Wow. Episode 2 tonight was great. So intense yet hilarious with Tuco and the leg breaks. Love all the little montages they do. Brings me back to bb. Can't wait until next week.

Saul w/spoilers
- Thread starter ctdub

Not really huge spoiler, but it seemed like no one wanted to talk about what actually happened in other thread.

Yep
Loved seeng Tuco in the first episode. Didn't want to spoil it for anyone. Episode 2 was great!

Loved the throw back in episode 1 to Saul working in a Cinnabon. Last thing he said in BB was he would probably be managing a Cinnabon in Omaha if he was lucky.

What his Bros deal with no lights and cell usage? Just the craziness talking?
He was using electricity for an iron though wasn't he?

The iron he was using was not an electr iron. It was the old fashioned kind you heat on a stove or on a fire.
His illness is his paranoia concerning electricity.

I thought it was (once again) the best episode to date. The ending was predictable. I don't think Mike taking Jimmy's side or the fact that Nacho wasn't really involved were too predictable.
I love that Mike is going to be a decently big part of this show. He was my favorite character on BB.
First non-binge-watch series I've seen that leaves me eagerly awaiting the next episode like this.
The billboard plan was sheer brilliance.

I'm wondering if the brother dies or something and that releases him to "break bad". Seems like he is the only thing keeping him from going back to the scam artist he was ... or sleazy lawyer we saw in bb.

If you guys aren't following this site's breakdown of the Breaking Bad callbacks and easter eggs from each episode, you should.
Gilligan's teams are on a completely different level of detail.

You knew it was going to be too good to be true. The look of pride on that guys face when he was bringing over the money was hilarious.
The funny thing is, that scene (own printed currency) is actually based on reality.
A bunch of these "sovereign citizen" types have bonds and notes printed and attempt to purchase items with them all the time. "Sight Drafts" and "Bills of Exchange" are common ones they attempt to deploy, often these notes are printed as if they are from the US Treasury.
If you ever come into contact with any of these "cult" members, beware of any financial dealings with them. Although it differed slightly, I was certain this guy was going to offer Jimmy something other than legit currency.

Thanks for that link Mega.
I gotta be honest, I'm enjoying it, but it's not knocking my socks off by any means.
I keep waiting for something to drop to kick things in gear and wondering how long they're gonna take setting this up.
The half million cash was awesome.

I guess I'll be the dissenter here. While the moments and scenes cited in this thread have been good or even very good, the series as a whole just isn't going anywhere for me. Jimmy isn't as strong a character as Walt, the supporting cast isn't as good, I don't know.
It's not like I won't watch it, it just isn't anywhere in the same realm quality-wise as Breaking Bad. It's bound to be compared to it because of their creators, but it's not panning out to be as good in my view.

I actually think to this point in the series that its quite a bit better than Breaking Bad was at the same point in its series. And I was on here trying to get you guys to watch Breaking Bad 1/2 way through the first season.
I think in some ways it's a lot different than Breaking Bad's later years, and if you came into it kind of expecting that same pitch, you're probably more disappointed.

I though tonight was the best one so far, at least from a BB fan perspective. You never got the full details of Mike's back story or saw him crack in BB. The actor Jonathan Banks showed some major range. The scene where he set up the dirty cops from the MacGyver lock pick to the shooting was pretty great.
