Better Call Saul

[SmartAleq]

I'm glad they're not hurrying the pace and I disagree that this ep was kicking the can. There was a lot to unpack and definitely a lot of shaping of the characters that brought them to Breaking Bad. Also callbacks, like the pig toy and Ice Station Zebra (later Saul's holding company.) The nail biting waiting for the phones to light up--of course they had to wait until AFTER Murder She Wrote to call, duh! This show is a slow motion explosion that's already happened. I love it, hope it never changes.

And Stacey is definitely playing Mike, but how much and why is yet to be discovered. WHY does Mike need to set Kaylee up with SO MUCH MONEY? He's so driven in BB to make sure she's okay but dayum, he seems to think she's gonna need about ten times what might seem reasonable--why? What brings him to that conclusion?
