Haha, nice crossover Hobbes...Odenkirk did a great job creating and executing Saul. It very well may be tough to top. I could see him getting something along the lines of a Colbert Show, another sketch comedy guy reprising one of his characters daily.
"Run!" Holy shit what an ending. The best part was after getting out of the car he just shot that guy without any hesitation. So is Heisenberg about to kill Gus too now or what?
The story about half measures that Mike the Fixer told Walt was an excellent scene. I really wish the Fixer was in more of the episodes, but I guess he's more of a behind the scenes character.
hahaha thats funny, i just got done watching it on demand cause i missed it yesterday, and came on here to post the same thing. funny that was the first post, crazay shit.
yea i really liked when he was reliving the story about the wife beater and his face started twitching. some good shit right there.
"...a Waring blender." This show is beyond great. It always manages to top itself. You get an episode that you say, eh, and then you get drilled into your seat. The bar scene was incredible. I love how they weave stuff in. 'Wendy' is a testimonial on Saul's website. Brilliance.
Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Absolutely, it was a brilliant story. Mike: Um...I used to be a beat cop a long time ago. Now I'd get called out on domestic disputes all the time, hundreds probably over the years. But there was this one guy, this one piece of shit, that I will never forget. Gordy. He looked like Bo Svenson. Remember him? "Walking Tall"? You don't remember? Anyway, big boy. 270, 280. But his wife, or whatever she was, a lady, she was real small, like a bird. Birds like little branches. Anyway, my partner and I get called out there every weekend and one of us would pull her aside and say, "C'mon, tonight's the night. Press charges." And this wasn't one of those "deep down he really loves me" set ups, we get a lot of those, but not this. This girl was scared. She wasn't gonna cross him no way, no how. Nothing we could do but pass her off to the EMTs, put him in the car, drive him downtown, throw him in the drunk tank, he sleeps it off, next morning out he goes back home. One night, my partner is out sick and it's just me. Then the call comes in and it's the usual crap. Broken nose in the shower kind of thing. So I cuff him, put him in the car and away we go. Only that night, we're driving into town, and this sideways asshole is in my backseat humming "Danny Boy." And it just rubbed me the wrong way. So instead of left, I go right, out into nowhere, and I kneel him down and I put my revolver in his mouth and I told him, "This is it. This is how it ends." And he's crying, going to the bathroom all over himself, swearing to God he's gonna leave her alone, screaming as much as you can with a gun in your mouth. And I told him to be quiet and I needed to think about what I was gonna do here. And of course he got quiet. Goes still and real quiet, like a dog waiting for dinner scraps. And we just stood there for a while, me acting like I'm thinking things over and Prince Charming kneeling in the dirt with shit in his pants. After a few minutes I took the gun out of his mouth and I say so help me if you ever touch her again and such and such and such and such and blah blah blah blah blah. Walter: Just a warning? Mike: Hmph. Of course. Just trying to do the right thing. But two weeks later he killed her. Of course. Caved her head in with the base of Waring blender. We got there and there was so much blood you can taste the metal. The moral of the story is I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again. No more half measures, Walter.

I love how Jesse looks himself in the mirror first. Symbols, symbols, everywhere; but what sets it apart is that there's also drums and cymbals. I love the whole Eli Wallach stroll down the street. All Jesse needed was some spurs. Remember when Jesse was homeless and got slimed by a porta-john? Holeee Smokes.
I don't want it to end. ...just like the Fixer said: No more half measures, Walter. Last week's episode was called Half Measures and the finale is Full Measure.
Oofah. So let's recap. "No more children." So the Chicken Man, to send a twisted message to Jesse, has his toadies kill 11 year old Tomas. You know that kid was ruined material, but damn, that's cold. Jesse got the message, alright. Then Walter mows down Tomas' killers. One more episode and then I have to wait until next year. Really?
