That should be the finale of Better Call Saul. Hank finally finds Saul in Omaha and just as he's about to shoot him Walter White appears and says "No you're going to have to deal with both of us." FADE TO BLACK.

Fixed it for you.

And thus establish a connection between both shows and "The Walking Dead". :lol:

It's clear that he does not get any thrills out of being a lawyer unless he is breaking the rules. The first season was about him embracing the con man side of his personality. Now he's looking for acceptance of that side. He thought he might get that with the commercial but it backfired on him.

Yeah, he had the feeling that there was some resistance to the ad, so he went ahead with it because he was so sure it would work. And even though he was right, it's just not the way things are done. Though I'm sure if the ad wasn't successful, they would've tossed him out on his ass immediately.

On The Walking Dead Merle had a bag of blue meth.

He's wearing an eyepatch.

So is Mike going to do it?

I guess the implication is that he's supposed to kill someone. He clearly doesn't seem to want to go to such lengths, as he said he wouldn't "break legs".

Is anyone else having trouble viewing this episode on the AMC website? It asks for a cable provider login which I provide and then it takes me back out to the episode selection screen, again and again...

Did you even watch the first season?

He had health insurance that somehow didn't cover his oncologist. OK, that's more believable. -rolleyes- I work for a school district and I never even heard of one having a "network". That's the point, the benefits are tops.

Both series are about self-destructive guys who are acting out of pride. Looking back, I've done a lot stupid self-destructive things in my life that seemed right or merited at the moment, but in retrospect were foolish.

I don't know. I would think driving a company Mercedes and having a plush office with dignity and respect would be more prideful than being a con artist.

So, your point is that every oncologist in America accepts the insurance plan for every public high school teacher in America?
