Marla Singer Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 This show is criminally underrated. It's just as good as Breaking Bad. The performances from the actors who play Jimmy/Saul, Kim, Mike, Gus, Chuck, Lalo, Nacho, Howard and more are all superb, as is the character development. The cinematography is amazing, especially for a TV show. I'm excited for the final season and seeing how they cross over into the Breaking Bad timeline, and beyond it. I'm glad Bob Odenkirk is OK and healthy again too. I didn't expect we would be getting this season so soon after his heart attack, they must have had most of the show filmed already when it happened.

Wicked Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That mid season finale.... Wow. That's all Kim & Jimmys fault. Howard wouldn't have even been there if it wasn't for what they did.

DoctorIce Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Whew, that was intense. I really grew to like Howard as a character. He's been a dick in the past but he didn't deserve a damn thing that happened to him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marla Singer Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Howard is easily one of the most innocent but tragic characters in the whole BB/BCS universe. He has flaws and can be a bit of a dick sometimes, but he was a good person. Nacho's death was sad too, but it was his own choices and his own involvement with the Salamancas and the cartel that ultimately led him to where he ends up - whereas Howard really did nothing wrong. The way he confronted Jimmy and Kim before being murdered in front of them will haunt them both for the rest of their lives. I wasn't expecting that at all. I thought Lalo was going to go after the Meth Lab after making Gus and all his security retreat to his safehouse. But I guess he figured out that Mike had some of his men following Jimmy/Kim and the intention was to distract them. I'm trying to figure out what he will want from them though. And when you think about the fact that Kim knew Lalo might still be alive... but kept it from Jimmy... because Jimmy would've been too scared to go ahead with their plan if he had known... wow, just wow.

Digitalism Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I'm only watching this for kim and .... Spoiler They just ruined the character. She doesn't make sense now. Usually people that are perfectionist and look for the greater good but then slip up have very moral parents that make them that way. And the slip ups are a way of escaping from that. Being with jimmy who has sketchy morals was her way of doing that but now it doesn't make sense because it has been suggested that she was always like that. But people who are always like that don't usually fight for the greater good. The show is ruined for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a very correct person and a perfectionist. That sometimes did something bad and enjoyed it. That type of personality has been studied in psychology. They always have some made up excuse to do the bad thing that makes them look good. This kim that ruins Howards life and leaves the job of her life helping others for no reason makes no sense.

The entire of last season was pretty obvious that "perfectionist Kim" wasn't real, that was her trying her hardest to live on the straight and narrow, her relationship with Jimmy just made her fall deeper into it, and she's worse than him. It's been great development for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people who are always like that don't usually fight for the greater good. The show is ruined for me Kim didn't have moral parents though. The flashbacks with young Kim and her mother show a very different upbringing to what you've described. Her mother was drink-driving when she arrived late to pick her up from school, so Kim walked home alone and refused to get in the car. And when Kim gets caught shoplifting, her mother actually praises her and rewards her for it - with earrings that she still wears in the present as an adult. Kim has always been portrayed as wanting to have it both ways. She wants to be a "good" lawyer that does pro-bono work and fights for underprivileged defendants, because she genuinely cares about them. But she also loves the thrill of a con and that's mainly what attracts her to Jimmy - especially when the victim is someone she thinks is an ******* who deserves it. This goes way back to the earlier seasons when she would pretend to be "Giselle" to scam people at bars. Even better still if the con or scheme happens to benefit an underdog (e.g. the old man that Mesa verde tries to evict, or Huell, or a pro-bono client). The plan against Howard is arguably not even the worst thing she's done. Look at what she and Jimmy did to Chuck - they destroyed his reputation in court by taking advantage of his mental illness. Kim has never been a saint. But she's not completely bad either because she does have some good and pure intentions too. It's what makes her such an interesting character.
