Talk about attention to detail ... the nurse was in Breaking Bad. Some of the tiles on the hospital's hallway floor also had the "BB element logo".

They should have gone with "Geletin Dessert Snack" instead! Everyone would know what they were talking about.

Those figurines that the old lady was willing to family and friends are Hummels
My Grandmother has a ton of them, in addition there are also plates that hang on the wall (you can see them in the background). In the late 70's early 80's they skyrocketed in value (with runaway inflation in the US). So to that generation, they are like gold - and at one point were worth more than gold. Unfortunately today they are not in demand and worth a couple of bucks.
When I was a kid I told my Grandmother I wanted them when she passed on - thinking they would make me rich (in a kids mind)... She still says to this day "when you were a little boy you expressed interest in them" ... so I have a feeling that I will be getting box loads full of Hummels one day.
She even bought me "the scholar" Hummel figure when I graduated college. I didn't even know they had names untill she gave me one and told me the name, so it made me laugh when the lady brought down the "alpine Shepard boy"

I thought this was the best of the season so far. Each episode gets better. As mentioned, the money from the secession guy was hysterical. And of course, the toilet. “Fill me up, Chandler. Put it in me!”

Did I see one of the APD detectives from BB on Mike's porch? It was quick, but I thought I saw one of the guys who interrogated Pinkman.

Toward the end of the show, was Mike eating in the same diner that was featured in many scenes in Breaking Bad? It looked very familiar.

Excellent as always.
So, perhaps a dumb question, but I guess this show takes place in the same "universe" as Breaking Bad? I mean I know it's a spinoff for Saul's character, but this is the same Saul that ends up in Breaking Bad, kind of an origin story?

I thought the nursing home Saul was visiting was the same as the one Hector was in and that Walt blew up, but wasn't sure until I saw that link posted by dex14.
