Lots of good stuff here!

Having started this show so much later than most people, I'm well aware of Saul Goodman's spin-off series, and I can kind of already see why. Odenkirk was fantastic in this episode alone. I've always loved him. He's just got so much charisma. I'd watch just about anything with him in it, so I'm happy he'll be returning for what sounds like the rest of this series. The character is already quite entertaining.

I wasn't expecting a legitimately engrossing moment between Walt and Hank. That was actually kind of nice. This is a relationship I'm very interested in seeing more of. I know nothing about what happens in this show save for a few spoilers, so I'm going on pretty blind.

This was really well paced and directed. The scene halfway through in the desert was shot and acted so damn well.

I feel like the past two or three episodes have finally kicked off what is likely the beginning of the end of Jesse and Walt's lives. And there's still three whole seasons after this. Great stuff.
