Another solid episode!

This episode was another solid, exciting experience filled withbgreatbdrama qnd tension from beginning to end!

This episode brings us one step closer to how Jimmy will transform into Saul, as he once again gets punished for doing something good, but he acted on his own out of self interests! We clearly see how Jimmy is great at being his own man, but does pool when others tell him what to do and what he cant do!

The scene with Jimmy and Chuck, might not hit as hard as the one in Pigmento, but is still another masterclass in acting, as we see Jimmy's frustration build-up!

The plotline with Mike is equally great, intense with some nice cameos that actually makes sense in the story, tie in to Breaking Bad, and shows us what an absolutely bad ass Mike truely is!

Trivia
When Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) goes to see Chuck (Michael McKean), Chuck is wearing a wristwatch. This appears to be an old-fashioned analog wristwatch, consistent with Chuck's fear of all things electronic or electrical.

Goofs
When Mike calls 911 on a payphone, he inserts money. This is unnecessary, as real payphones make 911 calls free of charge.

Quotes
[last lines]
[seeing Mike's face after the fight with Tuco]
Nacho Varga: Wow. Look at you. Are you gonna have to testify?
Mike Ehrmantraut: The cops witnessed him in the commission of a felony. My wallet was in his pocket. Add the gun... he gets a 5 to 10 stretch.
Nacho Varga: 25,000 dollars. You definitely earned it. Still, you coulda gotten twice as much for 1/10 the hassle. You woulda done the world a favor. You wouldn't look like someone took a lead pipe to your face. Plus, when Tuco gets out, maybe he comes looking for you.
Mike Ehrmantraut: Get to the point.
Nacho Varga: Just saying... you went a long way to not pull that trigger. Why?
