[silent_jonny]

PING!

Episode 8 premiers tonight @ 9pm Eastern on AMC

[silent_jonny]

Correction--Vince Gilligan didn't write this one, only directed.

Gordon Smith is the writer (he wrote and directed the best episode of this season, imo, Nacho's finale)

[silent_jonny]

Taking a closer look at the clue ...

Black & white ... a possible Gene Scene?

A beach.

I thought the creature might be a land crab, the mascot of Jimmy's alma mater, but that's probably a stretch.

Looks more like an insect. A roach?

[silent_jonny]

Oh yeah ... in the last episode, Lalo saw a roach scurry by in the sewer and it reminded him of Jimmy.

BCS Bump! Wondering when Carol Burnette makes her appearance.....lol

[ChessExpert]

I stopped watching after the lead actor told electors that they did not have to vote for Trump.

If you can, watch Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye

[silent_jonny]

I heard about that. She was at Odenkirk's Walk of Fame party, so maybe her appearance in the show is more than just a cameo.

They already killed off Jimmy's mom.

Could she be Kim's mom, present day?

[silent_jonny]

They’re really emphasizing the Gene scenes ahead of this episode.

[silent_jonny]

The beach ... in color.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well Bob is a hardcore libtard. As are most involved with shows and movies. I watch because its one of the very few shows on that have been worth my time to watch and get some enjoyment from.

[silent_jonny]

Oh—staged Howard’s “suicide”.

[TomServo]

Yup.

[Radix]

Gotta wait until tomorrow to view. I simply have too much going on. Busy week.

Will this be the episode when Kim ‘gets it?’

[silent_jonny]

Agreed.

If we boycotted every show, movie, book author because of their politics we'd never enjoy anything.

[Secret Agent Man]

At the same time there are some people I would actively not watch because I can’t separate their libtardness from their show or movie.

Not many but a number of them.

Don’t really have to much, because most of what they produce simply doesn’t appeal to me in the first place.

[silent_jonny]

Jimmy is trying to save Kim ... He knows Lalo will kill them both, regardless.

[Secret Agent Man]

I doubt it.

I don’t think she gets it.

I think she is the one the checks labeled Ice Station Zero go to. I don’t think it is just sentimentalness the holding company was named that.

Think also that Saul would be masively crushed and depressed losing Kim if she was murdered. We are getting very, very close to his first meetup with Walter, and he was a happy swinging dude then and it wouldn’t fit.

No, I believe Kim gets Hoover extracted away. This is how Saul first finds the vacuum repair guy that gives people new identities elsewhere.

[silent_jonny]

Stephen King is one for me.

I used to read all of his books, but I can't stand him anymore. Gave my collection of his books to the library.

[Secret Agent Man]

I agree. Stephen King ruined Stephen King for me.
