Can't be long til Huell shows up.
My favorite part of the ep - coming in like a lamb. Now BCS has its own Martha-from-Baskets. Being a hermit, i dont really know - is this a type now? Semi-pleasing plumptons who just give up and decide to be MVPs for at least that bit of attention? They were rare in my day (though prevalent in the nurse community in which i did most of my prowling) but would always find a way to throw themselves desperately at me at some dark point. Do they get enough from always being "OK, yeah" now that they dont have to pent it all up? Hope so....
I think seemed like is an understatement. They hit you in the face will it. Mike tells Jimmy specifically that he "leaves the bag and I need you to see who he leaves it with" and he doesn't leave the bag. At this point Jimmy is the worst PI in all of history; only white guy in the place, wearing a suit and he follows him around the restaurant, literally, and he can't stop staring at him.
Then as soon as he dumps his waste leaves Jimmy starts digging through the trash? The fact that Gus spotted Jimmy and called off the exchange is reinforced when Jimmy in his account to Mike says "he ate his food as fast as he could and left." And...ETA: Forgot about Gus going outside to see, and hear the whine, of Jimmy's car as he leaves.
Jimmy is us, much as Walt was in BB - intrinsically knowing the way to heaven but equivocating it into a path to hell.
Agree completely. This show is good.I think seemed like is an understatement. They hit you in the face will it.

This is a brilliant scene paralleling Jimmy's incompetence both as a lawyer and as a PI working for Mike. And yet he shows glimmers of genius: His law firm is thriving as a result of manipulating old people and he made a smart quick thinking move by dropping his watch as an excuse for digging through the trash. It's really a wonderful display of his transformation into Saul.
I was particularly impressed at how he was both incompetent and brilliant in his PI work: He couldn't have made it nay more obvious that he was watching the guy, however when Mike asked him what happened he went into such great detail ("paid with cash from his left front pocket").I think seemed like is an understatement.

Yeah, It was a big deal to Hank that there was even a Polo's bag in his apartment.
I had no idea you could do that. Especially with a non-perfect mirror like a side view mirror (imagine the passenger side mirror might be more difficult given it's more convex shape). Very cool.Steed said:
Great uptight run, and really good physical acting in that hopping and scrambling over the wall.
no way in hell the ceo of HMM does that. no way. especially when they're trying to catch jimmy in a B&E
That doesn't bother me. I'm dumb enough to be able to suspend disbelief when I need to.
its not like jimmy wasnt obvious while staring at the guys every move lolneed2know said:
I'm guessing Gus called an audible.Johnny Bing said:
Odenkirk and McKean look tired of doing those scenes.Slapdash said:
That guy looked like about the size Bowen is normally (he lost a ton of weight just to play Uncle Jack). It was his voice more than anything that made me think it was Bowen. Oh well.
Since we know the result of the relationship with Gus and Mike there's no big drama there but I'm curious if Mike started this thinking he would take out whoever was tracking him or if he knew there would be a chance for him to partner with them.tonydead said:
They've already established that he and HMM are willing to go to great lengths to appease their eccentric partner. Hoping a couple fences would seem like a weird place to draw the line.
