The 10th episode in Season 3 of Breaking Bad comes in after blood pumping moments and tense scenes so naturally it'll be amped up as we get closer to the end of the Season right? Wrong. "Fly" is a really curious episode. It's almost entirely self contained and takes place primarily in one location, the plot being Walt and Jesse trying to get rid of a single fly in the meth lab but it really only serves as a backdrop for a lot of dialogue and character development. As the episode got closer to the end the conversation between Walt and Jesse became more and more emotional and it was really helped by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's consistently amazing performances as the two leads.
There were some great shots and a tasteful use of symbolism with the actual fly that I really enjoyed. This episode may have been divisive when it originally aired, but I personally loved it.
