I have so many questions and the episode only answered like a third of them. Darn you, Vince Gilligan.

That negotiation scene is already a highlight of the series, if you can have a highlight after two episodes. The dark comedy with character repercussions is what Breaking Bad did best and that scene was very reminiscent of that theme.

It's a fun show. We've already seen the fall of Saul. Now we get to see the preluding rise.

The most recent episode reveals the origins of James McGill's "Saul Goodman" moniker, as a pun used during scams.

I knew it already, but to be fair, I found it reading Saul Goodman's Wikipedia article. I would've never picked it up from just pronunciation, I think I would've needed to say it really fast, several times, to get it.

I only knew because of this. Cody and Swaim have the same epiphany at 2:56.

Which episode? The most recent episode (episode 6: "Five-O") seemed clear as daylight.
