Man, I can't believe Bob Odenkirk didn't win an Emmy for Season 6. There are so many subtle moments like this in the show, but especially in the second half of S06, where Bob weaves himself through Gene, Saul, and Jimmy, in a few passing frames. It's beautiful.

Peter Gould mentioned this movie in the commentary of S0601.

Kim saying that had I told you about Lolo being alive, Saul would've ceased to exist, you would've become Jimmy, and, in the same breath, our relationship, too, would have ceased to exist. That I was with you for Saul, not you, Jimmy. You can see the naked hurt and pain of Kim's plain rejection of Jimmy in Jimmy's eyes in the last few shots of this scene.

In S06E01, Kim builds Saul's persona: what he should drive, what his office should be called. And then, she stops talking about Jimmy, stops mentioning him, and we see how exhilarating Saul has become to Kim. His lawlessness attracts her. Kim was the only person in front of whom Jimmy could be Jimmy, so, as we all know, Jimmy dies with their relationship.

This also tells us why Saul becomes so petty and hurtful towards Kim when she comes to his office to get his signature on divorce papers. He's deeply wounded by her rejection of Jimmy specifically.

Kim can't be blamed for this, knowing how many times her emotions were manipulated/used by Jimmy/Saul during one of his performances. "I don't trust you." Jimmy was the one who wanted Kim to accept Saul, and so she did.

This show is unrelenting in its exploration of the psyche of its characters. I've yet to see a show like Better Call Saul on TV.

And it is the thing that uplifts this show in a class of its own.

I recently discovered ABS and started building a local library, and I've noticed that ABS doesn't reflect/add all listening sessions to user stats. I mostly use the Android ABS app to download books locally and listen to them in the app, then sync with the PC local server later.

This morning, I did two offline listening sessions, highlighted in the "recent Sessions," but the graph only shows the time of the last session (26 mins instead of 29+26 mins). The data is present on the server for both sessions, so syncing local play sessions is not an issue. Is this a bug?

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch is a tale of a family's survival through Ireland's sudden turn to totalitarianism, but here in India, Prophet Song is being sung in the shadows of that darkness as those shadows behind our heads slowly slide their hands over our mouths, gripping our necks, and one day, it will suffocate us into the silent nothingness they arrived from.

All of us here live with the mundane certainty that this day and the day that will follow and the days to come will seep into the night all the same. But someday in our ignorance, we will wake up to a day that will defy the definition of what a day means to us and the days and the nights that will follow will never be the same.

Prophet Song is the story of our world, and I insist that you read it.

"...resting at the red light she sees not the day ahead but how the day will pass without impression, another day forgotten and absorbed into the silent reckoning of days,"

a few pages later…

"It is then she looks up and it seems as though the day has come to be under some foreign sky, feeling some sense of disintegration, the rain falling slow on her face."

I just discovered ABS, and am having a lot of fun setting up a local library, but not being able to read the full bookmark is very annoying. Is there a way to always show the full bookmark?
