Speculation on how Saul is going to handle the cab driver who recognized him. I don't see him killing anyone but I can't remember if he's killed anyone before -- it's been so long since I watched BB. I'd love to see a Saul scheme to shut the guy up. I hope we don't have to wait for the start of season 6 to see the outcome. Again, I can't remember if past seasons of BCS have included Omaha in any episodes past the premiere. Have they?

Quoted for truth. Also, because the client is such a dumbass, even if he does start seeing BCS billboards, he won't know that he was duped. He'll just think that Saul is also a district attorney. That's even assuming he recognizes him. I thought the opening was a bit farfetched, the taxi driver making such a big deal about recognizing Saul. Is what Saul did that big a deal that an asshole is gonna confront him in a shopping mall in another state? That almost makes me think that there's more to it, that it wasn't a random encounter. But I suck at guessing at these plot lines.

George Reeves was born in the little town where I live. His picture is on our welcome sign. My impression of gyms -- taken from 40's and 50's movies,-- is that they were sweaty and stinky and frequented by men who were training as boxers. My other impression of gyms pre 1980's is that they were places where gay men could meet, without raising eyebrows. If that's accurate, then gyms became more "acceptable" when society became less homophobic -- the result, more six-packs. On the other hand, home gyms are fairly common, as well as gyms in workplaces. It's getting harder to find excuses not to exercise. 🙂

I want to say Minnesota but I don't remember. Minnesota is getting almost as bad as Florida. One of the late night talk show hosts (forgot which one, or maybe it wasn't even them) said if you want to be entertained, Google "Florida man" and let Google fill in the rest.

Years ago, Campbell's made a Cream of Vegetable soup. The veggies were green beans and carrots, maybe some onion. Mom used it to make a version of sloppy joes. I tried it with other cream soups when I couldn't find the veggie anymore, but it's just not the same. When I have to have a sloppy joe, I use chicken gumbo soup. Sounds weird but its' quite good.

I have a Cosori air fryer, the smaller model, via Amazon for $100. I use it almost every day. Fish, chicken (wings, legs, thighs), pork chops, tater tots, carrots, etc. -- so far the only disappointment was a pork cutlet. The cut was too thin for air frying and was overdone. I'll never do pork chops another way though -- they were tender and juicy and the fat was just crisp enough. I do ribeyes in it too, and the fat could be a bit more crispy but the meat itself is juicy and tender. In winter, when we can't grill, the ribeyes will be in the air fryer. Still have lots of recipes to try. I'm really surprised that everything gets crispy but is still juicy.

I watched Part 1 and there was nothing "inside" -- it was just a repeat. I didn't bother to watch Part II. Disappointing!

I don't think he was hired by anyone. He just rented the conference room to promote whatever he was selling.

Maybe the emphasis on the six-pack is relatively recent? When I think of shirtless actors from the 50's -- guys like Kirk, and Burt Lancaster -- they had good legs and a "nice" chest, but no six-pack. I'm having a real hard time coming up with any really muscular actors from the mid-20th century. They were athletic enough when their roles called for it, but they weren't muscled like the young guys we see today.

And as it happened, not one bit of it was relevant to the case. I'll admit to being slightly impressed that the defendant dad seemed to know where all those kids were at all those different times.

I don't get the need for an entire panty when a panty liner (or some Kleenex) would accomplish the same thing. I suppose the things are biodegradable, but that takes time. And we're running out of time. And yes, that underwear would show, unless the skirt was lined.

Yeah, one of the plaintiffs looked like David Spade as Teen Wolf, and the other had spectacular cheekbones, which almost made up for the too-defined eyebrows. I worked for a short time at a community college, and a required course was Life 101. One of the subjects was money and credit. Looks like this should be in the high school curriculum too. I'll admit to making stupid money decisions even into my 50's though, so I was kinda sympathetic to the plaintiff -- until she went bonkers.

That does make him more interesting, doesn't it? He's flexible. Not popular nowadays to sway with the wind/go with the flow -- but sometimes that's the only way to be, and survive. So why IS he separating from his wife? I missed the second episode.

Yes. Ambrose approached him, they talked -- and Ambrose said he'd get Jamie some help. Ambrose took Jamie to a hospital where Jamie talked to a doctor. It looked like Jamie was about to be committed -- Jamie pretty much admitted that he wasn't in control of himself -- but then he panicked and ran away. The episode ended with Ambrose setting up a search. As for that tubing and the dirt -- I wonder if Jamie and Nick did a "buried alive" test/experiment. Would the movie Vanishing been popular at around that time? I can see them being fascinated with it, and Jamie is for sure fascinated with death. No clue about a hubcap -- that photo was blurry, and the focus was on the word on the wall, the ubermensch (sp?).

