Kim is such a beloved character I don't think they'd kill her off. I don't believe she has anything to do with sauls business in breaking bad though

Of course she doesn't.

I don't think she's dead either. I think that she and Saul have such a break, and she gets into something way over her head and has a breakdown, and leaves town. This causes Saul to go all in on being a Criminal laywer.

I mean I get it. There are tons of excuses and reasons but too many coincidences.

I like Hank. I’m not calling him a big dummy, but hes not some super star detective. He’s a great character, but there were too many signs he missed along the way, including literally discussing it with walt.

I think that story she told Barry Corbin about her mom telling her to get up in the middle of the night because they were leaving town was foreshadowing. She’s gonna be bothered by something—or the totality of somethings—in the middle of a night and just get in her car and throw the deuces, not telling anybody. She may even be wearing only her pajamas.

He is and isnt at the same time. He's human, and I think BB did a great job of showing how vulnerable an overconfident man really was.

I’m thinking kims still alive. I feel like if she were killed by drug cartel or people Saul got involved with, jimmy would you off the deep end and not even be saul


her story arc leads me to believe she is just getting fed up with everything and she's going to ghost out.

this is why it would be dramatic having jimmy and her reunite in the future black & white world..at least for closure even if they don't get back together.

I can understand why anyone would disagree that Kim is still running with Jimmy during BB, but it's definitely not common sense that she isn't.

think about what the phrase "common sense" means. It's absolutely common sense that she isn't.

-She's never mentioned a single time in BB
-Saul makes no reference to any legal partner in BB
-The character Kim Wexler wasn't even imagined during the writing of BB
-It's speculated, with some sounds reasoning, that jimmy and kim are moving further apart in current BCS time rather than growing closer together

It is the very definition of "common sense" to say that she has no part of saul's legal practice in breaking bad. I mean, to say that she isn't part of it is NOT common sense is to suggest that it's far fetched and going out a limb to suggest that. Which is ridiculous.

So, by your definition of common sense, Saul doesn't know anyone that we don't see him talking to in BB.

I feel like I'm arguing with a middle schooler.

Obviously saul will interact with people during his 24 hour day in BB that we are not shown, because it's irrelevant. We don't need to see the cashier at the gas station he buys a drink from. His legal practice is prettty prominently featured in BB and is a pretttty big part of it, so it's "common sense" that if he had a partner in his business aside from huell or the receptionist or others we know that we'd know about it. Hell saul might have 4 or 5 adopted kids from Africa in BB but they never mentioned it so I think it's pretty..common sense..that he likely does not.

That's hilarious coming from someone that has such flaws in their logic. Let me point out the flaw in your last post.

It's only irrelevant to BB's story. In BCS many of these interactions will be relevant and shown. BB is about Walt. We only need enough info to tell his story. BCS is about Saul. Now we will see all the info relevant to his.

You go ahead and keep believing that BCS is going to turn into the leftovers, and everyone in Saul's life will just disappear.

Ham,

You’re just trolling at this point. The fricking show runners have said, and I quote “we know Kim isn’t around during the Breaking Bad Timeline”


You are completely wrong about this stupid fricking theory and you sound like a complete moron for beating it to death for years.

It’s not going to fricking happen. YOU ARE WRONG

Okay. Stay tuned.

Also, when you use quotation marks you are supposed to say exactly what they said and not paraphrase incorrectly.

The thread was barely hanging on the first page yesterday, I figured I would give it some life. Whether I am right or wrong I do find it strange that so many think it's impossible. The show right now is teasing us with a will she or won't she turn to the darkside situation.

For whatever reason though there are a few people that think she 100% has to be gone. I just find it odd they won't even consider it even though the show is dangling that carrot.

i mean i personally hope she takes the dark side and is somehow helping saul throughout BB, but it does seem pretty unlikely

I think Jimmy gets a scare and feels threatened and runs off Kim in an effort to save her life at some point when the cartel starts demanding more of his time. She will get suspicious at some point about the money and that worries Saul that she will get targeted by the cartel or used as ransom over Jimmy.
