One of the things that has made Breaking Bad so much better than anything else on television since it began its run is the fact that they don't force the action and explosions unless it makes sense. Walt has tried showing up at Gus' to shoot him on his doorstep (or whatever his plan was) and tried to get Mike to switch allegiances, but gotten shut down both times. He just doesn't have a play right now.

I wish the third episode had revolved around anything other than the women, but I'd say the first two couldn't have gone any other way logically. Its kind of refreshing after watching SOA the past two weeks where there's a shootout every episode and miraculously no one ever dies.
