That wasn’t my point. My point was that fraud is fraud, no matter who you’re cheating. Persuading this co-conspirators otherwise was how Jacobson was able to get so many of his recruiters to go along with his scheme in the first place.

Those would be “juju eyeballs”. 

No, it’s the same.

That Simon Marketing slip-up might not have mattered if Jacobson hadn’t also been mailed the holographic seals that were supposed to seal the envelopes containing the winning game pieces. If Jacobson hadn’t been able to cover his theft so easily, he might not even made the first attempt.

El Cuco has some sort of weakness or it wouldn’t be so afraid of being exposed.

Also, Hillary’s memory is probably a lot better when she isn’t under oath.

“Sticking it to The Man” is just a rationalization, similar to how Gloria Brown’s self-justifing her “winnings” as a “blessing.” Her episode in particular reminded me of A Simple Plan where rationalizing greed ultimately led to regret.

I’m happy to see they’re breaking away from the usual touristy venues of San Francisco, too. Battery Godfrey, it seems, is a vestige of the Presidio as a military installation.

Acker’s claim of “adverse possession” was either stupid or duplicitous. You can’t sign a lease and then claim “squatter’s rights” after acknowledging that someone else owns the land.

Wasn’t the “south wall” a reference to what Ziegler spilled about the accident at the lab construction site? Lalo was pumping Ziegler for information while Ziegler was unaware that Gus had rivals in the cartel.

Similar to their appreciation of real food over replicator-produced fare, the Riker-Trois seem to prefer “high touch” over “high tech” for their creature comforts.

...or hold a pocket mirror up to his nose...

Plus Nacho’s earlier association with Jimmy in the first season that brought McGill to the cartel’s attention in the first place. Evidently the “biznatch” incident made a big impression on the Salamanca familia.

Will they escape? No, don’t tell me...

No shout-out for the Hank Schrader back-of-the-head cameo during the DEA raid?

Hmmm, am I gonna commit a non-violent in the next week? Y’never know, and that 50% discount sounds pretty sweet...

He couldn’t be better than Bill Irwin:

Now that The Middle is available on Amazon Prime, I’ve been catching up on its full run. I missed the first couple of seasons because Hulu wasn’t around then.

And little Cosmo was scarred for life...
