It's good to see the softer side of Mike, finally.
Great way to end the episode.

I made a huge mistake by starting to watch the show as it airs. Now I have to do so much waiting :(.
(This episode was really damn great, though).

I figure it's easy money, you know. It's all pretty harmless. They probably kidnapped themselves.

What an enjoyable episode from front to back.
One minor touch: I assumed the title sequence in the first episode were just a placeholder (as is so often the case), but I guess they're going to stick with the footage used changing every episode at least for the time being. I really liked the justice ash tray on this one. As dumb/minor as it sounds, I look forward to a super cut and/or GIF set of them all once the season's done.

I liked the scene where he was building the voice-changing device. It was like a super-low-tech version of those "Walt Does Science" scenes in BB. And of course the device didn't work at all.

Jimmy says exactly that kind of corny thing all the time! That line belongs right where it is as long as you've got Odenkirk to deliver it just so.

"Nacho is notcho man."
To my mind, this fits right in there with "Listen, Starlight Express, " when he first encounters the biznatch brothers and when he calls the detectives Cagney and Lacey.
There's something Odenkirk does with the corny/highly dated pop culture references that really works for me.

The scene with the Kettlemans when they get the phone call felt so much like an old VG X-Files episode.
I thought the hair and make-up crew did a great job in the flashback. It's really hard to make a 50-year old man look half his age but I think they did a very good job of capturing that without being obvious.
Excellent work all around.

I wasn't so surprised at the "softer side" of Mike. More like he ran a calculation and that was the result. And on BB it was always Walt who annoyed the hell out of Mike; I had the sense Mike understood Saul for what he was and was like, no problem, whereas he felt Walt was dangerously unpredictable.

This was a really great episode overall, but the scene with Mike and Jimmy on the stairs, the dialogue seemed really artificial and expository. Just jumped out at me as unnatural. Mike's all of the sudden "oh, let me tell you about one time when I was back on the force", seems very out of character. Though I loved Jimmy's response to Mike right before that; so happy someone believed him, but then "well, just playing Devil's advocate, all their cars are still at the house?"

I am so tired of these spoileriffic AMC promos. Just this last episode alone they gave away the fight with Mike, the "sex robot" punchline, and the arrest of Nacho. Were the ads for Breaking Bad this revealing?
Also, to cross-post from the prior thread: it finally hit me who Tuco and Jimmy were reminding me of during that desert negotiation scene. "He has no respect!", indeed.

Could this have been a case of him reading the scenario (Hmm...these people likely did kidnap themselves, and are probably holed up somewhere with a bag of cash, and this is probably the only guy that knows where he is), so he's reaching out with a little "Hey, this one time..." to win Saul over, and in so doing get a piece of the action.
If that's the case, very Mike.
But maybe I'm reading way too much into it. If so, then I'd agree it was abruptly expository.

I also really hate the next-week promos, I think they ruin a lot of the drama inherent in a good TV show like BB or BCS. Heck, they even ruin a lot of the drama in a shitty TV show like The Walking Dead. The worst promo-spoilers I ever saw were Dexter, where they would basically give you a full-blown synopsis of next week's episode. So I stopped watching them unless I accidentally don't turn off the TV after the credits start to role. I don't know what the guidelines are here, but I think it would be nice if people refrained from including the promo material for the next episode in the discussion.

He might do that with Jessie or Walt after they were already deeply involved, but to go up to Saul at this point and be like "here's how it is, see" is out of character, to me.

So what do other people think is the story with Jimmy and Kim?
It's my guess that they met in law school. They clearly had a romantic relationship. She seems significantly younger than him, but the cold open makes it seem like he was probably a nontraditional law school student.
Loved Mike's Eyebrow of Doom in Jimmy's direction after Jimmy let himself out the gate.

I think that Mike, as of the premiere of this series, no longer cares about a piece of the action, and is probably living in Albuquerque because that's where his kid(s) and also possibly his granddaughter Kaylee? live. I think he knows the value of a different perspective, could see that Saul needed it, and offered it up. I don't think he has any interest or need to win Saul over. At least, not yet.
(I thought Kaylee was supposed to be 6 or 7 in the scenes from Breaking Bad, but it appears the child actress was born in 2000, so she'd be alive in 2002, when this show starts.)

There's been some discussion about how there's a paucity of strong female characters, a criticism I'm inclined to agree with.
Something is nagging at me that maybe Betsy Kettleman is really the brains of their embezzlement operation. Craig Kettleman had access to the funds, sure, but at every critical juncture in their contact with Jimmy, she's been the one to step in make the call - not signing the contract for legal services, then she's the one to grab the duffle bag and fight with Jimmy over it. Craig puts sexy robot voice on speakerphone for her. Maybe it's an equal partnership in crime, who knows? But I suspect she's calling the shots there.

