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

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.

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.

Yeah, later you find out why he broke into the car. I was just saying how most of the episode you knew what was going to happen just because of the nature of a prequel. One of the few unknowns in the episode was the the break in, actually had to let that one play out. When he grabbed the gun tucked into the backseat, it was one of those classic Mike moments. Sneaky bastard.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.............

Yeah I literally fell asleep TWICE (both times during the same part). Towards the end when Saul was in the house and Mike was watching him. No one was talking and all you heard for like 10 minutes was music being played. I dozed off during then.

Yeah, that scene definitely dragged on a lot longer than it needed to. I still enjoyed the episode though.....Mrs. Kettleman is nuts!

I thought I saw one of the guys from Todd's Uncles gang on a wanted poster.

I gotta go back on DVR and look at that poster again....there's gotta be someone that we know on there...

I liked the scene with Mike, might have been a bit boring, but never know what to expect with Mike. I was sorta expecting Mike to have to clean up a mess after they found the money out back, Mrs Kettleman goes up stairs and grabs a gun after Mr Kettleman tells her he is taking the deal. She is crazy enough to do something like that.

I saw pointed out elsewhere the dude that was in the bathroom with Jimmy was on one of the posters.

i think something will happen and the show will explode..is like put us to sleep to suprise us

Mike sure likes apples. And I'm still liking the show. BB wasn't perfect. There were a few episodes that dragged on, too.

I think it's more exciting than 'put us to sleep' haha, I can deal with a plot build up, but I agree that something's bound to happen that's just gonna blow the show open!

I'm not worried about the show's pace. Breaking Bad was pretty slow out of the gate too. BB set the bar really high and I think we need to realize Saul is it's own thing.

agreed. gilligan built up more than enough trust with breaking bad to start this show off how ever he likes. i think it's awesome so far.

remember a week or two when people were speculating about whether chuck was faking his illness? what did you guys think about this week's episode where he was outside testing himself...then when he was inside he laughed a little bit when jimmy went into the other room then he was immediately fine and making himself some coffee. not sure i believe he is faking anything but i thought that sequence was a little odd.

Seems to me that Chuck is faking the issue, and totally forgot about it in the course of working the Case.
You just know that the HMM law firm is gonna somehow sweep this case from underneath their feet.
