I'm kind of concerned about how long this show is going to be able to run before Mike just looks too old. The actor is 69 now.

I guess that's a problem for all of the characters that are also in BB, but I think with Mike most of all.

Was thinking the same exact thing last night.  He's got a ton of creases on the back of his neck.

How many years before BB is this show?

BB itself only took, what, slightly over a year?

 
So the going thought is the reason he decided to air the commercial without running it past the partners is he was worried they'd say no.. So decided to go with it and just hope it worked :confused:

He was worried they would say no, and he saw how crappy their previous ad was, where they spent a lot of time on getting the swirl pattern the way they wanted it.  He thought he would be impelled to put Something out there that was completely ineffective and once they saw how effective Jimmy's ad was, they would see the light and see that Jimmy's way was the best.

Right,

I often do this at work, perhaps not with the same major collateral damage but I live by:

I'd rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. 

99.9 % of the time it always works out anyway and I avoid the asking, and getting 16 other people inputting dumb ideas, 46 emails 3 meetings and delaying me for 3 weeks.

The other .1% I just say my bad and we move on.

OK, I get his way of thinking there.

I'm on the opposite realm of thinking at work.. Although I don't ask for "permission" per-say, I do run it past the team first before I do it..

Then again, any changes I make will affect over 15,000 people so caution is best used before you "blow things up"  ;)

The idea that someone is driving by the house and firing 3 shots is not realistic so we sort of know that it's not real. At the same time they make sure to frame it like its possible by having Mike around. The paper tosses I thought showed that it was all in her head to the audience. 

That actress is not so good, super weak compared to the rest of the cast. Easily the worst actor/actress with more than a couple lines in both BB and BCS.

That's interesting and as a fan of both shows i should know better. I've had a tough time with that character going back to last season. I didn't notice a deep layer last season in that character but you're saying you feel like she is getting ready or the character is about to do something some might not see coming? 

With BB, I binged seasons 1-5, watched the last couple week to week, binge watched BCS and am now going a week at a time...driving me crazy. I want that morning meeting now. I want to see Mike and Nacho start getting into cahoots, that's going to eventually lead to I'm guessing you know who eventually. 

Kerry Condon is the actress, don't know her well, not a big fan to this point. Happy she isn't the center of the show.

I must have missed this. I saw the money tossed on the counter but I must have BB flashbacks, I thought this was just money he gave her after the son was murdered because of his granddaughter. You are saying that she is squeezing Mike for more money? I don't understand why she would do that when he is giving her what looks like a decent amount. 

I thought they had a moment and he basically said he handled the killers and I felt like she accepted that answer from him.

The actor who plays Nacho does an outstanding job, very authentic looking and sounding. Nacho is not stupid and I wouldn't underestimate his character or what he might be capable of. 

The idea that he and Mike will work together in upcoming episodes is reason to be excited. I like both of those actors and characters, it's a delight when they share screen time.

Please stop talking.

 
Easily one of the best episodes of the series to date. Won't spoil much for the West Coasters but it was the most satisfied I've been at the end of an episode in some time. 

@shuke ...sorry you feel neglected as of late. I'll work on something special for you.

Chuck is a super passive agressive #######.  Punishing Kim for something Jimmy did was out of line, especially after Jimmy told Chuck that she had no idea that the ad was not approved.  

 
Great episode.  Loved the Mike and Tuco encounter.   Makes me want Jimmy to quit the firm and go full Saul Goodman on us asap.

Didn't Howard punish her for not disclosing what she knew when she disclosed during the meeting that she knew about the ad and did not know that Jimmy had the approval of Davis and Main?

Not sure how this is on Chuck.

She implied that she knew more than she did and Howard punished her....but you could see from Chick's expression that he was on board....after Jimmy explained that he had misled Kim, Chuck was saying that it still makes no difference...

It wouldn't be the first time Chuck used Howard as a puppet
