i think it's a wee bit of a problem that mike steals every single episode that he's in...you know, since it's called Better Call SAUL. but the format still works

Jimmy/Saul can still be the centerpiece of the show. The nucleus in which all other characters and storylines revolve around. In Seinfeld, didn't George and Kramer steal every scene that they were in with Jerry?

To be honest, I don't know how long I would have lasted with BCS if they continued down the law firm/attorney/space blanket angles without moving the story forward to Mike, Salamanca, Tuco, etc...

I'm enjoying the show for sure, but right now I feel like we are paying our dues until the story really gets going. (of course this is laying the groundwork for the rest of the show so I'm OK with this)

eeeeehhhhh it's different, i think. but i see where you're going. i don't have problems with an ensemble approach. but there needs to be more intergration - like seinfeld. and i expect that there will be.

The story lines are definitely moving at different paces, which shouldn't be a problem, but for 45 minute episode, where all the action at the particular time revolves around Mike and Wexler, why are we spending close to a third of the air time to Jimmy being bored and restless or his special mug still not fitting into the Mercedes Cup holder.

So the changes Jimmy made to those documents... Was that just to make HHM look bad or was there something more significant to it?

Also thinking we may see the infamous wheelchair/bell by the end of the season.

That'd be my guess. Her argument was that the personal attention she could give to the bank would make her as a solo practitioner a better option than a big bureaucratic out of touch firm.

The address on the documents is that of the construction site of a new Mesa Verde branch.

still enjoying the show, bit of a slower episode this week, but thats ok. last two episodes of the season should be interesting.

Chuck McGill is one of TV's biggest villains. Just pure spite motivates him, to the point he hurts himself to get to his brother. Sinister.

And I'm fulling expecting this to blow up in Jimmy's face again.

For sure, she's going to find out that he did that and end their pseudo working together situation

the episode was good. the closure was bad.

a note on a window and a tape recorder aren't exactly the most tantalizing cliffhangers i've ever seen. if you're going to leave us like that, at least go big. it was very unsatisfying, even though i enjoyed all 60 minutes.

I thought it was fine.

Possible season 3 spoilers

I kind of have similar feelings. I think I liked pretty much every episode individually, but stepping back and looking at the big picture, I'm not sure things move very far overall this season...
It almost feels like season 2 was just a set-up for season 3.

it's funny how they completely bailed on the season 1 finale. it was so pointless.

I need to watch this tonight on the DVR... will go in with tempered expectations, but I've enjoyed things so far.

Quality episode, quality season, but not all that exciting just yet.

Spoilers regarding the note for Mike...
Regarding the viewing format of the show...it sucks. 10 episodes and then 10 months off works for a show like Thrones where bonkers stuff happens every other episode and the scope is so wide. It doesn't work nearly as well for BCS.

Pretty much agree with the sentiment in here... I enjoyed the episode, as I did the others... but yeah... ending of both threads was less than satisfying.

Just finished watching a bit ago. Agree with everyone. Enjoyed the episode but kind of meh for a season finale.

Someone refresh my memory: In a couple of the black and white flash forwards where we see him as "Gene" in Omaha, he's always looking over his shoulder and gets paranoid that someone's coming for him. But it's always these big, hitmen looking guys. Who else would be coming after Saul, besides the Feds? I just thought he needed the new identity because of his involvement with Walt.

Ohhhh sh*t. Forgot that Saul started back up. I'll have to catch up.

I didn't know until literally the day it started two mondays ago. Saw almost zero promotion.

I watched the first episode... to answer your question, maybe it's Walt? I mean he got spooked by the Albuquerque mirror hang thing, so it has something to do with his breaking bad days. It might be during the time that Walt is in Vermont or battling with the Nazis, because Saul leaves before Walt does. Maybe he doesn't know Walt is dead? I dunno... just spitballing.

Terrific show.

Neelix!

Kim Wexler listens to Stereolab. As if I didn't already have a crush on her.
