YUP.

Seeing Jay Johnston put a huge smile on my face.

It's also brutal seeing the glimmer of Jimmy still shining on occasion and having that just get bulldozed by Saul. Now he just can't help himself, and it's gonna do something terrible to Kim.

Nacho is still the worst and most fucked though. That dude is so low on the totem pole he's lucky Mike is willing to throw him a bone.

I mean, we at least know Nacho makes it out, right? There's that reference to him in Breaking Bad.

Kim and Nacho. I feel for those two so much.

[RandomAct]

I can't remember the last time that my heart just ached for a character like it does for Kim.  Jimmy is just so GD frustrating.

[Craig H]

We all knew going into that meeting he was going to fuck things up somehow, but him dropping that $4 million number along with playing the DVD and seeing how he screwed Kim was legit one of the most shocking things to happen in this series. And saddest too. I just sat there stunned at watching that all play out.

[Rocco]

Kim got outlawyered.  I'm so happy we have finally gotten to full blown Saul.   

[quackhell]

It was almost cruel to dangle that moment at the end teasing Kim getting out. I mean we all know she won't and it's going to be an absolute heartbreaker in the end, but then that last line. Ugh brutal. Kim...NOOOOO!

What's the endgame with this stuff Jimmy's pulling on Howard?  I just can't see where that thread is heading.

A destroyed life. Saul knows no boundaries.

That was my guess too.

"This is Mr. X"

"It's my work name."

That was maybe the funniest bit of dialogue I have heard in ages.

TREVOR!  Steven Ogg pretty much only plays one character in everything, but he's great in that role.  So cool to see him come back after one brief scene in season one.

I assume he just wants to fuck Howard over out of spite, his revenge for Howard making him feel small by offering him a job.

The stuff with Howard could also maybe be connected to Jimmy still working out his feelings about Chuck.

Gus blew up a building using a chicken. Legend.

I'm still in awe. I can't stop thinking about it. You can all be concerned for Kim or Nacho or whatever. But Gus used a chicken hitting a fryer to fry a fried chicken joint. GOAT.

[Craig H]

So Vince is the director for next week's episode. He said it was the hardest thing he's ever directed and Bob Odenkirk said he (Bob) almost died during the filming of it. I have no idea what to expect, but I'm shocked there's already only 3 episodes left.

I'm guessing Nacho's dad gets butchered or something.

There was an awesome character moment when Gus is setting up his Chicken Bomb when he stops for a second to inspect the cleanliness of the fryer basket.

I giggled like a child at that. Give them all the Emmys. 

[RandomAct]

Gus also removed it from the freezer and carefully unwrapped it as if he was about to prepare it to be cut and cooked.

We sure do know this is the case

[Technico Support]

Good ol' Herr Schuler.  Dude loves him some dippin' sauces.

[Curt McGirt]

My guess is that him and Gus were both freedom fighters during the Pinochet era.

I LOLed at Luftwaffles.

As someone who is often made hungry by things on TV, that scene got me going like Pavlov's dog.

Yes. But like a lot of things on this show, I don't think it's the whole story. The offer makes Jimmy feel small. But he's also tried to insulate himself from guilt over Chuck's death by putting it on Howard in his own mind. And that scholarship deal at the end of last season also added some extra seasoning to his issues with Howard, where Jimmy saw a bunch of people who've been perfect citizens their whole lives never letting anyone else into the club.

Deep down, part of Jimmy is still yelling at his brother:

Gotta love how Gus' first big new food innovation was curly fries

That second one though...

[RandomAct]

He was so proud of "Spice Curls".
