There is no doubt that this is a controversial choice. One of the strongest sequences, incredibly well constructed and directed, in a show that contains many stunning set-pieces, the train heist is pretty masterful television. But there is no question that, in building suspense as expertly as it does, it is forced to stretch the limits of audience belief significantly. What is excellent, though, is that the episode, Dead Freight, completely revels in how over-the-top it is. The scene involves Walt, Mike, Jesse and Todd attempting to steal $300 million worth of methylamine from a train. In a planning sequence that is reminiscent of something from Ocean's Eleven, the would-be robbers plan everything out meticulously. They organise how and where best to stop the train, the method through which the carefully-weighted methylamine can be extracted, and who should be performing which role during the heist. It's a brilliant and exciting plan - but it all feels a bit Hollywood-thriller-esque. The plan is so flawlessly constructed that everything runs remarkably smoothly... For a time. Of course, as is always the case with the best laid plans of Walt and Jesse, something goes wrong. A driver stops and offers to help shift the "broken down" truck that they have laid across the rail tracks to halt the train. This cranks up the pressure on Todd and Jesse, who are transferring the methylamine from the train. But, just in the nick of time, everything works out. Brilliant tension, flawless execution, and all just a bit too convenient.
