re: Official Better Call Saul Season 3 Episode 5: Chicanery

To add...Kim has alot on her plate that can go sideways. That whole Mesa Verde thing could blow up in her face for all we know, and perhaps in a vulnerable moment, makes a poor decision she can't undo, pretty much leaving her little choice but to align herself with Jimmy for better or worse. If something like Jimmy & Kim working together post-BCS does happen, it doesn't necessarily has to be because she wants to, but maybe because she has to...

All I can say is that you are way off base in your understanding of the plot of Sneaky Pete too.

I'm starting to wonder if Ham read a spoiler about this and wants to be the smart guy who "figured it out all along."

No. I just expected a break up like everyone else. They had it all set up to happen at the start of this season. Jimmy was busted with the tape which could have easily ruined things for Kim. That didn't happen though. When Kim asked Jimmy for the dollar I thought it was very suspicious and that is when I began thinking she helps Jimmy/Saul.

Damn, you nailed it.

Your theory is so mind boggling stupid it's almost beyond comprehension. As of this second, the only thing any viewer knows about Saul Goodman is in the BB universe, considering he hasn't been introduced to the BCS universe yet. There is literally nothing, at all, whatsoever in BBworld that would even casually allude to Kim and Saul being in any kind of tandem. And all your "proof" that essentially boils down to "Kim took some questionable legal actions to help Jimmy" doesn't mean diddly poo. So what? who cares if she did? Jimmy isn't Saul yet. How do you make the gargantuan leap from Kim helping Jimmy McGill to being some sort of silent partner for Saul Goodman? It's lunacy!


You've also been hellbent on saying K+J=S, as if they're some kind of batman and robin duo. But I guess you realize how retarded that sounds and have since walked off that, now saying:

I don't mean Kim will be at his office doing half the work. When I say she is half of Saul I simply mean she will know what he is up to and she will help when a situation needs her particular skill set.

Kinda like Mike has already done thus far (and clearly does again in BB world)? Kinda like how Saul's secretary makes the fake hospital phone call to Hank when he's in the junkyard with the RV? Are they each 1/3 of Saul?

No you moron, Saul goodman is Saul Goodman. As in, it's the guy played by bob odenkirk that used to be Jimmy McGill that at some point at a later date starts going by Saul Goodman. The end.

I think it's an interesting theory but there is some serious confirmation bias going on.

Like I don't get how the Royals shirt/backpack is evidence of it. Obviously it refers to Kim somehow but to me it sounds more plausible that Kim is from the midwest and that's why Jimmy chooses to relocate there. It doesn't scream "Kim is the brains behind Saul Goodman"

ETA I think it's certainly plausible that Kim is involved in the creation of Saul, but I don't think she is still involved with Jimmy during BB. I think she's either A.) Dead B.) Has cut ties with Jimmy C.) Fled/left ABQ

No, he just changes his name

Take a deep breath. It's going to be okay.

I haven't backed off one bit. I simply think that Kim will be by Jimmy/Saul's side all the way through BB helping Saul with his dirty deeds when a situation calls for her help.

bullshite, we see him go into Saul mode all the time. The only difference is he is dealing with senior citizens and not criminals, and he is not using the name Saul.

I'm not against the idea of J + K = S, but I feel like we need more to support it before I can fully dive in. What other evidence do you feel supports this theory?
