The ring he's wearing at the end is a ring he wears in Breaking Bad. Kinda cool that they gave it a backstory.
Wow never notice that
The scene where a woman finds out Jimmy/Saul isn't Kevin Costner is a reference to a scene in Breaking Bad with Walter and Saul.
Breaking Bad - 3x11
where Saul brings up that he once convinced a woman he was Kevin Costner.
Which minute in this video?
It was also revealed in one of the episodes that he’s been married several times.
@@Redhawk1986. I think it was said he was married twice, not several times.
He also says in BB that he caught his ex wife sleeping with his step dad though. There's no indication of any of that happening within the BCS time frame, so Saul could've been just making things up
20:25
You might notice throughout this season that as much as Jimmy tried to stay on the straight and narrow, everyone he came across sized him up as how they saw him. Betsy Kettleman tells him "you're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire", Mike chuckles when Jimmy asks "what made you think I would spill that coffee?", and Nacho leaves him his contact information saying "for when you realize you're in the game". Almost every character sees Jimmy one way regardless of how much Jimmy tries to be seen as legitimate. Chuck was probably the only person throughout the season that was keeping him in line which is what makes Chuck's true feelings about Jimmy's inabillity to change all the more painful.
I like to think this ending is Jimmy realizing he needs to truly figure out who he is for himself and start living life on his own terms. It's open-ended and in my opinion this season is the perfect foundation for the series going forward. Glad you guys are digging this show as much as you have.
Yeah, people keep overstating how morally good and capable Mike is. Dude is constantly underestimating people because of who they *appear* to be. Walter's just some nerd with insecurity issues, Jimmy's just a crooked lawyer, Gus is just a professional businessman. He even recognized that Walt was a time bomb, and still couldn't get out of the way fast enough, because he was too busy giving self-aggrandizing moral lectures. If he spent less time trying to pretend like he knows everything, he might have more friends, and might have picked a better line of work.
I remember someone said that Breaking Bad is like a shakespearean tragedy because it's a character condemned by his own decisions. Whereas Better Call Saul is like a greek tragedy because it's a character condemned by his own destiny. The world keeps putting him on his place, telling him to play his role.
@@pokesok Wow, very well put.
They way i see it Jimmy was slowly but steadily going the right path , He left Marco he got a job he got a law degree and just when his life was about to change for better chuck denies him to work at HHMM he goes back to occasionaly be Slippery Jimmy and even tho everyione is telling him hes a bad guy it does matter what makes him go this bad way is chuck because even tho he got his law degree even tho he was changing his brother chuck just couldnt accept him because he was jealous and thats what made Jimmy go the breaking bad path
Jimmy through this season was Matty with Mike. Everyone told him to go dirty, everyone told him to break, and he couldn't do it, because of his brother. Just like Matty couldn't because of his father. When the person who was their hero themselves is telling them to debase themselves, that's when they break.
Descartes: "I think, therefore I am."
Aristotle: "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."
Steven: "You have to expose yourself to release poop into a vehicle, and if children are sitting underneath you, you are exposing yourself to children."
Best comment ive ever read lmaoo
Poetry.. sheer poetry!!!!
They should sell shirts with that quote.
20 likes on this, really? This is gold :D
Season 1 is only the begining, its laying the foundation of the rest of the show, season 2, 3 and 4 builds of that foundation, and it builds itself into a skyscraper!
Whats the plan, Dutch?
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up Just one more train!
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up Have faith booiiii!!
I love you guys :)
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up More money
Y'all are confused by this ending but it's basic:
Jimmy is questioning EVERYTHING about himself (The Good and The Bad) and about how to get what HE wants the way HE decides. This is a turning point for how Jimmy's going to guide his life and how he's not going to let anything stand in his way anymore.
Well...until the next episode.
They ended it with him saying that the morality that had stopped him from taking the money wouldn't stop him anymore. This was in case the show was cancelled they could've that he turned into Saul there.
@@mushroomlad6233 source?
