Breaking bad season 1 episode 4 cast
Looking back, perhaps this was just as much for Saul’s benefit as it was for ours, because besides a wry line about a Cinnabon, his wisecracks at this point have largely dried up. We saw a different side to Saul in what was possibly his last scene in the series: usually, his one-liners and comic exasperation have lent Walt and Jesse’s actions an air of capering that they perhaps don’t deserve, serving to make them appear much more exciting and outlaw-like than they are, say, repugnant. Forster’s weary disposition brings an earthy gravitas to the role that feels just right: this is exactly the right kind of person to put in charge of the likes of the panicked, uneasy Saul and the headstrong, hysterical Walter, as they respectively attempt to find their way out of their impossible situations. But in slow-motion.īut before we dive headlong into the blackness, it was a very pleasant surprise to see the wonderful Robert Forster ( Jackie Brown) appear as the infamous vacuum cleaner repairman who runs a neat side line in disappearing crooks, in his persona as ‘the Extractor’. Whereas last week’s Ozymandias was a horrifying, dizzying descent into the depths of despair for Walt and his extended family, Granite State feels numb and purgatorial, as our already broken and beaten Breaking Bad gang are pummelled even further into the ground: it’s like watching someone collapse face down towards to the floor after their heart has stopped, unable to put their hands out in front of them to break the fall.
