    Don't understand why he just went and ran the commercial. I get he was worried that they wouldn't have approved it given the boring other one, but still

    Because he's rapidly unraveling and turning into...Saul Goodman

    Whatever happened to showmanship?!


    So I kind of dozed off for a bit....did someone actually shoot at Mike's daughter in law's house or was she imagining it?

    And I've always thought the paper guy driving around slowly at 4am is creepy

    I hear you and I get that, it just didn't make a ton of sense, even if he is turning into him. He does his own thing regardless of consequences and all, I get that, just no reason for him to not run it by the guy. I guess that's the point though.

    Nah, no one shot the house. She's trying to get a new place out of him and it seems like it worked, even though he knows what she's doing.

    I think there are a couple of reasons why he didn't get the approval. I think he knew it would work and by doing so, it would get praise from the legal team. He's still trying to make a name for himself and wants to show he can do that thing on his own...and doesn't need to be baby-sat by the partners or his brother. I also think Jimmy is just the kind of guy who takes shortcuts and cuts corners whenever he can. Smart guy who doesn't actually like to put in the work, the complete opposite of his brother.

    Not sure. I don't recall, but is Nacho selling anything other than prescription drugs at this point? He seems like a pretty low level dealer at this point. Not sure who he'd want to off.

    I'd think it would just be the next level guy.

    That was Crazy Eight who was talking to Tuco before Mike hit his car.
    This season keeps getting better and better.

    It's fantastic television.

    Kinda wish I didn't binge Breaking Bad so quickly now. A lot of it is a bit of a blur so I feel like I'm missing all these little references...

    Any ideas as to why Mike didnt wanna shoot Tuco?
    Notice the guy that was showing Mike the 3 sniper rifles is the same guy that sells Walter White the guns in BB.

    Yeah, I noticed the gun dealer too. I love how they bring those cast members back!

    I think Mike didn't kill him for a few reasons.
    I think Mike is still getting into this world of hired work. He hasn't ever (to my knowledge) been paid to actually kill a guy.
    I also think that he didn't do it because if it went south, or he was discovered, not only would he be jeopardy, but his family would too.
    He's a former cop. He knew that if his plan worked, that Tuco would get put away for a long time. During this time Nacho could move up and take over the "business".

    Yeah, Jonathan Banks is such an amazing actor. The guy has been in a thousand different things over the years, but in no way could I see him so something else and not think of Mike.
