Nox Irradiata Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Missed it this week. :ack: The Monday night slot throws off my tv watching. If they would have left it in the Sunday slot that airs after Walking Dead, that would have been a perfect little block of AMC tv for me. I think I'll wait until the next episode airs and watch them back-to-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independent George Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't think Mike has anything to do with the criminal life at this point, and is extremely unlikely to recognize Nacho's name. I think he's just an ex-cop working as a parking attendant in New Mexico to be near his granddaughter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If anything, I thought his ears perked up when the Kettlemen taking themselves were mentioned. Besides, Nacho doesn't seem the type of 'business associate' Mike would have. He seems a bit sloppy, being spotted 2 nights in a row, still having that blood in his van. I bet Mike is in with someone else, and he may even point that person to the Kettlemen after hearing about the self-kidnapping. That is a possibility as well. Another possibility is that Mike is simply what he appears to be at this stage. Jimmy's theory about the self-kidnapping (and being adamant that Nacho is innocent) reminds Mike of the kidnapping case he worked and he simply believed that Jimmy was telling the truth and decided to do the right thing. Personally I would prefer Mike not being just a ticket booth parking attendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independent George Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Personally I would prefer Mike not being just a ticket booth parking attendant.I think it's unlikely that he's anything else right now. What kind of cover job is being a ticket booth attendant? You've got long hours where your presence (or absence) would be noted by cour officers, with minimal chance for extended contact with any criminal conspirators.

It could be a part-time job for all we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't. I could buy them on itunes without it. But I'd really rather watch commercials than pay for it. I may go for that anyway though. I assume you're outside the US, where Netflix has distribution rights? Because that's not an option here.Can you use UK netflix?? Loads of my friends use US netflix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetyrPunkinhead Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Not sure if this is a spoiler thread or not, so Just caught up with 'Nacho'. Quite enjoying this so far, can't wait for Mike to be in it more. Kind of wish Gilligan would at least try to subvert his thus far ubiquitous representation of Hispanic criminals as family-orientated, but otherwise cold blooded unjust psychopaths with a tendency of asking huge things of the protagonist. I'm happy to see Mike as ''just'' a parking attendant, I want to see what makes him a crook same as Saul. Agreed. I've got a theory on Mike & Saul... Saul hires Mike to be his PI and sometime in the future (in S2 I'd guess), one of Saul's clients is tied to Gus Fring. Mike is made an offer to "move up" by becoming Fring's security and takes the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzanadra Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That brings up an interesting point... do you guys think Gus will make an appearance at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber of Peace Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Unless thry are also planning a Gus spin off show, I guess they certainly have to tie Mike to him at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetyrPunkinhead Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm not going to say it is a foregone conclusion he'll show up, but let's just say they're three episodes in to this series and already going heavy on the Breaking Bad characters. So I'd be more shocked if he did NOT eventually show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3CityApache Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 That brings up an interesting point... do you guys think Gus will make an appearance at some point? I thought it was a given. I'm sure I even read somewhere, that his role is going to be "substantial". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox Irradiata Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Got caught up on Episode 3 last night. Not as strong as Episode 2 for me, but still loving this show. The tent scene was pretty awesome. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Kind of a transition episode but I thought it might have been the funniest one yet even if a little weak compared to the last two. The Slippin Jimmy flashback was hilarious, I fell for both of his cons (watch and billboard) I feel like an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm really amazed how much I'm enjoying this show. The pilot was such a slow start to a show I didn't think anyone wanted. But I'm hooked now. I like watching Saul trying to break good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me.That scene with Chuck running in the space blanket was both hilarious and tense. I love how they showed both perspectives. And there was some great dialogue this episode too. I thought it was on par with what we've seen so far, even if it were a transition episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I feel dumb for not realizing the billboard stunt was staged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Missed the watch thing (I thought the fat guy was going to hit him when he first stood up), but got the billboard thing. Also, Saul had some real balls this episode. Standing up to Nacho and going against Hamlin (Hamlindigo should've lost him that meeting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
