Did you like the show immediately? I watched the first two episodes and I didn't care for it.
I did. I recall it really picks up around episode 4 though. Maybe it's just sci-fi geekiness on my part, but I feel like it ought to appeal outside the genre similar to Game of Thrones. Has a nice blend of politics, characters, realism, and the more fantastical stuff which bleeds in slowly. In fact the way the "blue stuff" is handled in the pilot and the series reminds me a lot of how the White Walkers are handled on GOT, maybe deliberately so.

"13 Reasons Why" on Netflix is really good.Takes the high school problems I faced to an entirely different level, but I also didn't go to high school in the era of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, etc. Hell, I don't even think text messaging was a thing.

If you didn't catch the Louis CK SNL I would suggest heading over to youtube and watching the entire thing. The Lawyer, Sectionals, Tenement Museum, Birthday Clown, etc. It's all good.

I know it's typical Gilligan M.O., but the episode dragged. I like watching Mike be methodical as much as the next guy, but that was like 20 minutes of him taking apart a bug and putting it back together.

lol i was thinking the same exact thing. it dragged on so long that i forgot where he was going with it.

also, since its been so long, i need a refresher on what Saul admitted to in the recording.

was it changing the names on the court docs?

What was going on...wasn't really paying attention and didn't pick everything up.

Did he find out what it was, keep it with him, then replace it with his own so he could track them when they picked it up? If so, where did he place their original tracking device when they picked it up? Surely they would notice that it wasn't the original tracking device when their monitor started showing the location getting farther away after they picked it up, no?

What was the gas cap he set on the top of the shack and wouldn't they notice it was a different car that they picked up the gas cap from?

He admitted to altering the documents from Chuck's file knowing Chuck would use the incorrect addresses in the file and then submit the application with the wrong address. Apparently that's a felony.

I believe he removed their bug, and wore down the battery. The guys that bugged his car had to come back and replace it, but he had switched in his own identical bug, so that they'd bring it home and he could track them. I assume that by the time they realize they have in their possession a new bug, Mike will have tracked them down.

We don't know who it is that was following Mike yet, but there's about a 99% chance it's a certain Ozzie Smith lookalike who runs a chicken chain.
