Excellent!

After all, how could an episode that starts with Roundabout by YES in background while that unhinged pinball machine inside Walter's mind is running on high gear, powered with Chronic Supernova mixed with some other "stuff" be anything but excellent?!

By Walter's own word, in this story nothing is what it seems. Besides, its filled with lots of funny moments, emotions, references and foreshadowing.

Even Gene The Cow gives one her best performances!

Someone has completely missed the whole point of this writing/acting exercise and defaulted to label it a filler or, more simplistically a musical. I, for one, am not a fan of the musical genre but in this case even those parts are absolutely enjoyable. And one must be able to read in between the lines before reductively call this a filler episode. Its far from being either.

The final scene is a *WHAM* one too.

BRAVO!
