Trivia
Saul jokes to his new criminal partners about being buried in a sandstorm for a thousand years, alluding to the poem "Ozymandias," which gave Ozymandias (2013) its title.

Goofs
In Francesca's tenants' apartment, there is a Guitar Hero Live case visible on top of a kitchen cabinet. The Gene Takovic timeline takes place in 2010, but Guitar Hero Live debuted in 2015.

Quotes
Mike Ehrmantraut: Now listen, even if this guy was gonna live, I wouldn't go near him. He's a complete amateur.
Jimmy McGill: Well, you see an amateur, I see 170 pounds of clay, ready to be molded.
Mike Ehrmantraut: Well, if the cancer doesn't get him, it'll be the cops or a bullet to the head.
Jimmy McGill: Is that your appraisal, or is that what "He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named" says about him?
Mike Ehrmantraut: He doesn't say anything. The guy's small potatoes.
Jimmy McGill: Yeah, okay. I hear you. I just... I got a feeling about this. This Heisenberg guy's got something. It's top of the line product, that's the buzz on the street, and I just think, with the right management...
[gets interrupted]
Mike Ehrmantraut: You know, years ago, I bought a Betamax. Good product. "Top of the line." Experts said it was better than a VHS. Turned out to be a complete waste of time and money. Hmm? Let it go.

Crazy credits
The opening credits contains two still frames. The first one, A beverage with ice on top of the armrest of the recliner, at Gene's residence. The second one briefly shows Gene's car entering a crossroads, distorted by the degrading tape.

This is the moment Breaking Bad Better Call Saul

Return to formation for Saul breaking the barrier he was meant to do.

It's all here folks, watching the show since it's first episode Uno up until this point has been "quiet a ride" everything that we predicted and saw happen the writers find a way to pull the rug from under us. All while having it make sense into the narrative of the story this show was out to be.

This episode was a downward spiral, a pinnacle and love letter to the franchise as we know it, from the opening scenes before the BCS theme we have something you will certainly be in a real nice treat for.

The way this episode progresses it's narrative going forward was very nice and story perfectly makes it all worth while. You have the dynamic between characters with excitement and thrills we have been waiting for.
