Pepe Silvia Browne posted:"Did you know you have Rights? The Constitution says you do." is one of my all time favorite lines in Breaking Bad. Odenkirk nails the delivery of a guy who is banging out like a dozen of these commercials in an afternoon. Reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwWAsNZTnug Also, what's great about Bob Loblaw, aside from literally every time his name comes up in the show ('That's a low-blow, Loblaw. It's a Bob Loblaw Law Bomb!') is that Scott Baio, when he was asking Mitch Hurwitz about how to act, was told 'don't emote whatsoever, just literally say the lines as unemotional as possible'. I never really noticed it, but yeah, every single time Bob Loblaw is on screen saying something, there's literally no emotion behind it. EDIT for mouthful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOtDNXfMyD0

How old are Jimmy and Kim supposed to be? Rhea Seehorn is 45 and Bob Odenkirk is 54. I could see maybe early 40s for both of them but late 30s seems more reasonable somehow.

I recall doing a bit of poking around on the net after the episode with drifter guy taking advantage of Dad, to identify the date of the Mad Magazine we saw in the store. Turns out it was an issue from 1973. I'm not sure exactly how old Jimmy was supposed to be at that time, but I would guess in the range of ten to twelve, maybe? If you assume that, and if this is 2001, then we get an age of thirty-eight to forty for him at this point.

FogHelmut posted:Whiskey stops aging once its bottled. It could be a 100 year old bottle of 35 year old scotch. I mean, it's weird that the bottle says 1966 on it so prominently, right? Like, that's not how scotch is bottled. It literally says "N years old", not the year of bottling. The writers know scotch well enough to know Macallan and how old is old and expensive. Why would they do this this way?

precision posted:I certainly get the impression that Jimmy and Kim are late 30s at the oldest, maybe even early-30s. I'm guessing probably early 30s because Jimmy had come to ABQ/HHM about ten years previously, when Chuck somehow got him out of prison - and with the hilarious backwards hat and whatnot, Jimmy was clearly supposed to be very young in the prison. They just can't afford any of that fancy de-aging CGI so they settle for going the Dexter route.

I got the impression that he was nervous showing Kim more because this is the slippin Jimmy/Saul persona. Maybe. There was, of course, Viktor and Giselle, but that's a far more sophisticated version--Slippin Jimmy might not go down so easily with her, if you want to look at it that way. But I think when you see him at work when he's shooting, it's clear that he relishes playing the role of filmmaker and that he takes pride in producing something he considers good. He's telling Kim it's "not his best work" and talking about the abuse of star wipes, not "this is just a character; it's not really me."

I kind of doubt it. Especially because there's nothing to explain what the hell he did between age 18 and then besides run some grifts with Marco. I kind of doubt he literally did that for 20 years. I mean the actors are clearly older than who they're supposed to be playing and there's no real way around that considering this show happens ten years before the other one, which aired almost ten years ago. edit: apparently in the prison flashback, he is actually supposed to be 29 according to something Bob Odenkirk said in an interview. Shows what I know. So I guess that makes him 39 in Better Call Saul. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 21:30 on May 16, 2017 |

Bob OdenKirk was 46 at the beginning of Breaking Bad which took place in 2008. If this show is in 2002 right now, that would make him 40. It's entirely possible that between 1992 and the current time in the show that he works in the mailroom at HHM during his 30s and then passes the bar exam at 39.

At the hearing, Hamlin testifies that he's known Jimmy for "nearly ten years." If Jimmy's in his late thirties at that moment, then late twenties for moving to Albuquerque. Depending on how long it took for the infamous sunroof case to get resolved and then how long after that it took Chuck to get him moved after that, you might knock another year off his age to reach the point at which the incident actually happened. That takes him down to, possibly, twenty-seven at that time, or maybe even twenty-six if you want to stretch it. I don't think that seems unreasonable.

Yeah, Chuck is supposed to be at least in his 50's, and it's doubtful that he and Jimmy are more than ~10 years apart. Jimmy is early 40's here and late 40's in Breaking Bad.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:I googled it and apparently sensitivity to batteries isn't even a real thing. I bet that Chuck is faking it or just plain crazy. There are people who claim that they have a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. No evidence it's anything but psychosomatic though. Even then, I don't think a battery (charged or not) actually generates an EM field on its own. You need current to actually flow through a circuit to do that. So really Jimmy could have just called a physicist as an expert witness to explain that it's all in Chuck's head because he reacts to things that don't even generate EM fields. That would make for some really boring television though.

So no one was expecting last week's breakdown to be a moment of realisation for Chuck and lead him down the path of redemption, were they? I can totally see Chuck getting the help he needs, owning up to his mistakes and growing as a person acting as a parallel to Jimmy becoming more and more of a sleazy poo poo stain with no one but Huell and Francesca for company. Jimmy's victory over Chuck will be the moment that saves Chuck and ruins Jimmy.

I don't know why its so hard to believe that Jimmy was a bit on in years before entering the legal profession. Back in BB he had a line about missing the 80s with regards to money laundering. He was grifter for years and only cleaned up his act after Chuck got more involved. And then subsequently dirtied himself up again. On another note, goddrat the cinematography in this episode was really good, especially when Chuck was wandering through town. This is one of the best shot TV shows ever made.
