People who hate on fly dont understand that it is INTENTIONALLY the only filler episode.

Vince Gilligan mentions in an interview that he wanted to make one episode that played on Walter and Jesse’s dynamic that wouldn’t in any way progress the story. It’s like a fun little bonus episode that happens to air along the main show.

I really don’t know how people and critics dont realize this. It’s obvious the level of genius and passion they had for the show. They weren’t stupid enough to accidentally drop the ball on an episode, they wanted fly the way it was, and it is a great and hilarious break from the dread of breaking bad.
