BB spoilers ahead! I agree and I noted as such in the post. Still in the end wasn't exactly as though Walter outsmarted mike. Mike was the main reason Walters more lame attempts fell flat. Remember it was only the combined efforts and scheming of Walt, Jessie, and Saul that really was enough to overcome mikes protection. Which brings an interesting question to my mind that just came to me now. It seems Saul/jimmy and Mike are going to have a very established relationship much stronger and time tested than what saul had with Walter White. Why did Saul eventually turn on mike and Gus.

I have loved a lot of the episode so far but this one takes the cake. For those who call it an intense episode I disagree though this is my favorite. I thought it was intensely gripping and it felt like the shortest episode of the entire series so far. The simple fact though that we saw him breaking into the officers car coupled with the fact that he is a well established character who always seems to be two steps of everybody else (save maybe for w.w. And Gus) I knew it was a set up. Picture this though only a few days after the murders in which he had already planned his "escape" to Albuquerque, he shows up at his daughters house completely sober. this really leads me to believe that the entire six months he was faking being an alcoholic just so he can set this up. Mike if you are at BB fan already seems to have this aura of invincibility. He skillfully pickpockets that guy with the notebook in just a few seconds and while it is a well-known technique to use a distraction to actually get inside the personal space of somebody is still take deft hands. This worries me though because Mike seems to be better than the sum of its parts. He is an ex cop, adirty one,and as far as we know that is the extent of his skills. Yet whether it be taking on Walter White, criminals ambushing a drug shipment, dirty cops and even lawyers he always seems to be better than everybody. is his. character too strong, so to speak?
