Hard to resist a man with a banjo and arrow through his head!

Steve can retire but he still needs to show up for the 50th season of SNL, assuming the theory Lorne Michaels will retire after that landmark proves correct. He’s just such a mainstay of that show, and he was never even a cast member. 

Yeah getting some Ike Perlmutter vibes from this guy.  100% he thinks all black people look alike and doesn’t like women superheroes because they don’t sell toys 

I’m so happy this appears to be good. I love the history of women’s baseball & the movie was kinda like the tall tale version of that, so I am glad the show appears to be keeping that going.

I find it refreshing as well, that he’s pretty self effacing and light hearted all while making two series full of darkness, death and tragedy. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to other show creators, like Matthew Weiner or David Chase, who are so self serious about their projects, so tight lipped about one aspect…

It’s extremely hard sometimes to reconcile the extremely lovely person that Vince from all accounts is with the fact his mind has given birth to some extremely dark shit.

He just doesn’t seem like the type. 

Kim’s moment watching the young female lawyer prepping the old vagrant-looking guy in the courthouse hall signals that she knows that that avenue is closed to her now.

Very long; did read. Worth it.

Saul was way more influential in BB that we ever knew, and the original show is better for it in retrospect. That alone is a clear awesome payoff for any prequel. I dont even care how it all wraps up next week, in terms off specifics. Just excited. 

i’ve been re-watching breaking bad alongside saul (since the timeline caught up a few weeks ago) and the added context and re-framing of events really adds to...everything.

I feel like watching BCS first would spoil a lot of the reveals in Breaking Bad around the relationship between Gus and the cartel and the meth lab. In the original series, all of these strokes are painted one at a time, gradually revealing a mysterious underworld that turns out to be the backdrop for an epic…

i started re-watching the series and that would have been season 2 jesse, who pretty much said yo that much.

To riff on your take, Kim hasn’t really survived in her Florida form.  She’s already dead inside.  Coming back to ABQ and trying to make things right is bringing herself back to life - even if that life is behind bars.  

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…

Subconscious self-sabotage, possibly. The kind of behaviour Saul Goodman would have berated a client over.

Zaslav played a big role in turning the Discovery Channel and TLC from educational channels into trashy networks that air mostly cheap exploitative shows, pseudoscience BS, and nutjobs peddling conspiracies about aliens and doomsday prophecies. So I would question his definition of “quality.”

That was fake, like everything this asshole does. He claimed he had a “larynx strain” despite going full throttle screaming nonsense on his show every night during this trial. You’ll note the fake cough disappeared as soon as shit got real in that deposition. He’s that much of a moron. He thought a fake cough would be…

It’s funny, but I thought it seemed like there was suddenly significantly less coughing after he suddenly realized he’d just been caught in a lie.

Both are probably true.
