Breaking Bad: Gliding Over All (2012)
Season 5, Episode 8
9/10
Friends Close...
1 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
When in doubt, and in need of a new formidable villain without likeable anti-hero characteristics, always go Neo Nazi...

While it's nice seeing Michael Bowen, the 1980's jerk-jock turned Tarantino-flick semi-regular turned into (and looking decades older as) the head of such shallow scum, without Mike around everything needed to be pushed to the limit since Mike, during the last two seasons, was basically... the limit... and now it's Walter's turn to go it alone... that is, in that limitless regard...

And while THE GODFATHER-style death-montage is a stretch on a show that constantly stretches, either way, there isn't one not-moving-briskly episode of this season...

A final season that fans can truly enjoy and adore; it gets rid of the brooding and guilt needed to build drama and tension in the prior previously, and, anyhow...

At this point, especially with that now iconic Leaves of Grass toilet-sitting finale, this is the beginning of the end... and what a ride it will be, and has been.
