She's 50. When I was young 50 defo didn't look that fit

It's a nightmare man - 15 year olds now look 25 and 50 year olds do too.

 

It is either vitamins or black magic, unsure tbh.

I've just finished binge-watching the lot over the past few weeks, and it's up there with BB for compelling viewing, plotlines and acting IMO. 

 

I'll scroll back through the thread for others comments later, but one thing that jarred with me was watching Saul and Kim bring down Howard with an almost psychopathic relish. Where did that come from? Did Saul hold Howard responsible for Chuck's death? Was it the disagreement over the Springwater settlement? And why was Kim so fully onboard? It seems like a bit of a leap in the characters, from Saul the loveable rogue, getting one over on the man, but still help out the old folk and looking after his brother, and Kim the sensible, straight one who wants to further her career, with Saul seemingly her one vice. 

 

I have to say, I wasn't convinced by their relationship in general from the off. For the first few episodes I assumed they were just friends. 

 

But that's just a couple of niggles in an otherwise amazing show.

Another one for the sex pest thread.

 

Btw Howie, what's your view on seagulls?

Concluded my Mad Men rewatch.

 

It’s time to watch the final two seasons of this masterpiece; still marvel over Jimmy cross examining Chuck.

 

Extraordinary piece of business.

I moved from BCS straight to a rewatch of BrBa (well, naturally). Saul's character in BrBa is a tad different from BCS, so the Howard campaign and the "friend of the cartel" aspirations I see as an attempt to move the character gradually towards a lawyer criminal he is in BrBa.
