BCS: "Near honor students, ALL!" Oh man is Saul going to great. The first 15 minutes or so are just brilliant. That whole black and white opening was perfect. The close up shot of his bald spot just felt wrong, Saul (Or "Gene" as he goes by now) should never be without his comb over! IDK how Gilligan does it, but he just knows how to make you feel sorry for men who know they deserve better. When he watches the tape and you can see the colour of the video in his glasses....IT JUST MAKES YA WANNA CRY! Then we go back to the beginning and what a great introduction to Jimmy McGill. The whole courtscene was hilarious, McGill just gives his long winded speech about how "No one got hurt!" and all the other guy has to do was put the tape in without saying a word, I lost it. The people getting up to watch the tape only sweetened the deal.

After that it has to do the usual setting up plotlines and stuff, but its the pilot so we'll forgive it! We got a nice Mike cameo, we meet Jimmy's wacky brother who seems like he should be an interesting character, we meet Jimmy's sworn enemy who also happens to co-own his brothers firm and some chick who could be a possible love interest? WHO KNOWS! And is it me or does anyone else think this is the best directing Gilligan has done? He makes ABQ look sooooo good, he just knows all the right locations!

And then there is the Tuco appearance (Not gonna lie, I squeed). Tuco is probably the best character to bring back since he never got the long stay he deserved on the original series due to the actors other commitments. First time we see Saul in BB he mentions he knows the carthel when Jesse and Walt kidnap him, so I guess he is going to have long dealings with them. Hopefully this is the biggest BB ref we get for a while, don't want to over due it. (And is it just me or did that house Saul drove by before he turned and hit the skater looks like Walt's? Very subtle if it is.)

Can't wait for the next one! Will report back tomorrow.
