I liked it a lot, the first 10 minutes are intentionally slow, but it picks up from there. I will be watching. I was hoping someone else watched, because I'm confused about who Chuck is to Saul, and if I am supposed to be unclear about who he is.

I agree that the first ten minutes dragged on, but the pace picked up and I wasn't ready for the episode to end. I have questions too, but that's part of what I liked about it.

Chuck is Saul's brother.

SPOILERS:
I liked the nods to Breaking Bad:

-the back of the nail salon where Jimmy has his office is the salon Saul tried to get Jesse to buy

-the diner where Jimmy met potential clients is where several scenes from Breaking Bad took place- Hank and Skyler had a big scene there.

-Tuco at the end was a total shock!

Started out a little slow. They did good job of setting the stage. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight. It hasn't quite 'grabbed' me yet. We'll see.

At the beginning when he was in the restroom, was the large black man at the door the guy who worked for him in Breaking Bad?

I am not sure if that was Huell or not. I would have to watch it again.

Ahh, yes, thank you! That makes sense. Looking back, I should have made that connection

Dela- I read that in an article a few weeks ago. They did not really explain it in the show.

When Walt and Saul were in the basement of the vacuum repair shop waiting for their new identities, Saul said something to the effect that he would be lucky to end up as a manager of a Cinnabon in Nebraska.

It was the bailiff who was older and had gray hair. Looked like he could be Huell's father though.

You totally could have taken credit for that