I have no clue what's going on with Jamie, but I hope there aren't any more scenes where I have to worry about him harming the baby. That was really difficult to watch. What's the deal with the artist? Did she recognize Jamie or not? She seems intrigued by him. There's gotta be some history there. Speaking of the artist, I can't decide if I think she's attractive or not. She's kinda homely sometimes, and then she'll change her hair or expression or the camera will show her in a different angle and she's quite pretty. I think Ambrose is intrigued by her, but I don't think he's smitten.

I thought I noticed some editing, but I could be wrong. A staffer must have gotten a CSR on the phone for JJ, so we didn't have to sit through the recording options, etc. I don't think JJ would fake a phone call, especially one that put the insurance company in such a bad light.

I wanted to reach through my TV and smack the smirk off that sister's face! I felt bad for mom, hearing her daughters talk about how they have to take care of her, like she's this pitiful creature. They were so patronizing, and I think mom's feelings were hurt. If they managed to be successful, it was because of their parents. A friend lost out on a life insurance policy on her husband because there was no autopsy. The man was 80 years old and had been undergoing treatment for cancer and COPD, heart ailments, diabetes. An autopsy would have been a waste of time and money. By the time the payment was denied, the man was in the ground.

Maybe, but it's still hearsay. JJ may have allowed it because what plaintiff said was exactly what the DMV would have told him, and JJ knew that. He wasn't trying to blow smoke.

In the trailer case, plaintiff was allowed to speak at length about what he was told by DMV when he tried to register the trailer. JJ usually shuts that down as hearsay, but she didn't like the defendant, so plaintiff talked as long as he wanted.

The female defendant looks a lot like my best friend, so I was predisposed to believe her. Neither she nor her boyfriend look like the typical meth-head -- they still have their teeth and their skin is clear. So did defendants call CPS and cause the plaintiff to lose custody of his teenage daughter?

It was quite explicit. (The Wiki article isn't very accurate.) At one point, Princess apologizes to Chance for the way she used him the night before. She sounded like it got a little rough. He also asks for money for services rendered, and she gives it to him. No silk jammies but he was shirtless. The man had a six-pack! This might be one of his best roles, in my opinion. He gets loud but not histrionic, and when he learns what happened with Heavenly while he was gone, the pain is in his face, his whole body. The changed ending -- I don't imagine movie audiences were ready for castration. But giving a man who looks like Chance bit of a scar isn't going to keep him from getting movie roles, so it was a bit of a cop-out. This is one of those movies -- like Picnic -- where I'd like to see the couple five, ten years later. Did they manage?

What I like about these ads is that it shows smokers that there are things you can do without smoking -- your day will be filled, time will pass. One of the things I fretted about as a smoker was "What am I gonna do with all that free time if I don't smoke?" What's weird is that when I see the cigarettes in the trash bins, the smell comes back.

Yes. Saw it first run, in a theater in Seattle. I remember people just standing around on the sidewalk after, not saying anything, just looking a bit stunned. And watching the death scene, I know my mouth must have been open. That's one of two memorable "Will this change movies forever?" moments. The other was the wedding night scene in The Godfather, the bare breasts. There must have been nudity in other mainstream movies before that, but for some reason, that scene stands out. And while I'm here, does anyone know why we don't see Paul Newman and Geraldine Page actually kissing in Sweet Bird of Youth? Was there a double standard -- it's okay if it's the woman being paid for sex, but not if the man is the one for sale? Female prostitution was okay but not male prostitution?

Re intentional humor -- maybe. There were a few times when I sorta chuckled and said to myself, "Do you people even hear yourselves?" It's funny but also sad, the way these characters talked so much but only heard what they wanted to hear. Something else that might be seen as humorous -- the way the father broached the subject of divorce. He just wanted to live by himself for awhile, try it out.

I didn't care for Officer Carrie in Tulsa this week. She made an "ugh" sound while dealing with the drunk at CVS, the one who didn't want to sit on the curb. It looked like the man had soiled himself so yeah, he's not going to want to sit down, and yeah, there's gonna be a stink. but he's 66 years old. The only place to "sit" is on the curb, and if you've crapped your pants, you're not gonna want to sit, anywhere. He was relaxed until they started to force him to sit. It's remarkable, the things these officers deal with, without showing their true feelings. That makes it bad though, when we see one who isn't able to restrain herself.
