Is it weird that I tell you what's going to happen weeks and seasons in advance?

I get accused of stealing, but somehow I always "steal" what happens.

If you want to accuse me of stealing at least provide a link that predates me to prove your point

There was also a season 6 promo pic that looked like Kim and Jimmy were at the Vet's business looking at that notebook. It wasn't completely clear that's where they were, but it sure looked like it.

I'll have to try to find that photo again. If they're looking at it there and it is the same notebook it makes me wonder if that's the Vet's rolodex of shady characters and Saul acquires it somehow.

In one post you claim that people accuse you of stealing stuff, yet then in the very next post you openly say you saw a promo, that the show itself put out, that includes kim and jimmy looking at the book in the vet's office. Are you trying to claim you unocverd this huge secret when teh actual show put it out in a promo? And speaking of the vet's office, it was just last week that another poster took a screengrab of kim and jimmy in the vet's office compared to an earlier episode and I specifically mentiond that it came from the BCS subreddit, where you are known to pull a good bit of your material.

So to recap...the show itself put out a promo that looks like it could/probably be kim and jimmy at the vets. Someone on reddit posted proof that that is indeed where they are. In last night's episode, we see the scene that has been previewed openly in the past. And now...well, I guess you think you have nailed a prediction? I truly don't undersatnd the "a-ha!" moment you think you're going for here.

Kim told Jimmy they would build a better wall.

Did his office tonight look like a cathedral of justice?

nope. LOoked nothing at all like the office we know from BB

She's going to help him build that ridiculous office.

I don't know how you guys can't see what's coming.

Just like my post to you on Sunday (that I think was ignored), this is another in a long line of you pointing things out that anyone watching the show can see, and trying to assign a deeper meaning to it.

We all have eyes. We all have brains. We can all clearly uyndresatnd that his office is going to undergo a change to end up looking like the BB version. And it'll probably have kim's influence behind it.

SO.frickING.WHAT!?

No way, man. But I am a sucker for a pony tail though.

Agreed. Kim in a suit and pony tail just does it for me.

I'm starting to think the theory that Kim is just with Jimmy to get the Sandpiper money and then pops smoke may have some legs.

Very possible. Would explain the U-turn on the highway.... Just saying.

I'm starting to think the theory that Kim is just with Jimmy to get the Sandpiper money and then pops smoke may have some legs. Without that payday there would be no reason to go after him like they are and if you watch how they interact there is very little intimacy. And what there is seems forced.

An example is when Jimmy is excited and kisses her. She's actually kind of leaning back. And when they go their separate ways in the morning he kisses her on the cheek.

---

It's funny you say this because I noticed that last night as well. That kiss they shared seemed super awkward, and I also noticed the cheek kiss too. I didn't think much of it, but this:

Her scamming Jimmy would explain his full transformation to Saul we see as the guy in BB.

---

In all honesty, that would make complete sense IMO and would be a great trigger for Jimmy to not only lean fully into Saul, but become him permanently.

I don't quite know if she's a bad enough person to do that to Jimmy, and that would go completely against character for her seeing as how much she's done and put on the line for him. But it would definitely be something that would push Jimmy into not giving any fricks anymore.

That's just it though, if he had 10 planned out, then you know it wouldn't be rushed at all. Making him spread things out only hurts the story.

---

I definitely agree from a writing perspective, but I’m giving the studio a pass on this one because this is probably the last time we ever get new content from this universe again. I’ll take an extra 4 hours of getting to see what goes on in this world, even if it’s slow and mundane. I can’t think of many other shows or franchises I’d say that about, but this is one of them.

I've never seen them share a kiss that wasn't awkward.

It's like she is playing a part and Jimmy isn't picking up on it.

Not saying she doesn't care about him at all. She just never shows physical attraction towards Jimmy, but instead is a business partner in her mind. And "business" was the whole point of them getting married.

I know Kim has been "out of character" lately with her actions, but completely fricking over Jimmy then disappearing would be so, SO extreme.

Lately they've taken steps to show us kim's bad side and how she is slipping more and more into a "bad" role. Even in this last episode with the theft. But even in all their scams they've pulled in the past, a big part of hte enjoymentof the scams has been doing it togeter with jimmy. And obviously sh'es held onto the bottle top for years (granted, we see in episode 1 of this season she no longer has it post-BB era).

I guess my quesiton would be what is kim's motivation to completely and totally ruin jimmy's entire life/world? She's never been motivated by money, and she's never been outright evil.

Does anyone else think this season sucks so far?
