I'm pretty sure that's a picture of the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian on her wall, in which the saint is depicted tied naked to a tree and pierced with about a dozen arrows from all directions. So, hey, that bodes well….

I don't get Finn. He clearly gave Alicia the game as a way to connect with her. When she stops playing, he stops playing. But when she asks him out for dinner he declines, and fends off future invitations by mentioning his probably-nonexistent new girlfriend. What the heck?
Too bad they don't have access to telephones and must resort to a video game where others can hear their conversation to conduct their forbidden flirtations.
He likely considered using the money for a long-term holiday in the Bahamas, as he feared Mike might do. The lingering, loving way he placed his own cash into the duffel bag suggests that it was not an easy decision. ("Jesus. Gets bigger every time I look at it.") That said, it was also the simplest way to prevent…
Maybe I watch too many spy shows, but when an FBI counterintelligence agent suddenly starts grilling his partner about the woman he nearly betrayed his country for, I can't help but be a tad suspicious.
It's surely no coincidence that Agent Ominous so-casually asked Stan for his assessment of Nina. That dude knows more than he's letting on. Making Stan doubt Nina with that whole "the guy I was running thought he was running me" bit — not for nothing, I'll wager. Stan is right to be wary.
To me the most revealing moment of the episode is when Mike tells the vet that he is "not looking for that kind of work." This is Mike trying to go straight. We also get to see the similarities between Mike's backstory and that of Slippin' Jimmy. Both men come to Albuquerque to make amends to family members they feel…
The moment Agent Ominous said the classified files aren't coming back I kissed poor Martha goodbye. On the one hand she may be of no further use to Phillip. On the other, the FBI may have finally snapped to the fact that someone has been swiping files, and it's a matter of time before they figure out who. Either way I…
Yes, I found the hand-on-shoulder action to be very unsettling. Unlike Kimmy, who is actively trying to seduce her man, Paige is quite unaware of any, um, impropriety in Pastor Tim's thoughts or actions. No way Phillip wasn't fantasizing about impaling that hand with a barbecue fork.
Okay, I still think it's more than most could afford on that salary in '04 even as a rental. I know it was for me! Anyway, I'm just wondering if Mike has a second source of income we haven't seen yet…. That scene in the diner got my hopes up.
My bad. Stupid memory, getting details wrong!
Same old folks home where Tio ends up? Also, Mike is in a pretty nice house for someone on a parking lot attendant's salary, nicer than the apartment he was in when he was making bank working for Gus. What the dealio?
I believe it's the same storefront, though the interior has been extensively remodeled. I double checked it like ten times.
Funny you should mention The Sting, because Saul's Butthole con is basically the same con Robert Redford was running in the opening scene. Which yields the equation Slippin' Jimmy = Johnny Hooker. Nice one!
Three cheers for those patented Pretending-not-to-be-horrified frozen smiles! Pastor Tim and his wife under our roof? Great! Our new neighbor works in FBI counterintelligence? Awesome!
Stan should have checked that toilet paper roll. We saw one used to send a message in a previous episode. But how typical that his good instincts fail to pay off because he misses the evidence that is right under his nose, or foot in this case.
"These people, they'll talk. They're human beings." The matter-of-fact way Agent Aderholt made this remark sent a shiver down my spine. Sinister implications much, dude? Plus his eagerness to hear white-supremacist 'war stories' kinda creeped me out.
That sounds like arguing.
I'm reading it as a little Easter egg for BB fans, and a little tease as to a possible future guest appearance. Too much?
The nail salon/law offices of James M. McGill Esq. is on the same street as Gale's apartment. I believe it is the same salon Saul tried to get Jesse to buy in the, er, future.
