yeah, hats off to the writers for making Kim an interesting character and not the fucking harpy that they did with Skylar. the preview for next week insinuated she was going to get run over, at least in my opinion. i hope i'm wrong. Kim has been kicking ass from day 1 and she holds the whole Jimmy story together. i dont think anyone would care about the Jimmy and Huell show.

Gotta add Pastor Jimmy to the action-figure list. Lost my shit when he started talking about the charter buses.

Kim is like Wynoa Ryder, she doesn't have to steal, she just likes the thrill.

Wish they had googled Coushatta, LA and looked up the pronounciation. Was way off. They have a resort and casino there now, so must be something out there to get it from. Maybe lol.

I gotta say all this fake drama with Mike and them building the meth lab is just going nowhere. I hope it ends soon. Also who the fuck is that dude that showed up at Nacho's place at the end? His uncle or a cartel dude?

Kim is possibly even more self destructive than Jimmy, at least when he fucks up its kind of for a reason (money), she is literally self sabotaging herself because... she's bored?

A lot of the scenes with her though reminded me of that Seinfeld episode, where I'm just staring at Kim who is clearly thinking super hard at the Mesa Verde meeting or when meeting Jimmy at the end and all I can think is "... I have literally no idea what she is thinking about."

I think it's an opposites kind of thing. Jimmy kind of wishes he could do the straight and narrow but he just excels at the con game. Kim excels at the straight and narrow and dabbling in the con game makes her feel alive. But she's going to do something she can't ethically handle or something.

The Meth lab construction project is going to end with Mike killing some or all of the Germans because they can't trust them to never say anything.

Yea I totally agree. They revealed their hand too much with the Kai character.

Then you have the German leader, who is a sympathetic figure, his father an engineer who helped design the world famous Sydney Opera House, a man with a family, a beautiful family who he has never been away from for any stretch of time. All of this character building is sadly just a means to an end, as the writers need to create some weight behind the German engineering crew from an emotional standpoint, for when Mike has to kill them all.

It not only makes that story arch worth while in the end, its the coupe de grace for the development of the "mike" character we see in BB. He has always been this mysterious figure, the crooked shit back when he was a cop, and now him not taking any half measures with these Germans.

They kind of did the same with Kim. The whole Viet lady giving Jimmy a drink, lamenting about how he must of made his girl mad. The separation and distance, only to be bridged by the dark arts in the end, an odd but effective twist. Most people thought Kim would exit the world of Saul/BB because her moral compass, but its exactly the lack of that in the end that is going to sink her.

A great, great show.

mike isnt really the hitman type unless its cartel scum. none of these germans are bad people. i think he's going to see them through the project and then Gus is going to have his other boys make them all disappear and Mike will assume they went back home.

mike also ends up in the car park. something has to cause him to back off from Gus bigtime. so maybe he asks, and mike says no. or, mike knowing they are all killed, he nopes out of anything further with gus.

Could you refresh my memory about this? Not sure what you're talking about him ending up back at the car park. He just quit there. Is it some breaking bad thing I've forgotten?

Speaking of Mike in BB. he didn't really out and out murder anyone did he? I mean on orders or for screwing up? My memory tells me he always seemed to be kind of still pushing some level of justice or interest in avoiding the unnecessary deaths. I felt like he was always wanting to give Walt and Jesse another chance.
