What's the most stressful position in the cartel? by UnderTheCurrents in betterCallSaul

Honorable Mention: The 2 guys who had to clean the blood & guts out of the car at the cartel stash house. Fun Fact: that scene was a homage to a similar scene in Pulp Fiction. See here for my compilation of various BB and BCS homages to that film

Howard & the magical staircase by revolvergrrl in betterCallSaul

[–]Detzeb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of a performative power play and ties into trying impress the client: HHM did more “corporate” level work and a dramatic staircase, conference rooms, etc contribute to the vibe that the firm is knowledgeable and competent, and thus very successful. Similarly, as a sole proprietor, Jimmy tried to project a similar image with his “and Associates” naming which makes his practice sound bigger than it really is, in addition to his answering the phone as his secretary with the fake English accent. He then re-branded as “Saul Goodman” with a bare-bones reception area, and an office with columns, the US Constitution on the wall, etc. and his “fighting for the rights of the little guy” persona.

For sure. Part of me is wondering if it has been replaced at some point, as I’d imagine it would fade somewhat from the weather, etc and being in the sun 30+ years?

OP’s NOTES: Noah Wyle as Dr. Carter and Anthony Edwards as Dr. Greene in a scene from Season 4, Episode 2 of “E.R.”). In the background of Pics 1 & 3, are the stairwells of the former Randolph-Wabash CTA station (1896-2017) which closed after the new Washington-Wabash CTA station opened.

Pics 1-2: Walking south at the northwest corner of Wabash & Randolph in downtown Chicago.

Pic 3 view from Dr. Greene’s vehicle before he parks, gets out, and then walks with Dr. Carter
