The look on Jesse's parents' faces as he unlocks the front door is priceless-his dad almost looks impressed. In what I can only imagine is one of the few humorous subplots this season, Jesse hires Saul to purchase the house from his 'rents at half its value, using knowledge of the meth lab to seal the deal. (Recall that the last time Jesse had dinner with his fam, he later vouched that his preppy younger brother's joint was his own and was promptly banished.) His dad compliments his sober and collected appearance, but it's not enough to earn Jesse a tour of the renovations, nor a home cooked meal. But Jesse 3.0 takes it in stride and even has a friendly chat with his dad on the lawn. He soon finds that his parents have spruced it up and put it on the fucked market. A rehab coin dangles from the rear-view mirror of his hoopty on an afternoon cruise by his home-the one his aunt left him. Speaking of Jesse, he's doing swimmingly. Walter feigns that he "can't be the bad guy" any more the line directly contrasts with Jesse's realization in the premiere that he is, in fact, the bad guy, and so is Walt. Broads from those places are more grateful, he shares.
encourages him to forget his soon-to-be ex wife and look for a woman from Thailand or the Czech Republic. Saul, frothing at the bit for Walt to restart his meth business. Soon thereafter-following Hank's convenient rescue-Walt has an impromptu meeting with Saul Goodman, Esquire back at the depressing (and ever dimly lit) room he's renting.
He looks like a blind man helplessly wandering the River Styx. "Hellfire rained down on my house! Where my children sleep!" Pepper spray then rains down on his eyeballs, and we get a close-up of Walt's arrested face.
When the cop proceeds to point to Walt's cracked windshield-caused by the airline disaster-Walt doesn't hesitate to exit his vehicle and explode on the officer.
There's no paranoia or fear on his face, just pride and anger. But here's it's the same setting, a similar situation, but a new Mr. Previously, the sound and sight of police on the highway resulted in him pulling over, and immediately contemplating the life he had chosen. When Walter is pulled over in this ep, it recalls a scene from the debut season. Recently, I revisited some of the first season, and there are parallels to the new episodes that haven't been noted or fully explored. "Get back on the horse and do what you do best." – Saul Goodman to Walter White in "Caballo Sin Nombre" The song is also thought to be about escapism via drugs (specifically heroin), and Walt is still high, albeit from the power of capitalizing on other people's. It's a great use of music because, for one, the song's lyrics famously don't make a lot of sense and yet the track creates a manly sense of importance and dignity in being lost and alone. On both occasions he's blindly visited by two threats in the clashing forms of law and chaos. The title is a direct reference to the song "A Horse with No Name," by the band America, and Walt is shown singing the lyrics at the ep's beginning and end.
By now we've also learned to pay attention to episode titles, and "Caballo Sin Nombre," or "Horse with No Name," is no different. It's not the first time Walter White has faced violent opposition, but it's the first time the severity has been emphasized using skulls, voodoo offerings, a black Mercedes, and a Ouija board. The first two episodes of the third season have, unbeknownst to him, introduced a vengeful, eerily superstitious enemy spurred by this decision. Walter White became a drug dealer to aggressively restore control over his life and the fate of his family after being diagnosed with cancer. "You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. A spoiler warning applies after the jump for the recaps and for the comments section.
