I'm on record in this thread as putting Breaking Bad up with the greatest shows of all time, and I can't think anything I'd considered a real misstep up until tonight, but the "Say my name!" bit? Terrible. Way, way below this show.
Walt is just playing gangster. Everything he knows comes from movies like Scarface, so it's not surprising that he's acting like a cliched tough guy.

Quite a bit of this episode was sub-par for the acting and dialogue. Kind of a shame considering it was still one of the most exciting ones. I thought Mike was a little lame in this one too with respect to the dialogue, until he got shot of course.
And why does everybody in New Mexico wear a Jacket?
I would imagine they film the show in fall/winter months and while it's sunny all the time in Albuquerque temperatures can get a little cool in evenings and highs in the low teens which to the locals is cold like our -20C days are cold to us.
I found the Gus and Mike characters really intriguing. I don't think the show is better without them that's for sure.
Movie night with Walt Jr for Walt is watching Scarface - Bad guy, Pacino, dies in a blaze of glory.
Movie night with Walt Jr for Hank is watching Heat - Good guy, Pacino, kills the bad guy.
