The Dog House first shows up in 201 of Breaking Bad when Jesse buys a gun to defend himself from Tuco.

When Chuck was going on and on about how old he was and how banking regulations are a young lawyer's game, I was thinking "Seriously? This CEO has got to see through this." And then he did, and I was happy.

Isn't this exactly like real life?

Debbie's reaction to Probst's inappropriate balls comment was a thing of beauty. She just couldn't take any more.

So you're saying he didn't want to avoid him, he just wanted to not tell him until he was done. Fine distinction if you ask me. Either way, there's nothing to suggest any kind of "promising mailroom employee" incentive scheme evident in what I've seen. If one existed, Jimmy would have tried to take advantage of it.

No. It simply takes place in a fictional universe that is very much (but not exactly) like our own. Whenever you see an inconsistency like that, remember: a lawyer did it.

At the time, Jimmy thought Chuck was in his corner. He wanted to surprise him, not avoid him. If such a program existed though, Chuck would definitely not have let Jimmy take advantage of it that's for sure.

He probably would not have been so keen on keeping that a secret if he could have taken advantage of a program like the one you're suggesting.

And he took those classes because he had no other way into practicing law. Either way it's not conclusive yet.

I disagree that it's the more likely scenario. If such a program existed, surely Jimmy would have tried it instead of applying through the University of American Samoa.

Not DATING. Dating is something you do as a confused teenager or a desperate divorcee. Kim faltered on that line because dating wasn't the right word, not because she was embarrassed to admit their relationship.

She is paying them back. All I'm saying is that I think she started out doing it without HHM's financial support. Eventually they jumped on board and subsidised her tuition on the proviso that she'd work for them.

Not to me. To me it feels very much like a character choice.

She's loyal. She knows them. She's indebted. She's worked there for ages. But all in all, she's leaving anyway. Makes sense to me.

Ninja. Pixie Ninja.

And Mike's "Full Measure" alternative is the over-arching thesis of Breaking Bad. Walt goes all the way in that one, and boy does everyone get screwed for it there too.

Absolutely. Whenever Mike and Jimmy interact on Better Call Saul, my mind always goes back to a scene in Breaking Bad's season 3 finale. Saul is lying on his office floor using that weird back massage thing when Mike walks in demanding to know where Jesse is.

She is a bit of a go-getter though. She did all that cold calling on her own, finally landing the Big Fish that was Mesa Verde. Presumably she could do it again; though without HHM's brand to call on, it will probably be much harder to convince clients to jump on board.

It would have been stupid if it was something catastrophic. Its purpose in the story is allegory. In a way, it's like the button in the Hatch on LOST. Sure, that one actually did something; but characters' willingness or unwillingness to push it was in many ways more important to the story than what the button

At least Jimmy didn't go with a urinal deuce. He took the classy route…
