I thought that was far and away the best part of the episode. I found it fascinating trying to figure out what Mike was doing. |

I can see why you think like this, but I totally disagree with it. The attention to detail that VG creates is what is intriguing about his work. |

I couldn't quite tell what was played on Chuck's tape, but I do believe it was in purpose. What was it that we heard?

I see my post didn't strike a chord with most of you and, perhaps, my reaction was based on watching after just coming off resolving a major issue at work, along with recently suffering through a weak and slow season of The Walking Dead.
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...al-speed-it-up Even Bob Odenkirk has expressed frustration at Better Call Saul’s glacial pace, recently promising the Radio Times that things would be “picking up speed” over the next 10 episodes, admitting: “It’s an incremental journey, and it’s a little too slow for some people.” The same could be said for BB, but by season 3 of BB Walter White had begun to make things very interesting. This show has been a much slower burn. I've really enjoyed the interplay between Jimmy and his brother and the Mike spin-offs but at some point this show has to hit the road and get going. All I can say is that it was a disappointing debut and I hope things pick up the pace in future episodes. Last edited by Gadzooks; 04-13-2017 at 10:29 PM.. |

I would agree it was intentional. Chuck had to rewind the tape, stop it right before the juicy part, take the batteries out, and leave the "play" button pressed, all while enduring the pain of handling an electronic device. |

It is slow and I have wonder if people just buy it as good because of breaking bad.

Weird piece of trivia that's more about the vagaries of production than anything.
This past week's Cinnabon footage was filmed with the real Cinnabon employees at a mall that was closed in the early morning hours. For the footage while Jimmy/Saul was out in the mall eating his lunch, most of the proprietors agreed to open their storefronts so it looked like the mall was open and occupied. Except for Dillards. The Dillards at the end, they had to photograph during open hours, then print a huge banner to put over the gated entrance. |

Not sure, but that would be some anal detail to haul the entire unit up to Nebraska just for a few minutes of generic mall footage. I assume it's something in the QQ area.
imdb lists the cottonwood mall. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C9GNfuyUAAAWkd1.jpg |
