Best episode of the season. The Potty Buddy scene had me laughing out loud. The show is getting better with each episode. Just great writing.
It looks like it's about to really delve into Mike's back story next week. Can't wait.
Don't think there's another show out there that adds the humor of the toilet/secession scenes in what's "really" a drama. That toilet scene was great and I love how this show isn't afraid of being funny. Just a great vibe to this show, starts with Odenkirk who feels like he was born for this role.
Next weeks episode looks really good in the previews. I believe Jcn's post nailed the Mike/niece situation. His daughter-in-law clearly doesn't trust Mike. SPOILER ALERT.....
We know that eventually Mike regains her trust. I wonder if this next episode is how he does that.
RE: I think the guys at Mike's door have to do with
The story he told WW in the "Half Measures" episode of BrBa.
This is possible. If I'm not mistaken he tells Walt he was a beat cop when this story happened and he let the abuser live and a few days later the abuser killed his wife. That's it though. It is possible when they wrote that scene in BB they had every intention of making that who Mike was...a former cop. But since they never expanded further they could definitely change that now and re-write that story to suggest Mike was only pretending to be a cop in that scene and maybe he was as someone else suggested a hitman or something.
And the little girl in Breaking Bad was indeed Mike's granddaughter. So that woman from this past episode is probably his daughter, I'd say very likely the future mother of that kid.
At first since the previews make it sound like Mike had a son who was killed, I thought maybe that's the sons daughter, and Mike's daughter, the kids Aunt is raising her, but I don't think the timeline matches up. I think the granddaughter would be too young in Breaking Bad if she was already alive during this time period in Better Call Saul.
She was 10 years old in Breaking Bad. So she'd already be alive during this time period. So yeah, I'm thinking the woman we just saw in this last episode is the girls mother and likely daughter-in-law of Mike, and the girls father, is Mike's son who it seems like might have been killed in Philadelphia or something.
I agree, it is a little distracting. It's not even his face... if you watch the last scene of the last episode, the way he stood up when to go to the door when the cops were there... he was moving wayyy slower than at any point in Breaking Bad. It's his entire screen presence.
That being said, I can and have been easily getting passed this.
on Better Call Saul last night....positive in fact.
After Jimmy checks out of the gate, Mike checks out another car.....it was Walter White's Aztec, although WW's vehicle was probably a model year, 2004 or later, and this supposedly takes place in 2000-2001, they took the liberty anyway.
You made me go and check the DVR. I ran the scene a couple of times (the one where Jimmy gives Mike his business card), and the next car through looks like a run-of-the-mill sedan to me, not the Aztec. I was really hoping you were right. Are we talking about the same scene?
I'll run it again when I get home tonight....now you have me doubting myself...I was so sure at the time
I dunno Herb...to me it looks like the back of WW's Aztec...the style of the tail lights...perhaps it's just me, but I really think that's WW. Additionally, it makes no sense to continue the scene after McGill checks out. The actually cut back to Mike, cut to a larger view, and let the entire process of WW's car checking out play out. Why in the world would they add that fluff to the scene if there wasn't something to it? It makes no sense....It was WW...

He may look a bit older but it hasn't distracted me from the show one bit.
Tuco is the one whose aging really showed imo. Still doesn't bother me much.
Odenkirk looks younger because of the hair, easy fix there for amc.
