re: Official Better Call Saul Season 3 Episode 4: Sabrosito

I thought the shot of Mike reading the Handyman magazine after repairing the door was great. Nice touch VG, you glorious bastard.

You don't know that. No one knows that. What evidence suggest that Kim and Jimmy/Saul aren't still friends during the events of BB?

I don't think there's evidence that they aren't, but the fact that we never see her or hear anything about her during the entirety of BB would make that a bit of a stretch. The more I have thought about it, I think that the hearing ends up being a nuclear bomb that kills everyone's careers. Chuck, Jimmy both get disbarred, Kim loses Mesa-Verde, and HHM eventually folds somehow.

I don't know how we get there, but we know that Jimmy somehow begins practicing law under a new name in the same city where this is all taking place. Kim, Chuck, and HHM are never mentioned in BB, even though they are such a big part of Saul's past, and I think there's a reason for that.

Because of who Jimmy becomes as a man and lawyer.

Kim wouldn't be involved and fall that far. She's already getting her hands dirty and is uncomfortable with it.

Its going to end...bad.

I don't think some of the characters mentioned have important enough parts to be involved in Breaking Bad's story.

Nah. You're off base here. There is going to be a hard split eventually, which will parlay him into full Saul Goodman. People keep expecting it's chuck that will make him turn. It's actually Kim when she leaves him for good. There will be nothing left to keep him grounded in the right. Plus, she has too much of a moral conscious about her work. She is trying to win within the lines. She doesn't scurry outside very often unless its for a friend, like Jimmy.

I disagree with just about everything in this post. We have already seen Kim acting less than honorable several times. Even last night she helped send a fake handyman into Chuck's home. Remember the time she helped Jimmy con the guy in the restaurant. It turned her on and Jimmy got laid.

There are also a couple of real world reasons Kim is likely to be partners with Saul. In a book a character doesn't need anyone to talk to because as an audience we can read his mind. On a show though a character needs someone to talk to so we can know exactly what they are really thinking.

Maybe, but to me it ultimately feels like the black and white Gene scenes will get at least a full episode, if not season, and Jimmy goes to find Kim wherever she may be in the POST-BB timeline.

loved the episode. I forgot Saul was even involved, the opening with Mike and gus was great.

If los pollos hermanos ever wanted to become a legit chain irl, with all the exposure I think they could.
