Episode 1 with Peter Gould, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks & Minkie Spiro (director)
In the opening scene with Gene in Omaha, after Gene gets out of the hospital and is in the taxi where the driver seems to have ID'd him... the street that Gene gets out is the same street where Jesse's parents house was. Not in the show, of course, because one scene is in Omaha and the other is Albuquerque. But they've been shooting in Albuquerque for so long, they're starting to have trouble with locations overlapping. So the director was told to avoid shooting that house.
Mike's house (in real life) was probably built in the late 19th century and theres a block out front that's for getting on and off a horse or carriage.
Keri Condon, who plays Mike's daughter in law, was a jockey in Ireland and raced horses.
Mike getting to sit at home, he figured he'd be able to collect a paycheck and watch baseball. But Jonathan Banks said Mike is a Phillies fan and they tanked that year. I'm not sure if we have a definate date for when season 4 takes place, but the worst record I could find for the Phillies for the early-mid 2000's was 2002 when they finished under .500 and 3rd in the division. Every other season in the early 00's, Philly was pretty decent
Jonathan Banks said hes been drinking Pabst out of the refrigerator in that house for years, and if theres any viewers out there who have anything to do with Pabst, he figured "Those miserable motherfuckers would've sent him a 6 pack at some point".
EPISODE 2 with Peter Gould, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, Mark Johnson, Thomas Schnauz (writer) & Michelle MacLaren (director)
In the opening scene, we see the doctor that treated Gus in Breaking Bad (in the episode after Salud). Originally, they were going to shoot a much larger scene for this episode that showed how Gus originally met the Doctor, at an airport somewhere and how Gus recruited him. But it was deemed "too big", so they left that part for offscreen.
Neff Copiers (the copy store with the Hummel figurine) was empty, there was nothing there. The show built a business that looks like it's been there forever.
Theres a scene in this episode with Kaylee on a swing. It's a direct callback to Breaking Bad 507 Say my Name, the episode where Mike sees Kaylee for the last time. They lined up this shot to be the same
Everytime theres a painting on a wall, a tattoo or even graffiti, it has to be cleared by lawyers for rights
This was the episode with Kim's amazing scene in Howard's office. They basically just talked about how amazing she was, nothing we didnt already know. I really wished Rhea had been in this episode so she could've talked about that scene. Patrick Fabian did say they rehearsed it, but it was nothing like when they shot the scene
Theres a lot more in each episode, but those were the highlights. So far, I've liked the commentaries from the earlier seasons better. But that's probably because they had a lot more Vince Gilligan and Michael McKean. Peter Gould is fine in these episodes so far, but Vince Gilligan is by far the best. I'm hoping he's in some of the upcoming episode commentaries. I'm not sure I'm even gonna watch the commentary for episode 3 because none of the main actors are in it.
