Breaking Bad Post-Mortem: “Madrigal”


Hey, kittens! What did you think of last night’s episode? Have you read all the recaps? Are you ready to dissect the episode with your fellow Crassholes? Hit the jump then! The rest of you be warned: there be spoilers ahead. Argh!

Here is a (by no means exhaustive) list of recaps:

Essential reading always: AV Club’s recap.

Slate has a recap more focused on Walt and one more focused on Mike.

Check out HitFix’s recap.

Here is Vulture’s recap.

Here is TVLine’s recap.

Last but not least, EW’s recap is definitely worth a read.

Please give us some links in the comments! The amount of written material on these shows is vast, and sharing is caring.

As was fairly clear, and many of the recaps point out, we’re going to get to know Mike a bit better during this final season. There’s the reference to his past as a policeman who left the Philadelphia Police Department “dramatically,” and much of the episode focused on the events that took Mike from the point of refusing Walt’s business proposition to finally accepting it. What are your thoughts? Discuss!

Finally, you might want to check out the Inside Episode 502 feature on AMC’s website. There’s a ‘making-of’ video as well as a sneak peek of Episode 503, “Hazard Play.”
