she is transitioning into her new form
decent episode but still has the same basic flaw as season 2: i don't really give a shit about Jimmy, his brother, Kim, etc. The only thing truly great in the show is Mike and his arc. And I already know the end too, which is a problem. Mike, his daughter in law, and grandkid are all alive. Jimmy is alive and goes from his current clueless semi scumbag with a heart of gold to a slightly ... more criminal? version of himself that dresses colorfully. His brother and kim probably die or go to jail because he fucks them over, accidentally. Thats it. There are no great character arcs or mysteries.
I guess maybe we'll see what happens in his cinnabon timeline but while its interesting to sorta watch, again, I'm not really sure I care.

This right here. Does anyone remember why Saul bailed in breaking bad? I remember that he went first, and I thought it was because the neo-nazis were after anyone connected to Walt...Then I thought it might be to evade the police. Which brings me to my next question. Does Saul know that Walt wasted the skin heads yet? The ending of breaking bad strikes me as something that would have been national news in universe when it happened.

The Nazis weren't even after him. It wasn't until he decided to try and strike up another deal with them and Claudia that they decided he had to go. Hell the Nazis even let him keep some of the money.
They both left 100% because of law enforcement coming down on them.

Yeah I think they made it pretty clear he fled because he's wanted by the law. Remember at the beginning of last season when Cinnabon Saul gets trapped in the mall dumpster room after work, he thinks about using the emergency exit but sees the "warning, alarm will sound" sign. Instead of using the exit like most people would do he sits down and waits for hours for the mall janitor to open the locked door. Because he wants no reason for any cops to talk to him.
Also at the beginning of this season he tries to avoid talking to the mall cops when they ask if he saw the shoplifting kid. They have to ask him like 4 times before he finally looks up and points. It will be interesting to see what happens after he passed out behind the Cinnabon counter. If he ends up in the hospital and they're trying to pull up medical records for "Gene", etc.
I thought it was a good episode, yeah it drug on a bit in some parts but after this season of Walking Dead it felt like content overload.

he looks kinda like Gus, but maybe its because i am a massive racist. i thought the conspiracies during Breaking Bad was that Gus was secretly gay and he lost his best butt buddy due to the cartels?

one is a black kid, the other is a latino...
their only similarity is that they wear glasses.

Yeah there were several things wrong with the tracker stuff. It looked like an RF unit, which would have a relatively tiny range.
