Bingo

We know Kim was exhausted. Maybe she also had a piece of wood messing with her brake line.

Eh, maybe not. A yellow light ascending into the sky isn't the same as a delicious plate of creamed corn and blood.

The way the story broadened out into still more channels makes me think there are going to be some loose ends at the end of 18 episodes. Or else 12-15 spinoffs.

I feel like maybe Chuck developed his "allergy" because he couldn't reconcile wanting to feel proud of Jimmy for being all Charlie Hustle (and in the Law of all things) with the deep loathing he feels for him at the same time for supposedly stealing from his dad.

After this episode, and so many people seemingly expecting Saul Goodman to be a merciless bastard like Walter White, I have to ask: what kind of person *is* Saul Goodman? And what kind of show is Better Call Saul?

He crossed a line that he hadn't crossed before: he was unapologetically *mean*. Twice.

I think Lydia knew about ricin because her character is the classic femme fatale a la Maltese Falcon: fearful and murderous. And as George RR Martin notes, "poison is a coward's weapon."

This is still Russell's best movie. Just watched it again tonight, it's still frigging hilarious. Maybe moreso now than when it was made because the stakes of the world seem higher—corporate encroachment on the environment backgrounded against a genuinely funny quest for meaning and purpose. A magical score. Dustin…

This.

That's in Perry Mason, but still hilarious.

One other little moment that was gold was the hurt look Howard gave Kim as he came off the stand. He has never understood her worth.

If HHM gets ruined by Chuck's name on the letterhead that would be an interesting twist on Jimmy's motives for changing his name—not from shame or to distance himself from his own indiscretions, but because the McGill name is irrevocably tarnished by *Chuck*.

I just hope she's still alive somewhere at the point in time when BrBa begins.

Re 'lung cancer', I agree—it seemed like a shoutout.
Re Chuck's 'allergy', I think it really is all in his head. The bit with the cell-phone battery proves it.

That was *satisfying*.

I just watched it. Totally worth the time. Excellent cast, sexy as hell of course and if you're up for a movie whose dialog is nearly all in couplets then you are in for something much better than this week's festival of robots and explosions.

I do love how the answers are not obvious

If there's a copy, can you say truthfully the information on a cassette was "destroyed"?

I think you're reading too much into left and right. Likely there was a more cinematographic explanation— so that the briefcases ended up in their hands at the edges of the frame. Or something else. Or, you're right and Gilligan has recently joined the Golden Dawn or the OTO.
