No, I think he will be back in the *series* finale or not at all.

My favorite little moment was yet another illustration of how good Jimmy is at thinking on his feet:

I like Chuck; but I think a lot of the rest of your comment is well-observed. However, I'd note that BB, especially in the early going, was also a black comedy.

But then the hospital scene this week seems to indicate he only *looks* crazy. Mea culpa.

Though this week's episode seems to suggest the recapper was right.

This hunch seems to be vindicated in the next ep (though I'm only halfway through it as I type this).

No. We are either never going to see the present day again, or *maybe* see it at the end of the series finale. Count on it.

I just don't see it. I think the whole point of the way that was portrayed is that he is indeed now "Mr. Low Profile" and that there's no reason to expect anything interesting or novel to happen to him from here out, any more than to any other random schmuck with three pairs of Dockers in the closet.

Yes, this. There would be no sense in going back to Omaha, because the whole point there is that he did exactly (probably too exactly if you want to be picky, but let's allow for artistic license) what he said he was going to do:

That too! Although he deserves some slack for that as he was saving Walt's life.

That was more "kill Badger, not me" though. Also, I don't think we can always consider something from someone's first appearance on a show to be totally locked in. I think overall, Saul showed himself to be ethical in his own way, dedicated to giving his clients good service, and actually a decent lawyer.

Yes, agreed. Saul is a criminal, but so is Jesse, yet people always seem so much more willing to give the latter the benefit of the doubt. When did Saul ever do anything as sleazy as targeting people in a 12-step recovery group to sell meth to, for money he didn't even need?

Yes, and I also think it's strange that she declared Chuck's malady to be physiological rather than psychological, after this of all episodes when we got those POV shots of how freaked out he was going to get the paper.

I will fully admit that I didn't realize it at all until after he pulled him up and they made some kind of conversation that indicated they had a deal.

Ha, you're right: that's perfect. A lot of people (even some critics) have been saying they want to return to the present day in Omaha, but I think that would be a mistake. I think we have seen all we need to of that timeframe.

I'm not envious of them—both because I think this show is not truly designed to be watched on its own, and because I don't think "Breaking Bad" should be watched, ultimately, after this show. It's just getting the order wrong, to the detriment of both.

Hey, at least s/he admits it (and I do, too).

I think if anything goes not according to script, the big guy jumps up, demands his money back, and "Saul" backs him up.

"Unwanted" being a key difference from what is portrayed here.

I seriously doubt she's under 16 (FWIW, the actor is 21, three years older than the actor playing Paige). And Northeastern girls have a long tradition of not getting their licenses at age 16.
