My mom randomly brings up that she doesn't understand chicken and waffles. I don't know why, no one ever talks about it. But several times over the past few months she just says she doesn't understand chicken and waffles.

Have her dunk some fried chicken into a little bit of syrup. At least then she'll understand chicken and waffles even if she doesn't like it.

You can wrap basically any breakfast food in a tortilla and dump salsa on it and make it 100% better. Ask me about my spicy tomatillo Froot Loops breakfast burrito.

NO LISTEN TO ME posted:

I do like the story on the most recent podcast about how the editor took some liberties with Gus' reveal and Vince was initially frustrated but came around once he realized that the version he had in his head was actually worse.

I feel like most of the success of Vince's shows comes from just being a showrunner who's willing to listen to their crew, it's deceptive how simple it is. Didn't he want to kill Walt Jr. in season 1 before everyone talked him down from it?

I can't even imagine how the rest of the series would have gone with out Walt Jr/Flynn.

California was talking about passing some kind of law outright prohibiting all lawyers from having sex with clients just a few months ago. Apparently it actually is a relatively widespread issue, or at least enough for there to be a somewhat public debate about it.

Class action lawsuits plummet in CA.

Marie didn't respect Hank's mineral collection. She may have been the biggest monster of them all. :colbert:

Incidentally, I just caught up on this show and it seems like this season is moving even more slowly than last season. Have they said how many seasons it's going to be? Because it just feels like they don't have a whole lot to tell about anything outside of Gus/Mike/Hector. It's still a good show, but I think it's one of those shows where it's better to put it off for 3-4 weeks and then catch up so you can actually see a couple of plot points manifest.

Lantern is going to be the episode that Kim sets fire to Chuck's house to get Jimmy out from under that rear end in a top hat. No one would expect Kim to be the one that crosses the line and Jimmy the one that ends the relationship.

I agree. Each season's Cinnabon segment has been longer, and in this season's he finally talked as his desire to be a lawyer is starting to override his cowardice. There's every reason to think there will be some significant post-BB stuff if it doesn't get canceled.

I know I'll be shouted down for this but I really want his final act to be to somehow get Jesse out of the charges that are surely coming down on him.

I think it's a safe bet that the end of the series will be Jimmy (going by his old name.....in Mike's voice) in court either defending himself or someone else.

Is there any chance that the insurance company looks at the transcript of the Bar hearing, sees Jimmy got a bad shake, and jacks up his rates by something less than 150%?

It doesn’t have to be a good chance. Jimmy would throw Chuck under the bus for a 0.01% chance.

If it's anything close to real life then the insurance company won't give a poo poo unless the supreme court comes and tells them they can't raise his rates 150% for a probation regardless of the situation leading up to it.

Maybe 'Lantern' will be a beacon of hope for Chuck as he gets his brain fixed.

He wasn't in the last episode, so I bet he's made huge strides in his recovery by the time the insurance company looks into him. Sure, there's the transcripts, but they may not read as poorly as they flowed out of him. And he can play the "my brother broke my heart, of course I was upset" card just as much as Jimmy did.

Guys, I don't think we're supposed to be looking up to Saul. We're just supposed to be seeing what lead to him becoming a drug empire's consigliere, and to understand why he chose those actions. We are supposed tobe looking up to Mike though. Mike's a good guy.

I've heard several people say that this last episode made them hate Saul and they can't figure out if that's why they have actually began rooting for Chuck, or if Chuck is actually sympathetic now.

What I am saying is this show is brilliantly written.

It's both. Remember when we started liking Hamlin at the end of season 1? Well now we're starting to like Chuck at the end of season 3. Vinny Gil knows how to write characters.

There is an argument to be made that if Saul had never volunteered his services after their initial dealings ("So if you wanna make more money, and keep the money you make...Better Call Saul!"), Walt would have never been in a position to grow into the Heisenberg we knew by the Finale. He probably would have just ended up arrested or buried in the desert if he'd continued to follow the trajectory he was on.

Just like the vet is the deus ex machina in BCS, Saul was in BB.
