    What a great episode

    I want to say hats off to Michael McKean and Bob Odenkirk. I just rewatched this episode and had to rewind the last 5 min to see that scene with them again. Brilliant!

    One of the best and most important episodes yet!!

    Another Monday, Better Call Saul delivers one hell of a show! All the things that made Breaking Bad an amazing show were in this episode. From the screenplay to the cinematography, it was just all so good.

    I'm going to keep this short, because if I ramble on and on I will likely spoil something. Frankly this was just a great episode, carrying on from a great cliffhanger, and setting up another one at the end. There were outstanding subplots going on throughout the episode with some excellent new actors as well as Better Call Saul 'veterans,' if you can call them that already (Jimmy, Chuck, Howard, etc).

    Anyway, watch this episode as soon as you can if you haven't already. Another stunning installment from Gilligan, Gould and company, and most definitely not the last.

    You're not a real lawyer!

    This episode was an incredible, well-written experience, elevated by some amazing performances that shows that Jonothan Banks is not the only one who goes all out!

    This episode captures the relantionship between Chuck and Jimmy, in its most pure ans true form! Its like the vail is gone and we finally get to see what kind of person Chuck really is in that incredible final scene!

    Mike also has some great scenes as we now get one step closer to the tough-guy we know from Breaking Bad! I loved his scene where he talks about what It means to be criminal and that everyone has their good side and bad side!

    Overall this was Better Call Saul at its FINNEST!

    "And that, in a nutshell, is why trickle-down economics is a load of crap!"

    So...Trevor from GTA V is in this episode. Of course it's my favourite so far.

    But being serious though, there is not a second of this episode that feels wasted, or boring, or underwhelming, it's easily the best so far in my opinion.

    And that twist at the end was bloody heartbreaking, yet you understand everyone's perspective on it. Seriously brilliant stuff.

    Marvelous writing and acting

    Building off last episode, this episode dug pretty deep into the relationship between Jimmy and his brother Chuck. The writing and delivery of what they go through, trying to bring their lawsuit to fruition, is as good as anything you'll see on TV. Mike grabs some more air time as well, as we see him go into "bad ass" mode by using his brain more than brawn.

    I don't know if I even want a Walter White or Gustavo cameo at this point. The show is its own animal and stands on its own two feet exceptionally well. If they do make an appearance, it should only be to serve the concurrent story line.

    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      While in court arguing the Restraining Order, the clock on the wall shows that the second hand isn't moving. This is a trick by directors who don't want to see time advance too much during multiple takes.
    • Quotes

      Mike Ehrmantraut: The lesson is, if you're gonna be a criminal, do your homework.

      Price: Wait, I-I'm not a bad guy, I don...

      Mike Ehrmantraut: I didn't say you're a bad guy, I said that you're a criminal.

      Price: What's the difference?

      Mike Ehrmantraut: I've known good criminals and bad cops, bad priests, honorable thieves-you can be on one side of the law or the other, but if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again, but you took something that wasn't yours and you sold it for a profit. You're now a criminal; good one, bad one-that's up to you.
