Better Call Saul 2.04 "Gloves Off" 3/7/16

I have one in mine. Similar style/vintage as Mikes…

My fridge/freezer is about 15 years old, and has a freezer light.

Some do, some don’t. Just depends how much you want to pay for that little feature. Just like ice makers.

Great point. I believe Chuck when he says ‘Believe it or not, Jimmy, this has nothing to do with you’. Kim’s bad judgement went beyond just trusting Jimmy.

I took for granted that the Jimmy-offers-Chuck-the-deal scene was indeed the set-up for the entry of Saul Goodman, Esquire. Presumably Chuck will eventually say ‘okay*, I’ll admit…*’ (as you put it), and Jimmy will reply along the lines of ‘alright–you will now be the only McGill practicing law in this family.’

Sneaky sneaky. But Jimmy of course does continue to practice law—just under a different name. Like Calvin and Calbin and Hobbes, he obeys the letter of the law if not the spirit.

Yeah, that was my assumption. But of course Gilligan and Gould rarely do the obvious, so maybe it will be something else entirely.

Looks like tonight’s episode (thread hasn’t been started yet) will feature a:

[spoiler]new character that we know from Breaking Bad. Probably not Walt or Jesse. I’m thinking Gus.

[/spoiler]

I think Huell!

Love Huell! But the guy sitting opposite Mike in the booth in the promo when Mike asks, “Do I know you?” looks much smaller than Huell and well-dressed…more like Gus.

Not a spoiler since I don’t know anything, but: I’d put money on Hank and Gomey showing up at some point.

I did some digging around and found it.

SPOILER ALERT: The following link contains details of the March 14 episode of AMC’s Better Call Saul.

Here’s how I’d introduce the character:

Episode opens at Tuco’s restaurant. A customer comes in with no one behind the counter. Customer looks down at the counter and sees the bell sitting there next to a sign that says “ring bell for service.” Customer waits a moment, then “ding ding”. No one comes out front. 30 seconds later “ding ding ding!” “Anybody here?” Still no one comes out. “Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!”

Irate customer walks out of the restaurant.

Tio Hector hears the door shut, walks out, drops the sign in the trash, and pockets the bell.

Opening credits.

Never mind, question answered indirectly.

Apparently they read part of your post at least.
:slight_smile:

Who is that? Face rings a bell…

So they’re still dealing with the Sandpiper case in 2016, or did they just forget to change the answering message?

Maybe Jimmy strikes out on his own when he realizes that his Sandpiper payout won’t be coming for at least a decade.

Yeah, I know… I’m thinking too much. The actual existence of a live phone message isn’t a clue to anything.

It would be in Sandpiper’s interest to stall since a lot of the defendants will either die or have to move to permanent care in that decade.

I’m not sure the message was actually connected with AMC. However, I do have a Better Call Saul t-shirt with a phone number on it. Some of my students decided to try calling the number to see what would happen and they got Bob Odenkirk’s voice doing the ad. Pretty cool.
