Motor City Sonics

This song randomly jumped in my brain today after years of not hearing it..............I think the lawyers in love that are Slippin' Jimmy and Quittin' Kimmy probably was responsible.

Oh, and we ain't done with Kim. She might not be in the next eppy or two, but we ain't done with her.

Yep, Tuco is getting out of jail and he's making some kind of threat towards Saul and that's why when Walt & Jessie kidnap him he freaks out. I can see Tuco getting out and immediately messing with Gus. I am surprised Hector didn't go after Nacho's father just out of being an evil prick. I think we get 2 episodes in the BB timeline and 2 episodes with Gene, where Gene is going to set something straight for Kim and that'll get him killed or caught. That poster with Gene putting on the red coat is there for a reason. Nice breakfast bar.

Seriously, they've had chance after chance after chance to be part of this. They make perfect sense geographically. They make perfect sense academically, They make perfect sense rivalry-wise. But no, they're soooooooooooo special. Well fine, go be special somewhere else. Oh, and I know he's gone (and he'll bomb at LSU), but Brian Kelly killed a kid. Have fun playing whomever you're playing. UCLA, USC, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Utah, Oregon and probably a team or two from Texas are coming Big Ten East Maryland-Rutgers-Penn State-Pitt-Ohio State-Michigan-Michigan State-Indiana-Purdue-Wisconsin-Northwestern-Illinois Big Ten West USC-UCLA-Oregon-Washington-Utah-Stanford-Cal-Texas Tech-Baylor-Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota Something like that.

By the way, watching a couple of videos this morning - we are not quite in the Breaking Bad timeline yet. His license plate sticker had NOV 05, so it looks like we jumped about a year and a half. Still 3 years away from BB.

No, Notre Dame will refuse just to avoid admitting they were wrong. Let 'em rot. Besides, I think there is a decent chance that we end up with a 24-team Big Ten with Stanford and Cal as part of the Western Division. I'll quote Bo on this one "To Hell with Notre Dame"

By the way, it the time skip when he is getting ready for work he mentions "another public masterbater"...........Remember, he thought that's why Badger was arrested............so we just jumped to the day he met "Mr. Mayhew". But he's not wearing the same thing and that is not a detail that would be overlooked by Vince & Peter. Walt & Jessie should be in the next episode. Dedicated to Julia Clark Downs....................looked her up, she was a legal technical advisor on the show. She was killed in car accident last fall.

if what we're being told is true, if I was a GM I wouldn't touch EROD with a 39 1/2 foot pole

what a shame.................

..........and there's your time jump...........

And the unravelling of Kim Wexler begins....................................

One thing I did is went to google maps and found Ampuis in France.

No, One thing I've learned from Gilligan/Gould, there is very little fat. That scene will come back in some way, some how. Next scene, Howard's Funeral? Carol Burnett as Marion Hamlin?

Those intros.........................so freaking good.

I don't think Theo just wants a blank check at this stage. Been there/Done that. I think Theo would want a piece of ownership and the Illtiches are not going to do that. Theo is considered a possible baseball commissioner candidate. I don't see Rob Manfred sticking around too long. He's a boob.

Should have promoted this ahead of time, but last night's Under The Radar Radio was an All-Canada affair with Art d'Ecco's new album as Pick Of The Week.

I want to know what substance you spray on pictures that upon touching make your eyes dilate in 15 minutes.

I think that happens in a couple of episodes. We'll see her fake it for awhile. I really think Carol Burnett is Howard's mom and they have a service for Howard (remember, his car won't be found for a few weeks) and Marion Hamlin will meet Kim and she'll say something like "Oh Howard really spoke highly of you, he was disappointed you left, he was going to make you a partner one day" and that will just tear Kim to shreds. Her two episodes are tonight's "Fun And Games" and next week's "Nippy".

It's not just Al. It's the whole thing. Everyone needs to go.

But knowing that Walt & Jessie are appearing in newly-shot scenes kind of implies there has to be a time jump at some point. As exciting as it is for Breaking Bad fans, I wish they weren't showing up or that we didn't know about it. I understand why they told us, there were sightings of them in ABQ a the time of BCS filming, so that would have gotten out anyway.

They were better than this.

