The Not-So-Great Mandala

"Mandala" was sort of an in-between episode for Breaking Bad. It denied a lot of things that happened before. Walt is back in, Jesse's using, no one's scared of him any more, and the whole system they set up which had been working reasonably well fell apart.

It also stopped before the double-climax--Walt's in the middle of a big sell to a major dealer and Skylar's giving birth.

The new dealer is played by Giancarlo Esposito, a fine actor who should add something to the show. But it's easy to believe he'll be a major part of what leads to those body bags in Walt's driveway.
