Love this show.

Ok. I'm now ready to say Better Caul Saul is a top 10 show on tv.
It has consistently impoved week after week. Can't wait to see how the new "big case" turns out.

A story about an unlucky, down and out attorney and an old retired cop working in a ticket booth isn't supposed to be this engaging. But I am glued to the seat every Monday night.

I love the little BB callbacks and easter eggs....

"You don't want to go off half-c**ked" "Full-c**ked" -- As in half-measures/full-measures...noice.

With Chuck using his code, that's probably the loophole Howard/HHM will use to take the class action case from Jimmy.

And I expect Gus to make an appearance by season's end....

Overall....love this show so far.

Yeah, I'm expecting Jimmy to get shafted by HHM and that will be his breaking point when he starts doing more shady stuff because he can't win being the good guy.

They did a job on me. Ended the episode with Chuck outside. Looked like he was so involved in work he forgot about the electronic waves. I haven't yelled Oh Isht at my TV for a long, long, time Hope he's going to stay well. He's sharp.

LL I don't know when the worm's gonna turn but I don't think it's going to happen on this case.

Great episode, but I could have done without that cliffhanger at the end with the electromagnetism reaction thing. That storyline seemed to be progressing with Michael McKean getting better, and then to pull the rug out from underneath at the end felt a little cheap. Hopefully the next episode is McKean either realizing that he's cured or him hitting bottom. Either way, the storyline on his illness needs to progress.

they probably can't take away the case completely from Jimmy because he is representing legitimate clients... Chuck using his code to copy files might not be sufficient enough to take away the case, but definitely HHM will get a huge slice of the pie due to Chuck's involvement... probably HHM will use that as leverage to whatever they want to do.

lmao this show is fantastic. Jimmy's situation is following the Walter White "two steps forward, one step back" series of evolution.

I was expecting Jimmy to take Kim while they were in the empty corner office room.

Halfway through episode 9 and it's become apparent to me that the bro might be the bad guy holding back Saul...not Howard.

Mike's just to kool. I loved the way he took out the bad ass. Threw his guns in the trash can.

He also bluffed the dealer He's one hellofa poker player. What's his reason for not carrying a gun?

I hate Mike sold Jimmy out. He made him look like a fool. I think he may go back to his electronic waves mania.

He didn't leave the house at the close of the show. I have a feeling Kim and Jimmy are going to partner.

This was just a well crafted end result. You could feel the "Skylar already knows about the phone Walt" as Jimmy was listening to his brother. This and the Mike episode = a great season alone, anything from the finale is icing on the cake.

Someone on the casting team must play lots of video games. Tonight was like a GTA V reunion

. I hope Trevor Phillips makes a return.

Oh and of course the Far Cry 3 dude is back.

And someone help me out: Chuck's disease is primarily caused by Jimmy's increasing clout as a lawyer, right? And he was only getting "better" because he thought he had formulated a plan that would bring Jimmy back down to earth, correct? "Slippin Jimmy" must've done some truly horrible things to induce that much mental anxiety in Chuck.

Lame that his brother would undermine him and backstab him...and you can see this being how he becomes Saul the lawyer ... But what ultimately happens to Jimmy? His brother is right. "I know you. I know what you were, what you are." Slippin Jimmy with a law degree is dangerous. Love pulling for him, though.