I also just had a little chuckle to myself over the choice of song the Kettlemans were singing with their kids.

I mean, why not "Wheels on the Bus" or "99 Bottles of Beer"? Of course.
Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake.

My guess: Chuck's wife.
O.k., flashing back to the previously-kicked garbage can in the parking lot elevator bay (it bore the scars of a previous encounter before Jimmy went upstairs, and which he glanced ruefully at) that Kim carefully rights and puts back in its place after Jimmy leaves...
...it would appear they've taken a run at cashing out Chuck from the partnership before, and that didn't work, either. See, they're (she and Chuck) separated but she's waiting to get him cashed out of the partnership so she gets a share as part of a divorce settlement. Jimmy, meanwhile, looks like he's doing all this out of concern for his brother.
Or, affair or no, maybe they're both worried that the partners are going to deem Chuck as having abandoned his post, thereby violating his end of the partnership agreement, in order to take the cheap way of getting rid of him. But since Chuck won't formally withdraw himself, Jimmy tries to bluff it to see if that'll work.
Meanwhile...they keep things on the DL, and have to make do with "sexy robot voice" while waiting for their plan to bear fruit. Both being lawyers, they don't have to lie if deposed about the existence of a "physical relationship," in the event of divorce proceedings, 'cuz sexy robot voice doesn't count.
I've had far too much coffee today.

Nah, I don't think Jimmy and Kim are in a current relationship, even a hushed-up one, though they clearly have had an intimate connection at least at one point.
I don't know if I buy the "Chuck's wife" thing, either, though it is intriguing. She does seem to care about Chuck, and her first thought was about Chuck when Jimmy called her at 2 AM. Then she stayed on the line, mildly interested but mostly just tolerating the conversation (until he got to his point about the Kettlemans which got under her skin). I just don't see that conversation happening that way if they were currently attached.
At the same time, Kim is pretty conventionally attractive and Jimmy did not exactly have game a few years later when his idea of hitting on his receptionist was to offer to follow her home "for safety!"
Kim is fascinating, and I look forward to more development of her character, but I'm okay with the fact that they're drawing it out slowly.

I think we'll find that Mike got into the drug world for reasons of necessity, not because it suits him. Maybe we'll find out that there's a pressing need with his granddaughter, and not simply an issue of wanting to leave her an inheritance.

I'm going with: met in law school, had an occasional FWB thing going on (he was interested in more; she wasn't), she ran circles around him academically and got courted by all the top firms while he was busy being a Slippin' Jimmy character - they sort of drifted apart but still saw each other every now and then (and had plenty of run-ins between the court and Chuck's firm). Maybe we'll see some law school flashbacks!

I love the little things that tie in with other things in this show. We've seen Jimmy putting his keys, wallet and phone into Chuck's mailbox and then going inside to see Chuck, who's in a prison of his own making. But here it was Chuck putting his keys, wallet and phone into the metal bin and going inside to see Jimmy, in a real jail. Beautiful.

It was briefly mentioned in the ep.1 thread, but somehow I missed until now the resurrection of the weekly "insider" podcast with VG, the writers, directors and cast members.
This was a big part of my Breaking Bad weekly ritual, and I'm thrilled it's returned with the new show, more or less unchanged. It's great hearing Bob O. talking about the challenges of carrying a show, and the podcast always gives me more appreciation for the level of detail on BB/BCS, which I'd be mostly oblivious to otherwise. Heads up for any big fans not already listening.

mandolin conspiracy: There's something Odenkirk does with the corny/highly dated pop culture references that really works for me.
Slippin' Jimmy then seems out of character, or rather, a different character. His transformation from small-time con-man to low-level lawyer could have come with growing up and growing out of his prior petty crime, perhaps realizing that Chuck wouldn't bail him out forever.
Then again, the "dad joke" phase of life generally comes later, something like a super power related to becoming middle-aged man. One is not simply born middle-aged.
Anyway, back to this episode. One Burqueño (aka a resident of Albuquerque) is mapping locations from BCS, and found that the payphones were a prop. And as my wife noted, The Kettleman house is up near the foothills, but somehow Saul manages to trek all the way down to the bosque, which is across town and about 15 miles away (I selected a random point in the bosque). While you don't see any water, 1) that's sadly not unusual along the bosque, and 2) the trees and terrain are otherwise a give-away. And Odenkirk spoke wistfully of the bosque trail, so they've somewhere been down in that area.

Also, a belated kudos to them for 1) using real, local phone numbers, and 2) doing something with them, even if it is an answering machine that won't ever get answered. But, as might actually be appropriate for a no longer existing (pretending they were ever there) (prop) pay phones, some numbers don't work, even though they have the 505 area code. Someone mentioned that number might not even be real, in terms of New Mexico phone number syntax.
