    Of course it introduced the black book and vacuum cleaner business card, but I thought the scene showed the depths Jimmy and Kim will go to in order to properly execute their plan.

    He probably keeps the card to give it to others. The system already has its own security feature (the unique replacement part) so no need for further encryption.

    I got very excited when I saw the vaccum cleaner business card. RIP Robert Forster.

    Also, found this on the reddit post-episode discussion thread, but (minor spoiler)....

    You can see the vet's little contacts book at the 2:50 mark of the cold open from Season 6, Episode 1

    This was kinda of an insane episode Kim wise.

    Wears the earrings her mom stole in like every episode.

    Her mom loved her when they were scamming, so she most likely connects scams and love.

    She was headed for the right thing, the thing she thought she wanted and then turned around to do the wrong thing.

    Jimmy and Kim kissing right into log getting split.

    theres probably a lot more things i missed. But i feel pretty confident in saying things are gonna go bad real fast for Kim.

    The money is rolled. Eladio specifically told the Salamancas that it’s stacks from now on. Probably nothing, just a weird thing I noticed.

    I hope when this series is over, we can get a chronological timeline of the episodes since BCS and BB will be overlapping at some point. Would be neat to bounce back and forth and watch them in chronological order.

    Has anyone else noticed really shitty picture quality this season? I use YouTube TV and the backgrounds are always weirdly pixelated. Hard to describe but it's super distracting

    We still have 3 years of gaps to close plus post-BB and we’re currently working like a few days an episode. Lots of ground to cover. Less Mike family time plz.
    The Howard stuff has to end kim or spring Jimmy into full Saul. They’re spending way too much time on it to just wrap it up in a stand-alone fashion.
    I’d love to see it just feed into BB like that with badger, but I feel like the context clues point to us running some concurrent stuff with BB and after. Maybe that will continue to just be flash forwards.

    Idk what to even think, but they’ve earned our trust. It will be a ride.

    For you guys having picture quality issues, try using the native app on your smart TV instead of your Fire stick, Roku, etc. We noticed a huge (negative) picture quality difference on YTTV, especially for live sports, when using our Amazon Fire box vs the native TV app.

    I think something really shitty happens to Kim but i dont think she dies. the date is his birthday, so i could see them talking once a year. probably because they arent supposed to talk or something along those lines.

    but we cant rule out thats what the writers wants us to believe.

    I’m team she’s going to jail

    Edit: as a corollary, I’m more confidently team Howard ends up dead. He’s being set up as such a sympathetic character the last few episodes that he seems doomed for a tragic ending.

    Based on his reaction in the second to last episode of BB, not likely. When Robert forester took his picture in that episode, he uploaded onto a Nebraska ID. Saul scoffed and asked, “What’s in Nebraska?” and Forester responded “You are”.

    The writers seem to wiggle themselves out of corners, but this would seemingly be against canon.

    I've always thought AMC shows had iffy picture quality all around. I'm sure they're skimping on something. The show is available to buy digitally from places like Amazon though so there are high quality HD rips out there on torrance sites. Better Call Saul even has 4k rips from some Australian streaming service called Stan.

    I don't think Howard is long for this world much more

    Prediction in spoiler
    Dude drinks tea (likely uncaffeinated), leads a clean life

    They made it a point to say that the vet's drug feels like 2 red bulls on an empty stomach and that the reaction depends on the person's caffeine tolerance, Jimmy drinks coffee

    Thinking Jimmy and Kim's bribery ploy works as planned, Clifford has Sandpiper settled early as Howard blows up over the retired Judge pictures and starts going off on his Jimmy conspiracy theories, Howard has a heart attack or dies due to his reaction to the drug, won't show up on a postmortem toxicology report

    Kimmy feels no remorse

    It went over my head during the show. A podcast pointed out that Jimmy said Eisenhower wasn’t on Omaha beach. Does that tell us that Kim definitely doesn’t end up in Omaha? Was it just a little nod to gene, but nothing more?

    Wait, you guys didnt know Gaincarlo was Buggin Out?

    A few things about that movie:

    1. Just a masterpiece. Totally screwed by the academy that year.
    2. So much amazing talent in the cast (debut film for Martin Lawrence, Rosie Perez if I recall correctly).
    3. That particular scene is so great... LMAO with the crowd reaction when dude says he was born in Brooklyn.
    4. Bill Nunn (Radio Raheem) went to my high school long before me. His father (Bill Nunn Sr) is perhaps the greatest NFL scout of all time. 13 of his scouted draftees are in the NFL hall of fame. The list of players he "found" at HCBUs for the Steelers is crazy impressive.
