Better Call Saul ***Spoilers***

Tipsy McSwagger

The start was comedy gold.

That scene with the toilet ... absolutely classic Saul ... so funny ..

I kind of got a bit bored in the middle of the episode this week. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 'Setup My Own State' guy and sex toilet guy but by the time he'd gotten to doing the will for the old lady I was starting to wonder if the episode was just going to turn into a montage of dodgy clients. It was funny how it progressed though to the jello on the nursing home. I don't find Chuck all that interesting to be honest. Seeing a Chuch episode had all the impact for me that a Meg Family Guy episode does. I did think it was going to pick up though when Saul said he was going to commit him to piss off the law firm. The Mike angle was interesting though. That kind of saved the episode for me. I wonder what his daughter is up to? It's just so hard to know now whether the cops are there for Mike or to talk to him about his daughter.

I am kind of rehashing points made by others byt I have really enjoyed Chuck.

He is constantly wary of Saul falling back into his old ways and seems to be the only chracter who really knows about his past (although could be wrong there).

Conversely, Chuck really represents Saul's moral compass. He is clearly holding back slightly due to the reigning in influence of Chuck and you feel he is Saul's moral compass for as long as he is around but after that...

Loved it. Really like Chuck and find him interesting (but can totally understand people being bored by that). More Mike too is great, can't wait to see his story (surely next week). Obviously sex toilet and Mr Build His Own Country were great too.

It's a breath of fresh air and by far the best TV at the moment.

I hope they sort it out soon, the whole Chuck thing I find tedious.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm assuming if next week is the Mike episode and the cops are there to arrest him, he'll have Jimmy's card on him and thus will begin the beautiful friendship of Mike and Saul...

Me too, very non-compelling.

Mike and Jimmy / Saul in a room with the cops.....On a wing, it'll be Jimmy's first introduction to heavy organised crime. Not scary men with tattoos who talk big....just people who do (and do meaning do). How he fares in rescuing Mike will be his future told.

The Black Oil

Been catching up over the past week or two. Enjoying it more than House of Cards, but that's not hard. Everyone needs a few crackpot clients and it's good to see Clea Duvall.

Orange is the new black I think is where I know her from.

Who was the woman in the car that went past Mike when he was Mike spying on & maybe the reason the cops came by, maybe he breached a restraining order?

Not sure, his daughter maybe?

He looks after his grandkid a lot in BB and left his fortune to her before it all went tits up

I am leaning towards his daughter. But it could be anyone knowing the way the writers are.

Probably a silly thing to think about but I wonder why the tile of the most recent episode didn't end in "O", all the others did and do.

Could just be there to bug people.

They wanted to call it Jello but for legal reasons could not.

Very strong episode! Really enjoyed the final few minutes.

More on the serious side this week, rather than the light hearted humor we are used to. Jimmy was only in it for a short period this week. Was definetly the Mike show! Went in way too quick.

Yes, his black background and moral centre was always there but nice to see it sketched out in detail. I liked the way those two cops were dead before Mike started getting "drunk". A staged execution except they didn't know they were the dead meat.
We also know that at this point he's straight(ish) and not connected to anyone heavy in New Mexico. Although thanks to helpful vets a man has options .

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm just glad Kerry Condon is playing an American... Her own Irish accent would annoy me in a show like this...

...and very bloody well too. I spend too much time giving out. Credit where credit is due.

Mr. Loverman

Did any of you notice one of those cops was the lad from Prison Break who killed those kids?

Enjoyed that! Poor mike.

Snake Plisken

Very enjoyable episode great performance by Jonathan Banks! I actually hate Walter White now for killing him!

Indeed. But this was Mike's version of the tale. We've had cases of unreliable narrators throughout fiction. I'll take it as fact that there's three dead cops in Pittsburgh with Mike involved. He also tells a good tale and breaks into cars like a demon.
