Crawl Space >> Ozymandias- Breaking Bad

[gluvnast]

I know the Ozymandias episode has been praised as one the greatest episode in the series and some may argue one of the GOAT of all television, but I always found that episode severely overrated. I get the parallels to episode one and how things finally came full circle, but still didn't find it as brilliant as Crawl Space.

The Crawl Space episode stuck with me like no other episode of Breaking Bad had. The actually witnessing of the spirit of Walter White firmly leaving out his body in the end and how everything related just came together and the acting was just jaw dropping that I always felt that was the greatest episode in the series.

In a lot of ways that was the episode where he really lost his mind and became Hisenberg first and Walter second.

Also that was the episode I began to really hate Skylar.....

Yeah he was selling drugs but she didn't need to do him like that

Top 5 episode for sure , and up to that point prob the best. I think on first watch through the fact everything came to in one episode is why Ozymedias is considered goat.

Explain?

Gus's half-measures in the desert, Walt buying that time to save Hank, reaching out to dude to change his identity and was unable to.

Whereas the Nazi-crew pulled no half-measures in the desert, Walt unable to save Hank's life, and ended up able to get dude to get his identity change. It's like everything that didn't happened in Crawl Space, happened in Ozymandias.

The ending of Crawl Space was unlike anything i felt watching a TV show
it was psychologically brilliant
