dont know anything except that Kim likely does anal. Context clues and character traits have led me to make this claim

From what I've seen, it doesn't look like they have much sex of any kind.

if Mike needs a lawyer, who's he gonna call?

Mike shouldn't need one in an official capacity for a while. He should keep his nose pretty clean now that he will be helping Gus. He and Jimmy seem to do each other a lot of side favors, so I am sure they will see each other often.

This could also explain why Mike hires Dan Wachsberger to handle the Cayman Island accounts for himself and "his guys."

Ham,

Your theory just took a HUGE hit.

I am rooting for your theory, because I don't want Kim to be killed . I will say that initially I shared the same thoughts as most on here-Saul's going to get her killed. However, I do agree with you that there isn't going to be a breaking point for Jimmy. He's always been Saul.


Not sure if covered but Kim's legal experience with her current client would give her invaluable experience with how to properly money launder

I'm not going to hang around here because this whole thing is silly, but this last episode clear as day shows where this is heading. It isn't going to be Kim getting killed. It's going to be Kim not being able to deal with Jimmy's dark side. She has a conscience and sense of ethics and professionalism that Jimmy doesn't, and it is going to cause them to split apart. If you couldn't pick that up from the scene with the meeting with the lady from the bank and the bar scene from this week, not to mention the two and a half seasons of character building then you are blind or not paying attention. It's why this theory is and always has been implausible.

I disagree. Kim has shown plenty of character flaws. I think she will just keep dipping her toes in the water until it's above her head.

I don't know how you came away with that from the bar scene. What I got from it is that Kim is starting to lose herself into Jimmy's ways. He told her to put Chuck in the rear view and she seemed to submit and went right back into con strategies.

How about when Kim smart mouthed the Mesa Verde attorney when she questioned Kim's work of Utah?

Like she channeled a little bit of something that wasn't Kim. She came back to herself and apologized.







And for the record you did clutter up a few threads before last weeks episode where this discussion went for three pages without you. If more and more people are pointing out this as an annoyance , then it's becoming a problem.

This thread has been a fun read so far and I hope it continues. So calm your tits and have fun with it in this thread.

Kim was frightened/disgusted by what she saw from Jimmy.

A little frightened maybe, but I don't think she was disgusted at all. She went on after that talking about how to con a different guy. If she was disgusted she would have changed the subject.

Another point that hasn't been brought up is that she asked Jimmy "Are we really doing this?" instead of saying Jimmy we can't do this.

It was like if Jimmy had said yeah let's do this Kim would have reluctantly played her part.

It's a screenwriter's effort to show us that Kim is maturing and Jimmy is not. This is a phase of change to make it more believable when she experiences the final straw. She'll either not want to witness or know about future shenanigans, or want no part of it.

What about the fact that Kim only took on the new client after she saw what Jimmy put himself thru to make his end of the rent? She knows he can't keep doing that to himself so she's stretching herself thin to make up for it. And it's clear she's not doing it because she doesn't trust him, she's doing whatever she can to protect and take care of him. That's why I think it's plausible that she'll get drawn into the money laundering business with Saul.


And you can't tell me Wexler meaning "money changer" is a coincidence. There's just no fricking way that wasn't intentional.
