    One neat thing to keep an eye on is how Kim's hairstyle changes over time. How tightly wound her ponytail is, for example. The actress herself pointed it out as a detail not many notice.

    A side note, just noticing you’ve called her “the receptionist” a few times - Francesca is Saul’s secretary from Breaking Bad. Another subtle tie-in between the two shows, who’s character development and background is neat to see from its origin.
    If you already knew, apologies. Just wanted to connect that dot for awareness as the show progresses.

    Interesting fact - "Better Call Saul" has three actors from a legendary movie that came out 40 years ago - "Scarface":
    Miriam Colon (Abuelita / Mama Montana)
    Mark Margolis (Hector Salamanca / Shadow)
    Steven Bauer (Don Eladio / Manolo "Manny" Ribera)
    And the movie itself was referenced at least twice in Breaking Bad:
    In season 1:
    Walter: So why you selling it in such small quantities? Why don't you just sell the whole pound at once?
    Jessy: To who? Who do I look like? Scarface?
    In season 5 Walter and Walter Jr. are watching "Scarface" on TV.

    Favourite character? Howard. The actor works so hard early on in getting you to hate him. And succeeds. But the nuanced acting slowly, slowly wins you over, to see he's really a good guy. it's like a concentrated mini reverse version of Breaking Bad all in one...

    I honestly have a hard time choosing a favorite character in this show.
    I hated Howard initially but by the end of the series he's one of my favorite characters.
    Kim is phenomenal. She was nominated twice for an Emmy for her performance on the show.
    Nacho is another huge favorite. How can you not love the dude? Michael Mando killed it. (Side note, he was mentioned by Saul in his debut episode of Breaking Bad.)
    Mike and Gus are basically gods of both series.
    I can't wait for the season 3 finale.

    Seeing Gus and Hector interact before Hector was in the wheelchair is amazing to witness. Also seeing Mike and Chuck in a scene together is fantastic as well. When I first saw this, I didn’t expect the two would have a reason to have them share screen time, but I’m glad we saw them interact, regardless of how small the scene they were in was. Great reaction James, hope you’re doing well. Take care!

    It's funny because while watching BB, I always thought that despite Gus being a force to be reckoned with, he was reasonable. But after watching BCS, I saw the cold side of Gus that was so terrifying and it only reinforced how scary he could be. In the upcoming episodes he has a monologue that gave me literal chills when I heard it.
