> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Yes, I think their acting was realistic. We’re just used to watching entertainment where people witness horrific violence and destruction and act a little bit sad or horrified but not the pants-shittingly, freeze up like deer in the headlines, go into shock trauma reaction that real people would have in such extreme circumstances. Their acting seems out of the norm because they were trying to portray how realistic people who haven’t lived a life around violence would react to such an extreme situation. But the error is that most actors underact in such situations, not that they’re overacting. It’s refreshingly realistic. I agree. (The acting worked for me, anyway.) In re the remaining episodes: if they are going to spend some substantial portion of it on Gene’s timeline, I’m really curious how they’ll do it. Start in black-and-white and then transition into color, a la _The Wizard of Oz_? And to make it emotionally satisfying, I’m guessing, they can’t just jump Jimmy over the BB years into Gene. Which is where the ballyhooed appearances of Walter and Jesse must come in. And speaking of that, I’m seeing conflicting reports on various sites as to whether it’s “Walter and Jesse” (played by ???) or actually Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. At first there were coy comments by BCS co-creator Peter Gould as to whether it would be W&J or C&P, but more recently-dated articles seem to confirm the latter. > **[Why Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s Better Call Saul Appearances Might...](https://www.eonline.com/news/1336271/why-bryan-cranston-and-aaron-pauls-better-call-saul-appearances-might-surprise-you)** > > Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are cooking up cameos on Better Call Saul.

Re Howard’s end, did you ever look at a concrete floor in the basement of a suburban house and think of something buried beneath it? That is just about as buried as you can get. Who can name the movie I am paraphrasing? ---

The linked article has Odenkirk saying “Bryan and Aaron playing Walt and Jesse” and if we’re to infer there is some nuance to _playing_ the characters in some in-show drama/dy about a dispirited chemistry teacher making meth with one of his students starring the Dad from “Malcolm in the Middle” – that is certainly a theory. ---

A cameo of the statues they just erected in Albuquerque? Nah, my money is on a straight-forward cameo of Walter and Jesse. ---

Hmm, I recall a shitty movie filled with a bunch of C-listers (the mom from Home Alone… the lead in my memory is Bill Pullman, but that could be wrong) about gold treasure buried in a basement. Is it that? ---

In _Breaking Bad_ did Gus mention something about there being bodies buried under the lab? Or am I just imagining that? ---

I liked this episode a lot. I thought the episode was going to end with Walt walking through the door. The public masturbator is Badger, right? (I guess the timing is a little off…) Is that the last we’ll see of Kim? Surely not, right? I doubt we spend all the rest of the episodes on Gene and Saul in BB time. Unless Gene and Kim meet up? If there’s any sort of happy ending for them I’ll be extremely disappointed. ---

Saul, complaining about the sound quality of his radio ad: _“MONO! It’s what the Beatles used!”_ 😄 ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > I thought the episode was going to end with Walt walking through the door. The public masturbator is Badger, right? (I guess the timing is a little off…) I did too, but I also noticed that the registration sticker on the Cadillac’s license plate read November 2005. That’s still too early for BB. We’re definitely going to see Kim again; it will be fascinating to learn what she does going forward. ---

Yes, but Saul visits him and think’s he was arrested for public masturbation. ---

> [@Biffster](#): > > I thought Hank mentioned it when the they were looking at the aftermath of the fire. I’m pretty sure Hank was talking about the 2 henchman Walt popped in order to get back into the lab so he could torch it. One he forced to take him down in the freight elevator and the other had been watching over Jesse as he cooked. And then Walt shot them both. So that makes, what, a total of 6 dead bodies that at various points had been in this secret meth super lab, with 4 being made dead on site? ---

Was the widow Hamlin, played by Sandrine Holt? Strange to have a fairly well known actress for a small role. I bet the series end will include the discovery of Howard’s body. And Lalo’s. I think the jump is necessary, we are either in BB territory or nearly there.
