Desantis sights ‘Don’t Say Radioactive’ bill into law. 

Oh, ffs. I’ll cite some actual numbers to provide context.

Here’s a study published in the journal Health Physics, measuring radioactivity of phosphogypsum piles. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1850391/.

The concentration of Radon-226 was found about 1.1 Becquerel per gram. One Becquerel is a single radioactive decay

Posted this elsewhere last night but I think what people are missing is that Jimmy really doesn’t lose that much here. He was already in a prison as Gene as he was cut off from everything he knew, had little to no friends or life in Omaha, and feared for his life on a regular basis. He even ends up with a similar job

I can sympathize. There is something unsatisfying about Saul/Jimmy’s behavior in this- and frankly, the previous episode- because... well, there’s something... defeatist about it, while pretending to waxing poetic about his triumphant agency. Both the sloppiness of the break in, and sabotaging his please deal, feel

“How does any of it do anything?” Jimmy realises that the only way he has an outside chance of winning back Kim’s love or respect is to do what she did and be honest about what he’d done.

Cheryl can sue Kim no matter what Jimmy says. It makes no difference to the suit whether he lies or tells the truth. If he lies he

Honestly... don’t know how I feel about that one. I get what it was trying to go for, Jimmy finally realising he’d never be able to get away from the things he’d done until he accepts some form of punishment. But his big act, of destroying his deal for Kim? How does any of it actually do anything?

Because I’m not a professional fiction writer, I might have had Jimmy’s world break out into glorious color when he saw Kim in prison. (Did anyone else initially think that because of her hair and identification as a lawyer that we had a significant time jump of Jimmy spending years in prison?). But, I’m glad Gould

I didn’t like it. It didn’t make sense.

Another note - when Jimmy asked Walt about regrets, Walt looked at the watch Jesse gave him on his birthday (implying Walt probably regretted handing Jesse over to Jack). 

Black and White Brunette Kim is just.....so brutal and sad. Proving the fact that Florida is not a place where people really want to go. It’s a place they end up.

I loved the Jesse scene, and I’ve heard some criticism that Aaron Paul feels like he’s playing a parody of Pinkman with these cameos, but I think he’s slipped back into the role with ease.

I don’t really understand why all the Gene arc is in black and white but damn if the scene of the colored BCS ads reflected in Gene’s glasses didn’t look awesome

Yep but a lazier show would say something like “I googled you” or “I looked you up on the computer”

I wonder now if the years on the dog-urn were the timeline for the whole show.

I want to keep the timeline straight. Gene mentions “six years,” so he’s saying it’s been six years since Howard’s murder, yes? Or is it six years since the 2004 divorce? So how many years removed from the main BB action are we at this point?

Watching Kim break down all the pent up emotions of six years was about the hardest thing to watch.  I was legitimately yelling someone comfort her damn it!

Marion finding out about Saul on AskJeeves is a lovely little touch that made me chuckle.

Carol Burnett absolutely killing it at nearly 90 years old. 

really enjoy this take.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance
