So what I am wondering is why is Gene so scared of the police. Can they get him on anything or does he still have attorney client privilege with his dead client Walt?
You generally don’t get to exercise privilege if you’re engaged in a criminal conspiracy with your client. But none of that matters since Walt is long dead by the time Gene’s around. There’s all sorts of shit they can pin on him now, surely. But I think he’s more scared of going to jail where he would be rather unpopular with certain people.
The season seems off to a good start. I predict that Lalo and Nacho’s relationship will become slightly strained at some point.
Hmm…I wonder if the guy who recognizes Gene in the mall might be in need of an adapter for a Hover Max Extract Pressure Pro Model 60 vacuum cleaner part…
Oops. missed the edit window…that would be a Hoover, not Hover. And, going back to the earlier episodes, the secret code for an extraction/relocation was to ask for a dust filter, not an adapter. Wonder if that is a continuity error or does “adapter” indicate that he’s a repeat customer?
Seems that “adaptor” would indicate that he’s a current client and needs to be relocated.
It’s great to re-enter that universe again. Can’t wait for ep. 2 tonight.
Think Kim will get sucked into more and more of Saul’s schemes, or act as a moral beacon (relatively)? Right now my money’s on the former. She talks the talk of ethics but likes dark side thrill a bit too much.
Kim is going to end up taking the fall for something impulsive that Saul does.
I hope they don’t kill Kim off somehow as a unintended consequence of something Saul does.
Nacho won’t let Jimmy eat ice cream in his car 
In the first (extended) episode, when Gene was confronted by the cab driver, there was another guy there with bangs, standing behind him. I thought he looked an awful lot like that guy involved with the drug house in the second episode tonight. But maybe it was just the bangs.
I think he was involved with the money laundering across the board, and they got Walt’s in the end. He may have arranged some killings too. He was a problem solver back in BB.
I think Kim’s downfall might be lying to her client about offer being withdrawing. Isn’t that pretty much license losing?
Did anyone else kind of expect Jesse Pinkman to show up for a free phone? The BCS timeline has got to be very close to Breaking Bad’s first season at this point, if not overlapping right now.
I just watched the episode - where Jimmy was recognized by the cabdriver. Reminded me that I liked the show - but hate the sporadic streaming of short seasons.
A week or 2 ago, my machine recorded an ep. I watched it for a good 10 minutes before I remembered that it was an ep from a previous season that I had already watched. And with the new rep, on multiple occasions my wife and I were asking, “Who was that guy?” “What were they doing?”
I guess I’m a troglodyte who prefers his storytelling somewhat more linear. I generally don’t care to rewatch and “study” TV shows, and I don’t retain all the intricacies following a single viewing. So my reaction is to simply watch them more superficially, which causes me to retain less…
Also, I know many people consider this sort of filming to be high art, but I’m not overwhelmed by protracted scenes showing the banality of one’s daily existence. Yeah, gimme plot. (Cue respondents to observe how much was actually going on…)
FWIW, I did notice in the first episode, when Saul was in the licensing office, there was a camera shot of some paperwork and it read 2004 at the top.
She’s getting on my nerves with her judgemental attitude.
“Where’s the cookie?” 
And of course, I think we all knew it was a bad idea to bang on that downspout while the cops were standing there…
Stephe96, I too was wondering about Pinkman, but I was picturing him as being a bored, as-yet-unscathed kid sitting in Mr. White’s chemistry class during these events.
Guessing that Krazy-8 crosses paths with Skinny or Badger (or possibly even Jessie) in jail, and introduces them to Saul.

What, that thing she did in last night’s episode? I realize it was dubious, but there is this season (and one more to come, I think) - would this one thing follow her and come back to bite her in the ass?
I think she will have to do, or be involved in, something else that is majorly bad and so disappear from the show - quit, go back home, go to prison.
Attorney client privilege protects the client, not the lawyer - it doesn’t do anything to protect Jimmy/Saul/Gene from consequences for things he did, it would just protect Walt (pointless), Jesse, or other people from having his testimony used against them. And it doesn’t cover criminal acts that the lawyer participated in or advised them to commit, so wouldn’t cover things like setting up the various money laundering schemes, poisoning the kid, sending the guys to threaten (and accidentally land in the hospital) Ted, and the like. The financial work he did probably ties him directly into the drug enterprise, so there’s all kinds of trafficing and distribution that he could get as a conspiracy or RICO charge. I forget if he had any involvement with Hank’s situation at the end, but they might even be able to tie him to murdering a cop.
Saul definitely did enough criminal acts during Breaking Bad to lose all of his money and get himself in prison for the rest of his life if they want to throw the book at him, which they certainly will since he’s one of the few living pieces of the Heisenberg criminal enterprise. He doesn’t even have that much testimony he could use for a plea bargain, as most of the people he could give evidence against are already dead. His one saving grace is that there’s not many people left to testify against him, but there would be documents he couldn’t shred and co-conspiritors like Francesca and Huell were still alive last we saw.
I still laugh when I remember when Jesse said to Walter that they needed a criminal attorney, with emphasis on the word criminal.
