    You’re right. I remember that now. I think I’d enjoy a second watch through.

    The only episode I’ve watched multiple times is The Fly. It has almost nothing to do with the story, but it’s a legitimately brilliant standalone art house short story.

      The Fly was definitely a polarizing episode. My biggest complaint about it was that it completely threw off the pacing of the story that season.

      If you haven’t seen it yet, I would highly recommend you check out the spin-off series Better Call Saul. I ended up enjoying it even more than Breaking Bad, although it does spend a long time setting up the pieces before everything starts falling into place.

        Funny story. The show was over budget so they had to do something cheap. ‘The Fly’ let them do a bottle episode with an existing set and no new actors.

        “Bottle episode” comes from Star Trek TOS. They once had an episode where the ship was trapped in a bottle because of budget.
