I won't say I'm very knowledgeable in how much money a big firm makes but it caught me off guard that one of the biggest firms in the state with as many employees as it does has less than 9 mil in the bank. I mean, that's a lot of money but I assumed giant law firms were always rolling in it. Not like it matters much anyway, but y'know.

I mean, that's a lot of money but I assumed giant law firms were always rolling in it. A lot of companies operate on razor thin savings. Rule of thumb is they should have 12-18 months worth of expenses in a liquid account to cover unexpected events, but when you're paying for insurance/salaries/taxes/rent/etc you make take in a ton, but nearly all of it funnels right back out.

Did Howard say '... and one more thing' before his scene with Chuck ended? What was that? The group waiting for Chuck in the main entrance? I missed what happened right after he said that, or maybe I missed something in the conversation.

That was so good. I am now all in on Howard being the best person on the show that isn't named Nacho. Goddamn, you could taste the betrayal and hurt that Chuck was bringing down on him. imo Chuck killed himself because he realized that what he said about Jimmy is also true of himself - he ruins everything around him and doesn't realize it until it's too late.

If someone had never heard of BB or BCS and you ignore dumb stuff like the actors ages, would you watch BB first then Saul as a prequel, or Saul first then BB as a sequel makes u think

I'm still really taken out of the writing by Gus' stupid little speech to his workers. To reiterate: "Those bad guys were the Mexican Mafia!! But don't worry friends... I didn't pay them. We are all safe, here, in my lovely fast food restaurant." Yawn. Nothing in the BCS universe makes sense.

I would believe Giancarlo if you made that speech. I really hope next season gives us a Gus that isn't fully formed. Give Gian more to do and act. --- The ending is a great parallel to the therapist speech. "Don't feel you have to do everything all at once." *Does everything*

That finale left me wondering: What are they gonna do with Howard? If Chuck really died, all that ties Howard to the other characters was cut. His last scene with Kim didn't suggest any relevant contact between them anytime soon, the Mesa Verde situation is stable, so is the Sandpiper one. They have to bring him back somehow, since he's one of the main characters of the series. Maybe he'll find out about Jimmy ratting out Chuck's trial rant and try to bring him and/or Kim down somehow, although I don't really see him as a vindictive person, he seems just satisfied that all that poo poo is over.

Do we even know if this show is getting another season? I kind of got the sense they left a lot of the plotlines in a quasi-finished state in case they don't get picked up again. HHM and the entire cartel side of the plot especially

If this show does get a season 4, they should probably wrap up the story. Who knows how much longer AMC will keep it going. They should wrap up the prequel next season and if they get a fifth, jump forward to Gene to answer any questions anyone has.

I've enjoyed these three seasons of better call saul, but it's time to see saul dunking on state prosecutors to save small time criminals with good hearts and bad parents, and move away from these elaborately drawn out (in form and time) plot lines. basically I want the MacGyver of criminal defense