Carol Burnett - One of the Sandpiper residents - A Casa Tranquila resident who talks Hector's ear off, thus torturingi him - Onwer of the Lazer Tag business (episode is titled Fun & Games) - Oldest meth user in the BB/BCS universe - Howard Hamlin's mother I can see her as Howard Hamlin's mother. Kim and Jimmy do their Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier thing, then Howard's funeral happens a few weeks later and upon seeing Howard's mother, Kim starts falling apart.

Jesse's Aunt? Wait........Update...............his Aunt was named Ginny. Carol is too old to play Kim's mom. I have snooped around a little bit but haven't looked at any details but I guess tonight's episode will be more intense than the last one. I find that hard to believe. Tonight is titled "Fun And Games". Maybe Marion owns the Lazer Tag business that Saul kept trying to sell to Walt & Skyler. The title sequences of Something & Something (Carrot & Stick, Axe & Grind, Plan & Execution) stops with this week. Next Monday's episode is called "Nippy". We still have a considerable time jump. We are currently in about 2004/2005 and Breaking Bad starts in 2008. If we are to get at least one full Gene episode that means we've got 3-4 years to cover in about 4 episodes. The longest time jump in Breaking Bad was 6 months (Granite State). I think we get a big time skip tonight. I really think all we'll see of Walt & Jessie is the scene where they were wearing the ski masks and kidnapped him. We'll get more shots of the drive to the hole in the desert and the drive back to Saul's office and then we'll see a montage of moments from Breaking Bad that takes us right up to Gene. Almost feels like Walt & Jessie are being wedged into the story and this show has gotten so good it doesn't even need that.

We've reached the point of the season where we pause. A pause interrupted by two games in Oakland this week. Two games the Tigers won't win because they never win in Oakland. Where are you at this point? What is your mind set? Are you......... Apoplectic. You expected at least a .500 team this year Disappointed. You knew they wouldn't be much better than 2021 Satisfied. Few teams have had to deal with the incredible amount of injuries (some of them bizarre) this team has this season. Hopeful - Still a lot of youth that has to figure it out at this level and no way several guys have their worst year at the same time again. Hopeless - It's really bad and it's probably not getting better in the second half or 2023 I feel Apoplectic and Hopeless at this point. And I'm just f**king sick of the suck in this town with ALL of our teams. All four major pro teams are at the bottom of their sports. I see hope for the other 3 teams. The Wings had a surprising first half last year and totally crumbled in the second half. New coach. More young talent coming. Some decent free agents that should strengthen the depth. The Yzer-plan. Three straight great drafts for the Pistons now. They have a very good young nucleus now. This is the only way a non-glam city is going to have a chance in the star-oriented NBA where everyone wants to play in the pretty cities. They also look like a group of team-oriented guys, which is the only way it's worked for us in the past in the NBA. The Lions should be entertaining. No lack of energy on that team. The coach is a goofball, but an entertaining one and his guys play for him. What's wrong with trick plays. What's wrong with Tecmo Bowl playcalling. If you're going to suck, at least be fun. The Tigers? All the current cards in the deck have now been played. No young star coming anymore. They've all been here now and most of them have been very disappointing. Probably not their fault, they were dropped into the middle of a disaster of a lineup. Can't hide 'em. We thoughy Green & Tork would be Lou & Alan and it's felt more like Kapler & Fick. Hell, give me Granderson and Higgy and I'd be alright with it. I know these 2 are better, but there is little support in the lineup. The Castros aren't supposed to play every day but they're doing more than much of the rest of the lineup, and that ain't much. Team just feels cursed. The draft is now, the trade deadline in a couple of weeks. I don't care about Chafin, he was a guy signed to be a chip, but Fulmer and Soto, I am very afraid at how badly Avila will screw these deals up. Don't have to trade them Al. If you don't get anything you want, just keep them. I am hoping that after the trade deadline has passed, that Al will be let go. If not then, then after the season ends. If that doesn't happen my levels of anger and hopelessness will be as high as they were in the early 2000s. Not excited for the return of Jake Rogers & Spencer Turnbull. Ryan Kreidler has come back to earth this year and Kerry Carpenter will probably do the same thing next year. It's bad folks.........Really bad.
