I mentioned this to someone right after the show and they thought it was insignificant but...the last scene when Jimmy says something like "I'm going to get my partner back and we are going to build a bigger and better law firm", the guy responds "so...law. Ok." I think he means Francesca instead of Kim, going all the way back to that opening scene. He's probably developed the idea in his mind at this point, and either wants to keep Kim out of it or knows Kim won't go along with it. Jimmy got an unusual look on his face when the guy said "so...law", which might indicate he's already envisioned that his law firm will be more of a front than a true law firm.

Boy, that Gus monologue just did not work at all last night. That was one of the most tedious moments of the entire series. And for a series that can be generously described as a 'slow burn', that's saying a lot.
I love the back-story on the superlab, though. Obviously a little fan servicey but still awfully cool. It also appears that Kim's love of the law is as likely to push Jimmy away as anything Jimmy does. Can we please feel bad for Howard yet? C'mon - Howard means well and he wanted no part of this pissing match between Jimmy and Chuck. He tried to mediate on multiple occasions and has, at several times, felt genuine compassion and empathy for Jimmy. Hell, he's even demonstrated some pride and happiness for Jimmy's success. Poor Howard doesn't deserve this shit... |

It'd be like if Mike gave the "I killed my boy" speech at the end of S3 of Breaking Bad instead of the half measures monologue. We'd have no context in which to connect to the character if that were the case. |

Regarding 'the tipping point'
You don't think we just saw it? Wexler and McGill just vanished in a puff of smoke and Jimmy's openly fencing burner phones to build a bankroll. For all the talk about Chuck putting him over the edge - sure as shit looks like Ms. Wexler did the job to me... |
Kai's death is going to be great. What a jerkoff.

Howard is Hank.
He might end up being the only lawful and “good” person we see in the show. |

Actually a little disappointed from a POV of verisimilitude with the plainclothes cop narrative.
I understand that it fits the narrative structure and sets up future events, but as a realistic and practical manner any decent investigator with knowledge of the source of the drug trade's communications methods would work behind the scenes to get subpoenas for Jimmy's merchandise train. That way they can surreptitiously get data on who the phones get distributed to and what they say on them before coming down on the whole organization. Now that the drug trade is clued in to the value of burner phones in their enterprise, moving one dude off one street corner isn't going to do shit, except make the next effort to counter the exchanges that much harder. |
