They clearly did not have an endgame. The bookie from Mike's story planned out going into hiding and picked a location that would make for the best long-term hiding place. The Kettlemans meanwhile grabbed a tent and some canned food and hoped they would come up with a better idea before they died of exposure.

Or more likely dehydration, Saul was pushing it going on that hike without water or the ten essentials. Immersion ruined. :qq:

The worst thing about Chicago Sunroof being the term for some nebulous, unknown sex act is that it could have been a great prohibition-era term for someone who got shot in the head.

Or maybe the best thing.

Who the hell wears shoes in a tent? These people are monsters.

Also, the girl is laughing.

I love that when the son says 'Finally', the mom snaps her fingers to get him to be quiet. That, plus the fact that she was the one grabbing the money bag and the look on Mr. Kettleman's face when the cash comes out, make me think the whole embezzlement thing was her idea, rather than his.

Wow, I thought he was supposed to be a ~35-year-old manchild, which I could have believed (and thus makes Chuck's 50ish appearance spot on as well).

That also would have explained why he was such a loser nobody in his early-to-mid 40s.

In the podcast they say that they expanded her role quite a bit after she put in a great performance in the first episode. Maybe this is what they meant by that.

I would have been willing to buy late 20s. But not 19.

I actually think the 'Chicago Sunroof' might be the nickname for whatever con Jimmy was running, rather than a sex-act in and of itself. Just that whatever led to him being in prison made it LOOK like a sex thing.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
I have to imagine Gus is being introduced in one of the season finales, and I also have to imagine we'll eventually catch up to Breaking Bad and see what Saul was doing aside from helping Walt and Jesse. His law office was basically always packed whenever they came to visit, you may recall. I'd get a kick out of him representing Lil' Dave's pot possession offense while he's involved in a multi-million dollar Meth ring. Maybe that's what he'll learn from these lean times, never turn away work. I bet he loved having a proper office and firm of his own, and that helping out people who had only committed minor crimes made him feel like a good person, and closer to the older brother he always wanted to be.

But I guess we'll see, given the ratings and immense clout of Gilligan and co. I have to imagine we're getting as many seasons as they want to give us, so it should be a fun ride.

I'm gonna say he's 50 at the start of BB, 44 in BCS and 34 in the flashback (making it around 1992-95, which works with the phone).

I actually kinda hope they never go into Mike's past too much. Between this and BB, I want him to remain the god-drat force of nature that he is now.

I'm a bit sad that Jimmy burst into the tent before they could get into some JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIEMER SCHMIDT or Happy Wanderer.

Also it occurred to me that Hamlin looks a bit like a smug rich 40ish version of Jesse Pinkman.

A reverse GIS lead to http://www.buzzfeed.com/jordanzakarin/this-old-photo-of-young-conan-obrien-louis-ck-and-bob-odenki#.bw4lb8oXm

quote:

O’Brien presented a photo of his original Late Night writing staff, which now looks like a legendary bench of future talent. Along with Conan and Louis, it included Breaking Bad and Mr. Show’s Bob Odenkirk, trusty sidekick and sitcom veteran Andy Richter, SNL genius Robert Smigel, ubiquitous writer Dino Stamatopoulos (you may best know him as Starburns from Community), and several other heavy hitters.

and from that

Interesting article regarding Chuck's condition: It's a mental illness. Pretty much inarguably.

I don't think anyone is dumb enough to claim that Chuck's EM Sensitivity is 'real' in the acute physical sense, but it's not uncommon for something like this to be the result of another, more tangible physical ailment. I don't see any reason to rule out the "Chuck has Cancer (or whatever other terminal illness you like), and is convinced it was caused by electromagnetic waves and that if he can keep himself isolated for long enough, he will recover."

In fact, my understanding of many EMHS folks is that this is exactly what happens - real physical ailments are blamed on radio waves, and isolation from them, + placebo effect ends up being helpful to some degree or another, creating confirmation bias.

They should call what comes after TWD "The Laughing Dead," because watching grown adults discuss that clowncar of melodrama like it was "Death of a Salesman" is hilarious.
