The Walt/Skyler fight was incredible. I was so nervous I almost jumped out of my chair.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I love the description of this episode on my onscreen guide: "Everyone tries to cope during vastly changed circumstances".
Yes, I'd say that's an accurate description of the audience this morning.
It's making me feel better to see Dean Norris all alive and whatnot.
Heh, I bet. That's twice now Hank's gotten himself shot in the head because he just HAD to stop and call Marie with good news.

I didn't know that Norris had gone to Harvard!

Me neither, Theo!

I do have to say, I found the CGI/ADR on baby Holly during the bathroom scene incredibly distracting. (Holly's audio in general has been incredibly sloppy and badly done throughout the series, but last night was the worst by far.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just reading people rhapsodising about her acting, and I was wondering when they meant.

Well, she did look really sad, but the CGI mouth was just awful.
[edit: And also, acting? She's a baby. She's a prop with facial expressions.]

Hey, some of the noises are her too, surely? She's totes Mark Wahlberg equivalent.

I'm reading people saying that Walt took Holly only to ensure an Amber alert to make sure the cops would be listening in on the absolution of Skylar call, and that he'd never intended to try and keep her for any time.
Doesn't that take away from the impact of the "Mama" scene? I thought that was why he gave her back--he'd already planned the Skylar call, though.
Thoughts?

Huh, I hadn't thought about that. I think he just took her because, well, Skyler had turned his son against him so he was going to salvage his daughter...even though he didn't have too much longer to live. Abandoning her at a fire station was actually responsible parenting.
You never know with Walt, though. I don't think he knows why he does the things he does.