@@andrealuisi9097 Just trust me on this💯💯💯
I believe the creators left the ending that way in case the show got cancelled ; they could make the argument that he became Saul at the end.
This show getting cancelled at this point would have let to riots, man!
I think you might be right. First seasons for experimental shows are always iffy. Since the script writing as well as the vast majority of the filming has to be done before the first episode airs. The production costs of the entire first season has to be paid for before you get any money or even audience reviews. It is all too common that shows just simply decide a second season won't make financial sense. Its common practice to attempt to hedge your bets on a first season of any show.
Jimmy doesn’t want to take the deal because he became a lawyer to earn Chuck’s approval. He is now punishing Chuck as well as caving into Chuck’s pronouncement that Jimmy will always be slipping Jimmy.
Marco loved Jimmy for who he is at heart, a clever funny scoundrel. Chuck despised that personality so jimmy tried to be what he thought Chuck wanted. Now that he knows Chuck never wanted him to succeed as a lawyer, Jimmy doesn’t want to continue down that path. It’s for two reasons: 1, he’s no longer motivated to impress Chuck and 2, he believes Chuck was right that people don’t change; he’s condemning himself to remain Slippin’ Jimmy because of Chuck’s rejection and Marco’s fawning admiration.
Nice analysis dude!
This sums it up perfectly. He is in a bit of an identity crisis at this point of the show, and since Marco loved him for who he was and passed away, Jimmy definitely took that into account and later becomes who he is in Breaking Bad.
I love how Vince turned an arbitrary ring worn by Saul in BB, and turned it into a tragic and heart-wrenching story.
I love how Vince Gilligan makes callbacks to Breaking Bad.
“I once convinced a woman that I was Kevin Costner because I believed it.”
He's not the only writer...
kuhpunkt it was never implied otherwise
It's good that they don't force it. It feels natural and not "in your face" fanservice
Chuck was able to keep him from getting registered as a sex offender. But because of that he had to move out to NM and leave his life behind, plus no matter how much he straightened his life out Chuck still sees him as that person. That's how he's "still paying" for it. But this does give a little more context for why Chuck would be so against Jimmy joining his firm (even if he did keep him from joining in the shittiest way possible).
Jimmy has just been told by the brother that he loves that he can never be legitimate and will always be the worst version of himself. So he is beginning to internalize that point of view. It's not about having the money, it's about what he thinks he deserves. It's similar to Walter White, who wasn't truly in it just for the money but the power that he had in the drug business.
Georgia O'Keefe mention by Saul at about @11:10: callback to Breaking Bad where Jane takes Jesse to see Georgia O Keefe paintings.
Jimmy: Does the wrong thing for the right reason.
Chuck: Does the right thing for the wrong reason.
I interpret the ending as: Jimmy has spent the last few years of his life trying to be a legitimate lawyer to impress Chuck and 'do the right thing'. But after learning Chuck thinks he can't change, and realizing he has more fun scamming people, he thinks 'what's the point of joining that law firm? If Chuck thinks Im just a con man, I may as well be one'
Weird. I thought everybody loved that cliffhanger. It's still my favorite so far.
“It’s never stopping me again.” This is truly the moment Jimmy became Saul Goodman
Marco is played by Mel Rodriguez. He has been great in everything I've seen him in. Loved him in Last Man On Earth. His comedic chemistry with Will Forte there was so great.
It’s been over a year and I am genuinely STILL. MAD. that LMOE was cancelled. Hilarious and poignant and beautiful all at once.
There's a really good scene at the end of the episode. He's going to the interview and he's looking right, east like the Kennedy half-dollar. He's looking at the old world, his past. When we should be looking west, at the new world, his future.
It's also really highlighted by the golden sun in his hair.
