It was a stupid idea that a person as smart as Mike is supposed to be never would have bothered to try because it's a stupid waste of time. You people are too willing to defend a clearly stupid idea that probably would not have worked by saying that it doesn't matter that it is a stupid idea that probably wouldn't have worked because he could just keep trying the stupid idea that probably would never work.
You're trying really hard to troll the "hardcore fans." I suppose Vince could have spent 2 episodes worth of Mike's scenes showing him surveilling the truck, practicing the shot, and conducting experiments on how cocaine would stick to the tailgate of a truck in various weather conditions for different amounts or time, but you'd probably complain that the show was then "too slow."

Something I noticed that hadn't been mentioned yet was that when the pollos hermanos truck stopped there in the flash forward/opening scene, the stop sign was riddled with bullet holes, but there were no holes when Hector's truck stopped there. Anyone think we'll see a shoot out at that same location later on, or was that just to show how much time had passed, like the shoe string breaking at that moment?

I figured it was just to show time had passed but who knows for sure.

Or he could've called border patrol with a very time and vehicle specific anonymous tip. Save $1k in Coke, several hours laying in hot sand, and the remote chance the plan works.

Exactly

No he couldn't. Hector would know it was Gus if border patrol was waiting. This way it looks like his own guys screwed up.

I gotta laugh at the downvotes for anyone daring to question VG's genius. That's why no one uses the downvote function on the other boards I go to, because everyone knows it's a "butthurt meter"...I actually chuckle whenever it rains downvotes on one of my posts, so don't let me stop anyone from doing it...I'll even downvote it myself, just to help get things rolling 
Back to Mike's "plan"...is there anything that said he HAD to get the coke residue on the truck at that location?? I mean, there had to be easier places he could've planted it, and if they had enough intel to know they'd stop at that location, surely they knew of other places they'd frequent too...
We're all fans of the show, so relax and have a cream soda...

It had to be done sometime between the truck being loaded and the border crossing, and I doubt a truck full of meth is going to make too many stops. This thing is getting way over scrutinized.

Honestly surprised he didn't. You have to admit, the show has covered more ground in the last two episodes than the first two seasons. (hyperbole.. Don't jump my shite)

I don't think you're exaggerating. The first two seasons could've been accomplished in a couple of episodes. They were not an interesting ride.

Pretty much agreed.

Oh come on, Breaking Bad didn't take TWENTY episodes to develop characters.
BCS gets the benefit because BB was so great.
If BB S1 had been as slow as BCS S1 there probably would never have been a BB S2.

He already knew where they stopped to hide their guns before border crossing, once they pull away from there they pretty much have to stop/slow pass under the shoes.
Convincing them the shots were from a distant Hunter, i.e. not a threat is so they wouldnt think twice when he tapped the shoe..
All brilliant

May be a minority opinion here, but I think BCS stands alone on its own just fine.
And I think it's really easy to forget how much the Breaking Bad hype built up in the last two seasons.

No way BCS gets past one season if there had never been Breaking Bad. Hell, I doubt it would have ever been greenlit in the first place.

Look, I like BCS. I watch every episode. But I can't recommend it to anyone that hasn't already watched BB. They just won't get it.

Disagree. If Preacher got green lit then BCS for sure was always going to
