Thanks for that. See now I wonder if the conversation he had with the guy he sold a bunch of phones to comes back into play, he mentioned cash business where you don't report money to the IRS then at the beginning he's looking for a bowling ball full of wrapped rolls of cash and skips town. Where did he get all that and was it his office or someone elses? Crazy beginning

eball Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Since we have 5 episodes left of season 4 and we're getting much closer to Jimmy becoming Saul, I'm thinking this will be a 5 season series. Can anyone confirm?

I didnt pay attention to the signs at the airport in the begining Denver services an amazing distance for business, a few times I've been scheduled to get a full day for each of getting from and to the airport on top of a full day for flight both to and from the airport.
gomper Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Can someone be kind enough to refresh my memory as to why Saul ran? As I recall, the only ones who knew everything thing were Hank, Gomey, Jesse and Walt. Two wound up in the desert with holes in them, one is forced into servitude and the other has his own problems. Great opening scene. "Tell 'em Jimmy sent you." I wonder who that could be?
Fadingpain Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 OK: we have seen several flash forward sequences now with Jimmy/Saul playing the role of Gene, the Cinnabon manager in Omaha, Nebraska. Presumably he is in the witness protection program and has been given a false identity and new life where no one will know him. It just sort of hit me: when Better Call Saul runs its course, I think we are going to get a 3rd series, about Gene in Omaha. He'll be surrounded by new people, new problems, and perhaps be slowly pulled back into his old hustling ways. At least I hope so! I just don't want the whole thing, starting with BB, to end. Any thoughts on that?

I wonder who that could be? 1st sentence: Saul has a lot of woes, one time he was kidnapped and dragged out to the desert by Walt and Jesse, and blames the situation on Ignatio (Nacho??) at the very least they used this single line to set up a BCS story plot for seasons on end... 2nd sentence: another lawyer retained by Jimmy, he must have someone as counsel to mop up for him?

I guess my question is was Saul in serious legal trouble or were things just too hot and his paranoia got the best of him. If that's the case, then "Gene" can come out of hiding. Maybe the show ends next season with his November 12th 3pm call and finding out Walt is dead and the heat has subsided. Then he returns to ABQ. Who knows with these writers. That's what makes both these shows so great.

That's what makes both these shows so great. the writers have had to carve new people and background into BCS due to the much deserved success of both shows. i took the last episode of BB to be Walt's dream of getting out of his jam, while he was finally trapped in the cold and died or was captured...

Fadingpain Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 There is a heated Jerry Sullivan thread going right now in TSW section. There's a good podcast referenced there with an interview with Jerry. At the end of that podcast, the interviewer asks a series of questions, one of which is what is Jerry's favorite TV show. Jerry answers, "Right now? There are so many.......Better Call Saul." 4 hours ago, RaoulDuke79 said: Has Jonathan Banks received or been nominated for an Emmy for playing Mike?

I still give the edge to the performance of Gustavo Fring, with all due respect to Mike's excellent character, of course both established by being in the presence of Mr. Cranston.

Howard is a mess because he believes it was him trying to push Chuck out that caused Chuck to start the fire, and yet Jimmy is feeling great knowing what he has done to Chuck and that he can push the blame off to someone else in his own mind. I also feel that recently we have seen Jimmy subtly going back and forth between wanting to be good (Jimmy) and going back to bad (Saul). I think that the beat down by the teens was pushing him to think that maybe he was getting too old to be a con like he was before and was wanting to try and stay Jimmy. But after seeing Howard and how much of a mess he was even with help from a therapist, it pushed him to think therapy isnt going to help and he decides to keep doing what he has been doing. I wonder if Howard is such a mess because he is in financial straights over paying Chuck to leave HHM. He did say the money was his personal funds.

Heard it would be Gus? Don't remember where I heard it, believe it was on one of the extra's on AMC.

row_33 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Excellent show, never enough Huell Those boys should have taken the deal.... a total side note, I usually watch shows with closed caption and both the aquarium bubbling at Kim and Jimmy’s, and Hector’s life support system noises were displayed constantly through the two scenes on CC. some kind of irony to have Germans locked in a work camp?
