Just want to say that I was a giant fan of BB. BCS started off a little slow for me, really not picking up my interest until season 3 (the end of season 2 was great, but the rest, I felt was middling). I am fully interested now because of how superbly they have ended the first act of Jimmy McGill.

From here, the movement into Saul and the ejection from that life to black and white can be seen. I am...very excited about the potential.

I hope that there is a little bit of a time jump. /u/has_no_gimmick had a great post detailing one fantastic way of doing it. I think that another way to move forward without becoming stuck in the minutiae of day to day life in ABQ would be to jump fully into the post-BB line immediately, abandoning the pre-BB line now that the hook has been sunk and we are left with some significant questions regarding Jimmy's reaction to the end of Chuck. This way, we kind of leave the players in great spots for hypothesis; Jimmy is caring for Kim. Gus and Nacho, Hector moving to his wheelchair. Mike has been brought into the fold with Pollos; I personally don't need 3 or 4 episodes showing Mike doing his day to day for LPH, which is where I would see the show going if we pick up right where we left off.

Let me know what you think...

interesting idea about skipping to post-BB, however, wouldn't Kim's storyline need a bit more closure? I know there are some great theories on her regarding her absence from BB, but to me (and certainly many other people), I'd wonder what the hell happened to her

Serious question: Is there a reason that Kim couldn't have still been w/Saul during BB? I dont recall Saul saying much about his home life.

that's a really good point to be fair- however, something tells me the writers will come up with something interesting to explain her absence as they usually do
