    I never said the writing was in the same ballpark. All I can tell you is the connection I personally made while watching was Walt going further to the dark side. Nothing more. And I made a comment about it. No big deal.

      I didn't say it was a big deal. I commented back. Not much more you can do on forums.

      But really? An amalgam name of the main Star Wars villian and BB's hero-villian is a reach. Honestly. It's a bit sci-fi geeky. But to show you that I'm flexible.... I made a special pic just for you!

        Will they have a Mike flashback moment to illustrate his bad doings as a police officer?

          Then I guess I'm a sci-fi geek. And an unapologetic one at that.

          Now back to our regularly scheduled Breaking Bad Season 5 thread.

                  Ya....was posted in one of the other season threads before. About the 1st minute is funny, then it seems to not match up as well.

                    Really interested in seeing more Mike and Hank scenes. Had a discussion about this with a friend and we agreed that there might be more similarities between the two then we think.

                    Mike going from upstanding cop to Gus's muscle is one of those story lines that make me wonder how far Hank might go to either protect or out Walt. Because he either already suspects Walt or will figure it out.

                      Really liked the interrogation scene.

                      I don't know if Mike was ever an upstanding cop, but judging from his "no more half measures" speech to Walt in Season 3 he wasn't a total bad guy.

                      As far as Mike-Hank similarities Hank is not the badass that Mike is, and Hank's a pretty tough guy.

                        The only thing I didn't like about the whole interrogation scene is that Mike waived his right to have his attorney present. No proper criminal (especially an ex-cop who knows the law) would EVER do something like that.

                        But then again, that wouldn't have made for great TV.

                          Well, that's my point. Those aren't the similarities I'm talking about when comparing the two.

                          I think we will learn what they are soon, assuming they take the story there. They might not. Only a guess.

                            I see what you're saying.

                            After all this time I just figured out that in his younger days the actor that played Saul was the would be doctor that dumped Elaine.

                              Yup that's him, Bob Odenkirk. He also was the creator of Mr. Show, one of the best unknown comedy shows ever.

                                Remember Mr. Show where they were a rock band and the manager told them to make a porn and it'd increase their popularity and they come back with a tape of Saul having sex with a bunch of guys? LMAO, that was classic!!
