“There was at least one other time that I remember ... and it involved almost the same people!”

And the same location, too, IIRC.

For me it would require multiple viewings in order to determine just what ‘the message’ is in these opening scenes.

The one where Saul tosses the ice cream cone onto the sidewalk because he was essentially kidnapped, and then the focus on those ants was remarkable. I think that Gilligan loves to provoke us into figuring out just what we are supposed to be on the alert for. In my case, I just want to watch it in order to see what happens next. I have to figure out the ants, the rain in the desert tinkling the glass, and the blue flowers later.

It is a very cool Program. Hey, I am still trying to figure out the real meaning of the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. That was 28 years ago.

OK, Marcellus Wallace sold his Soul and wanted it back. Everyone who viewed the contents of the briefcase got it at once. It was weird stuff, but it is now immortal. QT thinks that he is funny with that stuff, but who can deny his brilliance?

You're right. I didn't notice the little stone building at first.

We know there's at least one body buried there already.

Watching the opening the first time, I wondered why the camera paused here:

Now I know that hump is where Nacho is buried.
