  1. I have a mini-tower as my provider lacks service in the Podunk town knowns as Scottsdale Arizona. Does that mean their van has an internet connection? Lalo went back inside with his glock(?) to attack a group of commandos armed with assault rifles. consistent with his character!? That was realistic because we'd expect Gus's first thought would be to straighten his tie.
  2. The show has been pretty consistent. When VGG ask what would these characters do when confronted with this situation? these characters execute a Rube Goldberg plan to do something simple.
  3. Or really did they have to set up an elaborately suspicious cover story to explain why Jimmy was "late" posting bail? How about: Sorry Lalo, it takes some time for a lawyer to explain away 7 million in cash. Isn't it the first time since the premiere that Slippin Jimmy's lost a case? You're right that it's to show him so traumatized and scared that he doesn't have a con to pull for his client. And it's so unheard of that it happened off screen.
  4. Some times I leave METV on to listen to that theme music. Then after 5 minutes of that dialogue; WTF am I doing?
  5. zomg the upstart Cmdr Riker Rival was Callahan's daughter. Where would I be w/o Surly? My view of Dennehy was kinda like Capt Picard and Gandalf. They've always been old and alive so I subconsciously thought they were immortals.
  6. Dennehy was one of those career supporting actors who made the stars like Hackman look good. THAT's who should be getting Oscars instead of the leading man who so graciously took the 2nd biggest part.
  7. Every issue gawked about in TND is still being debated. It's the most relevant Bond flic out there, swapping out the newspaper for the internet is the only update the script would need to be made today.
  8. Mike is a Vietnam Vet even if not full Rambo. Okay, it would be a stretch for Saul to say he fought off the robbers alone, losing his car in the process. It's the old Possible vs Plausible thing.
  9. Why does Saul care if Lalo from finds out about the robbers?
  10. And the last robber returned without any more guys searching for the gunman that had just massacred his gang. Well no one said crooks have to be careful planners.
  11. Yeah just came by to talk about it. I love 70s B movies because the conventions weren't formed yet. I had no idea what was going to happen and the ending caught me off-guard. That Warden was one weird cat. And yes it helped that they were all model prisoners. Join the club. It's ridiculous that function works in the cloak room.
  12. I think people are reading too much into this. Just because VG isn't doing the details does not mean he's a do-nothing producer.
  13. I'm pretty sure the scenes dictate the story. i.e. VGG decided that Saul and Mike would have an episode hiking through the desert and then ask so how did they get there? Lines like 'I would have brought more guys' are their quality control as they review the story to try to fix plot weaknesses.
  14. Why did they trash Jimmy's Suzuki? So if the robbers came back they would assume Jimmy died in a car crash and his body was whisked off to heaven? They're spending too much time showing off their directorial skill, like the Coen Bros. Once we established they're burning up we didn't need to watch it over and over again.
  15. They shuffled the books around in the movies. The acrobat strike force in Octopussy were the book's Flying Circus iirc.
  16. Mike could have planned the rescue operation a little better. I think it's going to be Saul's. Why else would they spend screen time on it?
  17. I got a Monthly Emergency Alert as Mike approached the turned over SUV. Anything revealed?
  18. The first season opens with Gus trying to make French fries at McBurger. Then we see his older brother started the only 5* restaurant in town.
  19. the PAC has a ton of money, it's just not in Athletics. When the silicon valley folks are old enough to think about building monuments honoring themselves, their only logical choice is at PAC Universities; who 40 years later will protest and rename said monuments.
  20. In one episode Mike is telling Gus he still doesn't want to work for him by a fountain in Mexico. next time I see them Mike is in wing formation behind Gus. Did they give a reason?
