OT: Anybody else realize Better Call Saul...

[Rockydawg]

Is the story of Esau and Jacob in Genesis? Perhaps Germans. That's why I'm ASKING.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Didn't realize that but that's pretty cool. So, biblically speaking, who is Mike?

 

[Rockydawg]

The dynamic between Chuck and Jimmy is definitely Esau and Jacob.
The rest of the story may stand on its own.

Can Saul throw a Strike?

It's funny Fargo referenced this exact thing last week. This season revolves around a brotherly feud. I believe the character says 14 chapters of Genesis are devoted to feuding brothers.

Question about the show. In the beginning episodes, the storyline with Jimmy getting the two scam artist kids to fake getting hit, then ending up tied up in the desert etc. Was it ever stated that what is going on right now predated that initial storyline? It kind of seems like it was out of place now at the beginning. It is almost like it is two different shows.

On the last episode Howard opened a 35 yr old bottle of scotch at Chuck's. The label said 1966 meaning it was currently 2001. Breaking Bad started in 2008 assuming Breaking Bad was set in current time.

I initially thought the same thing, but this isn't necessarily true. 35 years is how long the Scotch had been aged in a barrel. It could have been bottled and spent some time in the distribution chain.
