We didn't start it until 11:30. It was mostly my fault.

My main concern now is keeping Jonathan Banks healthy until filming of S6 begins.

Just got caught up. Great season. That was, more or less, what I was expecting when this series was announced. Are both Lalo and Nacho alive in the Breaking Bad timeframe?

Small question, in the episode where Mike "breaks" and get mad at the bar, what was the photo that he wanted removed?

It is a postcard of the Sydney Opera House. It reminds him of Werner, the German he killed, because Werner had told him that his father was the engineer behind its construction.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Presumably. The comment Saul makes in his first appearance makes it seem so.

The show turning expectation on its head was great...

One of the central questions the audience has had throughout the show is, "when would enough be enough?"
What would Jimmy finally do that would be so repugnant as to drive Kim away?

As it turns out, Jimmy hasn't exactly been chipping away at her moral center, not eroding, nor corrupting who she was.
Each step of Kim's moral decent was willfully taken.

Want to elaborate, but want coffee more
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Exactly...I don't think it's necessarily a spoiler...

When Jimmy mentions them, it's possible he has no idea what their actual fates were, only that he believes them to be alive.

I agree with this. I feel that Kim is also pushing Jimmy to become Saul. She needs that.

Yes, Kim has really gone off the deep end. She's a bigger scum bag than Saul currently.

Are there any references to "my wife" or "Kim" in BB?
