The flip phones automatically make these feel like period pieces for me, in fact when I visited New Mexico last year I found myself thinking of it as the "land of the flip phone" and probably always will. Sorry, New Mexico, but well-played, Gilligan

But if they ran the meso commercial, it IS that kind of place, right?

I agree, it seemed like such an obvious point that Clifford would object to not being told about a commercial run on behalf of the firm, and no real reason for Jimmy not to show it to him, unless he felt it was on shaky legal ground. The vehemence of Clifford's response did take me aback, though, I must admit.

In a strange and somewhat twisted way, Mike often feels like the moral center. Even when he's getting part-time jobs to "disappear" people, because his family needs the money. (Another version of Walt, in some respects.) I think it's because he has a personal code, however pragmatic

A nice parallel to Daniel saying farewell to the Hummer, too

Me either, but he looks older than that to me these days

That was exactly my reaction. And it was like the whole of Jimmy/Saul's future suddenly became visible. Brilliant writing, the way the tone of the scene turned on a dime

In my mind, Huell is still shut up in that room.

That was one brilliant glare, shifting back to the Real Chuck after Howard had left. Looked like pure evil at that moment

I found myself on a sneeze fetish site, only the other day. By total accident, of course

Yup, Chuck's affability is never real. This episode emphasized that a couple of times

That whole idea was handled so brilliantly—it was hilarious, and continued to be hilarious when Jimmy was describing it to Kim on the bed, right up to the point where she stopped being amused and brought up the fabricated evidence deal and you suddenly saw how Jimmy was setting himself up to become Saul and end up in

Jonathan Banks deserves an Emmy simply for the way he says "Your baseball cards??"

Yeah, I noticed it last week on the opening credits

Or "not bad-looking and quite a nice speaking voice." Seriously, what am I missing? Is it all my years here in the colonies that have affected my appreciation of the Attractive British Man?

I may be imagining this, but didn't they have a similar speech right after Sybil died, about being the only ones to share memories of her?

I don't even get the "handsome" part, though I guess that's just my taste. They're just identikit suitors to me. Edith's dude looks like an actual person.

He is, extremely talented. I noticed that he's now "Robert," which I suppose gives him more gravitas or something, but not necessary.

The moment we saw the newspaper headline about the death in Tangiers, it was like "there's one happy ending for Thomas being ruled out." So it was less surprising to see what happened next. My hope is that having been pushed, or pushing himself, to the extreme, he's now rebounding in time for all sorts of positive

On Talking Saul, Gilligan and Gould did say there will be a Gene episode, so I guess things will be revealed to some extent
