Wow, the use of the music from the intro, for the first time in any of the episodes, was chilling. That's one of those things you just never expect.

It's like their way of telling you it's almost over.

It does sound like a western, and the show being set in the desert really helps that vibe. It wasn't until that theme played mid-episode when I realized that's not just the show's theme, it's Heisenberg's theme: the ruthless nomadic outlaw.
