I thought that the two kids that Saul was using for the scam were strawberry floating idiots and got away lightly with only having their legs broken. Jumping on the wrong car? Taking the piss out of Tuco's grandmother? Trying to grass Saul up when Tuco was about to let them go?

You sound like you could well be 'the one that knocks' Moggy.

Dark.

Actually I could well be, I had no sympathy at all for those two idots and thought they were damn lucky not to lose limbs if not their lives.

Never insult the grandmothers of scary looking Mexican men. 8-)

I thought that Tuco was a lot more reserved than I expected him to be, especially as he beat one of his men to death for just speaking in BB. I guess that we might see something in Better Call Saul that makes Tuco something something...I mean, go crazy.

I don't think that the guys knew that Tuco was in the house, or related to her, but it was stupid not to check the plates. Even if I forgot that they could have done this until I thought about it later :shifty:

Tuco beating the guy to death was showing just what a strawberry floating crazy meth product Walt and Jesse had cooked up. Before that it was just blue stuff in a bag and Walt was treating it like a film, hence the daft HEISENBURG costume and trying to sound like clint Eastwood. Him doing the meth and killing someone with his fists because it was so good was showing what meth really does.

This week's episode... :lol:

Interesting opening scenes as well.

That's an excellent point! I never thought of that.

This week's episode was amazing! The next episode can't come soon enough

Another excellent episode this week, best one yet!

I like that Mike finally got to leave the ticket booth
The story is moving at a nice swift pace and it hasn't been too predictable so far.

Amazing! Loving it so much. Can't wait for next week. Love Vaas.

This is so good :datass:

heeeeres Jimmy! :wub:

Mike is brilliant.

Another damn good episode!

That's how you write a show! Felt like it was only 10 mins long.

Episode one and two were good openers, setting up the series world. Bumping into Tuco was contrived but the tension made it enjoyable. You really get on Saul's side after he sticks up for the stupid brothers. Moggy I totally agree with everything you said about them, they didn't need to be disrespectful about the grandmother! But I really enjoyed E3 because it really got into a natural flow that had the same rhythm as some Breaking Bad. Relaxed and going at it's own pace.

Whilst I've been subscribing to Netflix for a while I've always been thinking that I would cancel it to cut down on expense, but getting this delivered to me at launch makes me think I could stay a subscriber for a very long time.

Thought they did a good job of making me dislike them. Little gooseberry fools :lol:

Looking forward to ep 3. I actually really want to rewatch Breaking Bad, but may give it a while as it's only been a year or so since it finished.

I noticed the rating for this show is G for General? that's a little low considering?

Really enjoyed episode 3, but at the end I didn't understand why Jimmy wouldn't call the cops as soon as he found the tent, or risk scaring the Kettlemens away. Although I guess that wouldn't leave much room for the story to continue.

I really liked Nacho in episode 2 but he was a bit of an idiot in the latest episode. What sort of dumbass scopes out a target in a van registered in their own name? :fp:

Great episode though. Mike. :wub:

Another great episode, really like the pace of this. Heeere's Johnny! :lol:

Episode 3 Gif

As soon as I saw that bit I knew there would be gifs doing the rounds :wub:

Episode 4 might be the best yet. Not as much happened but it was great to see Slippin' Jimmy in action. Jimmy is such a weasel but you can't help cheer him on. :wub:
