And the weirdest thing is that I’m pretty sure the cast is never in the same room together (which is pretty standard VA practice), but there’s still a palpable chemistry between them. I guess it speaks to the strength of the characters Reed/Thompson were able to create and the legs they have. 

Really?!?  ‘cause that’s how!

Here’s the actual trailer that Matt just couldn’t be fucked to post

Unhelpfulness pays the same and requires less effort.

I like how Breaking Bad has an episode called Better Call Saul where we first see the character of Saul in that series, and now Better Call Saul has an episode called Breaking Bad where we first see the characters of Walter and Jesse in that series. To quote George Lucas, "It's like poetry, it rhymes."

The poem, to clarify. He mentions not wanting people to find them buried in the desert in a thousand years or something similar, which is exactly what happens to the Ozymandias statue in the poem.

I guess this writer (understandably) never watched Big Bang Theory. The cancer mark was the comic shop guy.

This is the greatest gif, ever.

Whoa whoa whoa- since when has Aaron Paul’s acting skills been, “much aligned”?

There is a lot to unpack with how amazing the episode was but it must be said... the editing was on fire this episode!  The transitions from past to present especially the one with the shallow grave was some of the best editing in either series.  Bravo editor!

Also Walt. “We’re done when I say we’re done.” Walt then tried to intimidate Saul the last time they saw each other in Ed the Vacuum Guy’s shop, “It’s over when I say it’s over...” *intense coughing fit*  Saul: “It’s over.” 

I think it works from Jimmy’s perspective, though. He was so rattled that someone made him, that this guy seemed like a creepy, intimidating, scary figure to him. Once Jimmy decided to handle it himself, he realized this guy isn’t scary at all because if he wanted to turn him in or blackmail Jimmy, he would’ve done so…

Same. And I think part of the thrilling aspect is that this is the first real episode that takes place past the events of both BCS and BB. We’re in uncharted territory now so the “anything can happen” factor is back, making the heist extra exciting. 

Psh. None of the above. Slippin’ Jimmy pulled off this whole stunt as proof of his ability to construct stunning, slant-rhymed mnemonic devices.

Hopefully there won't be a tape to cycle through but since there's 3 episodes... something will go wrong.

I heard Terry Gross interview Bob Odenkirk and Peter Gould today. Gould said Cinnabon has been enthusiastic since Saul told Walter he’d be lucky if he ended running a Cinnabon in Omaha.

It is definitely weekly. Jerry and Gene are always talking about Nebraska football and college football is played once a week on Saturdays. Plus Gene is shown training Jeff to quickly navigate to twenty different sections of a store - that is something that isn’t going to happen in the course of a week either.

I thought the same.  This is top notch product placement and I somehow don't remotely care.  Brilliant. 

My heart was racing just as much if not more for this than any of the thrilling heights of Breaking Bad. BCS somehow keeps finding ways to prove to everyone that its fucking phenomenal.
