You’re joking, but I actually have an easier time seeing that. 1) this show zigs when we think it will zag. 2) you rightly point out that he has NO accurate name for Jimmy or Kim. He knows Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler. (Nacho does know Saul’s real name, though - that could be tragic.) 3) I think Lalo can trace Saul as…

I don’t think Jimmy could hold him off forever, but just long enough.  There’s something to the whole (1) her having no middle name and (2) her not taking his name.  Details like that on this show are always going somewhere.

In my world, a backup is a person, not a gun...

I’m usually fine with remakes, but this is one that does not need to exist.  The original is just perfect.

I think, even then, Bernie would fail to get it.  Decent chance the dude doesn’t live till November given his age, heart, and COVID-19.  

How old are your kids?  57?  Mine are 3 and 6.  I am in fucking hell.  And somehow we’re still paying for daycare.  

A few days ago, he wrote of Larry David: “Then again, he also says that he thinks Bernie Sanders should drop out of the primaries and hand the Democratic nomination to Joe Biden, which is also not going to be an especially popular position.”  Barsanti seems clueless and out of touch. 

I feel like Sam has been giving us a lot of reasons to dislike him during the outbreak... he’s starting to become some GenZ caricature.

He cried?  Man, I missed that.

Oh... the spacesuit walk. It was Saul’s ultimate con, so far, huh? He tricked the mark into thinking he was an easy target just like the scams he pulled with Marco, except that ended in gunfire.

Well, that’s also why Jimmy was visibly moved and refused to take the blanket in the cold desert night.

I think Gene has to have the last episode in full, right? A la Breaking Bad?  I also suspect that the November meeting he mentions to Francesca (in the other, little discussed flash forward) will be crucial.  I think he’s going to see Kim or something about her.

Didn’t Lalo previously make a sardonic “You wouldn’t get it” to another character?  When was that?

Wow. Amazing. I really appreciate the theological references/comments, Donna. I keep thinking we are waiting for a Saul/Paul moment, and maybe we are there? If Saul gets blinded briefly by a flash of light in the beginning of the next episode, that would be interesting.

Thank you.  That was very helpful.

That’s helpful.  (I also love your avatar name.)  I’m gonna read the book and give it another go.

Wow.  This is a very stupid take.

Wait, why are they fucked?  It seems they’re as strong as they’ve been since Trump took office...

100%.  There are humans who exist in the country (and in the world!) who aren’t in the Twittersphere.
