And yeah, people should say what's behind the spoiler code. "Possible spoilers for next week's episode", for example.

It is nearly impossible to deduce what's behind a spoiler code, most of the time.

finished the first two seasons and man do i love this show...i wasn't in love with the saul goodman character on breaking bad; i think tonally it just caught me off guard, and when i heard a spinoff about him was being made i had low expectations

obviously this show provides more depth and insight to the character and i'm looking forward to rewatching breaking bad and seeing the character in a different light...odenkirk is just fantastic

I saw him do stand up about a year or so ago and it was insane to me how much smaller he looked

It was nice to have an episode that was all about Jimmy and Chuck's story. This show has at times felt like two stitched-together half-shows.

One of which isn't really worth the time it's been given recently. Still, this show's lows do not reach the depths of inanity that Breaking Bad's sometimes did. It's highs aren't as high, though.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've had the thought "I like this better than Breaking Bad" a few times over the course of the show, but to be fair I haven't rewatched Breaking Bad in a long time. I might do that after this season of BCS wraps up.

I enjoy this so much more than breaking bad precisely because it doesn't have, or require, any fist pumping moments.
