You're looking way into this.

Not really, all the signs are there right in front of your face. Kim is very slowly behaving more like Jimmy. Not enough to be obvious, but she is not the same person she was when she got onto Jimmy for making the pie video. Throw in her ISZ connection with a few other little hints and it's plain as day to me where she is headed.

Cinnabon managers average $41k

Menial but not barely above minimum wage.

Obviously not attorney money but Gene could have done a hell of a lot worse

is this nationwide? because if so that would likely be taking into account cost of living.

In Omaha, Nebraska, he would be making on the very low end of what Cinnabon managers make.

So I imagined Kim's love of ISZ

I imagined the fact that Wexler means "money changer"

I imagined all the underhanded things Kim did to keep Mesa Verde.

I imagined how she likes to go and con people with Jimmy.

I could go on.

The argument I'm imagining things doesn't hold water. In fact I think it's Kind of crazy you think nothing the 2nd biggest character does on this show means anything.

I'm not saying it's impossible but you're acting like it's very likely it happens.

All of this is still far from what Saul is. He himself is a criminal. You know you maybe right about Kim working with him but maybe it's only at first. One he fully becomes the Saul Goodman we see in BB, I don't see her being part of it anymore if she was before.

What he did to Irene was exactly like Saul and Kim was totally cool with it.

Why do you guys think Gene was so sad watching those tapes of Saul Goodman commercials in the first episode?

It wasn't because he misses being Saul Goodman. It's because he's remembering a time that he and Kim were together and they felt on top of the world.

I am cackling.

I posted a quote from Bob Odenkirk a few pages back, and he didn't rule out Jimmy & Kim still being together in the BB universe (and it got a couple of downvotes, too...downvoting an actual quote by the lead actor, lulz).

At this point, I'd say with 20-25% certainty that Jimmy & Kim remain together. If they do remain together, I'd say with 70-75% certainty it's because she became an unknowing or unwilling participant in one of Jimmy's schemes, and she'd have to lean on him out of necessity or as a sort of security blanket, but not because she's "all in" with Jimmy...

Since we have discussed this to death let's change the subject a little. Where do you guys think the story is going with Gene? Where do you want it to go?

I would like in the final season to have Wizard of Oz moment. The season starts with Gene in black and white like normal and then shifts to color letting us know the story is now post BB. I would be pumped.

As far as where it goes I would like to see Gene come back to Albuquerque as Jimmy and defend himself. If he comes back he is definitely in hot water and will be charged, but there is some wiggle room for a person of his talents to get off.
