Last season, before Werner got killed, he was telling Mike about his father, who was one of the main architects of the Sydney Opera House. Mike had a triggered-moment, looks like.
Same here. Really hoping they find a way to bring Howard back into the series again in an organic way. Patrick Fabian's a terrific actor, and deserves more screen-time.
I only remembered it thanks to having recently rewatched the previous season but I give the writers credit for either assuming that their viewers are hardcore enough to remember something like or just not caring. I'll take that over some awkward dialogue to remind people what's pissing Mike off.
When the episode was airing on Monday night, I actually had to refresh my memory to figure out why that specific picture elicited Mike's ire at the bar. This sort of recall is a casualty of a hyper-serialized show with an eighteen-month hiatus. Though I guess it's a moot point for the retrospective binge-watchers who will end up being the majority of the viewership.
With Barry Corbin's Acker-character, the idea that anyone working for a bank is so inherently reprehensible that no amount of good works can unstain their hideous soul is definitely facile claptrap (which this show points out).
I’d like it if they just occasionally show more times Jimmy anonymously trolls Howard, and reveal that he is even trolling him during the Breaking Bad time frame!
Poor Howard!
