Totally. As was said in this thread last season; Walt and Gus cannot co-exist.
Hmm, Gus gets killed, with the money made from the "car wash" Walt and Skyler buy Los Pollos Hermanos? :D

I don't get how some people are calling this season "slow?" There's little action, but the tension is ramping up every episode. I'm excited to see where they go with it.
Breaking Bad is my favorite show but this season can use some criticism. Walt is acting like a retard, not some genius that everyone makes him out to be. The tension that is being built is good but they need to balance that with some action every so often like in previous seasons. There hasnt been much advancement in the storyline yet this season which is odd for a series with only one season left. No need to drag it out unnecessarily. Let me reiterate that i have enjoyed this season more than anything else thats on right now.

Walt may be a 'genius' in some respects, but he lacks common sense. There are many real people who suffer from this.

My favorite scene from the first two seasons was the episode when he blew up Tuco's office with the mercury fulminate. That was another one of Walt's genius but egotistical moments. Only that one was supremely badass and didn't compromise his position.

Was the digging thing to do with repetitive actions that i've noticed speed users love so much? I've seen a lot of documentaries where they get obsessed with rifling through rubbish or cleaning.
I think they are lining Jesse up to take over Mikes role, so they can leave Walt and Jesse running the entire operation. Either that or they are trying to drive a wedge between Jesse and Walt so they can push Walt out. Of the two it seems more likely that Jesse would drop Walt. It's still bugging me that Walt told Hank; Hank might be your average retarded DEA agent, but it doesn't take a genius to think Walt has an excessive amount of money combined with being highly skilled at chemistry!

It bugs me how Jesse let's his employer's new use for him get to his head. If Gus is trying to drive a wedge between him and Walt it's definitely working so far. Just how Jesse acts around and talks to Walt shows that he feels he is more important.
Walt has been on Jesse's side, ready to help him every step of the way. I hope Jesse doesn't betray Walt. That would make me really sad.

In the end I don't think Jesse will betray Walt. He'll be tempted but it's not in his DNA to actually follow through with it... that is, if the show heads don't totally fuck up what they've been creating all along.

Best episode of the season so far?
Fucking intense scenes in this one.

^ Agreed, great episode. The tension is starting to integrate. I'm particularly liking the plot on Gus's life and Hank's tightening case.

Why did he blow up the car???
Did I miss something, or was that just another stupid decision on his part?

he is coming to terms with his impending mortality. Walt is most active when he believes his days are numbered.
For those who wanted the show to have more action and explosions, there you go:

I'm glad he at least turned around to watch the car explode, I was afraid he was going to keep his back to it and walk in slow motion as it happened, in which case I might have had to barf a little bit. 
Walt is really fucking up a lot this season. I feel the show needs more scenes which offer insight into Walt's current psyche to make it more believable that walt, being the smart guy he is, would start to make so many mistakes all of a sudden. Making that poison in Gus's lab where he uses surveillance seems like a bad idea. Also by buying his son such a flashy car, and then blowing it up rather then returning it, which at the very least should leave a large suspicious purchase for the IRS to notice, it almost seem like walt does want to be caught, perhaps to feed his ego by having his true actions known rather than the embarrassing story his family believes. I wish we weren't left to guess this mush though..
Right now Jesse is a more interesting character to me than Walt, which is different than all the previous seasons. It is interesting to see the way murdering Gale has affected his personality and corrupted his sense of morals since "nothing happens" for committing such an act. Like others have said, the show is still very entertaining, but the writing is not exactly what it used to be.

Yeah...I don't buy that. When Walt believes his days are numbered, he becomes active, sure, but the things he does all have reasons. In previous seasons, all of his actions have been thought through beforehand. This was just another impulsive, stupid, and ultimately pointless decision on his part.
Whatever. With the exception of that scene, I enjoyed this episode quite a bit.

About that car; the purchase is still on paper, and I think the cops are going to notice a blown up brand new Challenger, have a look at the VIN #, etc.
Unless of course Walt realizes what he did and made arrangements for it to be taken away and scrapped; still on paper though.

I think Saul took care of the immediate police threat (bribery, etc), but you're right, there's still official record of the purchase.

The IRS is happy most of the time as long as you pay them. I don't see it being a big deal, Walt is already selling his gambling story and if the IRS comes knocking, Walt can play it off as a "relapse" and give them their money. He also has Saul, which will help clear everything up.
I disagree with the quality of the writing decreasing, however, at least not in this episode. The first six episodes of the season were very surreal and took us way the fuck out to what the fuck land, but it is all starting to fit together. People said the same thing about last season, and then they found it to be the best (I know that some people still feel that it peaked in season 2, I'm not in that camp but I'm not going to argue with anybody that is). The scene with Jesse at the NA (or whatever the fuck it is supposed to be) meeting was intense, and as well written as any other moving scene in the series.
This episode was our first return to reality in a sense. I'm glad the action is finally starting to rise. It was rising in the first two episodes, and then Open House came along (episode 3) and kind of took some of the life out of the season. That will be the worst ever episode of Breaking Bad in my opinion. Episodes 4-6 were still great, but the plot was basically remaining stationary for a moment, allowing Jesse to settle into his new role, get Hank back on track, and show us how unstable and retarded Walt has become (notice how he now wears red, which was once Jesse's color, and his behavior lately is more what we would have expected out of Jesse at times, just pure idiocy without an ounce of professionalism, while Jesse is wearing the designated "professional gangster" color in black all season).
