Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVince Gilligan has confirmed that the desert in which Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) negotiates with Tuco (Raymond Cruz) is the same spot where Walter White (Bryan Cranston) gives his "Say My Name" speech.
- Goofs(at arouns 32 mins) Jimmy enters his office at the back of the beauty salon. He unlocks the door and has to push a chair out of the way so that he can open the door enough to fit through. This wouldn't be possible unless someone stayed in the office and pushed the chair up against the door after he locked it.
- Quotes
Lars Lindholm: You... you are... you are the worst lawyer, the worst lawyer ever!
Saul Goodman: Hey, I just talked you down from a death sentence... to six months' probation. I'm the best lawyer ever!

Featured review
Talk about deescalation
I'm going to continue my method of reviewing each individual episode of The Witcher for this show (and probably many more shows to come), which was that, unless I think something I mentioned in my review of the first episode (i.e the acting, directing, cinematography, and pacing) is notably better or worse from episode to episode, I won't mention it.
So on that note, the pacing, and general plot. Holy crap it's soooo much better than the pilot. Everything with Tuco is every bit as entertaining and tense as the character was in Breaking Bad,and the writing in his half of the episode is just so damn good.
The restaurant scene was beautifully shot, the montage scene was beautifully edited (and I love the coffee cup and breadstick symbolism), and the ending scene is brilliant at getting you excited for whatever is to come.
The only problem I had is that I'm still not sure what the point of Chuck's character is, and I really don't think he's that interesting so far. This is a Vince Gilligan show we're talking about though, so that could change at any time.
And something I didn't mention in my review of the first episode is that it looks as though this show's use of licensed music may turn out to be just as great as Breaking Bad's, so yeah. NOW I'm looking forward to the rest of this. In many ways, this feels like the actual pilot episode.
