BCS 3x05 / BCS 2x08: Parallels. The clock on the wall in the courtroom is removed at 12:16 pm, prior to Chuck’s testimony.
Q: When Chuck is telling his story in the opening flashback about why there’s no electricity, he mentions that it’s because the electric company applied his payments to someone else’s bill, that they transposed the address numbers. Is that deliberately a little nod to Jimmy’s Mesa Verde scheme? A - Gordon Smith: “Yes, absolutely. We kind of thought that was a fun little callback. It’s Jimmy’s Mesa Verde scheme, but in this case, it’s coming out of Chuck. There’s a certain way that Jimmy, as he’s becoming Saul, seems to absorb ideas from people, and then puts his own spin on them and then uses them in his own way, and we thought that would be a fun one to bring back, especially for this episode.” – from ‘Better Call Saul’ Postmortem: The Truth of Chuck’s Illness and Jimmy’s Big Play (YahooTV)
Happy Memorial Day from The Heisenberg Chronicles.
