Logging

TV:  Breaking Bad, 2nd episode, final season

The show is truly on fire.  It manages to both be slow and ponderous within scenes and still make major plot movements.  It felt like the number of scenes in this last episode was minuscule, with the super long Hank-Tyler scene, Walt digging for half the episode, Jesse sitting around doing nothing for all his scenes.  But the Lydia scene (holy shit awesome -- one of the best cutaway from the crime I've ever seen) and the baby scene.  What tension.  The direction and sound in this show was spot on.  The efficiency of the writing - admirable.  They are on fire.
