Cylindrical surphace wouldn't cause any cuts to the body. There's a minor bulge that's visible. cuts on Walt's face is reflected and carried on to subsequent episode really well..

I'm more than impressed, maybe even 'floored' by sound design and visual palette of BB

ya cut is ok, but an oldman of 50+ falling off from that height on to a metal tank and bouncing back to the ground on his face.. with not even a crack in his spectacles..
btw, i know this sounds like nitpicking... so let me stop here and speak abt what i came to say... ya... the actions scenes were unbelievably believable...

Isn't the shot itself constructed from a long pan, then tracked on to Walter. So there you go, Plausibles. It's all done in the shot, no added effect, is there?

'Action' in BB..

The gas/chemical explosions matched by a simple strangling in the basement.

Jesse/Walt vs Tuco/Hector

Cartel violence (indelibly registered flashback and modern day vengeance). Hank/DEA-related violence as a message & extent of depravity, in particular something on a moving tortoise

(non-verbal) Brothers and their legend in general, with the 'folk' ritual 'The Searchers'-like depiction, the Mexicans, for the most part, are muted from Hector and Cousins both literally and otherwise, they are the true 'Other'. Across the border, subsumed evil on level of Javier Bardem in NCFOM. The suspension is carried, to the 'hit', where the SMS is the 'pause'. The Fring-ed detour to Hank and the encounter in the car park. The audience are put in to discomfort, with immediacy of the action..

The urgency towards end of "Breaking bad" Season 4, is in its patterns and designs, not one to one, is one to n; n to one. It's not draughts, it's Chess. Jesse vs Walt.. (these cuts are carried over, plausibly, to the subsequent episodes)

Mike's action sequence(s), you'll find out, is very much staged like a late 60's/early 70's Boorman/Yates flick.

Above all, Heisenberg as a dark mythic figure, in all-Blacks, in the 'Western' territory. The baren landscape of Alburquque, as Pasolini would typify & countless other Westerns had explore, is no more deserted than one's house, or solititude of one's own soul. The numerous possibilities of endless space, where they're attired to not mask, but reveal their demoned soul. WW has already crossed with Fring (who again 'reveals' himself, the real him), Mike nearly crashes on to him this season.. The Truel scenario hasn't yet assumed itself, because Jesse is made to crawl, crouch, kneel and protect WW, who will be gradually unawared of this.

the crawling ritual scenes, though were made seriously, i could not stop thinkin of 'thedinen vandhadhu' as i already did mention... unintentionally funny for me... apart from that, i never felt rooted for them as i am not very convinced with what brought them into the story essentially... jus that tuco mentions, 'my cousins are on the way'... how is that important for them to take revenge on the ones who directly/indirectly killed tuco... what tuco means to them... etc., or maybe i could not get the insight of their characters... i am just speakin from how it works for me...

and the tortoise episode...
was that tortoise bomb arranged targetting hank? if not, who?
and the twins are associated/? with the other tortoise-gifting-guy who was later killed by gus's men?

As for twins avenging Tuco's death, idhu enna kelvi?

Perusu (Hector) thaanE ellarayum valakkuraaru.. Perusu'ku odambu nalla irukkum bOdhu, Cartel'la periya thagudhi ullavar.. Caporegime, not Consiglieri, isn't this also clearly established in the flashback. Hector does what the Don wants to do. He does not advice the Don. Illaina Fring Hector-a uttu vechu iruppaara..

I'd any way suggest you to finish the 4th season and catch up with us, before you read the detailed synopsis.

[SoftSword]

andha turtle head episode mattum konjam kolappamaave irunch... i was thinkin on the lines of hank killed tuco, so it was a trick to shift him to el paso etc etc., so totally screwed it up... thanks... and wat a link that was..

Dead Freight

wow just wow..best show of this season..nothing really stops this Walt train.. Lydia interrogation was nicely done and Mike's one liners were

sample this

Everyone sounds like Meryl Streep with a gun to their head.

and Lydia's gall to ask for a percentage

I knew something was amiss about this Todd guy..first he broke Mike's no q's rule and this final act to follow it up..suffice to say Walt has found a replacement for Mike-the enforcer in him..donno what gives with all those close up shots of Holly

Mike's action sequence(s), you'll find out, is very much staged like a late 60's/early 70's Boorman/Yates flick.

its all spaghetti western in this episode.

There might have some scenes i have missed. Show me this variety elsewhere. And use of clever methods ricin in a cigarette, pipe bomb and lily of the valley.
