"Palm Springs Sprinklers" is where Gene called Kim last episode, and apparently, he did reach her there.

Some enterprising youtuber managed to filter part of the audio so we can hear fragments of the conversation--in English, this time. Click the pic.

My guess is that if someone could find the audio, then it was meant to be found, even though it was silent during the broadcast.

and what does it say?

Analyzing the photo for tonight's episode for clues ...

I just noticed a woman's finger (Kims?) pointing up at the billboard.

We know the billboard has to be in Florida, so does that mean we'll cut to Kim at some point?

It's dark and raining there ... Other than snow, we've never seen any weather on either BB or BCS.

Does 1978 have any meaning?

All I could find was the wine that Gus sampled a few episodes ago, during his uncomfortable flirting scene, was a 1978 vintage.

Click the photo and the video will play with subtitles. It’s only a few seconds long.

Great work by the YouTuber. But none of that dialog was very surprising or illuminating.

In 25-words or les, what is the deal with BCS? Why dos it seem like a kind of big deal?

[Antihero101607]

I was watching a video on that last Tuesday morning where it was alleged that the show was also aired in Germany, and some of that audio could be heard, and was later translated.

Jimmy/Gene asks Kim, "What do you say we do?"

Appears that Kim's response was something like: "We? This is your mess, not mine." Or, "Turn yourself in." Or, "I can't help you. Never call me again."

Whatever she said, it sets Jimmy off.

It wouldn't make any sense for Jimmy to ask what they would do ... UNLESS ... Kim actually did have some involvement in the Breaking Bad story. The last we saw of Kim before the time jump, she was packing her things, so we don't know for sure that she didn't have some involvement.

Having a hard time watching Season 6. It gets real uninteresting.

Having a hard time watching Season 6. It gets real uninteresting.

My wife, who has been a devoted fan for the previous five seasons, agrees with you. She says the last few episodes have been outright boring but the whole season has been plodding.

I'm an even bigger fan. I understand what she's saying but I'm holding out hope that the producers are going to end this with a bang. Two episodes left though. They better get to it.

In 25-words or les, what is the deal with BCS? Why dos it seem like a kind of big deal?

Well ... lol

It's a spinoff/prequel of Breaking Bad--one of the greatest, if not the greatest, television shows ever made.

Somehow, in spite of the odds against it, BCS has emerged from BB's shadow and has become it's own unique phenomena. In my opinion, it's even better than BB.

Both shows are morality stories, bad choices leading to (often) violent consequences.

I'm already over my 25 word limit, so I'll stop :)

Something bad must happen to his super smart girl friend. Either that or she washes her hands of him and goes on to bigger and better things. She’s absent from Breaking Bad and the first epi of Season 1, when he’s making cinnabuns in Oklahoma. The only question is which one, and I get little help in caring which thing happens. It’s all this elaborate prank on his dead brother’s partner.

"We? This is your mess, not mine." Or, "Turn yourself in." Or, "I can't help you. Never call me again."

So, you're saying Better NOT Call Saul? That's sorta going against the concept of the title . . I would think.

[silent_jonny]

Well he’s Gene now so it’s okay.

I took some screen shots of the re-created Breaking Bad scenes from last week and then the original scene from the first season (where they recruit Saul to help get Badger released from jail). After very close examination at high resolution I have concluded that is the exact same necktie 14 years later. It's fairly unique and distinct pattern. So they either kept the wardrobe inventory from the show intact or that's Bob's own tie that he kept.
