I don't think so. He had a good thing going—sharing space with Kim and having a steady practice. What inconvenience was he going to have with his elderly clients? They don't look like deadbeats. Chuck's mania to protect "the law" turned Jimmy into Saul. It was the law all right—the law of unintended…

Chuck's obsession with "the law" and getting Jimmy disbarred actually led Jimmy to become Saul Goodman, a "criminal lawyer" (ie, a lawyer who is a criminal). If he had just let the Mesa Verde thing pass, Jimmy would have continued practicing Elder Law, a practice that actually values helping people over money. …

I loved that. It reminded me of that great scene in The Godfather where Michael gets the baker to help him scare off the mobsters who are coming to kill Don Corleone in the hospital. At the end of the scene, the baker's hands are shaking as he lights a cigarette.

Yes. The first two seasons could have been called Breaking Good.

He was looking for soy milk, not almond milk.

Doubtful.

No! The Dougie story is the most interesting—and funny.

If he finds out, I think it would drive him crazy. Just imagine him realizing his good buddy Phil is the person who married Martha.

I wonder if Stan will do a Hank from Breaking Bad and try to hide it from his bosses that he was fooled by the Jenningses? It would certainly seem to be a career-ender that his good friends and next-door neighbors were KGB spies and he didn't figure it out sooner.

Yes, I saw that on re-watching. But apparently, he wasn't suspicious because the CIA was reducing the surveillance/protection. No doubt, they would say they were moving but that's not how the show portrayed it. They just showed P&E telling Tuan their assignment was over.

It's a moot point now that P&E are not going back to Russia, but did anyone else think that P was wrong to use a ruse of a European vacation to do it? Wouldn't their kids resent them forever for lying to them—maybe even more than taking them back? And on another point, I've been rewatching some episodes from…

I wish they had developed the story with Stan and Renee. If she is a spy, he has to be on to her, doesn't he? He said he trusts no one and her reaction to his announcement that he wanted to leave counter-intelligence has to raise a red flag, doesn't it? Stan isn't Martha. I would have liked to see him report…

The Centre believed it had made a mistake by not informing the parents of that boy who killed his whole family. They didn't want to make that mistake again, which is why they asked P&E to recruit Paige. Why would they then turn around and secretly recruit Henry?

That would be the end of his spying career, if true. Even in the US, spies who were found out to be gay were considered security risks (blackmail) and let go. I doubt if the Soviet Union was more lenient.

Definitely plausible.

I just watched this episode again and fast-forwarded through all of the scenes with Paige and the scene with Kimmy. Much better!

I think the show is more character-driven than action-driven. All of the action in the early seasons was a flaw. Sometimes it even reminded me of fake action show like Charlie's Angels (like that episode with Liz crawling over the car while Philip talked to the mechanic). To me, the best season was Season 4.…

Don't be so sure. You are looking at it through 2017 American eyes.

The point was to get the wife to go back so she could continue her affair with the CIA guy.

Why is it so clear that, if Pasha died, Evgenia would return to Russia? Her husband was staying behind. Would she really go by herself? Maybe, but not a slam dunk. The plan really depended on Pasha surviving and saying he did it because he couldn't take being in America anymore.
