This show is absolutely brilliant. Jimmy fucked up twice tonight.

I'm guessing gus was supposed to sit with the guy at the restaurant, but either him or the guy noticed how conspicuous jimmy was being and whatever transaction should have taken place was called off?

Kinda hard to miss Jimmy swapping seats and staring a hole into the side of the guy's head. And then dumpster-diving.

From BB we know that Gus was super smart and calculated every little decision. I think you're right. You could see him pause behind jimmy for a bit as jimmy was gawking at the guy and his bag. Gus undoubtedly noticed that.

That's a valid complaint IF the show was struggling to hold an audience, develop characters, and/or tell a story. This show? Not even close to having any of those problems.

Mike's opening scene(s) were suspenseful as hell, reminiscent to our beloved BB days. But I think they could've been better had they chosen NOT to set them to that weird music. Just imagine that whole entire escapade without any music. I think the tension would've been a lot higher.

Also, Mike going on no sleep is a recipe for disaster. I can't believe he and Jimmy met virtually in the parking lot after Jimmy's obvious stakeout. That was a slouchy move.

Yeah as careful as Gus is I'm sure they have a pre-arranged signal.  That or if Gus sees something on the cameras he just doesn't go over to the drop guy and go "how is your meal today, can I get you anything?".

Note it was easy to miss but Jimmy said "no wonder Rebekkah left you, what took her so long".

I had money on Chuck's wife getting electrocuted or something , which caused Chuck's electrical fear.  Turns out he is just crazy as a loon.

Whatever the result of Chuck's trap was doesn't work because Jimmy is a lawyer still in breaking bad.  I think slipping Jimmy will soon merge with Saul and Saul will show Chuck the real way to screw someone over.

I could have sworn when the guy got up with the bag there was something black and rectangular on the floor where the bag was sitting. I was waiting for Jimmy to mention it to Mike.

Gus has his back to Jimmy and is blocking his view to the guy.  Gus could have quickly said 'leave now and take the bag with you'.

Toolbox belongs to the salvage yard (they rent tools).



The tool box is marked 'Property of Five J's...

I agree that Jimmys outburst was a bad move but I totally understand it.

The tape rolling was dredging up memories of e very last time he was family with Chuck, when he was a brother instead of a Judas.

Yes, Chuck was a cunt for blocking Jimmy at HHM all those years, etc but that tape was a step beyond that. It was an active stab in the back of the man who cared for him.

It's not easy being a lawyer, even if you disobey rules like Jimmy does. But Jimmy tried to build his own firm while at the same time taking care of a mentally handicapped brother. Chuck truly ended his family.

The comment about Rebecca drew a pained look from Chuck, I don't imagine it's the last we have heard of that either.

And Hamlin wasn't out of shape, those suits aren't designed for agility like that.

Not true

Part of Chuck wants to save Jimmy from turning into Saul.  Part of Chuck wants to settle old childhood scores.   The show, up to this point, has been about those 2 factors intersecting.

Chuck is too righteous and self-absorbed to realize all Jimmy has wanted up to this point is Chucks love and acceptance.  That died with the tap recording and now we get Saul.

I also think that a big step toward saul happened in an instant when jimmy was stripping the tape off the wall at his office. He was rolling it with his thumbs like chuck taught him. At that moment he realized that he has been spending far too much time trying to conform to what he thinks chuck wants him to be. He ripped the last piece of tape off the wall in final defiance of chuck. Time for jimmy to be jimmy. Saul is closer than ever.

What this episode represented was Jimmy as far away as he can possibly get from his true self.

He is domesticated and nice. Painting walls, glad handing elderly clients, acting like a complete newb in the Pollos Hermanos, and letting Chuck force him into acting on emotion.

What he really is is Slipping Fucking Jimmy, legendary confidence man. Quick on his feet and looking out for #1.

He is ultimately a fish out of water and (more importantly) vulnerable.

It's not really a show for people who want Michael Bay-type action.


The beauty of the show is the methodology of it. It's an art.

The plot does roll slow but each the ending of each episode wants you to come back and see what happens next. It's all about catching the small details and putting the puzzle together.
