yup she broke up with jimmy, moved out, and quit her job as a lawyer because of the major problems that are caused when they are together


Didn't only quit a job, she is no longer a lawyer period.

Do you think we're just not going to see Kim anymore?

I went out on a limb a long time ago. Still feel good about it.

Tell me your thoughts about Kim's role from here on out. We can compare notes later.

Buddy, this has been interesting but its over. You're not writing the show.

They aren't going to retcon the BB universe like this at the last minute on a spin-off. Its like a cardinal rule of story telling outside comic books.

I don't know why you can't come to grips with that.

If its not a troll, its just sad. Get help.

I found it interesting, and funny for obvious reasons, when Kim was saying why she was leaving it matched up with what many here have been saying for months.

She thought the scam ruining Howard was fun. And then it got real and she couldn't handle it so popped smoke.

maybe getting the book for jimmy. maybe telling jimmy they can be in secret contact 1x a year (Francesca call) unless he gets out of the game or needs her help. maybe she's in flashbacks or there's more drama about sandpaper money as she leaves.

the only thing we now know for certain is that she wont have a role of being saul goodman, your theory is dead. also yes we will have to see kim a little more because there will be an explanation on why she isn't in BB except maybe being retconned for Francesca to call at the end.

thanks for sharing. So, a week ago Rolling Stone reporter knew this breakup scene was coming. Safe to say Ham could have done some work to find the spoilers for this week ahead of time. That's why he posted yesterday.

quote:

But she spoke with Rolling Stone last week by phone from London about the work that went into making the breakup scene so great,


Ham crying himself to sleep reading this:

quote:

How do you feel about the way the episode is structured so that Jimmy is watching her pack and then the very next thing we see is Saul Goodman, and the way it suggests that Kim was the only thing preventing him from becoming this person?


Rhea's own answer to that question: J - K = S
quote:

She was the last person that thought that he deserved anything better than what the world kept telling him. And without that voice, he only has the dark voice that we all have in our heads. He lost the one that said, “That’s not true. You’re a good person.” And that’s horribly sad.

The way that they went right into Jimmy waking up in the BB/Saul era would seem to make it problematic to go back in time to resolving any Sandpiper payout issues.

I mean they can. It just seems like it would be bad film making as they jumped ahead around 4 years for a pretty substantial part of the show.

And Saul's house would seem to point to him having gotten a large sum of money beyond what he gets from the trash walking through his reception area daily.

He’s 100% gonna move the goalposts and claim victory if Kim winds up running into Saul or Gene down the line.

But we know now that J+K=S is dead.

Either way, mental gymnastics are coming…

theyve jumped forward a few times this season already and went back, i dont see how its an issue any more than other times.


but i dont really think theyll spend time on sandpiper but it could be mentioned if they use the money for the black book or something. i was just listing a flurry of possibilities to contrast with the impossibility of kim being saul.

J+K isn't about their romantic relationship.

Is she helping/conspiring with Saul Goodman during BB and WW. Don't get things twisted.

Their love life plays a factor, but how that ends is anyone's guess.

So, forgetting about that dipshit for a second, tonight may have been the last time we saw Gus Fring and Mike on the screen (in terms of new content, of course). Our window into this universe is closing.

its already begun. he's trying to act like we are saying kim is written off the show at this moment and we will never see kim again.

please dont dead name. ham prolly gets jollies by having j+k=S be referred to at all...we should start referring to the accurate theory J - K = S

& her answer had zero to do with their romantic relationship. She said with Kim no longer being in the picture, Jimmy only has that dark voice left to listen to and fully becomes Saul. There you have it J-K=S, straight from the actress playing Kim.

give up on your J+K shite

Fit plowing hookers, on a rotating bed, into your theory of their love life.

i love the walk back of recent. its a significant change of your tone the past few weeks that 'KIM IS SAUL GOODMAN', 'she driving the train', 'jimmy is trapped into being saul bc kim cannot stop'

There's no moving the goalposts.

I have a 5 year old thread claiming Kim is helping Saul during BB.

We either see a BB scene involving Kim, or we don't.

It's black and white.There is no possibility of moving them.

The people that claim I'm moving them are hedging their bets in advance.

Kim will be involved with Jimmy/Saul in BB.
