Nope. Went Jimmy (pre Saul) is shooting a commercial with his rag tag bunch at an Elementary School, the Principal comes out and asks what he's doing (because he did not have permission). He comes up with the story that they are making a documentary about Rupert Holmes (The Pina Colada Song guy) and he went to school here as a kid and Jimmy's own makeup girl says "I thought Rupert Holmes was English" and he talks his way out of that one too.

Take it from me..........I love you. (you need to be a fan of Mr. Show to have any idea what this is).

Huron Valley called me and asked if I could foster Lucy while she goes through her medical crisis. I said yes. If am a foster I won't have to pay for the medical issues but I can give her a home with a yard and a companion. I could adopt her after that if her health allows it. I know I am setting myself up for another heartbreak, but going through what she is, and as sweet as she is, she needs some comfort in her life. If things work out she could survive for a long time. I am going to get her on Saturday morning. I don't think I would experience the kind of heartbreak I had with Diego. He was my best friend for 15 years. If I can make her last months or years happy, why wouldn't I? In honor of Diego.

The "cover" story on Yahoo Sports today is about Matt Patricia being one of two people to call offensive plays for New England. There is a picture of him with his stupid pencil behind his ear. I just want to punch my computer. I hate him so much. Sick of that smug look. He's an asshole and a terrible coach and my two rooting interests are for the Lions to be better and for him to fail miserably. One of my all time most hated people to have anything to do with sports in Detroit or just about anywhere else.

They did that biopsy on Lucy for a mass in her chest and it turns out that it was a malignant tumor. She'll probably have it removed this week and we'll see how it goes from there. Poor girl. If they think she can recover I'm still probably going to adopt her and even if she has a short time I might be willing to give her a nice place to live for the end of her short life if they don't recommend euthanizing her immediately.

Congratulations on earning your law degree Jimmy McGill

I don't know if anyone noticed in episode 6 x 12 but when Kim was at the backyard party the song in the background was Escape (The Pina Colada Song) and it's the second time in the series that song has been referenced. Does anyone remember the first?

I have been a fan of Bod Odenkirk since Mr. Show. I know he was around before then but Mr. Show is on my Mount Rushmore of Sketch Comedy shows along with Monty Python's Flying Circus, Kids In the Hall and SCTV (and it's Canadian weirdness). I think his playing multiple characters every week was great training for Better Call Saul. Just because he played Mr. Show characters for laughs, it doesn't mean he wasn't doing some great acting and a lot of times David Cross got the more bawdy humor and Bob had the harder role of the straight man. I love how Mr. Show's "Senator Tankerbell" showed up for Better Call Saul (when he played Huell's pastor). He played 3 different characters on this show and it's some of the best acting you'll ever see. Saul was a pretty one-dimensional guy on Breaking Bad and Odenkirk totally changed that. I don't think he's won an Emmy for this show yet and that's a shame.

It felt like a different show tonight. One last scheme but we didn't get to see how he built the scheme, we just saw the end of his bargaining. Did it stick the landing? I say yes, but in subtle ways. A show that is so full of surprises, the two surprises in this episode was that the chase was over in 5 minutes. His greed got him. Going back for the diamonds. I was thinking the last episode when Jeff got arrested that he should have hung up that phone grabbed his diamonds, stolen watches and scammed cash and skidaddled immediately, but he got cocky. Thought he was going to walk into the police station and play them right under their noses, but a 90 year old lady with a Life Alert brought him down. The other surprise is that he owned up to it all. First time in his life. He still gets to be a celebrity and he's probably jailhouse lawyering everyone in the joint - it's the thing that keeps him safe and alive in there. Awfully brave choice to have the last 4 episodes in black & white. So Vince, what's next, buddy............I'm in !

He got what he deserved. Loved the thing with suits at the beginning and the end.

By the way.........you were warned not to come in her in the title of the thread, no complaining.

I missed the first of Kerry Carpenter's 640 career HR for Better Caul Saul?

He did. Everyone knows that..............

What the hell does he have on her? I thought she came clean..................

Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream sales are going to spike.

7 1/2 years? He'd be out NOW ! Holy shit ! This show is going to a current timeline. WOW !

There is another Breaking Bad character showing up too. I don't know who, but I think it will be Bill Burr's Ron Kuby

Two new series with Bob Odenkirk and Giancarlo Esposito next year..............nice !

I have it on two TVs right next to each other in case there is an issue. Different commercials? That's weird.

I really think the one more Walt scene will be Walt & Saul in the Vacuum Cleaner Guy's basement, that night. It'll be dark. Darker scene kind of hides some of the aging from the original scene. I can just imagine that leads to Gene calling Ed only to have someone answer the phone saying Ed just died.

Who is the Tiger Of The Year? Skubal? Who played 2/3rds of season. Of the Non Pticher Tiger Of The Year? Harold Castro?

I didn't realize until watching AMC's replay right now that the puzzle Florida Kim was working on was just blank.......

It opens - in color. A loading dock some generic place in Canada (Canadian flag is shown). A couple of the guys loading whatever they are loading are bitching about the pandemic and the supply chain slowdowns and how everything is late. When the truck is loaded they walk over to the cab and hand the manifest to the truck driver, a bald man, wearing sunglasses, he does not say much of anything. He signs it and one of the loading dock workers says "you're all clear, smooth sailing all the way to Yellowknife". The truck pulls away, Manitoba plates..............various quiet shots of the truck........the wheels, the cargo in the back, the inside of the cab, the back seat sleeper space.........the camera pans around and the bald truck driver comes back into view and as he pulls the mask off his mouth the picture turns to black and white...........because it's Jimmy/Saul/Gene/Viktor.........long haul Canadian Truck Driver in 2022. Cue theme song not working because the tape is trashed................the next forty minutes is how we got here. the last ten is how he gets caught.

I think Vince and Peter's next project is Interview With A Vampire (as a series) - on AMC this fall. I think they are Executive Producers and not showrunners. Their standards have got to be high, though.

Just occured to me that when a Mike Morse commercial came on I realized he is basically Howard Hamlin.
