depth. So the fly, while comedic at first, represents something. The fly represents guilt in this episode. Both Walt and Jesse have felt guilt, but this is primarily about Walt. I know you were worried he would tell Jesse about Jane, but that wasn't the point of the scene. It was the fact that Walt actually does feel an unending amount of guilt for his choices. Letting Jane die, causing Jesse so much pain, and it even led to a horrific plane crash that killed so many more. Walt feels the weight of those things, and it all stemmed from his choice to let Jane die. So he becomes focused on the fly and it's "contaminated" the lab and he can't get it out. It's so tragic that he's trying to apologize to Jesse, but he can't fully tell him how sorry he is for what he did (or didn't do) so all he can do is a passive, but genuine "sorry" while he's drowsy and falling asleep. Walt is so guilt ridden from Jane, his "perfect moment to die" is literally that night it happened. But before he left the house, and gave the money to them, before he met her father. It's before all these events occurred that led to Walt going back to Jesse's house. The acting in this episode was really well done, especially when it got real, and you could just feel the pain from Jesse, how much he misses her, and Walt just wishing he could've faded into nothingness, rather than live with what he did. That's also why Jesse is the one that kills the fly. Walt can't kill his guilt, he has too much of it, rightfully so. But Jesse is not at fault for Jane. Both he and Jane were addicts, and with that much money, you're just asking for bad decisions to be made. Not even Jane is at fault. But Jesse is able to "kill" his guilt because he knows it's not his fault. And there was actually a fly at the end of the episode, Vicky. Walt hears the fly, then he sees it, right inside the smoke alarm light when it flashes. Because even after saying all the things he says to Jesse, even saying sorry, that doesn't remove his guilt. Walts guilt is going to haunt him, keeping him up at night. I actually love this episode because of all these passive, but present moments of peering into the minds of our characters and where they are. It's really well done.

I'm so glad you loved Fly. This is surprisingly a divisive episode for a lot of people. The entire final third of the episode is just peak Breaking Bad though. Taking something, building up tension little by little, and only releasing a little bit of that tension (killing the fly) but leaving you with the tension from the Season 2 finale. Next episode is the halfway point of the series. Once you're done with Abiquiu we're hitting my favorite portion of the series! The entire second half

This episode was directed by Rian Johnson who made Knives Out/ Glass Onion

Javier Ruiz-Leon Jr.

This episode has one of Rian Johnson's favorite moments that he worked on. That part where Walt fell was NOT Bryan Cranston. That was a stunt double who fell down. So, by keeping the camera still at that point where he is already on the floor, they switched the stunt double with Bryan, and shot the rest as seemless as possible to where you can't even tell!

Mitchell Bowker

He also directed the episode "Ozymandias" which is the best rated episode of BB, and also one of the best rated episodes of TV of all time, so...

Undoubtedly the most polorizing episode of the series. I am one of the ones who loved it though. They admittedly didn't have the budget to shoot in a bunch of locations for this episode so the creativity really comes through in the directing for this one. Maybe one of the funniest episodes while also being introspective.

Skyler's lullaby to Holly over the fly in the cold open is from Phoenix when Walt is watching the nature show about an elephant and her calf. A reminder of the innocent lives Walt's destroyed to get to where he's at now and the fly is representation of the guilt and skeletons that are following Walt's conscience. There are references to the fly throughout the whole series in the shots & in the music. One of the writers said he wanted the fly to have a "menacing presence". I believe Vince & Rian Johnson were paying homage to the 1986 Jeff Goldblum remake: 'The Fly'. You can't help but think of this episode while watching it. The fly is the reason for Seth's (the protagonist) downfall hence why Walt treats it as if it's so deadly to them. The fly is representation for the morally wrong decisions Walt's made that he can't shake free from. It wakes him up at night in the closing scene. It's to say he was or still partially is a "good man" at least enough to feel remorse. He came from a place of morals before the criminal lifestyle to a certain degree. The metal reaction vessels in the lab resemble the Telepods from the movie, the lab itself and it's high ceilings resemble it's industrial warehouse–esque set. Walt even says the fly is not Particularly dangerous to them. And "This fly is a major problem for us it will ruin our batch- we need to destroy it and every trace of it. Failing that... We're Dead". So much emphasis on the fly- as if the fly is deadly to them and not Gus. Seth is careless about the Telepod machine's safety precautions after awhile, I like to think that's reflected when Walt finally says: "it's all contaminated" aside from accepting his fate. Jesse on top of the ladder could be an analogy for some kind of moral high ground while Walt holds onto it from down below, propping it up while struggling with Jane guilt. Walt asks Jesse what are the odds that he runs into Jane's father at the bar, which was part of the catalyst for Jane's tragedy sorta like what are the odds of a fly flying into the Telepod with Seth? The fly was out of it's element like Walter in this business. It reminds me of 0210 when after Walt gets done installing the new water heater Jr burns his hand from the hot water as if even when Walt tries to do good, bad things happen. Literally the theme. Walt says: "You want them to miss you, you want their memories of you to be..." good, is what he was thinking. Seth wasn't proud of his work and didn't necessarily want his lover to see what he had turned into... Seth had a genius brain- with such a bright future ahead of him and good intentions but by mostly circumstance he turned into an unlovable, deplorable monster that would rather be dead then carry on- a lot like Walter- "Oh, if I had just lived right up to that moment... and not one second more". Jesse's opossum rant is referencing the two-sidedness of the characters and his story about the cancer spreading to his aunt's brain and changing her could also be a nod to the movie. Not to mention BB is all about Change, Metamorphosis and Assimilation.
