Mike is covered in liver spots and clearly doesn't want to be doing this anymore. He's barely in it and sleepwalks through every scene.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
The first season of BCS had passable de-aging on all of the actors and actresses for the most part. But now they are not even trying. Gus and Mike look like they are being dragged out of their deathbeds to film each scene. Jimmy and Kim look older on BCS than they are in real life. They are supposed to be a young married couple. Watching Mike do any action sequence is so bad I just have to laugh at this point thinking of how miserable it must be for the actor.
I still think of DeNiro doing that awful scene in The Irishman where he is beating up the shopkeeper for messing with his daughter. I just think that he likely was exhausted doing the scene and saw how bad it was on film when they showed it to him after. And he wanted to punish stupid Scorsese for not hiring a stunt double and pushed for the scene to be left as is. And he refused to reshoot it after one take knowing how awful it was.

It keeps making me think I'm watching an alternate timeline where Gus has survived or something.
I'm not sure why. It's totally believable that the man on top is at least half a decade younger than the man on the bottom. Doesn't break the immersion at all.

Every episode has about 5-10 minutes of musical vignettes, usually at the start, to establish MYSTERY. Then there's about 10-15 minutes of chit-chat to establish CONTRAST. There's maybe 5 minutes that drive the story forward, and the only interesting thing happens at the end (TENSION). And now at the end of episode 5 we're back in The Lab\Deathstar (FAN SERVICE).
It's honestly painful how bad this show got. Howard is the only interesting character left

Gus Fring was supposed to be in complete control. He was exacting, uptight and he demanded perfection. Now he's a fatty with titties before Breaking Bad starts. That scene in the last episode where it's a low aspect shot of him walking towards the camera and you can see his big old man belly made me laugh.
damn yo Derosa is gonna be in the next episode

Thoughts on this week's episode:
About halfway through, I had to pause the show and have horrendous diarrhea. It happened during a Panera commercial, which made me loff. That's what I'll remember most about this episode. I spent most of it thinking about rewatching The Sopranos again.

Mike and kaylee scene was so gay.

It's just filler. That storyline is so boring. We already know what happens to these characters in BB, so there's zero suspense. Same with Lalo and Gus. There's honestly not much to give a fuck about until it gets back to modern-day Nebraska, in this firebrand's opinion.

This just made me think about one reason BCS is just not on BB's level. Breaking Bad was shot on film, and the wardrobe choices, set dressings, and lighting are so much more memorable. BCS is shot digitally and doesn't look bad, but it doesn't really stand out like BB did. It's more flat looking.I'm not sure why. It's totally believable that the man on top is at least half a decade younger than the man on the bottom. Doesn't break the immersion at all.
Solid points.
Tonights episode was dull, except for the Lalo scene. I thought the Mike/Kaylee scene was fine too. Honestly, I would tell you if I didn't.
It sort of made sense. The twins once pointed a gun at Kaylee as a threat. So Mike uses the excuse of "Lalo might come for them to get to me, to get to Gus" as an excuse to see his granddaughter. But like most things in BCS it just takes too long to get to the point of any scene. And this season they are really stretching things out as much as possible and we are not even halfway there yet.
I hope the mid-season finale opens with a shot of a bar of soap sitting next to a sink with a few small bubbles and a little water around it. After the intro, they have the entire episode as a montage of Fring washing his hands and looking in the mirror without any emotion, all shot from different angles. Then in the final brief shot of the show they have Kim sitting in her parked car looking apprehensive until she catches her reflection in the rear view mirror. Her mood changes to determination. Cut to the credits. 10/10. 5 stars. All the feels. BCS just hits different.
Spoiler that shit, man
It's so hard to believe this is the last season of this show and it's pretty much half way done already. When the fuck is something actually going to happen? Christ.
Also have they just abandoned the present day Saul storyline? I can't imagine how awful and forced the Jesse and Walt cameos are going to be too. Purely watching out of curiosity to see how bad this shit is going to get at this point. I'm predicting an even worse ending than game of thrones had.

What in the fuck has even happened this season? This show is really bad. Why do directors think a scene showing a character making coffee is interesting or artistic? Do Hollywood writers think a coffee machine is a space shuttle or something. They did it in Breaking Bad already anyway, showing Gale and is coffee setup. And we already know Howard is meticulous. We learned that 5 seasons ago.
And last episode, they showed Gus neatly setting out his wardrobe again. We've seen this shit already. He did it in Breaking Bad.
Why are we wasting time on Kim's childhood? What's the point of any of this?

I've loved Vince Gilligan since The X-Files days, but this show is a bore. It's film school masturbation at this point with all the wacky perspective shots and montages. I'm expecting Jimmy to have his "breaking bad" moment when Kim either runs away or gets killed.
My prediction for the final scene: Saul is working at the Cinnabon when Kim strolls in an they see each other again for first time in a decade. He's in Nebraska now, where Kim grew up.
