If you watched the roundtable above, they get into that. Jonathan Banks is not an actor who likes improv. He wants things laid out and rehearsed ahead of time. He bitches about working on Hangover II, saying he told the improv heavy cast 'I'm going over here, you guys do whatever it is you're doing. When you're through, tell me my cue and we'll go.'
Odenkirk also noted that there was considerable debate when a line was changed from 'last Wednesday' to 'last Tuesday' in the written script
For positive or negative, these episodes are writer's vision episodes. They have specific marks and lines and camera angles that they seek to tie together into a coherent narrative from a precise POV.
There are other approaches, but the one RobBlake ascribes to BCS is accurate.
