Well it's back on Sunday (and Monday). I'm pumped. I looked at the episode titles and episodes 6 and 10 definitely stick out. |

Solid opener last night. Not as slow as some of the other season premieres.
He's now full Saul Goodman. Some of the previews for upcoming episodes look great. I'm excited. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

Man, the back to back nights was a great way to start the season. Saul/Jimmy has pretty much lost all self-awareness and you can see that Kim recognizes that as a problem. It seems like she's the one that's going to pay for it.
Gene "taking care of it himself" is going to be interesting. I heard somewhere - I think Vince Gilligan himself - that the flash forward scenes are only going to be for the season opener. I hope we see more of that soon.
Poor Kaylee. She just wanted to know more about her dad and grandpa Mike lost his s***. I guess the grief and guilt of matter couple with Werner just was too much for him and he blew up. |

Yeah, that was powerful stuff with Mike. It helps that Jonathan Banks looks so frail these days, making the scene even more authentic. Mike is just a broken man at this point. He can't even show affection to his granddaughter.
I like the short cameo by Howard. Saul just dismisses him. Was that scene a fake "oner"? Great stuff by Odenkirk.
Interested to see what happens to Nacho. My only complaint about the episode is how he went into that building, got that stuff, and no one noticed him. I don't expect that stuff from a show like this. But it served the purpose of proving himself to Lalo Salamanca. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

That was kind of tough to watch....thought Mike would have tried to fix it before mom came home considering how nuts he is over his granddaughter. |

Nacho got his hooks into Saul AGAIN. What does he want from him? I've forgotten what he had over Saul. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It was in the first or second episode when Jimmy got those skateboard kids to scam Tuco's grandma. They blamed Jimmy and he came to get them off the hook. I believe Nacho was involved through Tuco. Then Nacho was going to rob the Kettlemans and got set up for it. So he made Jimmy prove he was innocent. |

I tried to to get into Saul during the first season but I never could get interested. I think I saw the first 6 or so episodes to give the old college try but just didn't click for me. |

I'm assuming you got the the Mike flashback episode? I'd say if that didn't hook you then I don't think anything will. But if you haven't seen that episode then you need to. It's one of the best for BCS or BB. |

If you ever saw the HBO show Rome, she was on that. |

Something I have feared from the beginning is that, once he completes the transformation to Saul, he will no longer be as interesting, relative to the other characters like Mike, Nacho, Gus, and even Kim. To me, the transformation was compelling, not the potential of seeing actual Saul Goodman in episode after episode. And I somewhat felt that in the last episode, even though it was still a good one. The stuff surrounding Nacho and Gus was more interesting than Saul stuck in an elevator negotiating plea deals. In Breaking Bad, we got a limited dose of Saul, which was effective. Now we will see him all the time and I'm not particularly looking forward to that. It can get tiring. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

I can see that. It will all come down to his interactions and who they are with. Part of what made the early seasons great was not just Jimmy's transformation, but the characters around it that influenced it. As long as they keep that in the formula it should continue its excellence. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I did not like the first few episodes as much as most...but I really enjoy the show now that I see how it came together. |

Wasn't it all postcards of places that were hanging there? I thought the one Mike wanted taken down was of the Sydney Opera House.
I'm sure there's a story behind it, but not that has been explained to us yet (I think). With this group of writers, I'd be shocked if we don't learn about it at some point soon. |

Ripped through Season 4 in two days (yes, I have no life, lol)
Dug it immensely, just wish it wouldn't be so long to wait for Season 5. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

One of those great details that I loved about that episode. Another thing I got a kick out of was when Kim was on the balcony at the beginning of the episode and Jimmy brings her another beer, he puts the empty bottle on the railing where it sits precariously and you can see that it just totally bugs Kim. Which makes the scene at the end when they start chucking bottles of beer into the parking lot even better. It's that kind of subtle an d detailed storytelling that makes me love BCS. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
