Maybe one day before this show ends, people will stop arguing with Ham....

He took the first 2 eps off with his thing but back in full force after week 3

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.


Ill say I don't think its 100% that she's gone, but I do think it's pretty likely

Not to derail this current discussion, but Lalo is such a great character. Maybe my favorite of the “sobrinos.”

He stresses me out every time he’s in a scene, like being in a room with a sociopath

I think Saul turning into a criminal lawyer drives her away

I think her being driven away turns Saul into a criminal lawyer

Saul is consumed by his practice in BB, there is no room in his life for a relationship, we are now seeing why

whihc is even more irritating considering he started a dedicated thread entirely for his theory. Which is actually appreciated since it provides a dedicated space for that specific topic.

Instead we still get the same drivel posted in every new episode thread each week. You'd think any new easter eggs or proof or details that come with each episode would lead to a bump and new discussion in the dedicated theories thread, but obviously that isn't the case.

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

This seems most likely imo. “Once you’re in, you’re in”, and Saul is “in” now.

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,




Still waiting on these former clients to show up.

I dont think she dies or is mamed. Solely because I think that would devastate Jimmy to a point where not even Saul could survive, much less flourish. Losing the 2 people closest to him in tragic ways would push him to a point where he couldnt even pretend imo.

I also think he would have to leave Albuquerque. But since he doesnt and she isnt around, I believe she willingly leaves. Going back to what I said, I feel with her away and safe from being hurt by his actions, he is able to embrace Saul Goodman.

Everyone is waiting for Bad..but, maybe something Good happens to Kim?

If she isn't around, I see it playing out like you stated here, but I don't see her going anywhere.

I don't think Saul makes it to BB without Kim's help. She keeps him in check when he steps over the line.

I think she will be able to deal with most of the stuff Saul is up to until Walt says to Saul you're done when I say you're done. That's when shite goes off the rails.

This show parallels BB in many ways. We watched how it screwed everyone in Walt's orbit. This time we may see how it screws everyone in Jimmy's orbit.

I feel like we are watching multiple shows in 1.

We still have Gene's world that has potential to play out next season. There may be an area saul can fix some wrongs.

I'm wondering if his diamonds are actually real..or like his scam Rolexs.

I think it was more that hank the jock, big shot type character just saw Walt as the weaker man. The victim not the bully. He thought drug dealers were dumb thugs not enterprising geniuses. He was too sure of his preconceived notions so he missed each and every clue, even Walt literally admitting it to him (Albeit as a joke).


This was a pretty major theme in BB; not sure why anyone would argue with it.

And I think we're in the process of finding out that Hank's big busts were part of the chess match between rival dealers. Although we already know some of that from Krazy 8.
