Did anyone else giggle a bit when Huell and Saul say, “You’re Goddamn right!”

I might be way off but I think Kim’s art supplies are the start of some protest signs for a racist sentencing for Huell.

I think it’s actually Burl Ives’ recording from 1945, not Pete Seeger’s from 1957 (or the Tom Waits version from Ironweed or the original Harry McClintock version used in O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

‘The Big Rock Candy Mountain” is such a clever view of outlaw life.

Heretic time: Am I the only one who wouldn’t mind if Saul increased the story incident to stylish montage ratio just a bit?

Loved the shot of them having dinner with the line dividing the two and jimmy pours wine for Kim across. They are together, yet still divided.

When the DA describes Jimmy as a “scumbag disbarred lawyer who peddles drop phones to criminals,” Kim recoils at first. But as she leaves, and in all the following scenes, you can see in her face a realization: so gradually she hadn’t noticed it, it’s come to describe Jimmy to a tee. There’s no coming back from this.

In the late 90s there was an attempt by Spain to detain and try Chilean Dictator Auguste Pinochet for Human Rights abuses. I remember during that time some news stories came out linking Pinochet’s regime to drug trafficking in more overt and explicit ways than the more murkier relationships in other Latin American…

I might have mis-remembered this, but I think the guy who was killed was Gus’ boyfriend.

Yep. I’ve been dying to get that backstory and am a little surprised we haven’t yet.

I believe that was his lover. Hector sneeringly refers to them as “los culos hermanos” as a correction to pollos hermanos.

Lover, not brother.  What Hector always jabbed at Gus was, of course, true.  The partners were partners in every sense, the name of the restaurant chain notwithstanding.  

Gus’ brother in chemistry and chicken, not his brother by blood. And the people who comment about Gus spending all this money to look like business schmoe are missing the point that Gus’ plan also meant eliminating the head of the cartel. Gus must have had much bigger plans than simply running a criminal organization.…

The kids would have got away with it, if not for those meddling adults!

My gut tells me those kids are gonna end up as Kim clients. 

I’m hoping he sics the bikers on them.

The Cousins are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear and they absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are dead!

When you write, sometimes, you have bullet points for the future planned out, but no idea how you’re ever going to get there. In fact, not only do those points sometimes change, but there are times where, when you’re in the zone and writing, characters surprise you. Characters do their own thing. And a good writer,…

Gus has a 6th or 7th sense about these things. Remember Gus’s 1,000 yard stare in season 3 after Jimmy was digging around for his watch in the Los Pollos garbage can? He can sense any thing that’s a little bit off.  That’s why he’s so good at what he does.

He saw something in those documents Tyrus handed to him that were deliberately kept out of focus.   Some indication that Hector was taking a placebo.