I'm shocked at your confusion of the ending. It's fairly simple. He's done everything up to this point to please Chuck, trying to take the moral path like them and change his ways, but he realized it'll never be good enough for Chuck and some others. But he had the time of his life getting to be himself again in Chicago, so he's decided to start living like himself again. It's basically a "Then Let Me Be Evil" type of situation. In short, he's decided to start acting like Slipping Jimmy because he likes it and it's truer to who he is inside, instead of acting like somebody he's not for Chuck's benefit and approval, which he'll likely never get.
ShadeKetchum it’s too fucking simple, that’s why they’re confused. This ending was pretty bad and came out of nowhere just because the writers didn’t want to end the season on a cliffhanger if the show gets cancelled.
I'm not a huge fan of the season 1 finale but it's absurd to say that it comes out of nowhere. It definitely comes a little too fast and needed more developing, but Switch fixes that anyway so it isn't awful.
I’m constantly shocked by their inability to understand nuance.
I’ve never seen someone laugh so hard at their own joke before
9:36 Jimmy takes care Chuck everyday, for over a year.
But Chuck still said: "People don't change."
So sad.
I think that what Chuck hates most about Jimmy is the fact that "He will never change" He has hate and contempt for the fact that Jimmy will never grow or evolve. The ironic thing is that Chuck can't change or grow. Chuck hates himself. Chuck can't stand injustice and he feels that, if the world is just then, Jimmy will forever slip. Jimmy had love and admiration from people, Chuck had respect. This was fine by Chuck because at least had something he thought Jimmy could never have or earn. As long as this "BALANCE" is maintained Chuck can handle things (sort of.) Then Jimmy passes the bar. Chuck sandbags Jimmy at every turn after this because Chuck feels that this is unfair and not just. Chuck knows on some level that what Jimmy did by getting a law degree on his own with no help from big brother is a thing worthy of respect. Jimmy changed!! Passing the bar without begging Chuck to prep him and maybe give him an edge (or a way to game the system) is not the Slippin Jimmy that Chuck requires to have the world make sense for him. Chuck starts to suffer from his "CONDITION" and Jimmy becomes his caretaker. This again is something that is worthy of both admiration and respect. To help a shut-in with his every need while maintaining a public defenders job is something beyond the capabilities of Slippin Jimmy. Jimmy can change and grow that is why Chuck hates him (Because CHUCK CAN'T)
The Kevin Costner thing was a callback to Breaking Bad, He told part of that story in an episode. Can;t remember which,
When i finished season 1 i was like ‘’it was okay’’ but trust me when i say this, the next three seasons amazing! They are almost better then breaking bad! I’m happy you made it through season 1, alot of people didn’t finish it, they thought it was too ‘’boring’’ oh boy they were wrong!
To me was the second best
Do you still think it's just "okay" now?
@@FidoeFTW He edited it.
" I once got a woman to sleep with me by saying I was Kevin Costner, and it worked... because I believed it."
My opinion is that it doesn’t really matter how Jimmy became a lawyer. He didn’t hurt anyone to become one and the fact is that he is really freaking good at it, maybe better than Chuck. Sometimes skills matter more than how hard you work for something, even though of course that should also be appreciated. I don’t know how hard Jimmy worked to get his law degree, but he sure as heck works super hard on his cases.
"💩 end of the stick"

That was hilarious
I think in a way Marco was more of a brother to Jimmy than Chuck ever was
*Notes from Better Call Saul Insider Podcast*
*Episode:* Marco
*Co-hosts* Kelley Dixon (editor); Chris McCaleb (editor)
*Guests:* Co-showrunners Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould; Mel Rodriguez (Marco); Arthur Albert (cinematographer); Patrick Fabian (Howard)
1. Episode written & directed by Peter Gould
2. Howard, in the scene with Jimmy giving him the list of what he did for chuck, was totally embarrassed, realizing he was so indebted to Chuck that he’d allowed himself to be controlled by him
3. Looking back in retrospect, we can see Howard had been going out of his way ~not~ to be a dick to jimmy
4. Arthur had pitched for Howard to be a vampire 😁 he figured he had to either turn out to be a really good guy or ultimate evil
5. Bob said to Patrick in the first scene they shot together “it feels like we’re saying lines to each other. What’s going through your mind?” And Patrick said “I’m talking to bob odenkirk. He plays Saul Goodman. (Etc)”. So Bob said “ok, let’s forget that. Let’s just talk as people right now” (while other things were happening on set) So they did, and they both relaxed, and the scene was much easier. Vince even said “oh! That was good! More of that!”
