They end up saving the town by building a giant mechanical spider.

Are you still enjoying your asparagus, sir?
I was never enjoying it. I only eat it for the nutrients

Vince Gilligan was asked about this by EW and said that it's legal to tape a conversation in New Mexico, as long as the recording is not for commercial purposes. Likewise, the NM State Bar considers it unethical but, depending on the circumstances, not necessarily unlawful. In 2002, when the show takes place, NM…

Good points.

I loved that shot. We've really only seen Kim's rainbow smile once before, when she thought she'd won the Mesa Verde account. Jimmy's withering guilt in the face of it was perfect.

The thinking is that Mike caught Gus' attention after the incident with Tuco, and has had one of his people shadowing Mike ever since, possibly with an eye to recruit him, which we know he eventually does. Nacho standing in front of Hector suggests collusion with Fring, or whoever dropped the note. Then again, it…

Great comments here- a real testament to how brilliant the show is, in that it has everyone talking about the differences between "right" and "wrong."

Nacho was not in BB, so he's either under the ground or in hiding now. But, yeah, his standing in front of Hector suggests collusion with Fring, or whoever placed the note.

You could be right about that. It's a good question just how admissible such a taped confession could be, since it involved trickery and duress. Even if it was eventually admitted at some trial, Jimmy's defense lawyer would argue that the confession is unreliable.

Exactly. Richie already told us, first off, that his story would be filtered through a good deal of drugs, booze and BS.

As in too many cases, one wishes the Mob is not a part of it, but then the Mob is a part of it. Whatareyagonnado?

Yeah, I feel like I've been watching a different show. I've loved every second of Vinyl. It's gorgeous, filled with great performances, has perfect sets/costumes, and is not just a little tongue-in-cheek. And, I'm sorry, if there is a show with a bigger music budget and better soundtrack, I've not seen it. …

No, the H.G. Wells in the Wild West as a sickly child is pretty hard to beat.

Except that Mark Twain was 36 and living in Buffalo, NY in 1871.

I'm with you, it's lazy writing for a cheap gag.

I've always considered him, as he considered Mark Twain, "An American saint."

So nice to see all the love for Mother Night, which seems strangely timely.

These are not the original Star Wars you are looking for.

But Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo Band are comin' back, baby! Right! Right? Anybody…?
