This.

Agreed.

But... one of the things that made Breaking Bad so great was that the events were so unpredictable. Kim getting fed up with Slippin' Jimmy almost seems too telegraphed. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Gilligan has something more shocking in mind. I don't think she necessarily dies and even I could write her character out of this script. But I don't think a writer with Gilligan's chops has it in him to simply move on from her character without something more gripping happening. It's a golden opportunity and I don't see him wasting it.

Perhaps Kim turns a blind eye for a while, and the law partnership between her and Jimmy gets too shady, arouses suspicion and they both get disbarred. She leaves the practice of law (and Jimmy). And Jimmy become Saul in order to continue practicing under a new identity.

Thought about Jimmy getting disbarred and using Saul as an alias but there is a problem with that story arc.

It would only work if Jimmy moved.

He's already known in the local courts.

In BB, Saul told someone , casually, that he used to be Jimmy McGill, but changed his name to Saul Goodman to pretend to be a Jewish lawyer, as they are more in demand.

As an aside...Mad Dogs on Amazon is worth checking out, if you are a fan of WTF just happened TV drama.

It is all good man.

Chuckie turns into a carrot a stalk of celery or a tomatoe.

Kim dont croak but somehow they splitsville.

Hector has a stroke...brought on by Mikey.

Just watched this weeks episode. It is getting good.

What is up with Jimmy's brother, is he allergic to light?

Ziggythecat · 04-12-2016, 05:19 PM

Going to be hard for Hector to have that stroke now.
Remember the scene with Hector peeing in his bosses pool in BB, when Gustavo and his soon to be dead partner come to the meeting to try and sell their wares to the cartel.
Hector was muy macho...no stroke victim then.

He's allergic to electricity , radio waves, or anything with a battery.....or so he thinks.

That was a flashback scene and not really established how far back so as far as we know it's already happened.

You could be correct.

I remember hector looking pretty young in that scene compared to in Saul

More telling perhaps would be to go back and look at the cars parked in the driveway. I don't remember exactly what they were

?

Yup, I was starting to get bored and they pulled that episode, and now you enjoy it because you care about the characters, after all the buildup. Just like BB, really... Well played !

Thinking the 911 call from the copy store will create more $$ problems for Jimmy via the photocopy clerk...
Was that Mike's car hidden behind the sign that the driver saw before getting tied up ? I wondered if it was his or a "loaner" but could not tell... could be bad for Mike.

I think a copy of one of the docs from chucks will show up.

Likely from the copier place.

In the scenes for next week Howard has a document in his hands while on the phone asking Jimmy if he had something to do with it.

Mike did not use his own car, he's too smart for that.

Agreed, but they made a point of showing it as the last thing the guy saw... I can't recall
what car that was... Either way it's moot as the other guy knows.... something will come back to mike !
Show's getting good!!!

Mike shoots Hector but it only cripples him.

I'm disappointed with the season ending episode. Didn't really offer any big surprises or cliffhangers. I was expecting Mike to follow through with his "execution" plan (pun intended!) Nothing substantial on the Jimmy/Kim front either...

Gotta wonder who left the note.

Was it Gus?

This will shed very little light..and keep us coming back for season 3

Some of u boyz have attention spans of Tse flies. You need action to keep your attention or you lose interest and fall asleep. is it the conditioning of dumbing down content by the media over the decades or is it your own innate lack of intellectual capacity?

The cliff hanger is that Chuck has Jimmy on tape, and who left the note for Mike? The hole of plusability that begs credibility is how did Gus get on to Mike and his plan? In this series small things add up that move the plot along. Maybe one can call it minimalism.