6. Similarly, Bob invited Mel to his house for dinner before they shot together, and they talked through all that outside stuff to get to a real relationship & remove any awkwardness/non-immersive feeling
7. Mel says it’s hard to come in for a guest spot as everyone on set knows each other & has inside jokes & has a rhythm. Bob inviting him over helped so much. But everyone involved was really welcoming, and even people in the props department gave him a suggestion on how to break the bottle that helped inform his character
8. Mel had two days to learn a Chicago accent. He watched Bob’s sketches where he did the accent among other things
9. Marco loves jimmy as much as jimmy loves chuck. Where chuck isn’t giving jimmy what jimmy wants/needs from him, the same is true for jimmy with Marco
10. Vince was a little nervous people would be upset we still have Jimmy McGill and not Saul by the end of the season. But, over the season, he fell in love with Jimmy McGill so hard that he’s almost afraid of getting to Saul too soon and losing Jimmy
Now we know how Saul got the ring he is always wearing. Also I remember when Saul told Walter White he convinced a female that he was Kevin Costner. Now we saw that in this episode too. lol
Steven's "It's SHOWTIIIIIIME" segue just keeps on growing. Gotta love it lol
The cliffhanger isn't supposed to be confusing
At the end, Marco said he didn't need the money, he needed the scams. Jimmy is more like his friend Marco, than his brother Chuck. Jimmy literally turns his back on Chuck at the end. To me, he is choosing to embrace his Slippin Jimmy side and is coming back with no second guessing
Yeah he was booked for that, but wasn't charged for that since his brother got the charges dropped and reduced. But he's been paying for his mistakes through the stuff that's been happening with HHM
It was fun watching season 1 with you guys! I love your conversation afterwards...it's like the perfect amount of time with the perfect amount of substance. Keep up the great channel!
He's not a sex offender. he was GOING to be a sex offender and Chuck saved him.
"I once convinced a woman that I was Kevin Costner... and it worked, because I believed it!" Saul Goodman Breaking Bad Season 3
@NikkiandSteven
As always, it is so great to see your reactions. As others have stated, I am surprised at your confusion as to the ending of the episode. While it may not be filled with PHYSICAL action, it is jam-packed with CHARACTER action/development.
There are 2 characters that are major influences/representations in Jimmy's life: Marco and Chuck
- Chuck: Represents the legal upstanding side of what Jimmy wants to be. This is basically him being a good lawyer. However, everytime he tries to do things legitimately it gets pulled away from him because of people's expectations (manifested by his brother), and his sense of morality.
- Marco: Represents the part of his life that he is naturally good at. Schemes and quick money. However, Jimmy knows that there is no future in this life.....because he ultimately meets Marco at the EXACT same place (the bar) he left him. He is dying
So we have now met the 2 main influences of Jimmy's current worldview. Marco and Chuck.....however neither of them work on their own. Marco is a totem/reminder of Slippin Jimmy, and Chuck is the totem of James Mcgill. Neither by themselves bring Jimmy fulfillment.
What Jimmy realizes and considers for the 1st time is COMBINING these 2 personas.....and the result is what we know of as Saul Goodman.
Both Chuck (last episode in anger) and Marco (this episode in admiration) both view Jimmy as a combination Slippin-Jimmy and a lawyer. It is Jimmy who never looks at it that way. That is why Jimmy's conversation to Mike at the Parking Booth is so pivotal. It is the 1st time he has allowed himself to look at the Kettleman mess FULLY as Slippin Jimmy. He references what "stopped him" and we get the sense it is trying to live up to some standard to impress people (mainly Chuck). When he says it will "never stop me again", that is him saying he is not going to live his life dictated by others terms. He is going to forge his own path which is symbolized by him driving down the MIDDLE of the road :)
So who / what is Saul Goodman......
