And it does that despite everyone knowing which characters can and cannot survive (mostly).I'm floored. What a return. This show does drama and suspense like no other.

If this page is accurate, the end of Breaking Bad and El Camino is September 2010, while Nippy is October 2010.Breaking bad always surprised me with its timeline, same with this show now since it’s only a few months after breaking bad ends I think
Yup
Yup
Yup
In what has been a very sad season that was so funny
YepThat whole section with Kim almost felt like the beginning of a Fargo season to me.
That first one I'd let pass. She left him, he's just trying to rip the bandaid off. He already tried being honest and emotional.Fuck Saul/Gene so hard.
Ignoring Kim during the meeting, blowing up on her during the call, attempting to use an urn to hit someone he's robbing, and threatening to strangle Marion. I'm glad Jimmy finally came out to play again because oooof.
You haven't seen Breaking Bad, then? This is your first foray into this universe?Just started watching the show yesterday, I'll be back.
(His name isn't even Saul wtf)
Thanks! I have a friend who says “Chuck was right” every once in awhile. I’ll just send him this!As the show heads into its final episode I am honestly depressed. Jimmy's story is nothing short of a tragedy.
To the "Chuck was right" crowd (no one on here is saying it but I have seen it elsewhere multiple times). No he wasn't. You completely missed the point of this entire show.
Jimmy always had a bad tendency to be "Slippin Jimmy" but it wasn't just from pure enjoyment out of scheming (as it was for Kim), or just to get ahead of others. It was also a cry for attention. Gould stated as much when he said Jimmy "just wants to be loved."
Jimmy's constant spirals into becoming more and more of the Saul we see in BB and eventually fully becoming him after he loses all love in his life is the main tragedy of the show. The birth of Saul is a tragedy in and of itself. Jimmy loved his parents tremendously despite what Chuck said he did to them (robbing them blind), Jimmy loved his brother despite all the things he did to him, and Jimmy loved Kim who was the last remaining person in his life he gave a damn about before he completely turned into Saul.
Jimmy did cut corners to his benefit as a lawyer, but as we see this even stems from Jimmy unnecessarily believing he had to do anything to be a winner that "takes it all." When in reality Chuck worked against Jimmy his entire professional career and prevented him from ascertaining any kind of success because he wanted to keep Jimmy in a little box.*
That little box is what eventually formed Jimmy's world view. If you did anything bad in your life the whole world will see you that way and nothing you can do will change it. You're marked for life. In reality only an empathetically devoid asshole like Chuck could do that, and unfortunately for Jimmy that was his older brother. One of the few people he truly loved and cared for. The way I see it is that someone like Jimmy just needed love and support to fight his habits and addictions, but he instead got his own blood telling him what an abject failure he was and always will be.
I need to say all of this also involves Jimmy choosing to commit crimes. Jimmy is not a saint by any sense of the word, or even someone who was forced into becoming the person he is. He chose his life, but it was a 50/50 split in my eyes. There is a reason the show goes out of its way to show you multiple times he has a strong sense of empathy. Something Chuck lacked. You can see how it was two things working in tandem that led to this point. A person who is already susceptible to making poor choices out of desire to scheme (one who falls deeper into those desires when he is alone) and loved ones either dying or leaving him.
This shit is a tragedy, and I can't help but agonize next week's episode because a part of me still believes in Jimmy's humanity and hopes that despite everything he gets some form of redemption (even though I think the last 2 episodes have really tried to remind us who he was in BB, and that he somehow isn't "redeemable").
*I know the winner takes all scene comes after Jimmy finds out about Chuck preventing him from working at HHM, but it gives insight into how Jimmy must have felt ever since he became a lawyer
That's still no excuse to be a petty piece of shit. She was just being nice.Man, what is with this episode's Miracle Whip slander. Of course you use it for making things, it's got a tangy zip!
That first one I'd let pass. She left him, he's just trying to rip the bandaid off. He already tried being honest and emotional.
Yup I think I know the ending of Breaking Bad lol or at least part of it. And the memes of course. Other than that 0 knowledge of the shows really, other than I guess the premise of Breaking Bad as well. I was told it's ok to jump into Saul and I was more interested in that.You haven't seen Breaking Bad, then? This is your first foray into this universe?
I think "being cold to the person ripping your heart out" is on a much lower level than "smashing a robbery victim over the head with the remains of his dog".That's still no excuse to be a petty piece of shit. She was just being nice.
Exactly, it's the antithesis of Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad was about how a loser in lack of power and domination finally has an excuse to be the piece of shit he has always been. (And most of the time pathetically fails at what he does, just overshadowed by how the few wins he gets go so fucking hard)As the show heads into its final episode I am honestly depressed.

It's getting too real y'all. This has been my favorite show for the past 7 years, I don't wanna see Jimmy dead, but also don't want his end to be life in prison
I wonder if the diamonds are finally going to come into play the last episode
Personally I'd watch Breaking Bad before this. It's not that you need to watch it for the story in BSC to make sense, but BCS is definitely set up to work a lot better if you have the foreknowledge of who (most of) these characters are and why/what they do. It also outright spoils tons of plot points from Breaking Bad (from the very scene it flashes forward to after that show's events), which hurts Breaking Bad more as more of that show's focus is on plot-related drama than the more character-driven BCS. BCS is generally hurt a lot less by knowing which characters are going to survive than Breaking Bad, where a significant amount of the tension is focused on life-or-death stakes.If I've never seen Breaking Bad, should I watch this? If I watch both, does it matter which I start with? Sorry if this is an annoying question that comes up too often.
dunkey really said it best
Holy shit. That's awesome!!!HOLY
SHIT
