Hector is still alive in BB, so not exactly. I don't remember if/when we saw Nacho.

I actually think there's a chance Jimmy would have left the "slippin'" behind him if he'd gotten hired on at HHM or otherwise received proper recognition from Chuck for his work on Sandpiper back in Season 1.

As Sen. Robert Menendez put it after the first bill failed to pass - don't worry, that burn is covered under the Affordable Care Act.

"Worst thing on the internet"?

Any word on whether the sequel follows one ending or the other? I only ever saw the movie once - Director's Cut on VHS - but my understanding is that the theatrical version is less open-ended about what happens when Deckard and the last replicant go on the run.

As much of a jerk as Chuck is, I continue to see this as the tragedy of two brothers who bring out the worst in each other. There is something a bit cold and calculated about the way Jimmy and Kim set him up to embarrass himself, and psychosomatic illnesses aren't something to shrug off or laugh at.

A couple thoughts:

I don't think BB was ever trying to peddle the notion that the people who were killed or suffered as "collateral damage" somehow had it coming because they were too close to drugs. Sure, you *could* interpret it that way, I suppose, but I saw it as more reflective of the foolishness of anyone thinking they can commit…

Also, isn't HHM in charge of the Sandpiper case? I don't remember if they were partnering with Davis & Main on that or if they were handling it solo, but either way, Jimmy getting fired from Davis & Main wouldn't necessarily dissolve any agreement he had with HHM.

But how would that help them make a case? Even if Chuck is seen as incompetent to practice, Jimmy still broke into his house and destroyed his property. And I'm not sure Kim would stoop to blackmailing Chuck directly, though Jimmy might.

So maybe I'm just an idiot, but I'm not clear on what exactly Kim and Jimmy are attempting here. What, in those pictures Mike took, is going to help their case? And how is proving that Chuck set Jimmy up and duplicated the tape going to get Jimmy off the hook?

I'm assuming that Kim's "give me some money so I have lawyer-client confidentiality" move does carry weight or she wouldn't have done it. Or do you mean that he could go after her over more or less knowing what Jimmy did with the Mesa Verde documents?

Am I wrong in thinking that Gus spoke with more of an accent on Breaking Bad?

He's right up to a point, but the irony is that by stabbing Jimmy in the back in S1, he's caused what he meant to prevent, i.e. Jimmy being in a position to hurt a lot of people due to lack of ethics in how he practices the law. Jimmy is actually a little less self-centered by nature than Walter White, IMO, and might…

I think Chuck and Jimmy are both tragic figures in their own way. (And Kim is probably on her way to becoming one.)

Maybe part of the problem with Pop and in particular the tour was that the band were clearly still in "experimental" mode but it wasn't clear to what end. The Zoo TV tour was clearly designed to send up mass media culture and in the process U2's own rock-star status. PopMart was perhaps sort of continuing in that vein…

I didn't particularly know or care that much about the history of Pink Floyd when I first heard this album. If I'm not mistaken, a friend lent it to me because he knew I was a U2 fan and thought "Take It Back" sounded kind of like a U2 song. (Which it does, though the lyrics weren't anything to write home about.)

Fiscal responsibility.

DELETED!

"August" was literally the first rock album I ever really loved, but none of CCs' subsequent albums ever really did that much for me. I wouldn't even put it down to any one thing in particular like being "too commercial" or whatever, they just weren't as appealing or relateable for whatever reason. I saw them in…
