Agree, huge miss not doing it. Would have redeemed the prior two episodes.

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but did anyone else notice the amount of money the cancer guy had in his investment account? The same amount ($737,000) that Walt said would be "enough" for him to get out of the meth game. I think that was right after they saw Tuco beat that guy to death right in front of them. I guess it was an easter egg back to the original series that neither Walt or Jimmy knew when to walk away.

suspicious.. Ham alter?

Nah he would've said something more like "can't believe no one else noticed the amount of money cancer guy had. We've seen that number before. Go back & rewatch BB to find out what I'm talking about. ISZA"

Can’t be. His only other post was about planning a golf trip with three of his friends. We know Ham doesn’t have friends.

I noticed she sounded a bit different. Like she had picked up an accent.


She is speaking with a midwestern accent. Not sure why. Is she going by Kim Wexler? Vince looks to have kind of missed the landing on this one. Feels like he skipped over Kim's evolution from being horrified to being genuinely remorseful. It even surprised Gene. Kind of weird that the one spearheading their bad deeds in Albuquerque is now the one on a high horse lecturing Gene.

You could hear him talking about a Hoover vacuum after the credits
Yeah, but that's almost certainly misdirection. They've done a lot of that lately. I think vacuum guy is off the table since Gene called him right after Jeff made Gene in the mall, then backed out of it shortly after. Vacuum guy takes no chances, and would almost certainly want more money than Gene could pull together on such short notice.

Disagree completely. You may need to do a re-watch and really pay attention to Kim even before she became a main figure in the series. She has always been obsessive about things. Anytime she feels strongly about something, she goes all in.


1. After the car accident late in season 3, she decides that she doesn't want to "get back on the horse" quickly and continue back with the Mesa Verde stuff. Instead, she has someone drive her to Blockbuster Video to rent like 30 dvds. Even has her assistant take the Mesa call from Paige and let them know she'll be back when she's up to it. This speaks to her obsession.

2.The next season, she becomes obsessed with helping others ( pro bono work ) and even defies a judge about sitting in his courtroom. She then goes to Schweikart & Cokely to bring them Mesa so that she can move on to this obsession.

3. She always wanted to pull all of the scams - making the call to Jimmy to meet at the hotel - on the dudes at the bars for free drink and stuff like that.

4. I'm sure there's others that I don't recall off of the top of my head, but it peaked with the Howard Hamlin thing which ended up costing Howard his life. Remember how the actor that was playing the judge for the SandPiper case had broken arm and Jimmy wanted to postpone that scam and Kim wouldn't allow it? Obviously she's remorseful, but it didn't stop her from making up the cocaine story on the fly to Howard's widow at his visitation.

So, I don't think it was an evolution per se, so much as that's who she has always been since we saw her as a kid pull the scam with her Mom in Omaha at the department store. She's always loved that thrill and once she decides to do something ( moving to Florida and becoming a completely different person ) she had no problem doing that.

In my opinion, if you really pay attention to her and less of the cartel stuff, you'll see she's always been every bit the con person as Jimmy.

She used to be. Now she is turning herself in to the DA and confessing to Howard's widow. They skipped over her transformation to this new attitude by focusing on Slippin' Jimmy up to his old antics. I get it. People fell in love with the show. Some idiots even claimed it to be better than BB. It is not and doesn't seem prepared to deliver a monumental send off like BB did.

not quite true. there were several scams that jimmy basically forced her into but she went along with it because running scams WAS their relationship.

Agreed. Just watched it. Thought it was a very good episode and much different than the last two.

you have to take the final season in totality. They did an incredible job wrapping up Nacho’s story, Lalo’s story and even Howard’s.

Agreed.

I seem to remember his cut was 10% of the settlement since he passed it off to the larger firm. So he got $2 million since Kim didn't take any.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but the Caddy was sitting in the handicapped spot in front of his office when Kim left. So he bought that during the divorce proceedings.
