Loving the first 4 episodes so far. Saw a rerun of breaking bad and Saul got his accreditation from University of America Samoa? Wtf. Flashback to the beaches in Samoa? |

I felt so bad for him when that woman told him he only defends guilty people. But that was the turning point, right there.
Some brilliant stuff in this episode.
I loved the scene when his brother leaves the house to get that paper from the neighbor. So dramatic. The camera angle, the sound effects. etc.
Both cons fooled me. Didn't expect them at all. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

She gave him the retainer right after she said that. Doesn't that say she's guilty? From what I glean, they got off and kept the money.

So far I'm loving this show. It's first 4 episodes have engaged me more than Breaking Bad's first 4 episodes (I thought season 1 of BB was it's weakest). |

Agree 100%. Jimmy/Saul is just so likable. Sure Walt was easy to root for but it's different. I caught up on BB around season 3 so I didn't have to wait between eps in the first couple seasons but I dont think I would have been as impatient between episodes as I am with BCS and the last 3 seasons of BB. When Gus came into BB it really changed everything. |

Saul isn't some tough guy with big muscles or a gun and badge. He's a slick talking, sneaky SOB and it's pretty damn entertaining watching him "work". Love the show so far. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

She gave him the retainer right after she said that. Doesn't that say she's guilty? From what I glean, they got off and kept the money.
Saul can talk the sweet out of sugar. |
No wonder people get so salty with him! |

I agree... BB s01 was not that strong but was good enough to get you to follow... then Gus Fring happened, made a lot of difference to that show. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

I thought when he was calculating the money it was to present a legal service bill. Saul said he couldn't take any money to be quiet, he could take a retainer.
If I read it right he's their lawyer. Nacho said the cops may believe that camping story but he didn't. I took that as he got them off and didn't say anything about the money.
I wonder if Nacho is going to go away? Saul convinced him whoever warned the family did him a favor. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

He's not their lawyer, they clearly turned him down. They gave him hush money and he used it on the billboard, suit, stunt/con etc. |

You can see he still has his scruples when he tried to turn them down. He revers back to Saul the con man when it's evident he accepts the bribe. |

Going over it in my mind, you guys may be right. I drew my conclusion because I thought when he was counting the money he was giving it legal presence.
How's he going to explain how he paid for expensive suits, the bill board etc.? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think that's why he was making up bs billing of fictitious clients with the calculator. He even said something to the effect of "What's a top notch lawyer's hourly? $950/hour". There went a stack...so on and so forth. |

C'mon jodeke it couldn't be any clearer that they turned him down. Leaves me to wonder about your interpretation of other films.
