@nic_the_buttery @PunishedLobster Yeah, that's because they Were indeed tacked on. Gilligan said they struggled to find villains because they were all dead by the end of BB, and they therefore had to be retroactively manufactured and given a backstory that tied them to Jessie during his captivity with the Nazis.

@RadioFreeTom I have Covid right now and so do two other family members. It’s only going to get worse over Memorial Day weekend. It’s unfortunate- your smugness over things not being apocalyptic when they’re still bad, and we could’ve prevented it by masking.
