• Jonathan Banks tells the Los Angeles Times how he played the episode, "Five-O," saying, "You go back through a lot of things in a lifetime, and that's what you use. I don't want to be maudlin about it, but it's about every friend I've ever had that lost a child and how they ever kept living."

• The Hollywood Reporter learns from Vince Gilligan that his favorite action movie is The French Connection, which has a chase scene that's "as breathless and exciting as anything I'm seeing in 2015. And it's all real -- no CGI!" Gilligan also tells THR that his favorite book is Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five.

• Fansided points out "seven times when Jimmy McGill dropped some knowledge on viewers during season one of Better Call Saul."
