I for one believe that WW dies at the end of BB.

But just say for a minute you believe he lived.

Would they tie that into BCS Series finale. Which may fast forward back to beginning of BCS.


WW goes to see SG at his witness protection location job and says, "I'm back... And I have an idea.... You in?" lol

They took his gun, that he had no bullets in.

He hid his other gun, that was loaded, in his sleeve. He did this because he was pretty sure he knew they'd take his gun, shoot him with it, and plant it on him. That's why he didn't get the shot off in time on the guy with his gun. He fired and the gun was empty. Then Mike shot him but got him in the chest, where his vest was, instead of in the head or something that would have dropped him. The other cop have never pulled his gun to this point cause he was scared and then Mike shot him in the head.

Actually, the gun was in between the seats in the backseat. Remember, he jimmied the lock on the cop car and opened it outside of the bar. I'm thinking this is when he left his other gun in the car. I think something bad happens with his brother and whatever it is completes his transformation to Saul. Needing his brothers' approval is the only thing that's keeping him honest up to now. IMO.

I think that would depend on Bryan Cranston, is open to returning. I think he(Bryan), said some think like, he liked it had an ending. IF he is open to to, I would be on board.

That's right. I forgot about that. Good point out.

Tonight's episode was the best so far. Mike Ehrmantraut packs pimento to a protection job - but can borrow all the weaponry he needs... and Chuck is fully revealed to Jimmy.

This episode was very compelling and reminiscent of better episodes of 'Breaking Bad'. It's currently my favorite show.

Wow! Agreed!

Best one so far! Very BB-like!

HHM keeping jimmy in house is better than not. Even without chuck calling I didn't see Howard giving him an office and being an associate.


Mike and his "what he will and won't do jobs" - this is the mechanism that ties him in to EVERYTHING in what we see later in BB.

The big dude running away was hilarious.

Can't believe season finale is next!

Is this where we see full transformation of Anakin to Vader.... Errrr.... Jimmy to Saul? Lol

Gotta feel bad for the guy.

He tries to do the right thing. He takes care of his brother the whole time, he gets his brother interested in the law again and out of his house, brings a multi-million dollar case to his brother and to the firm even though he does not want to go to the firm.

And all of that and he gets squat.

Prior to this he had the situation with the Kettlemans where he had to wind up sending them back to the firm, even if it was just his girlfriend...he still did the right thing in the end even if he screwed up in the middle.

Point is...his heart is in the right place and he is doing what he can do to do the right in his own way.

But at every stop he gets nothing but rejection for his efforts.

The Brother thing was the last straw IMO and now we see the beginning of Saul Goodman and all of it will start at season finally.

I guess he will take his winnings and make the change over.

He tried not to be slipping Jimmy and make his brother proud but his brother still only ever saw slipping jimmy....now his brother will see Saul Goodman.

Agreed.


I don't think he ever fathomed about getting that case into the millions though.

He won't end up with nothing. He gets $20k plus 20% way down the road. Albeit a diminished 20% when the cut the numbers up.


Slipping Jimmy. No one wants to let him live it down.
Especially with the law degree of Samoa thingy lmao...

Brother was douchy

He does have a point. The first time we are introduced to Saul in BB, he is exactly what Chuck was describing.

And Jimmy is trying to do right by Chuck and make an honest living. And Chuck still throws him under the bus because he cant believe "slipping" Jimmy did something he did and is his peer. Maybe not his equal, but his peer. Seems like Chuck hates Jimmy more than Howard. Chuck pushes Jimmy towards the character we see in BB. Although I have to admit, the "monkey with a machine gun" line was pretty funny.

Just a few episodes back, we saw him pull a slippin' Jimmy routine with the twins. Then, he took a bribe and pulled that billboard stunt. Chuck knows his brother, he didn't push him anywhere.

Lately he's been trying his darndest to fly straight. He put what was left of the money the Kettlemans gave him back and was doing his elder law. That's still pretty sorry to throw your little brother under the bus after the way he's looked after your crazy self. Chuck's lower than Jimmy IMO.

Bob Odenkirk is pretty impressive in this show. He had his moments in BB but I never really thought of him as a good dramatic actor.

Agreed.

And... You can "fly straight" and STILL have a little hustler in you. No crime in that. No one is 100% perfect or legit.

I don't believe chuck hates jimmy. He explained it as he took a short cut from a bs law program and leaped towards the front of the line so to speak. Chuck resents that PLUS "slipping jimmy" it's a combo deal


Monkey with a machine gun was hilarious.... Lol
But inaccurate. Jimmy has proven to be law smart(mixed with street smart)thorough and accurate in his "law life"

That was a crappy thing to do.
But again he had his reason, he even said, of you think about it you know I'm right. You could make a case that he is. It was just crappy.

Holy moly.
My first reaction when I heard they were doing this spinoff was, "no way can this side character carry a show" lol

Then I though about and said. When it comes out I will give it a chance.

Saw first episode and knew I was a fan.

Might not be as epic as BB but it might be one of the best spinoff's ever!

"It's all good, man..." Lol

Goes back to what Mike said. You're a criminal. You just have to choose to be a good one or a bad one.

Woah. I didn't realize that. I need to go back and watch that scene again.

I'm guessing that with his brother basically telling him he's not good enough to be a legit lawyer, the process to becoming Saul Goodman is on the fast track starting next episode.
