***Official "Space Blanket" for Better Call Saul*** (1 Viewer)

I'm bummed to watch Nacho go from bad ### to little #####. And I don't see how he gets out since we know Gus is only going up.

Why is Kim hanging out in Court??????????????????????

The Mesa Verde work, while lucrative, is transactional law work that is very dry, likely very boring, and probably doesn't provide the sense of emotional fulfillment as it's not providing some life change service (such as getting an innocent person off as a public defender, reuniting a mother with her kids, suing some big corp on behalf of the little guy, etc.) and the competitive high of litigation/trial work. 

I think she always admired Jimmy because he ventured into these areas and, in a way, lived vicariously through him.  With Jimmy not practicing she needs an outlet. 

 
When the judge started telling Kim about the "big case" I said "wtf" and paused it.  My wife asked me what I was doing.  I told her "that's the plot for 'The Verdict'."

:grad:

In the BB episode where Walt and Jesse first meet/kidnap Saul, Saul says something about "Ignacio".  People have speculated he was talking about Nacho.

Here is the line, it comes right when Jesse and Walter, under ski masks, threaten to kill Saul in the desert:

Saul on knees looking at the grave they dug: "Talk to me. Come on, talk to me, guys, huh? Come on, just tell me what you want. Jesus! Oh, no, no, no! No, it wasn't me. It was Ignacio. He's the one. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no."

===================

If this is Nacho Saul is talking about, it seems to indicate he is going to live many more years.

 
I didn't love this episode. the Salamanca boys going all terminator and the Mike/Gus showdown at the end were great. but Kim in court, Mike in the warehouse, Jimmy in the cell store...meh.

 
I don't think so.

Office

The storefront had a brick facade and appeared to be in the middle of a plaza, not in a corner. I looked for a picture but couldn't find one quickly.

Wow. While I like the action and tension, it's the little things like you mentioned that make the show great to me.

They could have completed ignored Jimmy & Kim this episode and just filled it with more Mike.. :thumbup:

Anything with Mike is great... getting to a point where I wish the show was "better call Mike" and Jimmy was the 2nd act. :oldunsure:

You could say that now but I don't think it will be long until Saul really shows up.

Mike continues to be great though.

 
Loved the cold opening.  In the BB timeline, that was right before Saul went into hiding.  He had the same purple shirt and busted nose (that Jesse gave him) he had at the beginning of Granite State.

I was watching the episode recap and found it interesting that while BCS is normally shot digitally, the first scene is shot on film just like in BB.  Kudos to Gilligan and Co. for sparing no expense.

 
Was that Jesse's car (with the hydraulics) at the Dog House? 

Always thought they should put in a shot of Walt's Aztec driving by in the background of a scene to see if anyone catches it. 

 
Dumb question. So he rings up these phones as sold?

Did he actually buy them and sell for profit?

Was he selling them for cost.

Did he steal them?

I'm hoping Jimmy represents a few of them & they don't remember.  Orrrrrrr Jimmy meets up the motorcycle gang & them being so happy with the phones they ask if they can do him any favors.

This was my favorite episode for the new season.

My highlight for last season was when he was trying to get fired & broke out the bagpipes & flooded the toilet.

 
On the Jesse / Walt car stuff I see mentioned above, do we even know where we’re at in the timeline?  Like, couldn’t Jesse be like 14 at this point in the story?  We don’t really have a point of reference do we?

The newspaper Chuck stole in season 1 had a 2002 date on it.  Which is probably about when Jesse was in high school.

That's the thing. We're breaking ground on Gus's mega lab & Slippin' Jimmy is still 9 months away from legally being allowed to become Saul. Nothing i get from watching BB tells me that Gale Boetticher ran SuperLab all that long, so we got a major chronological slip-up here. Walt & Jesse are already or about to start trailer-cooking and you Can't Call Saul yet.

I blame Kim. She was supposed to be a 2-3 episode arc and the writing crew fell in love with her and knocked the whole thing off course. They had the Gus/Mike arc set but kept stretching the Kimmy/Jimmy/Chuck triangle and boom. Oh well, that's what women are for, to interrupt men's best-laid plans

Walt and Jesse start cooking in 2008.

As mentioned, Chuck's newspaper was 2002. So it is 2003 at latest now.
