Better Call Saul - Speculation

I have to admit, as much as I loved, loved, loved Breaking Bad, I might just be loving BCS more. Probably because of the relative lack of violence.

So here's what I'm wondering: what are your thoughts of what happens between Chuck and his wife? I don't think we have learned anything at all about that yet. Her being a violinist is going to play some sort of role, right? But what? I know it is going to tie into the story, and possibly into BB as well, somehow. What do you think?

Also, I have a predictions for an easter egg: at some point, we're going to see one of the law firms getting involved in Walt's former-partners' biotech company. That occurred to me when Kim was making all of her outreach calls.

I wish this were a Netflix series that got all released at once. It is too good to only have an hour per week!

One more: how many BB characters do you think will appear in BCS? So far we have Nacho, Tuco and Tio Salomanco. Who else?

Loving this show so much!

Syntax

I'm not trying to make light of this very serious event, but is it just me or is this sentence very poorly worded?

BRISBANE — A dismembered body found near a San Francisco Bay Area pier belonged to a woman reported missing by her husband, who jumped off the Bay Bridge after police recovered her mutilated torso, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT) is a superdelegate

He has promised his support to HRC. He insists that no matter how his state votes, his support remains with HRC, because he promised it and he is keeping his word.

Is that a good thing? I'm very conflicted about this. Are superdelegates supposed to take into consideration what the rest of their state thinks, or do they just get to do whatever they want with their vote(s)? It doesn't seem right, to me.

Just remember:

Scalia is still dead.

"Dead Judge" - Rude Pundit has his say...

It doesn't matter if dead Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia loved his family and was loved by them. It doesn't fucking matter if Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was best buds with him. It doesn't fucking matter that he was smart or funny or that he had a great singing voice or that he could cook like your Italian grandma. It doesn't fucking matter if there were times that Scalia ruled on the side of liberals in free speech or warrantless search cases. None of that fucking matters. Because Antonin Scalia was a poison to the nation, a dick who was proud of how dickish he could be, and the thing that most of us on the left felt upon hearing that he was dead was relief and "Oh, thank fucking Christ." The only difference between you and the Rude Pundit is that you might have felt a little guilt after thinking that. As for the Rude Pundit? Fuck dancing on Scalia's grave. He's ready to have rough anal sex on it before the dirt even settles and then wipe himself off with the pages of a Bible.

Let's put aside Scalia's bitterly pissy dissents, where he sought not just to counter the arguments of the majority but to degrade them, mock them, and bully them. Let's put aside Scalia's place in the conservative party circuit, where he drank and laughed with the political power players and then pretend he'd rule fairly when they came before him. Instead, let's just look at Scalia when he was either writing for the majority or concurring with it, where his cuntistry had the fullest effect on the lives of Americans.

(snip)

The Rude Pundit would like to think that Scalia is in Hell now, chained to a bed on his stomach next to William Rehnquist, who looks over at him and says, "Don't worry. After the first few times, you realize that getting ass-fucked by the barbed dicks of demons isn't so bad. Now, the red hot pokers, those'll wake you up." And then he gets to see a liberal take his place on the court.

Thought experiment: what if Trump promised to go after Bush et al for 9/11?

and the Iraq war lies and all that? Is he angry enough about it, as he seems to be, to say that he would hold them accountable?

Wouldn't that be an interesting turn of events?
