Amazing episode.
Really, this series is on par with Breaking Bad, IMO. It just continues to get better, and better, and better, and more compelling.
I know what the above implies -- and I'm not stating it lightly. This show has FAR exceeded my expectations, and last night's episode really ratcheted up the intensity.

OK, I have a question. As someone who never binge-watched either show, but as someone who now has plenty of time on my hands, should I start with Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul?

Breaking Bad. Even though Better Call Saul is a prequel, there’s things in it that will make sense if you’ve seen Breaking Bad...but watching it in the other order, you won’t get why these things are a big deal.

I have actually not watched Breaking Bad but I love Better Call Saul. I know there are things that I may miss or not quite understand the significance of, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable for me and is still a great standalone show. That being said, I did decide with all the free time on my hands now to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix. Knocked out the first two episodes last night.

Interesting. I'm not surprised it stands on its own.

Well I'm off from work tomorrow, so I most definitely will not be leaving my couch all day.

Holy shirt...as always, the penultimate episode is a high watermark for everything in the BB universe. The intense standoff at the end of this episode rivals the best of anything ever in the entire saga. Wow.

Episodes #8 and #9 have been about as good as any television you'll ever see in a drama.
Amazing.

Patton Oswalt Demands an Emmy for Rhea Seehorn in 'Better Call Saul'
'Better Call Saul' has been nominated for Emmys, but none recognizing Rhea Seehorn or her role as Kim Wexler. Patton Oswalt wants that to change.

Agreed, Patton.

You just got to wonder, what did Gilligan have way back in his head when Saul first name dropped Lalo and Nacho on Breaking Bad?
Some of this has certainly evolved as they went through it, but I have to believe it was much more than a throwaway name drop.
It’s funny you mention that. Gilligan addressed Lalo’s introduction into the show in an extra that I recently watched on demand in the spectrum app. It’s called “A Look Back At Season 4’s Easter Eggs.”
Vince basically insinuates that it wasn’t his idea to have Lalo on the show, but Peter Gould and the rest of the writers insisted on it. He was skeptical that it’d be worth it, and thought that not every little thing that received a passing mention in bb needed to come to life on bcs. But Vince admitted that they were right and seemed really happy with how much Lalo adds to the story

So I'm just watching Breaking Bad for the first time and I just saw that scene. If Saul asks if Ignacio or Lalo sent them, should I assume that both are somehow still alive at that time?

Either that...or Saul thinks they’re alive.

Also, I believe the quote in regards to Ignacio was “it wasn’t me, that was Ignacio!”
I wonder if what happened last night on BCS is what he was referring to? Or maybe what happened to Hector Salamanca comes to light?

You're right, he says it wasn't me, it was Ignacio. That must be what he was referring to.
