I can see Jonathan Banks in the role of Mike as a running gag, showing up every time Walt is about to do something stupid to throw him in his car.

[@RyandBurtson]

I’m loving that idea so much lol. That’s hilarious. Walter’s about to go to Gus’s house to shoot him and instead of getting the “Go home, Walter,” phone call, Mike pulls up and throws him in the car. By season 5 he’s so used to it that when he sees Mike pull up, he just opens the back door and gets in on his own.

The "Yknow you act like you're the first guy this has ever happened to. I caught my second wife sleeping with my step-dad! It's a cruel world, Walt! Grow up!" quote is absolutely one of the most underrated Saul Goodman quotes (Because it's true) Also, in Better Call Saul, they keep up the continuity with that one single line by referencing that Jimmy has previously been divorced (at the scene when he and Kim are getting married). It's crazy their attention to detail. Or maybe Jimmy/Saul just has always had a secret backstory only known by the writers between childhood and the events of BCS, who knows

We're in the Golden Age of Television because dumb ass Network Television executives (like the ones at ABC) are no longer the Gate Keepers to what we see on TV. That's because of HBO with The Sopranos and The Wire. Everything else that's happened afterwards is due to those 2 shows. FX, Showtime, AMC, Netflix saw what was possible, and the result is the best TV ever. A dumbass Network Executive would see the pilot for a Breaking Bad or Mad Men and say, "Where's the laugh track so that the audience knows it's funny? Where's the transitional music to cue the audience that one scene is over and another has begun?"
