I think the surveillance is mainly the former (protection), with perhaps a bit of both mixed in.

"but knowing how doggedly his bosses are going after everyone else identified in the investigation"

P+E's decision to speak with Tim felt highly out of character. It was an interesting discussion, but that somewhat marred the scene for me.

"Who was the guy in the car who took notice of Philip, Elizabeth, and Tuan power-walking down the street?"

Good question.

I really hope that the show doesn't go there, because it's wildly implausible that a legal name change, allowing him to still practice law, would allow Saul to duck the legal history of being Jimmy McGill.

And definitely no marathons of Christopher Guest films, or Laverne & Shirley episodes.

Sorry, but I have to disagree strongly that this issue is anything that gets BCS (or any show) close to "jumping the shark". You're talking about people who are, in the grand scheme of things, moderately well-know as series regulars, character actors, and/or comedians.

That's a fairly involved question, because Saul, Gus, and Mike all appeared at some point in the latter half of Season 2 of Breaking Bad and then appeared in quite a few episodes. The BB Wiki says that Saul appeared in 36 of the last 48 episodes of Breaking Bad, for example.

Remembering Jimmy and Kim's last con, I am almost certain that one of them still has an uncashed check for several thousand dollars made out to "Ice Station Zebra Associates." Jimmy now has a desperate and growing need for money, and I'd be very surprised if Kim would approve of cashing that check. Jimmy cashing the…

Chuck is most assuredly not using any sort of LED lighting or lanterns, which are powered by electricity.

For those of us who think that this season isn't living up to the quality of the two prior seasons of Fargo, I see something of an elephant in the room that (I think) critics haven't discussed. Specifically, is Hawley overextended across too many projects, and are we unfortunately seeing that impact the quality of…

Interesting theory about Mobley/Stussy and the UFO, but unfortunately the timeline doesn't fit with Season 2 of Fargo. Season 2 takes place in 1979. The flashback this season shows Mobley winning an award for one of his novels in 1975.

I actually think that the quality of the season has picked up after the first two episodes, but I’m still struggling with this season compared to the prior two.

It is accurate that a bank has to file a Currency Transaction Report with the feds when a customer withdraws at least $10k in cash - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/…

I thought it was sadly apparent that the woman's chance of living was negligible once Elizabeth spoke to her in Russian. Disguises or no, Elizabeth wasn't going to leave someone alive to talk to the authorities about the two armed Russian-speaking people who broke into her home and accused her of being a Russian tied…

My take is that it could have been a story from Mike to his son tied to covering up the fact that Mike was corrupt: basically a cover story rather than having his son wonder how Mike had been able to pay for this expensive project. That's admittedly nothing more than a guess on my part, and it's tough to see how Mike…

My take is that the initial decision of Howard and the other HHM partners to accept Chuck's disease as real was the key. They obviously did so at some point without any medical diagnosis to confirm it, and we saw 1 or 2 seasons ago just how easily a skeptical doctor could determine that Chuck's condition is…

Yes, I think that the reviewer has chosen a particularly terrible example to use phrases like "a sentence legally arrived at, but morally repugnant".
