Yes. But that alone doesn't mean too much. Law students work side jobs or even internships in mail rooms and some law firms put (some of their) new hires there for a while.

In Kim's case, it was mentioned multiple times that HHM put her through law school. That's a pretty strong indicator that she worked there before going to school.

Saw a commercial the other night, Season four is Summer 2018.

I've been thinking that Jimmy -> Saul due to something Chuck ends up doing to prevent Jimmy from besmirching the good McGill brand.

With the end of last season, I'm kind of thinking that Jimmy becomes Saul to distance himself from some nut job thing Chuck ends up doing.

Looking forward to another Gene in Omaha scene. One scene per year -- the slowest developing story in television history.

That really sucks given that last year it aired in April, and the first 2 seasons aired in Feb. It's getting later every year!

I don't think we know that. If I remember, what we actually saw was him kicking over a lantern and starting a fire. I kinda suspect the fire department and EMTs will arrive in time to save him.

But, I think I saw somewhere conjecture that Michael McKean didn't renew. So maybe you're right, they'll just kill Chuck off.

chuck isn't definitely dead.

Quote:

Sepinwall: You killed a lot of notable characters in your Breaking Bad scripts, starting with the death of one of the Cousins in your first. Does this feel any different to you, in terms of the context of how Chuck is going?

Writer of the finale: Obviously, the ending’s a little ambiguous, but whatever happens, it’s obviously hugely impactful for Chuck. He’s a main character, he’s an actor I love, and it’s also a fairly intense emotional breakdown and scene. So this felt really significant. You want to do it right.

with that said, i do think he's dead, and i do think that's the right choice for the show. if he comes back i'd probably look past that though, because the actor and the character are just great.

the gale comparison is totally different. this is just after that episode ended:

Quote:

Sepinwall: We can talk about the future in a little bit, but right now I want to talk about that scene. You wrote it, you directed it, and it sounds to me like you don’t intend for there to be any ambiguity by the way you cut the final bit of it.

Gilligan: In my mind, no, I don’t intend for there to be any ambiguity. Let me start this by saying I always am reluctant to tell the audience afterward what to think or how to feel. I really prefer it when the audience comes to their own conclusions. But in honest answer to your question, I never really intended for there to be any ambiguity. But it’s funny: in the editing room, my editor and some other people were saying that the way it counter-dollies around, it looks like he’s changing his point of aim before he pulls the trigger. For what it’s worth, I did not intend for it to feel that way. I’ve been hearing from the people who’ve already seen it that it looks like he’s changing where he’s aiming. That is not intentional. I did not see it that way when I was directing. It’s not wrong for you to think he shot this guy.

only caveat i'd add to this is i'm not sure if gilligan or whoever has spoken since the above quote about chuck, but i don't think they have.

edit - michael mckean seems sure he's dead, but this is again from last june. i think in conclusion he's very very likely dead, though if this were a worse show you could see him surviving.

Quote:

Though the last scene was somewhat ambiguous — and though TV demises aren’t as conclusive as they used to be — the actor confirmed that what viewers saw was Chuck’s death.

“We’re saying that’s the end,” he said.

Mr. McKean called recently to discuss Chuck’s exit, his Mylar man cave and the joy of destruction. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Are we sure Chuck is definitely a goner?

I am. I know they want to bring me in for some flashbacks this coming season, but that’s kind of beside the point. One of the things that made Jimmy Saul Goodman is the burden of, if not guilt, then that nagging feeling of having being somehow involved [in Chuck’s demise]. So that’s what he has to deal with, and it’s one of the things that made him wind up in a Cinnabon in Omaha.

edit again - more from peter gould in june here, http://deadline.com/2017/06/better-c...mc-1202116058/

Enjoyed the first 2 seasons, but not sure I could sit and watch both before binging season 3. They are good but just so much backstory character development. Ran off 7 episodes of S3, 2 nights ago easily. So ready for S4. It got me wondering though.

In the opening scene of each season, we see "Gene" in the present day. First season, he gets out his old Saul Goodman vhs tapes. Second season, he gets locked in the compactor room and contemplates calling the police. Last season, he narks out a shoplifter to the cops, but then stands up and yells, "Say nothing, Get a Lawyer".

Wonder what kind of timeframe those scenes are? Do you/we think those happen all in the same pressure-filled week?

How long after BB do they take place? Months? Weeks?

I suppose we will know if there will be a S5 when the opening scene is over. If Gene gets outed as Saul, series over I'd guess.

Do you think it’s important to know in what timeframe those scenes take place or how long after BB they happen?

I can see some scenarios where that might be relevant but in most cases I would think that ‘in the years after BB’ would be enough information.

Na I don't think it's important to the story/plot line what time frame these take place. Just curious as to how long he held out before relapsing back into the life. He did well after he arrived in ABQ. Stayed clean for 3+ years until season 1 happened.

Do we know how long Walt took to get back and settle up? Wonder if Gene will get caught before or after Walts death?

In my opinion, Gene could only last about 2 months before he got bored of that life.