Chuck calls him a dangerous person:
1) "Slippin Jimmy with a law degree, is like a chimp with a machine gun"
2) "I know you.....I know you who are...people never change....you're Slippin Jimmy
Marco claims that Jimmy has outdone him because being a lawyer is the greatest con of all. He can run much more complex and monetary plans than what they could as hustlers in Cicero.
I would highly encourage you to go back and rewatch some of Breaking Bad and watch Saul Goodman.....especially Season 5 when things start breaking down. You can see Jimmy McGill there and the vulnerability introduced in Season 1.
In conclusion, the character of Jimmy McGill is the most fascinating to me out of the whole BrBad / BCS universe.
Please keep watching the show as things get alot more interesting with both Jimmy and the world around him.
Be curious to hear your thoughts
Bob Odenkirk was so good in the bingo scene.
As a meta note, I think this episode was written without knowing whether or not there'd be a season 2, so they wanted the ending to be serviceable as the ending to the series while still leaving an opening to continue the series.
At the end we see jimmy resorting back to the man Marco wanted him to be, “slippin jimmy” showing chuck was right and he can’t change even when all the odds are for him
I think he definitely would have if Chuck had believed in him. If people don’t believe in you and you know it, it gets so much harder.
Jimmy wanted to earn Chucks approval but deep down I’m not sure he really wanted to change, Chuck got him off the hook and as a result he felt compelled to make a change but in his heart he was still Slippin Jimmy and Chuck knew it. After finding out that Chuck sabotaged him Jimmy decides to be a lawyer on his own terms, a criminal lawyer, instead of staying on the straight and narrow because he truly wanted to change. If all it takes is one persons disapproval to make you give up, odds are you weren’t doing it for yourself you were doing it to validate yourself in the eyes of someone else, and that never ends well.
HHM is a large law firm, they have more than just 3 lawyers. They have associates (entry level lawyers), senior associates (more experienced lawyers), and partners (Chuck is one among several). It doesn’t matter where Jimmy went to law school, unless it was Ivy League Chuck was always going to be biased against it. What matters more than the school is passing the bar, which Jimmy does. Hiring Jimmy to be a lawyer at HHM is not the same as hiring off the street vs promoting from within. Also, being arrested doesn’t mean much if the charges are dropped and if they’re dropped, he would not be registered as a sex offender. Being a lawyer is a job where it doesn’t matter as much if you’ve been to jail, it would only matter if they’ve been disbarred.
There was a flash back in an earlier episode where it shows Chuck getting him out of the indecent exposure charges
It seems Chuck is (and will keep) trying to "Chicago-sunroof" his little brother's life and career...
Ive been waiting all day (and month) for this episode!
In retrospect after seeing the rest of the show, the ending of S1 makes sense. But yeah, first time I watched this, it felt too ambiguous given the information I currently had available. Don't worry about it, guys. It gets way better in S2.
As I watched the episode I kept thinking, "I wonder if there is an emoji for a sunroof? That would surely make Nikki smile"
Call forward to Breaking Bad : Jimmy is calling bingo numbers and listing several words that begin with B and he includes ''Belize''. When he was discussing with Walt the problem that Hank's investigation is posing he said to Walt: ''Have you given any thoughts send him a trip to Belize''
To clarify a bit more on what Jimmy said about knowing what stopped him and it wasn’t stopping him again, He was in referring to his morals and his rules that he had built for himself for years trying to make it as not only an honorable lawyer but also have that approval from his older brother who he obviously took advantage of the opportunity that Chuck gave to him but when that realization hit that Chuck was against him the entire time, Jimmy feels that it was all for nothing and that trust has basically crumbled along with their relationship. Of course Jimmy isn’t by any means walking the line and perfect, this season alone he has had minor hiccups but they haven’t been enough to evolve him into the Saul Goodman we all know- he had that advantage to take all that money and get away with it but his morals and good conscious made him do the right thing. For himself, for his career and of course for the love of his brother. By the end of this season while he is not there to becoming Saul Goodman, he is now starting on that path to become slowly and surely who we know to be Saul Goodman.
