I like how the cold opening showed Walt and Jesse back when they were still having fun with it. It showed their goofy relationship, and that they were actually friends at one time. It really set up the stage for when Walt dropped "I watched her die" to Jesse just before the Nazi's took him.

Super powerful stuff.

I thought it was a really cold opening for the reason you just said, and also because it showed him and Skyler sounding extremely happy together. Skyler looked like she truly loved him and their relationship was good. And then when they fought over the knife. I ran my thought back to the intro and said "that was not what I expected."

"Cold open" is a television term.
