Trivia
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman) revealed that in the scene where Tuco Salamanca throws Jesse through the screen door of his house, he actually hit his head so hard that he got a concussion. Raymond Cruz (who plays Tuco) didn't realize this and carried on throwing him to the ground and hitting him in the ribs and face, mistaking his genuine pleas to stop for scripted acting. The take made the final cut.

Goofs
Hank ask Jesse's mother about his car, an '89 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The Monte Carlo stopped production in 1988 and resumed again in 1993. Also, the mirrors are pushed back on the door, indicating it's an '83-'85 Monte Carlo.

Quotes

Tuco Salamanca: TELL ME WHAT YOU DID!
Walter White: We tried to poison you. We tried to poison you because you are an insane, degenerate piece of filth and you deserve to die.

Fantastic Episode!

The second episode in the second season of Breaking Bad is fantastic and I'm loving how the show keeps living up to it's hype. This episode expands on the cliffhanger the first episode gave us, and now the season begins to set it's wheels in motion. The acting couldn't have been better and I loved the dialogue between Cranston, Paul, and Cruz while they were sitting around at Tuco uncle's house.

In this episode, "Grilled," Walt and Jesse have been kidnapped by Tuco and they are hiding out at his uncle's house. Meanwhile, a worried Skylar begins handing out posters of the missing Walt and Hank begins to look for his brother-in-law.

Overall, such a fantastic episode, especially the final fifteen minutes when there are lots of guns ablazing. It's no aberration when I say Breaking Bad is the greatest TV series of all time, especially after watching this very tense episode. I rate this episode 10/10.