Jimmy finally figured out he will do what he does best - as Jim Rockford said ; " Even on my best days, I'm working on the edge!"
Nikki your jokes are almost as bad as mine. Well done! lol
Apologize, the both of you!
7:42 - Nice catch. I didn’t remember him flashing “rolex” like that in the open.
This is my most favorite episode and contains my most favorite Breaking Bad callback - Kevin Costner. It was so subdued, almost sort of slipped in that it was cool. But the episode, totally blew me away and sets the beginning of Jimmy’s journey in to becoming Saul. So much epicness!! BCS rocks!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I can’t wait for next weeks reaction. 2x01 is one of my favourite episodes! 💝
Agreed. I feel like that was the episode where they really nailed down the tone and pace of the series. I enjoy season 1 a lot, but there's are big shift in the series starting with Switch.
Agreed 👍🏻😎
Like someone wrote earlier in comments, the writer's did not know if there was going to be a season 2 so they had to write the season 1 finale to show how Jimmy became Saul Goodman in case only 1 season of Better Call Saul. Then AMC ok'ed more seasons and the writer's expanded Jimmy's story on how he will become Saul Goodman as you know him in Breaking Bad.
Also, Chuck got him off those charges that would have him registered as a Sex Offender, but Chuck saved him from that. Jimmy tried to made good for Chuck but Chuck broke Jimmy's heart so now Saul Goodman is in the future.
That's not really the case. Vince Gilligan said AMC had pretty much guaranteed the show would continue.
@@Carlos-ln8fd I watched the show live and it was never for sure during the production of season 1 that AMC would do more seasons until after they finished season 1 production but before it aired, so the writer wrote the story as if only one season would be made , we can agree to disagree, and "pretty much guaranteed" is not a confirmed yes in my view. so during the production ,Vince wrote season 1 as if only one season would be made just in case the unlikelihood AMC said no more seasons. but then AMC saw season 1 before it aired , like it , and approved multiple seasons and I think is why the story flows better throughout the seasons because the writers knew they could tell the story thru multiple seasons.
@@newlah1972 I don't know where you read any of that. Gilligan has said many times he has AMC behind him 100%. It was during the early BB days that he wasn't sure about the future of the show since the ratings weren't so good but BCS was always succesful.
@@Carlos-ln8fd again, you are remembering it differently than me. so please let's just agree to disagree. I feel that the season 1 finale ended in a way that gave the impression to the viewers that he became Saul Goodman because of what happen in season 1. Lucky for us that AMC approved multiple seasons so that the writer's had more time to explain how Jimmy became Saul Goodman and how Mike became Mike of Breaking Bad.
"I don't need the money Jimmy. I need this." It's not about the money, it's about how he gets the money. Is partnering with a firm and specializing in elder law really true to how he views himself? Is that going to be fulfilling to Jimmy? Did Chuck break him down so he thinks he doesn't even deserve to go the legit route?
Pretty sure the term "Chicago Sunroof" was invented for the show. I've lived in Chicago my whole life and I never heard the term until I saw Better Call Saul.
Me being ignorant but knowing Chicago would totally believe it was a real thing 🤣
Thank you Nikki for the laugh tonight. That was hilarious
It’s great listening to you guys trying to figure everything out, knowing everything that’s happened up to S5 Finale. Looking forward to more :D
Season one is personally my least favourite, it gets better from here on IMO. Excited for season 2 :D
Can’t wait til they see season 3 and 4! Those two seasons are so fucking epic
Even then it's still a great season!
Really?I think season 1 is fantastic.I found season 2 the slowest upon rewatch but I don't remember what I thought of it on my first time watching it.
