very good camera work
Go back and watch Mike's opening segment. It's all thematically connected with lines.
-opens with the guy playing the word search game
-lines of letters containing hidden words (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
-the word being circled is "trajectory"
-definition of trajectory is about paths, lines, courses, from one point to another
-a metaphor for how we are finally finding out how the Mike we are introduced to in Saul came to work for Gus Fring as we know from Breaking Bad
-they're showing us his trajectory
-all the camera shots and settings and landscapes are bisected horizontally or vertically by lines
-the out of focus lights across the skyline, the centerline markings of the road shown going by, the electrical power plant is all lines, etc
-they beat us over the head with lines in every shot
-start looking for the lines. You'll see them

-the theme also bleeds over into Saul's segments in this episode too
-with the WM logo he paints
-simple lines forming the first letters of Wexler McGill
-he asks the secretary if the lines are straight and there's the obvious joke about his lines being crooked
-he also makes a joke about it looking like a stock market crash
-another metaphor for this series of lines symbolizing his trajectory
-trending down, as we know, towards the serious criminal he will eventually become
-also remember that he painted over the happy rainbow to put up the trajectory metaphor

You should post that on your tumbler account, you'd get hundreds of reposts.

What if the Lines were Signs?
