Review of Blood Money

Breaking Bad: Blood Money (2013)
Season 5, Episode 9
10/10
The End Begins...
12 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This much anticipated episode got my heart beating again, like nearly every Breaking Bad episode. It definitely lived up to my expectations, if not surpassed them.

The intro already got me so hooked and the shot of the wall in his house where somebody had written in graffiti: 'Heisenberg', got me thinking about so many things at one time.

Jesse seems to be depressed once again and did suspect something about Mike. He does not yet fully believe nothing happened to him and he also suspects Walt (or should I say Heisenberg).

It seems as if Walt's world is crumbling down around him. When vomiting in the same toilet where Hanks realization took place, he notices his Walt Whitman book was gone. He does not think much of it yet but gets him thinking. When he finds the GPS tracker on his car, that's when the classic Breaking Bad suspense kicked in and I got really scared.

Finally the confrontation between Walt and Hank. I had not fully anticipated this scene to take place in the first episode, but nevertheless I'm glad it did because it got me hanging on the edge of my seat, almost swallowing a pillow, literally. And the final quote: "Tread Lightly"! Genius! Awesome episode! 10/10