Outer Heaven Season 1 isn’t bad I just found it a lot slower than the other seasons but obviously it’s setting the stage for the rest of the show, introducing characters etc - it’s the same with Breaking Bad, season 1 was a lot slower than the following seasons. I love BCS though, just rewatched it all for the second time and liked it even more than I did the first time I watched it.
Great finale, and it only gets better from here
I once read that this episode ended the way it did because the writers and producers were not sure if the show would be given the green light for a second season, so they ended it hinting at Jimmy truly becoming Breaking Bad's Saul, but not completely (in case BCS got approved for more seasons)
🅱💰⚰💍
Not really. The way they wrote this and Breaking Bad they're making stuff up as they go along but Vince Gilligan has said he always knew the show was getting renewed because he has a super good relationship with AMC.
@@Carlos-ln8fd Oh, that's nice! I hope their relationship continues to be like that. Thanks for clearing it up! :)
That's not true, Carlos. Memo is right. They didn't know.
@@kuhpunkt They didn't know where the story was going but they did know they were getting a second season. During press for season 3 they asked Gilligan if he was afraid of not getting renewed and he said he wasn't because AMC/were so supportive of the show. Also it wouldn't have made sense to cancel it since it's when of the most watched shows in the platforn.
You're now putting doubt into my mind, but I remember saying them otherwise... might have been on the podcast for episode 2x01.
The season 1 finale was aired in April 2014. The renewal didn't come until June 2014.
will you guys PLEASE do a sum up/recap/predictions vid for the end of season 1?
i really, REALLY love watching these reaction vids. its so wonderful to re-go on this adventure WITH you both.
thank you both so much for all the effort and hard work. its a lot of fun!! 💜💜
Did you notice how all of the episodes except episode five ended in "o"? A lot of people believe that it was supposed to be named "Jello", but they would not let them use that name.
Can’t wait for y’all to get to season 3!
Davis & Maine weren't offering a partnership, they were offering a partner *track* position. Basically he would have the same job as Kim and would have the chance to become a Partner after 3-5 years *if* they wanted him.
You'll love Season 2
Paul Garcia Season 3 is the best season
@@Jamie-kv9eg finished it last week it was awesome...waiting for Season 4 to drop on Netflix
@@paulgarcia8608 Season 4 dropped 1 year ago didn't it?
@@IV_97 Yup, they're shooting 5 now. Due to be released in September I think.
Jimmie spent the past few years taking care of Chuck and doing things Chuck's way to make his brother proud. Leaving made him put things in a different perspective. Why should he do things Chuck's way when his brother thinks he's a disappointment no matter what?
WATCH TRUE DETECTIVE NEXT!
Yes! What did you think about season 3? I personally really liked it
@@SolidSnake240 Was better than Season 2 and almost as good as the 1st.
How did you miss the chance to drop a poop emoji!?!?! haha
Jimmy has been spending the past couple of years doing things because it's what he thought Chuck would want him to do. He wasn't being himself, he's been what he thinks Chuck wants him to be. It's lead to some good things like becoming a lawyer, but now he knows that Chuck never really wanted Jimmy to become anything. He just wanted to keep Jimmy out of trouble and would never think anything more of Jimmy no matter what he did. So Jimmy spending time with Marco reminded Jimmy of who he was and seeing Marco die like that made him realize life is too short not to live it on his own terms. That's why he decided to walk away like that at the end. He's thinking about who he was and who he's become and it's making him question who he really is.
Thrill of the game.
“It’s like a Georgia O’ Keefe painting
The Kevin Costner line was the single funniest line of breaking bad. Glad they brought it back
Okay I know I said you'll know it when you see it when Jimmy becomes Saul, but this isn't actually it.
Jimmy is not a registered sex offender. Chuck helped him beat the rap.
