Looked like a transitional/set up episode this week. However I loved the music video in the beginning.
Here come the Mexicans.
What does the title translate to in English?

I just love this show. I too agree that it seems like a transitional episode. Makes we excited for next week.

The exploding head on a tortoise was pretty cool, in a sick kind of way.

I found myself feeling sorry for Walt's idiot brother in-law. He went from being the "man" to being ridiculed and left out in the cold. The exploding head thing was amazing.

It certainly sets up the Mexican cartel as the next big obstacle for Walt and Jesse.

I couldn't tell what Tortuga was besides an informant. Was he supposed to be a high-level cartel character or just a way to show what the cartel does to snitches (and a way to show that the cartel knows that the DEA is spying on it)?

I believe this whole show is based on character transitions, Walt going from a mild mannered HS teacher to "the man", his brother in law from "the man" to ??.

Was that the informants head on the tortoise?

Yes. The guy on the bed smoking the cigar ordering all the crap from the catalog, that was his head on the tortoise.

I like the addition of Jesse's neighbor, Jane. It's nice to have some eye candy on this show. Was I the only one who felt the urge to troubleshoot Jesse's TV?

The song at the beginning was great and so was the exploding head.

I was happy to see Walt sack-up and tell that kid he wasn't getting a better grade. I thought Walt was gonna cave for a minute.

Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Nitro Circus, Fantasy Factory, and Celebrity Apprentice are what make Sunday my favorite TV night.

Yes, and his name was Tortuga which is Spanish for turtle.

Nothing to troubleshoot. He didn't have a dish. ;)

Wow, I actually jumped and spilled a good portion of a can of Diet Coke all over myself when that happened. I'm not sure, but I may have been particularly startled because I had the subtitles on, and the line appeared a couple seconds before it was actually spoken, and it had dashes "--" at the end, so I had this anticipation that the speaker was going to be cut off for some reason. Not that I had enough time to think about it, but I do think that my momentary puzzlement contributed to how much that explosion startled me.

Spoiler from the following episode:
I was thinking he was way too stupid to install a satellite dish by himself, but it did eventually acquire a signal.
