i thought the insurance thing was a set up to get his brother insurance taken off him, therefore no longer able to prat ice law, but not sure.

Thats the way I saw it; if Jimmy can't practise then he'll make sure Chuck cannot either.

I'm confused, surely the stealing baseball cards thing happened post Saul?

I really enjoyed yesterdays episode. The lack of income and pressure to meet rent etc looks likely to be the cause of something.

Is there a 2 week gap now? Says June 6th for next episode?

I guess it had to come, there's no mention of Kim in BB as far as I recall and she seems to be the final barrier to Jimmy becoming Saul Goodman the lawyer.

Yep, seems we'll have to go cold turkey next week. Netflix don't make BCS, although they seem to have a big part in it. AMC make it and broadcast it in the US hence there's probably a TV event on or something - does Trump's impeachment start then?

Next Monday is Memorial Day over there- a federal holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in the US armed forces. Rejigged schedules may be to do with that, I guess.

I'm a late-comer to Breaking Bad and BCS. My wife and I blitzed through all 60-odd episodes of BB over the course of a couple of months last year, and then started watching BCS a few weeks ago. It's a PITA now we have caught up and have to watch at regular pace!

In BB, Saul claims he has two ex-wives. Not by name though.

I wonder how long they can/will keep BCS going before they decide to bring it up to the start of the BB timeline?

I wondered whether they might mix the two series together -- we get to see the bits of Breaking Bad from Saul's side where he interacts with them (having seen them from Walter's side where he interacts with Saul in Breaking Bad). It would allow them to extend the run long into the BB story and allow them to continue to develop Saul/Jimmy's story.

I have to say I'm loving this season as much as the others.

Can't help wondering what happens to all the characters by the time we catch up with BB.

I'm re-watching Breaking Bad at the mo. Up to series 5. Some serious stuff must have gone down to turn Jimmy into Saul.

Snap! I'm only up to Se03 though but it does make me wonder how they are going to play it out.

Suppose even Hank can get fed into BCS since he's been DEA in the area right from the begging of BB.

Trying to avoid spoilers here. My Netflix says the latest episode available is Ep 7 - but we've seen that. Why can't I see the others all of a sudden? What number is this week's ep?

There isn't one this week due to USA hols. Next Tuesday is the next one.

One week break as it fell on America's Memorial Day. Back next week.

Ah thanks guys. Was looking forward to it, too!

Don't forget they also have Saul post-BB running a Cinnabon outlet. That could go somewhere.

New Fargo eases the pain.

I must admit, I quite enjoyed Fargo and both prior series were great too.
