    Did Saul also help Walt poison Brock? But like you said, this is something we know (if I'm remembering correctly), not something law enforcement would know, esp since there were no suspicions of someone poisoning Brock.

    I sure don't remember Saul having anything to do with that....I do remember Walt returning to his backyard to retrieve the oleander plant, I think it still had the identification tag Lily of the Valley on it from Home Depot/Lowes.

    Yeah, he's one character I really want to see more of in the last three.  Might be tricky as I gather the actor is now really in-demand but they've been good at paying off most of these minor characters - Irene, the Kettlemans, Lyle, Don, Kevin, Cliff, Rich etc. - and they talked about how one version of the hit and run scam involved the skater twins.

    Others on the wishlist for closure: Paige, Ernesto, Schuler, Lydia, Tuco and I really want one last flashback appearance from Chuck.

    "Favorite Minor BCS Characters and Why?" That would be an interesting topic to hear members thoughts on in this forum

  3. I wonder at what season/episode in BrBa did G&G decide that they were going to eventually do a prequel based on Saul? It could not have been in the first couple of seasons...I doubt they ever thought there success was going to be so great much less assuming that the minor character of the cheesy attorney Saul Goodman was going to be a crowd favorite?

    Also how much thought was given into "co-writing" BCD as they were writing BrBa to make the upcoming per-series believable? ?

    The next Kingpin.

    He’s lookin for Jimmy.

    Price (not my real name) is my favorite minor character in both shows!

    And that right there is the problem.  Old Jeff would not have been skeptical of Gene's plan.  It would have been the buddy who needed the nudging.  No wonder there is confusion.  

    I knew this was going to happen:  

    That's not the only example.  Old Lionel on The Jeffersons and Old Becky on Roseanne were awesome characters.  Their replacements acted as if they were just happy to be onscreen.   

    I really can't blame the new actor, however.  He played his part the way it was written.  If anything, it was the casting of Carol Burnett as the domineering mother that caused the change.  

    THIS!!!  Exactly Mr Pirate!

    I am a week behind on the show, so perhaps others have already covered this, but I was wondering if they were hinting at perhaps a romantic relationship between Gus and the sommelier?  Maybe it was simple friendship, and he fears pulling in anyone outside of "the game"?

    Disappointed the anticipated appearance of Walt and/or Jesse was a bust.  But we did get a nice shout out from Gene (paraphrasing): "I'll tell you what crazy is - a 50 year old chemistry teacher who came to me so broke he couldn't pay his bills.  A year later he had enough money to fill a Volkswagon"

    I think he said the SIZE of a Volkswagen, LOL

    Maybe Gene has some money hidden away so he doesn't have that motive.

    Sure he does, we saw him digging money out of the wall in his office and also he called the vacuum man for another $250k disappearance before changing his mind.

    The last 3 episodes of BB were fairly significant.

    Ozymandias

    Granite State

    Felina

    Might we expect similar impact from the last 3 of BCS?
    I certainly hope so.

    I hope so! This one sucked...LOL

    Perhaps, I’m missing something, but wouldn’t it have been easier to have disappeared….changed identities again?  I don’t recall the rules about how that worked. The whole scheme was really just too risky,  

    Its $250k and also no more Ed Galbraith...

    The way I see it, this elaborate scheme was just about protecting himself from Jeff

    Maybe the intimidating, in your face original Jeff that scared the bejesus out of Gene in the mall but not this wussy mama's boy Jeffie. Not only was new Jeff a bad actor but it was like the writers completely changed his entire persona...

  12. This episode gave me BrBa 3/10 "Fly" flashbacks! The store layout in the snow, the ridiculous "slip and fall" from the bad Jeff, the fat security guard licking his fingers along with all their jovial camaraderie when the nightly Cinnabons would be delivered, the MY loading dock lady. What a waste of 1 of the last 4. What happened G&G?!?!

  13. Kim is not gone until shes gone...all we saw was her packing and leaving Jimmy, nothing more. I think she has a different fate awaiting her besides what was possibly eluded to in the last episode. We will see her in at least one more show sooner or later

    One day I’m getting a Dane for my wife. We have several giant breeds in our neighborhood that we see when we walk our dogs (Wolfhounds, Mastiffs, Danes), and both of us have always wanted one. But my wife wants a Dane specifically, so I’m sure that will be our entry into the extra large plastic bags arena. Years ago I had a Neapolitan (weighed more than I do) take off part of my nose. But I still would love to have one.

    Dane's are wonderful gentle doggos, just remember they have a short lifespan, which means them going over the Rainbow Bridge way before they should

    Good plan. Time also to read some classics….the ones I was supposed to read in high school.

    Rockford Files, McCloud, Starsky and Hutch maybe.  My mom changed David Soul’s diapers. No, nothing perverted, just babysitting.

    How could you leave out Columbo?

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and you will), but the lie to the widow was the first time Jimmy or Kim scammed a person who totally didn't deserve it. You could define the line Kim crossed in terms of that. 

    Well for just one, how about the man in the bar where they screwed him into buying that crazy expensive bottle of Zafiro Anejo Tequila and even took a big check (never cashed) from him for the fake business investment?  What did he do to deserve their BS scam?
