Mike is dead post-BrBa. He's not in Belize. Belize doesn't even sound like a real place.

The descent has TRULY started now. From the snarky comment with his shitty tip to the last scene at the insurance company, he is becoming the Saul Goodman we know from BB. Looks like we're also seeing what may be what comes between Jimmy and Kim and ends things with them.

I thought it was a wonderful episode.

I may be retarded about this show. I may be retarded in general.

But even I know that the origin of the name "Saul Goodman" was not revealed in BB.

I was the first car stopped at a railroad crossing this morning. It was a very slow and long train - I was there 9 minutes. At one point, the train stopped. What was stopped directly in front of me? 2 tankers of methylene. I guess that caper is more plausible than I originally thought. A few tankers later was 3 tankers of hydrochloric acid. It was the Breaking Bad train.

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 should also mention that it's a really good episode. I really love what they're doing with Howard. One of the most complex and fully-formed characters in the entire Breaking Bad universe.

Two spoilery observations below:
Spoiler: show
-I want Chuck to get better, and I think Jimmy still going after him while he's working on improving himself is what's going to start turning Jimmy somewhat unsympathetic -- if not to the audience, at least to Kim
-The scene with Nacho dropping the medication into Hector's coat pocket gave me a lot of anxiety

There's a pirated rip of a Spanish broadcast of episode 8 with subtitles making the rounds online.

I'm just gonna wait until tomorrow night.

Yeah, a Spanish channel and its corresponding streaming service released the episode early, and it made the rounds last week.
