I didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet but a few days ago Tony Sirico aka Paulie Walnuts of The Sopranos passed away at 79.

So Better Call Saul:
[SHOW]
Who here thinks the show will end with Jimmy coming across Kim in his future life as Gene the Cinnabon Manager in Omaha? Remember, she grew up in Nebraska, so when she leaves Jimmy, what if that's where she goes?

Agreed! Damn for having to wait once a week to watch.

I covered that in a previous post. Not tooting horn. But that seemed to be the obvious direction when the camera set on Omaha license plate for a good minute in the Kim flashback.

I am glad they didn't make her the "numb" character Skylar was. Been there done that.

The "One! Armani suits! Two Air Jordans! for you" line in the teaser in black and white makes me think something good is happening with Gene as he figures out who Jeff The Cab Driver is. He's hijacked an intercom for some reason. Wonder why?

I am more interested in how Gustavo gets in good with DEA. That's something we have not seen yet.

Walt and Jesse are in the next episode!

Comedy legend Carol Burnett will guest star too. Not sure who she'd play. Kim's mom? Howard's mom?

I think if the last couple seasons of GOT (particularly that last season) would have been better, then I think most people would be more hyped up...but for me at least GOT kind of put a damper on any excitement.

that being said, I'll def check it out though to see how it is

In a little over a month, this will arrive on Amazon Prime:
The Rings of Power: Lord of the Rings TV show wows fans at Comic-Con

The Rings of Power is the most expensive show ever made, at $1bn (£832m) for five seasons - and this is fans' best guide to how it will look, sound and feel.

But what everyone really wants to know is, can it compete with Peter Jackson's beloved Lord of the Rings film trilogy, the winner of 17 Oscars, benchmark for composers, and populariser of second breakfast?

Wisely, it's not trying - instead setting the action 4,000 years before the Hobbits Frodo and Sam journeyed through Middle Earth. This is the Second Age, where the 20 Rings of Power are forged and the evil Sauron, Lord of Mordor, rises to assault the realms' hard-won peace.

The source material is Tolkien's appendix to the Lord of the Rings books. The core question: "How far into the darkness would you go to protect the things you care about the most?" says McKay's fellow showrunner JD Payne.
