It's so good, even though we know (almost) the end of the story. Obviously, the Gene stuff is totally up in the air, and that's incredible, but goddamn are they knocking it out of the park with the prequel stuff.

But I never understood fast-forwarding movies much less shows. Yeah. I know a guy who fast-forwarded through "all the Skyler scenes" on Breaking Bad. It represents a mindset that's just completely alien to me. I think I can comprehend murderers' reasons for doing what they do better than I can scene-skippers'.

I'm pretty terrible about predicting TV shows, so this is probably wrong, but I think I know how Fring is going to be introduced to the show next season. Think about what we know about Fring, and the people he hires. He likes people like himself; talented, professional, ambitious and independent. We know he has connections with the local business community, so he would be aware of goings on in that arena. Like if a major law firm hosed up and pissed off their client. The first time we will see Fring in Better Call Saul, it'll be when he's hiring Kim to handle the legal side of opening a new Los Pollos Hermanos location.

I get the feeling that they set up the ammunition as being bad for shooting through a window exactly to create ambiguity here- is Mike not shooting to spare Nacho, or is it because he knows the ammo is too light to pierce straight through a man and reliably hit the one behind him?

I get that the note is going to lead to future developments, but we've seen Mike plan to murder someone twice now and back out. Obviously he'll get there, but the show's teasing a lot more development than it's giving us, just as it's done with Jimmy's story. I like the show a lot, but the pace feels less deliberate to me and more stretched out. Kim's development this year was really stellar though, no complaints at all about her.

drunken officeparty posted:It was definitely the driver. That's right. I thought Nacho said they already got rid of him, but that was just the good samaritan. My guess for the tape recorder resolution: Due to being under too much tin foil and/or some convenient rustling sounds, the audio quality is too lovely to prove anything.

If he turned in the tape, it seems like Jimmy would probably have enough plausible deniability that it would be tough to convict or disbar him, but it would pretty thoroughly trash his reputation. Once his reputation is completely ruined as far as anyone legitimate is concerned, changing his name and openly being a piece of poo poo like Saul Goodman might make a lot of sense.

After thinking about it, there's really no obvious candidate for someone that would be watching Mike besides Nacho. Nobody else would think of him as a person of interest. Nacho told us that Hector Salamanca basically forgot about Mike as soon as he left with the $50,000. Unlikely that Hector would have told Gus or anyone else about Mike since it was such a minor incident. He didn't connect the truck ambush to Mike either. There's the gun guy but again it seems really unlikely he ratted on Mike to Gus or anyone else. He's selling Mike a weapon that Mike will use to assassinate somebody; he wouldn't be in that business for long if his business model was selling out assassins. That leaves Nacho as the obvious guy to set someone up to watch Mike, but that theory has some problems too. First, it means Nacho told someone else about Mike, and that someone else was loyal enough to Nacho not to tip off the cartel. We haven't met that guy yet, and if such a person exists, then that's who Nacho would have turned to for Tucco. Second, if Nacho was behind the note I think he would have just shot Mike and been done with it. He's been chummy with Mike but not to the point where I think he'd be fine having Mike scoping him out. Third, it's hard to see Nacho as the Gus connection because the show has presented him as somewhat of a lone wolf among the cartel guys, which wouldn't be the case if he was rolling with Gus' crew. I think the explanation we're going to get from the show is along the lines of: Gus has already been watching Hector Salamanca because he hates the guy and is looking for an opportunity to end him. Maybe he's got somebody like Victor who is basically doing what Mike's doing. In which case they may have seen Mike doing his business long before Mike ever saw them. Gus wants personal revenge against Hector; Mike sniping him would spoil his revenge. At the same time, Gus might see Mike as an ally (the enemy of my enemy...) which would explain why he'd warn Mike off rather than kill him outright.

Gus could have someone watching Hector and other cartel people. Maybe his people see Mike pop up at various places and they make some connections and then Gus reaches out to mike via the note.

When Jimmy had a waiting room full of old people and Kim came out to see it I was wondering whether that's going to cause some angst between them since Kim will likely not be too pleased with that if she has to bring nice, uptight high-end (not old) clients in to the office. And then when Jimmy turns the whole place into a big fake capital building with the constitution written on the wall...

CubanMissile posted:Goddamn Chuck used his brother's love for him as bait for a trap to get him arrested and disbarred. I don't think I could feel sympathy for this guy even if Jimmy did something like gently caress his wife. I hope Mike steals that lovely tape and Chuck has the most embarrassing electronic meltdown possible in the middle of the trial. Then a flash forward to the future where the firm of Ernesto and Omar dominates the ABQ legal scene by just being good dudes. Came here to post this, especially the first part. What makes Chuck so despicable isn't his arrogance or mistreatment of Jimmy, it's that he's willing to turn Jimmy's good heart/brotherly love into a weapon. And for what? Chuck isn't getting Sandpiper back- it's purely out of revenge. Jimmy can be lovely but his goals are ultimately good. Chuck is just a vile little poo poo.

I don't think Kim has any objection to old folks being in the office. If anything, the clientele contrast helps sell their story of why they're not one firm ("we like working together but we specialize in different fields of law" will sound better to her corporate clients than "I can't trust my good friend Jimmy not to be a loose cannon"). But she was miffed at being, at least for a moment, treated like a receptionist. Jimmy had a pretty good reason to ask her to help this time, but if it keeps happening (and it might if she doesn't get more clients), it could grow into a larger tension.
