Kim's trying to find whether she's better with or without Saul. She has a shady side as in when she went along with a scam. She also has a honest side that wants to abide by law. She's on the fence. I believe Everett Acker (Barry Corbin) will be the make or break. I envision a breakup and reconciliation. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Well they did it. So how does it end now? Seems like being a “friend of the cartel” is what Jimmy is going to choose and will lead to the split. Then he doubles down on the sleaze.
Also, I feel bad for Howard man. He’s trying everything to be a good guy and jimmy is just making him be the villain so he doesn’t have to deal with his own s***. I hope he gets a win on Jimmy before this is all over. |

I have a feeling at the very end of the series. It will show present day Jimmy reuniting with Kim. |

Did you guys catch that this is Jimmy's THIRD marriage?
Wonder what's up with that?
And now that they are married, it leaves two ways out for Kim:

Do we know that Jimmy was not married on Breaking Bad? I know that Kim was not on the show, but was his relationship status ever mentioned? |

When Jimmy mentions to Kim about being a "friend of the cartel" I thought it foreshadowed her death. But, considering the Jimmy we know from Breaking Bad, I don't think it would be consistent with someone who had a loved one murdered. He would have left town. So I think (hope) Kim just leaves him. |

Did you guys notice how much weight Huell's lost? He's not the jolly ol fat man anymore. LINK _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

and Victor is heavier. I guess the events from BCS to BB made their characters go in opposite directions. Tyrus started BCS on the heavy side but he's slimmed back down to his BB appearance.
Speaking of Huell, I wonder if his partner Kuby (Bill Burr) will make an appearance this season? _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

How much longer is this show planned to go on? Mike looks every bit of 90+ years old. _________________ KOBE |

Kuby was supposed to make an appearance this season but Burr had a personal matter so they used the other guy for the job (when Mike blew off Jimmy).
I noticed that when Saul gets kidnapped by Jesse and Walt and he’s saying “it was Ignacio. Did lalo send you?” That he also says “I’m a friend of the cartel.” It was cool to see them work that line into this last episode. |

Who was that guy? He looked familiar and he's linked to BB somehow but I couldn't place him.
What episode of BB was that Lalo/Ignacio reference? I gotta check it out. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

So Saul’s biggest contribution in Breaking Bad is helping launder money...to legally get it into a bank. Saul presumably gets paid a significant share and needs to do the same. Coincidently Kim’s work involves being a lawyer, the lawyer, for a bank. (In fact, she just cemented that by telling them to always listen to her going forward.) It’s been suggested that Mesa Verde is actually the Mesa Credit Union that Walter White used. We now saw a trademark infringement case that could be made against Mesa Verde ... which could force them to change their name down the line.
At some point we are going to see Kim and Jimmy break up, be separated or worse to Kim. We saw the story about her childhood and she refused to get in the car with her drunk mother and walked 3 miles home. She tells Saul to never lie to her again. He tells her about the cartel. All of this is seemingly coming to a head for their eventual break up. And we expect Jimmy to blow it with her.
Still, we see future Saul hiding out at his job at the mall. We are all expecting resolution to this story arc. The cartel coming after him. We’d really like to see Kim come back in play at the very end.
So what if that’s what’s happens. What if whatever breakup, etc. ends up being part of some long con. She’s a lawyer at the bank that was used to launder all the money...and they end up with it all? She was kind of a silent partner for him. She’s the banking lawyer for Walter White’s bank (no idea where Gus Fring banks...but who knows?). In any event, I could see her involved...but doing it her way, being the puppet master, with him as the noisy target/frontman. |

Interesting catch and take . . . It'd be great to see a resolution along those lines. After seeing "El Camino", I could definitely see a world where there is some culmination of the BB in BCS . . . and it would be awesome. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

He appeared in season 1 of BCS when that dorky guy with the baseball cards and pharmaceuticals needed muscle for a drug deal. He was the guy that Mike took the gun from and hit in the throat with it lol.
It was in Saul’s first episode, in S2 of BB. Episode was called better call Saul. |

I've been meaning to break out the BB Collector Blu-Ray set and watch it from beginning to end again for years. I no longer have any excuses not to. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

^ it’s definitely a more interesting watch when you are looking for how Walt is not only manipulating other characters but also the audience. That sneaky bastard had me rooting for him a lot longer than I should have when I first watched it. It’s fun to spot slippin Wally moments. |

Yeah, I've already rewatched it once and pretty much watched every episode twice when it was airing. But now I'm looking forward to watching with an eye to how BCS has laid a groundwork for so many moments from BB. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

So far, another great season.
The elephant in the room for a while has been that we all know that Nacho and Kim are not in BB. We all just assumed Nacho would get killed (because of his dealings with the cartel), and that Kim would have a falling out with Saul, and then break up with him...But obviously now, I'm pretty worried about Kim's fate.
Lots of show left! |

I have been for a longtime. She is clearly intertwined with Jimmy emotionally and that has seen her make decisions and get involved in actions she would never have imagines. Now she is finding herself wrapped up logistically in Saul's world; a which is rapidly declining into a dangerous and unforgiving one.
I fear things are not going to end well for Kim, not just emotionally, but physically as well. She's just into deep to merely see this storyline with Jimmy and Kim just breaking up, or her giving up on him and heading off into the sunset to start a new life. Hope I am wrong and a resolution similar to what DB theorized is in the future, but I'm not sure that Jimmy's overall story-arch will justify such a conclusion. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I was hoping he would down it. And then Mike would end up finding a jug of water in that car a few seconds later. |
