John from Cincinnati Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 With all of Jimmy’s posturing about his mistakes defining him, I enjoyed the symmetry of the German being held to that standard. The show’s made a big jump with our key Breaking Bad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an excellent point. That also makes me realize how the German was hired because the prior candidate bragged and BS'd his way through the interview, while the German was blunt and honest. It was only when his true colors showed that he was punished. Meanwhile Jimmy is sincere with the board and gets denied. He pours his soul out to a scholarship candidate he identifies with and she shuns him. He shows his true colors on his last chance and tells them everything they think they want to hear, and he's rewarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The conversation was with himself as much as it was with the scholarship candidate. I think that was Jimmy understanding fully exactly what he told her: that once you've gotten a bad reputation in any way, the higher-ups in life will never ever accept you into their club, so fuck 'em. His sheer glee at the end of the episode when he told the court person he'd need a DBA for his license and that "'s'all good, man!" was Jimmy completely embracing who he really is. He's always been Saul and now he absolutely gets it. What an episode, what a season. Bonus guest appearance by GALE'S NOTEBOOK. That's some attention to detail, there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I dunno why Fring would even bother showing him the unfinished lab if he was so pissed off about it. Jimmy's speeches remind me of Jake Roberts saying he was gonna shove the business up his dad's ass and he did, but in the end it didn't matter. The "didn't matter" part is all that's missing, but he'll find that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't understand the point behind Gun showing off the Meth Cave to Gale if Gus was pissed off about what happened with the German and the status of the cave. That was really my only issue. Now that the season is done, I'm really disappointed we never saw anything more with current day Jimmy worrying that his cover has been blown. We had that very intense start to the season and it was the last time we saw present day Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I didn't expect to go back to that given the last three seasons began with similar glimpses into the future. Before the series concludes though, I expect we'll get at least one full episode featuring Cinnabun Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Popped huge for the last scene! loved the shot of Mike and the German walking through the desert. That was some real taking your old dog out back emotions for Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So many times this season I went from worrying Kim would get killed off, to being sad that she would leave Jimmy, to being happy she stayed with Jimmy. And in the end, yeah, I think she finally sees Jimmy for who he is and I think she probably leaves him and lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Knowing now that Lalo is in Saul's orbit when the second season of Breaking Bad rolls around, I worry how bad things get here if the plot starts tightening up and bringing people closer.

BurningBeard Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Why did Jimmy break down in his car after the HHR scene with the intern? Was that his come to jesus moment where he finally realised what he was going to have to become to get ahead? Also, loved Kim's face after Jimmy belittled the guy who shed a tear during his speech when she'd done exactly the same. First time she realised she got hustled? I enjoyed the season, but it definitely felt lacking by no longer having Chuck around. I reckon we get two more season and I'm hoping one of them finishes the turn to Saul and the other follows him in the aftermath of Breaking Bad, the tiny flashforwards aren't enough or me.

I felt the opposite. Once he was out of the way the story seemed to really ramp up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I had a dream last night. Jimmy had revived Chuck from the grave, think your atypical mindless Frankenstein, with a view to swapping his persona into Chuck's body so he would be more respected in the legal profession. And guess who was behind the technology that was going to allow him to do it? The Dharma Initiative! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I still need to dig into these all the way through but I watched most of the first two last night. Nacho going balls out was something else. Today I've designated my finally watching El Camino and then I'm gonna get to all the parts I missed last night.

Technico Support Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Loving it so far! I'm just bugged by the fact that it's been so long since the last season that I barely remember anything. I'm too lazy to look up how Lalo found out about Mike, Zeigler, and the south wall. I can't even remember how Mike got into this world, either.

Curt McGirt Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Dude, ditto. My memory may be shot anyway but I really retained NOTHING about the last season. After looking stuff up on Wiki I feel like I should rewatch the last season first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Did anyone else just feel like an asshole by proxy after Mike yelled at his granddaughter? Seems like the theme of the season so far is going to be seeing these characters go past their point of no return. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It was worse flipping back to the channel cold and just seeing Mike yelling at her. There was solace in knowing whatever was happening, he still ended up in good enough graces to be taking care of her later on in the timeline (if I am correct). Dammit I'm gonna have to watch both of these tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 After watching the new episodes in full I did go back and skim through the last four or five episodes from last season as a refresher course since we have Neflix now and I highly recommend that. The arc of Werner's self-inflicted crash and burn is so simple and powerful, and it gives a lot of gravitas to Mike punching Kai after his remark on one of the new ones. The whole deal with saving Huell was especially funny too -- the pictures of Lavell smiling and doing yardwork cracked me up. It's also clear that the assistant DA that Jimmy had the sitdown in the elevator with is going to be a continual thorn in his side from here on out.
