Better Call Saul -

I feel like I need to do a rewatch of the first 5 season before season 6 comes out. While I remember things pretty decently, its all been spread out over so long that I feel like I'd get alot out of watching everything freshly again.

I did this recently (Linder hadn't watched it yet either which also helped!). It was pretty ace.

I feel like I need to do a rewatch of the first 5 season before season 6 comes out. While I remember things pretty decently, its all been spread out over so long that I feel like I'd get alot out of watching everything freshly again.

I've done this for every single season of BCS and highly recommend it. Me and my Dad have been fans of the franchise since season 1 of Breaking Bad aired and we always did a rewatch before the next season of that aired, so it's become a sort of tradition, but both series really benefit from a second viewing. Lots of foreshadowing etc

For some reason (probably because it's when the previous season started) I thought this was starting up at the end of the month but then found out that they won't even begin shooting the season until March, which means a likely 2022 release date.

Did anyone else catch that, several times during season 5, when Kim was doing underhanded shit, the background OST was a variant of The Long Walk Alone from Breaking Bad? AKA Heisenberg's Theme. Here's a link to the track itself, maybe someone else noticed. If not, I'll rewatch the most recent season and make clips.

Anyway, if I'm correct and they did reuse The Long Walk Alone (which they definitely did since I'm an OST geek), it can only mean that Kim's going to break bad in her own way. And given the next season is the final one, this is really the only possible out for the character - her getting fedded for sus shit - besides killing her off (which is the obvious out but doesn't seem very "Vince".

EDIT: This scene features it towards the end, but it's apparent in other scenes around and after this point in the season.

Honestly, I'm wondering if she's playing a long con? We know Saul likely isn't going to get to keep the money from Sandpiper and we know he's not going to be married to her come BB time, so what if her plan was to divorce Jimmy, take the Sandpiper money, and then go somewhere else to do that "High price lawyers for pro-bono clients" set up she mentioned at the end of season five? She sues him for a majority of the settlement, points out his Cartel connections that she could leak to the bar association, which is way worse than anything she's done, and forces him to hand over most of the money, the rest of which he uses to set up his practice as we've seen it.

Probably won't happen since it's way more ruthless than we've seen Kim do so far, but to me it's a good way to end things, especially since Kim is the last piece of Jimmy left and if she betrays him, that'd destroy James McGill completely, leaving only Saul Goodman.

What if the reason we don't see Kim in Breaking Bad is because she became Walter White?

I don't see Kim doing that. I could see her doing something that ruthless, but not to Jimmy. She's surprised me in the past though. I hope she doesn't end up dead. I hope Nacho doesn't either but his odds aren't looking great.

I see Kims gas about her resentment towards Howard exploding in a way that, regardless of outcome, tears Jimmy away from her and possibly for good, unless the flash-forward suggests they cross paths again. I'm going to count on a mutually assured destruction but not get into too many possibilities.

I was just kidding, I don't actually think that Kim will become Walter White... But she will probably become Jesse Pinkman. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Kim is nowhere near as much of a bitch as Jesse Pinkman.

I think the major difference between BB and BCS as character studies is in BB, we see someone who was always a terrible person, but never had the opportunity or ambition to express it, actually finally fully realize himself as a person. A really terrible person.

You only see this on a second viewing (well at least if you are a dense motherfucker like I am). Remember the scene where he turns down money to treat his cancer from his former Gray Matter associates, who we're led to believe ripped him off (he actually just tard raged and quit for no legitimate reason), and he seemed somewhat noble for refusing and insisting on handling it himself?

In BCS, to the contrary, we're introduced to a character we're already familiar with as a complete bastard, who almost appears as if he could have hatched out of an egg that way, and we see how while he started out deeply flawed, he struggled not to be a bad person, and slowly, despite his efforts, sank down into the failure of evil.
