They prepared a new cap/tracker/battery before they went to Mike's house, so they could just make the swap on the spot. That's how Mike knew they would drive off with the one he put in the car.

He just ditched it so he wouldn't be tracked during his meeting with the vet. Conversely, he doesn't need to hide the fact that he often goes home to his house.

Yeah it's literally her, she introduces herself as Francesca, I thought everyone without face-blindness would have noticed instantly. When BB first introduced Mike, the show almost made a point of never mentioning his first name, let alone his last. Now someone says "Ehrmantraut" pretty much every episode.

When Mike/Saul have their split in season 3 of BB, it's not the kind of split that suggests a betrayal between friends. I think the writers have been very careful to walk that line where the two find each other useful but exasperating, so as not to contradict the way they fall out later.

I'm honestly more excited to see the show introduce Lalo than in seeing Gus. A so-far unseen cartel bigwig who Jimmy and Nacho pull one over on, leaving Jimmy looking over his shoulder all the way into the BB era? Gimme that storyline, Vince.

Jimmy could get his car washed by Walt, since it's an encounter neither of them would particularly remember (Saul actually does say "that was you?" re: the car wash at one point). I do not especially think this would be a worthwhile scene, but if they were to do it that would be pretty much the only way.

Ein cooler Typ posted:someone on the podcast was saying Dean Norris was hard to work with. has anyone else heard this before? I haven't listened to all the podcasts but I guess they wouldn't say anything bad about him on The Breaking Bad podcast while that show was still going on It's pretty obvious they were affectionately joking. I don't think they've ever sincerely poo poo-talked a colleague in their history of podcasting. Even if someone on set was a pain in the rear end at one point, it's impossible to picture Vince bringing it up publicly.

cool new Polack jokes posted:What are people talking about re: Walt and the car wash? What connection did he have to it before he bought it for a money laundering business? cool new Polack jokes posted:Walt was most definitely a teacher at this time in BCS. Gray Matter is implied to be about 20 years prior to the events of BB, and considering he was already educated, became a high school teacher shortly thereafter. Working at the car wash would make sense before Gray Matter than at any point after. In season 1 of Breaking Bad, Walt works the car wash after school hours. There is even a scene in which he feels humiliated having to wash his own student's car. This desperate state of affairs demonstrates how tight the family's money is, and how much Walt has been forced to swallow his pride, two motivating factors that lead him to a life of crime. Walt quitting the car wash in a huff is a major plot point, as is lying to Skyler about continuing to work there. Later on, when Walt is talking with Saul about buying the car wash, Saul says "Wax on, wax off, was that you?". Saul then complains that the car wash always gives him too much air freshener, indicating that he has used this car wash several times. It is therefore conceivable that, when he has a car worth washing, Jimmy/Saul may take that car to this car wash, leading to a chance encounter with Walt. However, this encounter would have to be utterly forgettable to both men, as they later do not recognize each other during the incident with Badger. Thus, it is uncertain whether the writers would consider such a scene worthwhile. I hope this post clears up any confusion regarding Walt and Saul and car washes.

Tenzarin posted:They never specify if the chicken place is a fried chicken place or a fried chicken tender place, maybe they can solve this with another series? In Breaking Bad Season 3 Episode 9, "Kafkaesque", we see a Los Pollos Hermanos commercial depicting the restaurant's chicken as bone-in rather than filets/tenders. However, this commercial shows whole rotisserie chickens, fading into wings that have been breaded and fried-- two very different cooking methods-- so the canon is not necessarily consistent here.

I think Chuck also grossly underestimates Jimmy's abilities as a lawyer. He acknowledges Jimmy's knack for dirty tricks, but you know he's not even entertaining the possibility that Jimmy could put together a competent defense for himself.

I like how Chuck is basically the only lawyer in town that Handyman Mike could have worked on; with anyone else, there'd be a risk they'd recognize him as the courthouse parking lot grump.

I don't know how much more ground there is to cover in the Gus/Hector rivalry, but I'm kinda hoping the back half of the season gives us more Nacho. I think it's pretty likely he's doing the double agent thing, serving as Gus' man inside Hector's operation-- it's the simplest explanation for how Gus caught on to Mike's activities in the first place.

Would you really be that desperate? Jimmy is perfectly cool with dating bigger ladies. Remember his date near the beginning of season 1?

Your Gay Uncle posted:So I haven't seen Season 3 since it aired but was the guy who brought Don Eladio the 3 bags of money the same guy that Salamonca killed in the pool in front of Gus? Juan Bolsa is the guy who killed Danny Trejo's character for snitching. Gus later had Bolsa killed, as part of his scheme to ditch the cartel and start operating solo.

drunken officeparty posted:Wouldn't a battery not in anything not affect Chuck? It isn't actually doing anything electrical or creating a field. Like the wires in walls don't bother him if nothing is actively drawing power through them. He only winced at Mikes drill when he pulled the trigger. Chuck feels real symptoms, but they're tied to stress, not electrical fields. But since he's convinced himself that it's all about electricity, whenever he's aware of something electrical nearby, he gets, well, stressed. It's kind of a feedback loop. This explains why he's not affected by anything he's not aware of, why things like batteries affect him even though it doesn't make sense that they would, why his condition worsens when Jimmy pulls shenanigans, and why it gets better when he feels in control. It all comes back to stress.

Astro7x posted:So was the "bingo" moment from last week that they knew Chuck wanted to play the tape, so they could use the defense of entrapment which Kim and Jimmy wouldn't normally be able to do? They didn't use an entrapment defense. Entrapment means something very specific that doesn't apply here, as Chuck correctly pointed out. But they did need the tape to be played so that they could get into the details of what Chuck was doing during the recording, explain how his weird behaviour pressured Jimmy to say something that would put him at ease, and ultimately call both his illness and mental acuity into question. They'd never have been able to take the cross-examination down that path without the tape.

He's not going to do nice commercials for discerning clients. This whole plot point is to bridge the gap between the reasonably good commercials he was making before, to the absolute garbage slide-whistles-and-clipart ones he makes in BB.

I don't think Mike and Lydia hated each other before she tried to have him killed, but he does allude to knowing some hosed up poo poo she's done that seems to go back further than the henchman kill list, so maybe we'll see some of that.

Also, HHM could perfectly well have given Jimmy a cornfield job when he passed the bar-- it's not like it was partner-or-nothing. It was Chuck who insisted that even the lowliest doc-review job was too good for Jimmy.
