Better Call Saul Season 4

Hmmm. Your memory is probably better than mine, but I was sure that Nacho was quite involved with the business end of BB.

 

I have mixed feelings about this season without Chuck. The first two, I feel, couldve been watched and enjoyed with no BB connections.

This year and this episode in particular seem almost impossible to understand if you didn’t watch BB. Not sure if I like that.

 

I see Better Call Saul not about how Jimmy became Saul, but how he failed to escape becoming Saul.

From the time he was a little kid he was running scams, growing up to be Slippin Jimmy. He ran scams to get his law practice going. He ran scams against Chuck.

I think his fucked up relationship with Chuck, in which he loved him and wanted to live up to his standard, kept him trying to be something other than Slippin Jimmy. Hearing how Chuck felt about him and had done to him freed him killed that, leaving only his relationship with Kim to keep him from going full on Saul. That relationship, though, is proving not enough to do it. When whatever is going to happen to Kim happens, the last incentive to being “straight” Jimmy will be destroyed.

 

I thought so too, so I went and looked it up. Thought he was around during the first couple of seasons when Tuco was the primary adversary. But according to the Breaking Bad Wiki, he was not.

Just caught the latest episode.

Jimmy closer to ever to being Saul. And @Amy is spot on. The struggle really is if he can stop it. Which we know we can’t.

It has to come down to Kim. She’s doing pro bono work for criminal defendants. One of whom kicked the shit out of Jimmy when he was selling burner phones. Gotta think that will be the first thread in her demise. And his.

Not sure how it ties in, but damn fun to see Saul in his Breaking Bad office right before he gets vacuumed to Cinnabon in Nebraska.

 

Was that the kid that Kim was defending? Thought it was, but it was hard to tell. A slightly longer shot on him would have helped, or one of the other punks calling him by name.

 

Pretty sure it was. But I’ve been wrong before. Sure would make sense for the story.

 

Wow, I didn't see that. Good catch.

I love this show but it's awful to watch live or on demand ... 10 minutes of show, 6 minutes of commercial, rinse, repeat. I could spring for the AMC deluxe or whatever, but fuck that, I already pay too damn much for TV as it is.

 

Pay six bucks a month for a dvr, and start it a half hour later. Why would anyone put up with those commercials?

 

We don’t have AMC on our streaming package. Bought the season for $20 on Hulu. No commercials. You do have to wait a day for it to drop though.

 

It was him. Not surprised. Kim got him out of any jail time and he acted like an ungrateful punk.

 

Jimmy's actions toward the end of the recent episode were...more criminal than I was expecting from him at this juncture. Actually made me wonder if this series might be slated for four seasons instead of five.
