Better Call Saul - Prequel to Breaking Bad
Discussion

In the second season, the initial letters of the episode titles were an anagram of a major event in the season (FRINGS BACK). I've been trying to work out if they are doing something similar with the current season.
I feel like doing it twice would be too obvious, especially twice in a row.Digitalize said:

Episode 1: Seven Thirty-Seven
Episode 4: Down
Episode 10: Over
Episode 13: ABQ

Vince & co keep joking about this in the podcast. Last week they said the S3 titles were a code for the GPS coordinates of the container Jimmy buried after finding it in his dad's old shop.e21Mark said:
Did anyone get the point of the bit with the car getting stuck at the oil field?
Probably a tease pointing towards what happened at the very end of the episode. We're slowly starting to see Saul though, what he did to Irene was just plain wrong!

[spoiler]My knee-jerk thought was that Mike would be the new owner of a laundrette on paper with a 200k loan from Gus, or maybe the manager with a 50k per year salary... something like that anyway.. There has to be some way the two start working together and this seemed like a nice-and-easy solution [/spoler]
On a side note...
The bit I don't get about BCS is that Gus Fring appears in it as a big-enough player and has obvious tie-ins to BB, but he doesn't appear as a player in BB until season 3? I've not re-watched BB recently, but are there any subtle clues to his existence?
Doh! and regarding my theory... Doh!On a side note...

I felt so bad for Irene!Also notice how as the amount Jimmy has to gain increases, so does his immorality:
$700 = Bamboozle a grunt into getting someone off Community Service
$7,000 = Fake fall, feign injury
$1,160,000 = Manipulate an old woman to the point she's alienated from her friends, crying and upset

What podcast are people listening to??
https://audioboom.com/channel/bettercallsaulinside...I never realised that Rhea (as in Seehorn) was pronounced "Ray". I'd assumed "Ria" and couldn't work out who they were talking about at first.

Youngsyr certainly wasted a lot of time typing those money laundering posts huh 
No comment!I've been advising companies like this for over 15 years and I can tell you that successful entrepreneurs in relatively big businesses do not spend any time working on the shop floor.
And a car park attendant suddenly being paid $10,000 a week? Security consultancy is an established industry, with well-known companies working in it who would provide a team of industry experts for that price, let alone one retired cop who was making minimal wage the in the prior tax year.
This absolutely reeks of something fishy going on (which is why Mike was so reluctant to sign up to it).
However, the producers do seem to have something planned for this story line though, so let's see how it plays out.

Nope - if anything the ongoing explanation makes it worse! How many big shots, with connections to multi-nationals, work regular shifts in a fried chicken restaurant?!

Isn't that the point? He's trying to be relatively low key because he's more than 'just a drug dealer'. From what I recall from BrBa he was a General in Pinochet's army.

Is the company taking on Mike as a consultant in order to give him a legitimate stream of income any more absurd than Lidia running a meth business alongside Fring?
