The Scene That Made Me Fall in Love with Better Call Saul 

Mike is such a great antithesis to Walter. He’s so methodical in almost everything. What he did was carefully planned. Meanwhile, Walter was just shooting and bombing his way to victory. An agent of chaos.

When you write like this it makes rewatching sooooo much more fun, you can watch countless times but there will always be something that feels fresh like you've never seen it before

I have to admit, I was confused a bit when I first watched this particular scene. You REALLY have to be on top of it to really digest all of Mike's actions and their broader implications. But the thing with the pistachios is just a beautiful little mark of creativity that, as a Gilliverse viewer, you simply come to expect! Great analysis, hope you cover BCS more in the future.

I remember watching this for the first time, and was absolutely confused but also thoroughly intrigued. Thank you covering such a niche yet awesome scene.

tbh that amount of pistaccios would signify merely minutes if it was me

Plus pistachios are YUMMY, showing that Mike has great taste.

OMG i love it when i find other people who enjoy the same shows i do. I really liked breaking bad & I loved better call saul. Needless to say, I was sad when it ended. There's not very many series available that compares or comes close to these 2 masterpieces.

This is the exact same advice I've given to storytellers on RU-vid. To many of them will create a fan fiction and then pause it multiple times every few minutes just to try and explain what's going on. I give them the advice, let the story show the explanation. Don't pause the story to tell the explanation.

I loved Better Call Saul so much. It's everything: the characters, the cinematography, the script, the acting, the plot, the colours... What a delight watching this show was. I had not seen Breaking Bad prior, so I had no previous knowledge, but it didn't take away from the experience one bit.

Shame Gus didn't notice him spending 6 hours at a junkyard.

The ENTIRE show is like this. That’s why it’s the best show ever put on television.

Mike is such a brilliant character, I loved him in both series. He was the anti to WW and I became a sucker for him the more Walter becomes unhinged.

Brilliant review...brilliant episode! It's Twofer Saturday! :D

God bless you and your work sir Samwise😇😇😇 respect from Croatia 😇😇😇👍👍👍💜💜💜

Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are the true masters of “visual storytelling”. Not that pretentious Zack Snyder.

This is the moment Master Samwise Better Called Saul

Better Call Saul is such an amazing show!! Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad do show don’t tell better than any other show except maybe The Wire And sometimes The Wire shows a bit too much.

Why is he eating pistachios made me think of a legendary line: “I'll take a potato chip... and eat it!“

As an old saying goes: "Speaking is silver, silence is gold".

Better Call Saul is my favorite show of all time

Well breaking bad and better call sual are best show ever made

Funny, it's one of the scenes I didn't like. Seeing Mike do all this stuff for me was "okay, he's a badass operator, I get it". I think the scene that struck me the most in BCS is when the army commander comes back to tell Saul to drop his add. It gives such depth as to who the character of Saul is, and the consequences he has over the world.

Brilliant. It's been a while now since I watched this but I do remember that sequence and how thrilling it was discovering and working out the pieces along the way, then wondering what precisely was his plan when he put it all back together. I never did fully watch Breaking Bad (limited opportunity when it first aired and then just the timing of life) so I knew a few of the characters and general plot but I never realized the genius behind the show. Better Call Saul roped me in so hard it was like the most beautiful self-torture of suspense and pain, haha! Contrasted with what has become the very lazy and practically insulting writing we see so often today, it stood out that much more as an absolute work of art 😍 I can't stand that I'm tainting the comments with this request, but I wonder if you've seen a certain very pink movie and what your thoughts are around the writing and implementation. Personally I felt slapped in the face with a lot of telling, not showing, and wonder how it might have been done correctly to maintain satire, but in a more intelligent way. I knew I likely wouldn't agree with the messaging, but was fully ready to welcome a well-crafted film and it simply fell flat for me.

Do you think shows stopped asking for their viewers attention because they knew they wouldn’t get it, or did viewers stop giving shows their undivided attention because they realized it wasn’t needed?

I forgot some of the details of this scene. Didn't gus' people get suspicious when the tracker they planted was now on a different car??

That was one of the worst and most boring scenes I've ever seen. This scene takes like 15min minutes. We all know Mike, we know trackers, this scene along with the show mostly just stalls for time
