    He didn't buy the Bowling Balls before the lunch, he bought them after. The Cold Open is a mild Flashforward into the middle of the episode.

    I think Saul turning down the perfect job offers is also a parallel to Walt rejecting the Schwartz' offer to pay for chemo treatments in the beginning of Breaking Bad. Both had offers that would have solved all their problems but they rejected them out of a sense of pride and need to prove one's self without the charity of others.

  • @thewhatness
    @thewhatness 4 года назад +164

    To be clear:
    Jimmy is mad at Howard for somehow finding some peace over Chuck's death, which is something he was never able to do. Hence, bowling balls. Jimmy feels like Howard's Namaste front is bull, and he feels like the job offer is out of pity and an attempt for Howard to further come to terms with himself, and he's insulted.

    • @iliboxic7586
      @iliboxic7586 4 года назад +30

      and Jimmy doesn't want to face the fact that he's as much as Howard responsible for Chuck's death because he started the whole thing with the insurance. That's why he needs to blame Howard.

    I feel like you guys still don't get Jimmy. If he worked at HHM he'd be right back on the Davis and Main train. Not saying that Howard is a bad guy at all, and Jimmy is certainly wrong for harassing him, but Howard clearly does not understand how much his words upset him.

Like yeah any normal person would take the job or at least decline politely but jimmy specifically has ties to Howard and HHM and because of what happened with his brother it makes sense why he wouldn't want it even if he was a dick about it. It's not like I expect them to like jimmys actions cause they are fucked but they don't even understand why he does it.

      @b1zika 4 года назад +9

      Bob Odenkirk said in some intervew i saw that when Jimmy meets Howard he sees Chuck. And his judgement. Howard was kinda of dick to Jimmy because of Chuck. And at the same time Howard was put in between because of Chuck and even if he wanted to hire him.. he couldnt. I think he cant get over it just as Howard did. For Jimmy it is personal and it hurts. For Howard its just business. No way would Jimmy want the job. Its brings back all the frustration and the fact that Howard didnt want to hire him. And Chuck's judgement about him not being a real lawyer and "slippin Jimmy". Howard is past all the bulshit because for him its all business. For Chuck and Jimmy it is personal. They cant let go off each other. Even after Jimmy stopped taking care of Chuck back in season 1. Howard is sincere but he doesnt understand the full scope of the situation.

    Mike was clearly exhibiting self-destructive behavior after what happened with Werner and Gus knew it. He had eyes on dude from the moment the deed was done to make sure he was okay because he has that much respect for Mike.

  • @TheSpoonman00
    @TheSpoonman00 4 года назад +30

    I never realized it until now: when Jimmy says "cleansing moment of clarity" to Howard, that's a VERY clever callback. In the first episode of the series, Jimmy quotes the "YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE, MR. BEALE" speech from Network in front of Howard. "Cleansing moment of clarity" is also a quote from Network, addressed by Howard Beale. So Jimmy is similarly calling Howard "Mr. Beale", a crazy person, through popular reference. Fuckin brilliant.

    28:04 when you think about it, in breaking bad, gus has never taken mike with him when he goes to visit hector in that nursing home. Maybe that's the reason, because hector already knows who mike is and may send someone to threaten his granddaughter if anyone finds out that mike is working for Gus.

    I know, the show is nudging you to see Howard in a more sympathetic light, and he certainly doesn't deserve the shit that Jimmy seems determined to shovel at him, but you shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Howard isn't perfect: He threw Kim into the cornfield and when Jimmy's antics at Davis & Main "reflected poorly" on Kim for pushing them to take him, AND he kept her there even when she brought them the Mesa Verde account. He wasn't acting on the behest of Chuck there, in fact it was actually Chuck who recognized Howard was being overly harsh on her and ultimately convinced him to end Kim's exile. So Jimmy does have some reason to be resentful on her behalf.

  • @toniknight1786
    @toniknight1786 4 года назад +3

    I think Jiimmy feels that Howard is making peace with everything that's happened and everything's he's done buy feels that karma hasn't hit Howard for the way he treated him and Kim. He's clearly got some anger/resentment. towards Howard. I think Howard is genuine and was just following Chucks orders/advise out of respect and appreciation to Chuck regarding Jimmy. And then you have Mike punishing himself because he feels guilty about doing Gus' dirty work, lashing out at his granddaughter and not being able to save his son. It was good seeing Hank and Gomez and I would watch a buddy cop show with them, I'm ready for another spin off show.

    I love how hard you guys defend Howard. I'm not going to get into arguing about it other than to say he's as clueless as he's always been. He doesn't understand Saul any better than he understood Jimmy. He also doesn't know when to let shit go. If he really understood why Jimmy changed his name he wouldn't have made him that job offer. Also, that cold open took place after the lunch between Saul and Howard. It was the job offer that pissed Saul off. He didn't care about Howard before that.
    It's not a conflict of interest for lawyers who are dating to represent opposing clients. Kim should probably let her client know about it but there's no rule against it.
