Director Michelle MacLaren and cinematographer Michael Slovis shoot one of the most stylish episodes, full of unusual camera lenses, angles and extended montages. The production values are of course top notch. This episode is a dark, terrifying, and depressing ride for Jesse. Jesse has always been the heart of the show and watching him deal with the guilt of murdering a man is heartbreaking. You have to admire the great realistic, small details during the transaction.ĭespite those two great moments, what really drives Thirty Eight Snub isn’t Walt’s actions, but rather Jesse and his new found penchant for self-destruction. Remember Walt is not a professional criminal and whether he is disposing of a body or the simply buying firearms, it is always a challenge. The dialogue in this scene was reminiscent of a Tarantino film or a Elmore Leonard novel: “Some call it a moral right, I do include myself within that class … If you’re not a convicted felon, you might be best advised to bear your arms within the confines of the law.” The other unforgettable scene featured Walt purchasing a gun from Lawson.

“Do yourself a favour and learn to take yes for an answer.” -Mike Mike is a man of few words, and speaks only to avoid trouble and make his job less complicated, but when Mike speaks, his words are heard and heard loud: No one can forget Walt receiving a fist to the eye and a half a dozen kicks to the midsection from Mike the Cleaner. Thirty Eight Snub features two memorable scenes.
