Last week had a great shot of Mike checking his car in the desert for a tracker with a thunderstorm rolling in the background. There was another well shot scene this week where Mike is parked on a bridge looking over at one of Gus' men slide down the embankment and pick up something in one of the drainage pipes. Just the wide angle shot and lighting of the whole scene really stood out.

Very little happened last season and tbh, it was only the thought of Gus turning up this season that kept me watching. I find the Chuck character more than annoying - he's just a boring, bratty little pr*ck at this stage. Every scene between him and Jimmy is a slog to watch I find. Just the same crap over and over again. I'm hoping for an exit for his character this season (maybe electrocuted or some such ironic thing). I was so happy to see Gus back. I was afraid they'd keep us waiting until the finale! Hopefully this is the start of some pay off for sticking with the series' (so far) very slow pacing.

People outside the US would even know what the DMV was, maybe not full name but I certainly knew it's where you got the licence and if he had said MVD I would not have had a clue what he was on about. I guess many people in other states would not have known either. So even if the writers were all fully aware they could have said DMV.I wonder is Gilligan really reading sites with pedants and "error searchers" and getting upset by them.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Motor_Vehicles#United_States
pee_diddy 4093 points 1 month ago Hello Vince! Was badger and skinny pete's conversation at Jesse's party about the pizzas not being sliced written in after the fact to explain how Walters pizza landed on the roof intact? Everyone knows a sliced pizza would have come apart. Thanks, Vince! Brilliant show. Gets better every time I watch it.RealVinceGilliganURL="https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/5zrxsx/i_am_vince_gilligan_creator_of_breaking_bad_and/"]S[/URL 7101 points 1 month ago Yes! We had a long discussion before we shot the pizza on the roof scene about whether or not the pizza should be sliced -- because, as all you physicists know, a thrown, sliced pizza would come apart due to centrifugal force or angular momentum (or something like that). And yet, you are right: no self-respecting pizza parlor sells an unsliced pizza. So we figured we needed to explain it (in the 'They pass the savings on to you' scene), or else face our audience's righteous wrath!

It was made very obvious that he was out of his element doing this stake-out in LPHermanos for Mike, no matter how eager Jimmy was to do it. He appeared quite distracted and fidgety since he entered, he barely looked at his food or even touched it, just sipping out of his coffee as he scanned around the room. Then when the guy pulls up outside in the green Chevy, Jimmy is even more alert and it would be obvious to an onlooker (Gus) that Jimmy was tailing the Chevy guy - from hopping up and running over to the condiments station and checking out Chevy guy, to moving to a closer seat once Chevy guy sits down. This is all additional to the fact that Jimmy was the only one in the restaurant dressed in business attire and therefore already standing out no matter how he acted. From what we know of Gus in BB with his honed foresight and the caution he exercises, I wouldn't be surprised if Gus copped Jimmy on the cctv feed from his office very early after Jimmy came into LPH. If this drugs/money drop is a regular thing, I imagine Gus is always on the lookout for suspicious activity just before his henchman arrives. If Gus senses anything is off, then he does exactly what happened in last night's episode - leaves the bag on the floor with Chevy guy who then takes it away from the restaurant. Even though we know the fate of these characters from BB, I still found it a suspenseful scene, especially the more I realised Gus was going to show up at any moment. The show is very good at doing that in fairness, with characters we know aren't going to die before BB, like with Mike when he is in a dangerous or conflict situation.

Advice from all the experts on the shows much appreciated,great thread by the way.
