"Fly" gave us a good 40 minutes of a wider-scope look at the series and at characters Walt and Jesse.
The directing and cinematography were amazing--I particularly loved the shot when Walt shattered the ceiling light--but it wasn't in the same vein as previous episodes. A lot of shots from the series contained these Sergio Leone-style long shots, very few moving cameras and a great use of color. The directors of the series often shot the characters at eye-level or in a direct way. This one seemed to focus on unique shots (from lower angles, from behind, from the brush that Jesse was using to scrub), and some weird-ass slow motion shots with overbearing tones. Characters were shown from completely different angles and maybe with purpose, to show us we were getting a different look at them. It was cool as hell.
The final shot of the fly in the red light was ... beautiful. A great way to close the episode: just as it had opened, but changed. So Indeed "Fly" is one of the best episode of the show.
