As someone who is been marathoning the show for two days, I must admit that Burt and Michael's characterizations came off as a little jarring in this episode. It just seems strange that Michael was certainly willing to just abandon Saul, and that Burt was going to blame everything on Michael and suddenly become a crazy loner.

Maybe it could make sense given the situation, but it didn't come across like something that grew out of their situation so much as just a switch that was flipped to SHOW they were flipping out rather than the result of an actual flip-out.

I dunno, maybe it's just me.
