Trivia
This is a "bottle episode," an episode with limited cast and sets produced due to limited budget. The show had spent much of the budget on the building of the superlab, so a low-cost episode was needed.

Goofs
Jesse talks about a TV show on hyenas that he saw. He says the head hyena was "the Man" and how gross it was that the other pack members had to "lick his junk" to show respect. Either Jesse or the script writer didn't realize that among hyenas the females are actually dominant, including the leader of the pack. They are larger than the males and have other marked masculine physical traits due to a naturally high level of testosterone. If Walter knew that, he didn't bother to correct Jesse's mistake.

Quotes
Jesse Pinkman: Gatorade me bitch!

Incredible, and perhaps the best episode of the series yet....

I could tell that Fly was not going to be a regular BB episode. From the opening, you know that this will be bizarre. I loved it.

I thought that the writing in this episode was magnificent. It is also a nice stand-out, and it reveals a lot of Walt's hidden feelings. It reminds me of Mad Men's recent episode called 'The Suitcase' (which is also the show's finest hour) in which is only really has two characters throughout. Breaking Bad's for sure only has two actors throughout the entire episode, and both Paul and Cranston are up to the game. This is an episode many will dislike, but for me it is certainly up there. I thought no episode would perhaps equal or be better than 'Phoenix' and 'One minute', but I was wrong.
