Yeah it was good. Was unsure of it for the first half of the episode but then it got a lot better. Liking the introduction of some familiar faces.

As with most well-written story arcs, the end doesn't matter so much as how the protagonist gets from the beginning to the end.
Like I mean even 6 episodes into watching Breaking Bad for the first time everyone's like "oh yeah this fu@ker's definitely going to die."

Most of the time I watch hollywood blockbuster movies but I also love watching historic/political/etc documentaries. I rarerly watch dramas or movies where people chat only because I'm not going to cinema to cry about some imaginable character. I want to see action, explosions, firefights and all awesomeness.

I'm not huge show fan but I enjoy watching Sherlock, Top Gear and Parks and Recreation.

I rarely cry to movies no matter what they are...I do get emotional to them quite a bit. But hell, I barely cried when my grandma died, my 2 dogs died, and my cousin and aunt died in a car accident recently. Not to mention my uncle dying also recently.

I want to see action, explosions, firefights and all awesomeness.

And 90% of the time those bore the hell out of me because they're unimaginative as hell.

Never watched the latter, but the first two are good.

I like movies with action if they're good action. Suffice to say, most of them stick to the boring fight scene stereotypes and action movie stereotypes (Ahem, Star Trek Into Darkness fit into like every freaking stereotype), so most of the time they turn me off...But scenes like the spinning hallway in Inception are great action movie periods.

I have ridiculously low standards for action movies, so there's a 99% chance that I'm gonna like an action movie. Except when they're just unimaginably terrible (damn you Taken 3)

Yeah i watched both episodes as well, i thought they were really good, far better than i expected them to be.

One of the best parts for me so far is when he tries to leave the court parking lot and has not got enough tickets and Mike forces him to go back, its pure gold :lol:

I agree - the Mike interactions were brilliant, however I'm unsure about the inclusion of Mike at this stage of the story.

One of the defining aspects of Mike's character is his loyalty, so if it's Saul that gets him to set up as a PI and brings him into the business, then I would expect Mike to have a certain amount of loyalty to him. However, when Mike is introduced in Breaking Bad, he is working for Saul as a PI, but also keeping an eye on him for Gus. It would seem out of character (to me anyway) for Mike to be spying on Saul for Gus

Ugh, why do so many shows have the "dead" characters in the show not actually be dead? It's so freaking predictable nowadays it's irritating. Just happened in a show I was watching with my sister and it's leaving a bad feeling on my mind because it's sooo predictable and kinda ruins so much about what has been happening in the show for me. Seems like a weird coincidence that the season after that starts losing episodes compared to the previous...

Granted but Neill is a really good director and knows his Sci-fi, so i think he can pull it off and make a good movie. But very very very early days at the moment.
