Aha! The thin knife-edge of the side of the small flying saucer clipped the house and made that little gouge when it was circling down to scan the neighborhood for psi-active candidates for their experiments! One of which will be Mike’s granddaughter that he’ll have to rescue from the alien lair in the pulse-pounding finale!
That’s brilliant Ellis Dee! I’ll send a note to the producers first thing tomorrow, giving you full credit of course :p.
He wasn’t startled, he saw a car moving slowly along the block which made him suspicious. And seriously, she says she heard exactly 3 shots at 2:13 am. She mistook newspapers methodically hitting the sidewalk for gunshots? When she first brought it up in the kitchen she said “they were quick. Pop-pop-pop. Closer. Like they were right outside the house”.
Like I said, it smells like lying to me but I can’t think of a good motive. Maybe she is having some kind of breakdown. We’ll see.
Eta: isn’t this on AMC?
Btw that mesothelioma ad they used is almost exactly like one I see currently running. Lol.
I wonder if the column was damaged by Walt White flinging a pizza at it really hard. They should check the roof of the next house.
It’s possible the daughter-in-law isn’t scamming (no real reason to when she could just say “I’d like to move to a better neighborhood”) but she may be having some kind of paranoid neurosis following her husband’s death. It doesn’t look like a terrible neighborhood to begin with and she knows Mike is an old man living on a pension (to the best of her knowledge).
True. He’s not exactly The Terminator. (That’s one of the most perfectly cast guys ever, btw.)
An old man on a pension who shows up with a stack of cash in a plain envelope every so often. I agree the lying doesn’t make sense atm but she just seems too collected/coherent for her to be “losing it” too. So I must await the reveal!
In case anyone’s interested in seeing any clues for BCS from episodes of "Breaking Bad" and if you get Sundance Channel, their reruns on Wednesday night now puts them up to Season 4. Tonight they’re airing S-4, episodes 4 (“Bullet Points”), 5 (“Shotgun”) and 6 (“Cornered”).
The storyline is up to where the White’s are about to buy the Car Wash, Hank is beginning to start his investigation, thanks to the dead Gale’s book and Gus is starting his strategy of turning Jesse on Walter (with some help by Mike)
Yo yo master? Say it ain’t so!
I wasn’t suggesting Aaron Paul show up on BCS, but just that his character might be in HS now.
I dunno. People had DVRs before flat screens were popular. I got my flat screen in 2004, and I was “the only kid on the block” who had one. People used to flock to my house to watch stuff… " IN HI DEF!!!" But that was HDTV. Were flat screens popular much before that? SDTV often looks worse on a flatscreen than it does on a conventional TV due to the different form factors.
True dat, due to the conversion process for differences in resolution. I seem to recall a real lag in the early days, where the foreground and background elements did not move at the same time. I think we got an HDTV somewhere around 2005, but only useful for DVD’s at the time really. Got the cable lineup around 2008, same time as we got a DVR.
As far as Aaron Paul, I don’t think any other actor would do it justice. It’s the actors we want, not just their characters. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing eyebrow guy at the car wash sometime soon.
Ah, yes it is. I was confused because the last thing I watched before posting was OJ.
Nacho really wanted that Hank Aaron rookie card.
I thought this episode was just ‘ok’.
I don’t envy the writers. We all know where Jimmy’s headed, and it’s depressing.
Funny thing is, ‘Gene’ seems to miss Saul more than Jimmy.
Regarding Jimmy being a good lawyer or not… I think he undoubtedly is. It took him a few times to pass the bar, but he’s seemed to have a good grasp on the law. He’s just likes to break rules. That’s why I agree that, while he’s an asshole, Chuck’s concerns about Jimmy make sense.
The whole series is on Netflix streaming so you can watch any episode, any time that way.
I don’t have Netflix so this works for me.
As far as the time line goes, from AMC’s website:
“Set six years before he became Walter White’s lawyer, Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny.”
IIRC, Breaking Bad was set in 2008, so BCS would indeed be 2002.
Which means Jesse Pinkman would have been at best in junior high, and Kaylee wouldn’t have existed yet in the BCS universe.
What makes you think Jesse was any younger than the actor who played him? I never got the impression he was fresh out of high school in BB, just that Walt had been his teacher in some unspecified time in the past.
Kaylee is harder to shoehorn in there, because I thought she was six or so in BB. But if she’s supposed to be 4 in BCS and 9 in BB and you use a generic “little girl” actor in both cases, it isn’t too unbelievable. It’s not like she’s a main character.
No, they showed a car driving slowly with its lights on when Mike was watching, which turned out to be a guy delivering the paper, but that was just a “cat scare” and it had nothing to do with the DILs insistence that there were gun shots.
Although I have no idea how they arrived at this date, the BB Wikia lists a specific birthdate for Jesse as 9/24/89. That would make him only 19 in '08 when the series started, but they also list his “age” as “27 (at the end of the main series)”. The text also says “In his mid-20s, Jesse became Walt’s business partner in the meth trade.”
So there’s a bit of discrepancy there, but it would put him somewhere between 13-18 in our current BCS timeline in '03.
