Lazy writing? Probably unfair to the writers. Spectacular? Definitely not.
Good show overall, but very overrated. Very slow start, it really didn't get the hype till season 5. It had great moments in the middle, with Gus, Tuco, Mike and the Mexicans. Hank was great too, killed off to abruptly. Great story line was lost there.
What happened to Saul's bodyguard? I missed something or did they not show it?

I don't think anything happened to Saul's bodyguard but I don't believe that was a loose end that needed to be tied up.
I believe the show overall has been a little overrated by it's really hardcore fans as while it's been very good and set a high standard I found some of the seasons had a lot of slow points but for the most part it never got corny like Dexter did for instance and was consistently pretty solid. Not the best show ever but it's in the conversation.
I guess I can make one nitpick in that when WW drives to the gate the guy checks the back seat but it never dawned on him to check the trunk? That's the first place I would have looked to ensure he didn't have an accomplice hiding there or explosives. Then the whole gun on a pivot thing was a little far fetched as it was lined up perfectly with the building and these guys ran a pretty good operation so I just don't see them letting him park the car right in front of the house like that without checking the trunk. It didn't ruin the episode or anything but more realistic would have been for WW to just blow the car and house up.
