    Maybe not a lot of Saul in the episode, but right on par with the top Breaking Bad episodes.

    Really good, solid story telling. If I had to be picky about anything, I'd say Mike's daughter over-acted the first scene at her house. But yeah, I liked it alot.

    Just a fantastic episode with stellar acting by Jonathan Banks.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Agreed. I really liked what he brought to BB in the later seasons and should be a big part of this show's success.

    Great episode. Nice to finally get the full story with Mike and what happened in Philly. I'm assuming that he will eventually take up that vet on his offer for some work....perhaps for a chicken man???

    Had to record yesterday's Mike episode, and won't get to watch til tomorrow, but SO very excited. The reviews have been awesome, and Mike is easily one of my favorite BB/Saul characters. Jonathan Banks deserves an Emmy for his acting!

    After the episode I saw a lot of people saying just give him the Emmy now, and things along that line. He nailed it. I hope this becomes part of Better Call Saul, the occasional episode focused on other characters.

    I honestly don't know how Walking Dead is the biggest show on AMC. Goes to show ratings and popularity don't add up to quality.

    Agreed, walking dead is not very good.

    Last episode was very slow. And predictable. This show needs to speed things up some.

    I thought this too, but i did appreciate the background on Mike. I do think to "compete" with its predecessor it's gonna have to start ramping up with some crazy stuff mixed in a bit. And BB was so good at mixing in cool music tracks, I hope Saul can live up to BB.

    Finally got caught up on the Mike episode, and it was just incredible and flawlessly acted as everyone has been saying!

    Does anyone else listen to the Better Call Saul podcast? I've been really enjoying it lately, gives some cool insight into the show from all different perspectives.

    You do know the show is a prequel, so for the most part we know what happens. Why Mike broke into the cop car was an unknown, but Mike baiting those cops, I think everyone knew he was just pretending to be drunk. Mike is smooth like that.

    The episode just gave a better understanding of who Mike is, since his past in BB wasn't talked about. He was an ex-cop from Philly, that's about all we knew about Mike before. Now we know how/why he headed up in ABQ.

    Yes, I know it is a prequel. To me, they made it seem as though we should have been surprised that Mike killed those cops. I like how the show was made. It definitely has the BB feel. It was just too slow.

    yeah i don't get why he broke into the car. I thought he might try and rig it so it would blow up or something. Did he take a gun?

    He planted a gun knowing that the cops would take his personal gun.
