Is this a reference to "Muppet Babies"? Because that was my first thought. And then I was picturing animated versions of all of these guys in diapers. SO goddamn weird! It would be a huge hit.

Agreed. The No-Doz was such a prominent, onimous prop!

The writing of this show is so damn genius for making me feel such warmth toward Gus, for his refusal to take a percentage of Mike's money. I KNOW, of course, that Gus is a psychopath and a master manipulator, that he's going to extract a favor from Mike that is way more valuable to him than the 20%, and yet I'm…

I always marvel at her perfectly-curled ponytail.

I love that logo and its reflection in the ceiling.
Stock market crash!

The scenes between Mike and his daughter-in-law Stacey are interesting to me: though few and fleeting and humble, they do so much in the way of storytelling. How do others feel about her character? While I do have empathy for her vulnerability and tragic situation (it would be quite hard not to), I also get…

Yes, I'm amazed at how much suspense I feel in scenes where I already know the fate of all the key characters!

GAH!

I am quite worried for the Russian with the new teeth. She's in WAY over her head.

I had this concern as well, but after reading people's responses to my comments and reflecting, I've realized that the show already established context about the specifics of this "electricity allergy". Jimmy knows that Chuck is convinced that he can't even be around batteries, and Chuck will "react" to them — if he…

OK! After sleeping on it and reading these comments, I now feel convinced that Jimmy could safely predict a freak-out reaction to a battery by itself! Thanks, folks.

Yes, I totally thought that Chuck's pocket was going to start ringing! I agree that it wouldn't work, though, because he would have felt the whole phone. I do see why they went with a battery, even though I think it doesn't completely hold up.

I'm still not quite convinced, because I wonder why Jimmy would risk planting something that Chuck could explain away when he could just as easily plant something more definitive (Chuck could pose his aversion to turned off devices and batteries as an extra precaution - he's very smart!). But I'm definitely…

Not necessarily: Chuck's flinching reaction to the battery in his pocket could easily be explained away as a moment of shock at the deception. Jimmy's trick only works if there's no one in the courtroom who both understands electricity and is also willing to speak up on Chuck's behalf (including Chuck himself).

—> NERD ALERT: possible misunderstanding and/or misrepresentation of science on the part of the show's creators. NOTE: this doesn't diminish the awesomeness of this episode for me, but nevertheless, I must point it out!! I wouldn't have been aware of this had I not watched the episode with my physicist/ engineer…

I haven't yet. Also curious about this Broadway show "Sweat" that she's in. Glad she's getting so much work!

I felt that way and was thinking that way too (minus the part about using Henry later for spy stuff) because after everything with Paige, I would imagine profound relief at launching Henry away to his own life. I had even been already thinking "why not send the kid to boarding school?". In hindsight, though, I was…

"MARTHA!" I hollered, practically leaping from my couch in excitement (at home by myself). I don't know what it is about Allison Wright and her character, but damn, Martha sightings are the best!

BB "Box Cutter" nod: how 'bout that close-up of a tomato being chopped at LPH, right after we see Victor drive away from Mike?! Poor Victor!!!

Has anyone commented on the close up of ADA Kyra Hay's VW hubcaps? Given Gilligan's eye for character details when it comes to cars especially, this must mean something! Ethically disastrous company that still comes through as #1 car seller… hmmm… we should probably be skeptical of that "tough but fair" rumor.
