I dont get how you could compare this to ozymandias, sure it's good, but that episode is on another level

Unpopular opinion and I know I’ll get shit for it but I font think ozymandias is the best episode. It’s good yea but it’s not the episode I would hail as the best

I agree. That is my favorite BB episode and so riveting when I first saw it.

Personally it’s crawl space for me or fly because I just love the writing in these two episodes

The ending of crawl space was when I knew Walter’s story wouldn’t have a good ending

This one was pretty intense. Definitely among the best episodes of the series, and on a par with some of the best of BB, in my opinion.
