I was going to say the same thing re: Jesse. The authorities likely assume he’s on the run in Mexico now, due to where Badger ditched Skinny Pete’s car by the border. 

Someone should make a TV show about this or something

I loved The Grinder when it aired but I’ve forgotten much of it. When was Olyphant involved? I’m only remembering Rob Lowe. 

HACF is the most underrated TV show of the 2010s and it’s truly great. It’s no longer on Netflix but if you have AMC+ I highly recommend checking it out. 

The friend he was talking about was Emilio, who is seen walking into Saul’s office just as Kim leaves. This is the friend that ends up dead in the RV in the BB pilot, and is later dissolved by Jesse in his bathtub. 

That dejected look on the cops’ faces as they realized they had to abandon their food to actually do their jobs was very funny. 

My take is that Kim leaving Jimmy is what completed his transition into the callous, downright hurtful Saul Goodman. He was bitter that she left him and wanted her to see that he moved on and doesn’t give a fuck about her anymore. It was brutal to see. 

Her interview on The Eric Andre Show was tremendous

I don’t know, I thought Dewey’s arc in 5 was incredibly well-done and the best part of the movie TBH. 

Maybe Todd actually escaped ABQ and relocated to Florida. Jesse didn’t strangle him to death after all. 

Howard is to BCS what the inverse of Mike was to BB. Mike’s death and disappearance is what basically ruined the Walt and Jesse relationship for good, and Howard’s had a very similar effect on Jimmy/Kim. 

Pretty sure they were mid-coitus during the Howard meltdown with Sandpiper conference call 

Jeff recognizing and confronting Gene at the mall is what snapped him out of his scared, boring life as Gene, and brought him back to being the truly nefarious asshole, Saul Goodman, in arguably a worse form than we’ve ever seen him. 

Saul’s very first scene in BB is him telling Jesse to kill Badger. Sure, he wouldn’t have been the one to do the killing himself, but he’s set up plenty of people to be killed in his dealings with Mike and Walt over the years. 

I love how this is the only time (that I can recall, at least) that it’s raining in either BB or BCS. 

I was originally placing this Jesse scene AFTER the scenes of Walt, Jesse & Saul from last week, and it didn’t make any sense because Jesse was still on good terms with Emilio here and didn’t seem to take Saul seriously. Then I realized, OH, this is earlier in Saul’s new life as the Saul we come to know in BB.

Bowie was so ridiculously ahead of his time, that a song recorded in 1970 can pass for a Reznor collaboration from 25 years later

Britton played Richard Jewell in Manhunt, Hauser played Richard Jewell in the Eastwood film, Richard Jewell. 

It’s interesting that he and Britton are such versatile actors who have done pretty similar roles. Britton also played Richard Jewell in the TV series Manhunt: Olympic Bomber. 

You mean Richard Jewell? If you’re going to pretend to care about being offended, at least get the man’s name right.
