They are constantly watching their backs. Probably nervous about being in public. Nervous about watching tv at night. Always having issues.


I can't imagine having any time to feel relaxed and safe.

Plus do any of these bodyguards get time off? It seems like day or night they are at the ready. I hope they get OT.
They are properly compensated.
I hope they tie up how Lyle’s double shift went in the last few eps.
I bet he made so much money he spent it on meth
He becomes Badger.

Finally got to watch the latest episode. At least Kim isn’t dead, I guess. And we still don’t know what became of her. I’m betting Gene know, tho.



Jorge, how was the Spanish from Bolsa and Don Eladio?

I also believe its been more than a year yeah.
The date on his license plate said it expired in 2005. So the end was either in ‘04 or ‘05 before it expires.

Sucks that he has to open and close two days in a row though.
Finally caught up on the past two eps and 5 pages. This was my favorite post.

Schnauz, after facing a Twitter barrage, is now saying, "Somewhere between 05 and 07."

More importantly, he also said, "it doesn't matter."

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.

They had Dave Porter on one of the recent Insider podcasts and they talked about him playing with some new things this season. Definitely some broadening and I think it’s been very solid. Not as many highs as the BB era but still good.

I think the only Gus related thing would be finishing the lab, which could be accomplished by a top-down montage

Is Tuco worth bringing up at all?

He had an important cell mate...

Saul could easily represent both characters in a montage of cases.

And I can't remember: Has the village that Gus maintains been established in BCS or am I remembering it from BB?

He sent Mike there in an earlier season of BCS.

That village isn’t in Breaking Bad, but the doctor is. That’s about the only connection to the village in BB
