Trivia
Saul Goodman wants the money order for his services to Badger made out to a fictional "Ice Station Zebra Associates," the same name he and Kim Wexler gave their fictitious software company in their second scam in the second season of the spin-off series, Better Call Saul (2015).

Goofs
In the opening scene, when Badger and the cop are sitting on the Better Call Saul bench, some spooky things happen in the background. Specifically, a man and woman couple walk back and forth, but once they walk to the left twice in a row, and once they mysteriously appear from behind the pillar; and a man with a dog and a bicyclist disappear behind the pillar but never reappear. Also, there are a few cuts when a person walks directly in front of the camera.

Quotes
Walter White: I have spent my whole life scared. Frightened of things that could happen; might happen; might not happen. 50 years I've spent like that. Finding myself awake at 3am. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine. I came to realize it's that fear is the worst of it, that's the real enemy. So, get up, get out in the real world and you kick that bastard as hard as you can, right in the teeth.

Bob Odenkirk/Saul Goodman, steals it!

I Mean... there is a reason Saul Goodman got his own show with six stellar seasons, which btw turned into one of the best TV shows ever! Bob Odenkirk perfectly creates the charasmatic, arrogant lawyer that is Saul Goodman! This was a great introduction to him, and I love the references to events in his show, Better Call Saul, and how it ties in with Breaking Bad!

Other than that, this was a fun creative episode that manages to become perhaps the most iconic of season two, right behind the next episode! The way it is shot and directed is just amazing! Very clever written!

We also get some memorable and Important scenes such as Walts talk with Hank and the last scene with Walt and Saul!
