Gus FUCKING Fring. Baddest villain in TV history.

'Saul' and 'Fargo' returning in the coming weeks. Cannot wait.

You don't view Walter White as a villain? I get it, because he was the main guy and the viewer was pulled towards rooting for him but Walter White was a death sentence to everyone around him save for Jesse, Sklyer, Jr. and Holly but they weren't too fond of him in the end.

He falls into the "anti-hero" category to me. Though he had many villainous aspects, you could always see a bit of good/humanity still in him...right to the end when he gave Jesse closure. Fring was just a pure villain, and the scariest kind.

Since the show is returning Monday, a few Easter Eggs or cameos I'd like eventually (maybe even in Season 3):

- Don Eladio
- Walter White's Pontiac in the background (not Walter White, maybe just walk past the car)
- A meal at Gardunos

It's way too early for Jesse, Skinny Pete, Combo or Badger represented by Jimmy (as an attorney).

I'd like to see Don Eladio.

I assume you mean just seeing Walt's Aztec at a random place of no relevance. By the time Walt crosses paths with anyone of relevance, Tio is in his wheelchair.

Agree on Badger. It's too early. When Saul first represents Badger in BB, he gets Badger mixed up with a different case (public masturbation?) so it's too early for Saul to know Badger. That mix up is the first he learns of Badger when he's busted selling Walt and Jesse's blue. Until then, Badger is just a johnny-nobody-meth-user.

One aspect of both "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" that I enjoy are the opening scenes without any dialogue such as the Cinnabon scenes (I love those), the scene inside the meth lab where the workers are putting the meth inside the Los Pollos Hermanos batter and the cartel truck driver getting checked by border patrol.

For some reason, those Cinnabon scenes remind me of City Center downtown or Tuttle Crossing Mall and eating those things as a child w/o worrying about calories.

***It wasn't "green screen", so they really had to work, but the scene where Mike was checking the station wagon and there was a lightning/thunder storm in the background was really well done. They probably didn't mean to do it, but it was almost symbolic of a storm coming (in the future with Gus Frings, who put the tracker on the car).

The background with the lightning was really pretty.

You should count how many times they mentioned Cracker Barrel throughout the episode (I think it was more than 12).

A Los Pollos Hermanos value meal is $3.19 with a drink. That's 1990's prices (maybe early 2000's, I can't remember).

It should be 2003 or 2004 in the Saul universe. I believe Victor was driving a second generation Escalade 800, which began with the '02 model year.
