Breaking Bad

My Breaking Bad love continues unabated. I'm now caught up to the current season, and may I confess my writerly love for character-driven storytelling?

On that front, I think my favorite episode so far has been "Sunset" -- aka the "trapped in the RV" episode. It's a perfect example of how a VERY unlikely scenario can come across as plausible if it emerges from the actions of characters who would ABSOLUTELY DO THAT. Watching the three main characters react to each other's actions is like watching a string of dominoes collapse in a chain of ohgodno. And it's a wonderful payoff for the show's character development.

Not sure I can pick a favorite episode, but it might be the finale to season four. That one had everything. But the RV episode you mention is great.
