I didn’t really notice the coffee cup metaphor. Good catch.
The cup holder didn’t either
Love the scene between Mike and Nacho.
“I think you underestimated just how big of an idiot you were dealing with.”
With Pryce seemingly out of the picture, I wonder when we’ll see more of Nacho. I remember staff saying we’d see more of Nacho in season two, but to what extent, we’re not so sure yet. I wonder how it will tie into Jimmy as well.
Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are good at writing awkward/unintentionally hilarious characters like Pryce.
This show has the perfect blend of drama and humor.
This episode is one giant setup for things to come. The cup metaphor, Kim’s hardline stance, and Saul’s naturally unfettered approach to lawyering are hinting the many ways everything will come crashing down on him.
I was impressed with Mike as per usual. I love how he coolly resolves problems, and in doing so, gains the respect of Nacho. He’s been my favorite character since his introduction.
That guys name is Daniel, so one of the theories is he turns into “Danny” as in “Laser Tag Danny” lol
Glasses lost his drug deal now he has to jerk off over a pie 
Damnit justice can be so fitting sometimes.
He didn’t have to jerk off on a pie, just sit on it, wiggle around, and cry… which is probably worse than jerking off over it.
Don’t have cable. Any mp4 hacks?
This is how great the show’s symbolism is. The first episode, aptly named “Switch”, has several different references. The first and most important one is Jimmy’s nature to switch from upstanding and moral Jimmy to underhanded and sneaky Jimmy. Notice the parallels between the beginning of the episode and the end. At the beginning, he rips off a taped paper on his door in the salon that said, “Jimmy’s Law Enterprise”. This noted his “switch” to Saul. But at the end of the episode after he’s accepted into the new law firm, when he turns the light switch on and off, he leaves the taped paper on it even though it did absolutely nothing. But that part is important too. Everyone by now noticed that him flipping the switch did nothing whatsoever. On and off were the same. This, to me, shows that no matter how much running away he does, he will never escape his old ways. He is one and the same, moral or not. And he’s fine with this, as we see him casually walk away from the switch without further investigating what it does. He even leaves the tape on it knowing that it doesn’t work.
Maybe I’m looking too much into it but it’s little context hints like this that really make me enjoy the show.
Eh, I disagree. The removing of the paper wasn’t his switch to Saul, it was him turning his back on his lawyer side completely, going back to slippin jimmy.
Saul is the marriage of his two halves, Jimmy and James.
Anyway, when rewatching this weeks episode, when Jimmy and Kim are talking in the parking garage, the shadows are really heavily covering Kim. Like her entire upper half is shadowed. The scene is supposed to be them showing how close they are getting, and yet, the imagery shows something going on that is sort of a divide. I mean, I doubt Kim is sabotaging Jimmy, but that shadow is there on purpose. I guess it could just foreshadow the end of episode fight or something.
Oh man… Jimmy is in deep shit after running that commercial without his boss, Cliff’s, permission. Things aren’t looking good for Jimmy already at his new job.
I still don’t understand why he didn’t just wait and ask.
I think he knew Cliff would not have approved and then assumed the amount of new clients would have made up for going behind Cliff’s back. Clearly it backfired and now his boss is fucking pissed. Seems like a rare misjudge from Jimmy.
Another thing I’m finding interesting about Mike’s character is that you would think he’d try to go straight after his son was killed for being a good man in a group of crooked cops. He was obviously very saddened by his son’s death, and now he wants a good life for his granddaughter. Still, we all know that he eventually goes back into a life of some deep, serious shit to help his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, only to fuck up and leave them with nothing.
My absolute favorite part of last night’s episode was Mike playing with the toy he later uses to hang on a door to distract the dude who tried to assassinate him. Talk about a fucking throwback.
my favorite part was them using the old lady’s stair climber as the dolly they needed for the commercial.
speaking of stairs

Considering how many meetings, approvals, and micromanaging they had to do just to put text over a black/blue background, he knew it would never air unless he pulled the trigger.
Who do you think Mike is getting hired to kill? It’s definitely not Tucco, you know, since Mike and Tucco are both alive in Breaking Bad.