Watched this season 1 years ago, show really didn't do for me after a Breaking Bad as I hoped for. Then when you guys announced that you are gonna watch this, I picked it up again and continued from season 2. And after few episodes, I was totally hooked, binged season 2-4 in few weeks. Love this show!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! FINALE YEAAAY
I wish the guy who directed the show would film the Old people attending bingo would laugh their asses off by Saul GoodMan’s Story.
Just renewed for a 5th season, are you guys ever gonna get around to The Expanse?
Going back and watching these reactions are great i love how for most of the first season we really hated Howard but as soon as we find out Chuck was behind it Howard immediately becomes such a complex character and as we all know that have watched the show he continues to become more complex and really sympathetic
You are confused because you want to see Jimmy as a good guy. He isn't and never has been. Jimmy loves the hustle. He loves playing people. He only wanted to be legit because thats what he thought Chuck wanted. In his heart he was always and will always be Slippin Jimmy. Thats what he loves
My main issue with Chuck here is the way he communicate. If he told Jimmy that he loved him, but didd'nt want to mix family and business, and that Jimmy's criminal past gives him cold feet when it comes to hiring him into his own firm, I think Jimmy would have understood, eventually. Jimmy should not rely on this brother to fix him a job. He's an adult. At the same time, Chuck should be more humble i regards to the fact, that his illness, makes him demendent on Jimmy's support.
Yeah in Breaking Bad, Saul tells Walter White that he once convinced a woman he was Kevin Costner.. lots of nice little easter eggs splattered throughout BCS.
15:14 Please Nikki never change!!
The children were in the back seat. Jimmy did. not dump on them. He did not know that they were there.
"Getting the shit end of the stick"...cue poop emoji
People say this show is a slow burn, but I really don't even consider it that. A slower show would have spent a couple episodes on the Marco subplot. This show did everything they had to do in half an episode.
Yes!!!!It's like waiting for your favorite thing all day...totally worth it
He's now transformed into the "criminal" lawyer, the very thing you guys have been waiting to see lol
13:40 Jimmy is not a registered sex offender. The prosecution tried to slap it on him but it didn't stick. L-I-S-T-E-N
This is my RUclips-highlight of the week now.
Ya'll are gonna dig where the show goes.
I've seen you guys experience BB.
This is exciting.
Can't wait.
Church.
The money isn't necessarily the point. Jimmy is at a point here where he's done pretending to be the man Chuck wanted him to be. As we see in this episode, Jimmy can skate by in life doing what he loves: cons.
That being said, this is my least favorite episode of the season. But season 2 is going to be incredible.
Might be my least favorite of the series. There's a lot to like about it but the ending feels like they're jumping the gun on turning Jimmy into Saul.
That makes a lot of sense when you think about it. A con man would jump the gun if it meant getting a big payday. And Jimmy/Saul clearly has jumped the gun before with trying to scam Mrs Kettlemen to become her lawyer, even working with Walt without thinking about the dangers of getting involved in a drug business. So jumping the gun is surprisingly accurate to his character.
*Some spoilers just in case Nikki and Steven are reading*
Sure, he doesn't become Saul yet, but the implication of this ending is that Jimmy is going to throw away everything that he's accomplished and all of his ethics, potentially going straight into becoming Saul or Saul-like. It's a huge jump that doesn't feel entirely earned. Even the writers have talked about how they went into season 2 not knowing how they could go on with the story because they felt that they were moving him into becoming Saul too fast. That's why they ultimately retconned the final scene and had him go into the meeting when they realized that Jimmy would still be anchored by his relationship with Kim.
In the context of the rest of the series that follows the final scene works better because we have more of a sense of who Jimmy is and how he makes rash decisions before thinking them through, but just going off of the first season this last moment just felt flat to me at the time. But I do think that they corrected it and turned the show into something even better than it was during the first season.
and that folks, is a Chicago sunroof!
B 💰 ⚰ 💍 I'm not sure what cliffhanger you are referring to... the story (apparently) wrapped up the HHM/Chuck part of his life, and now he's going on to a new/old life as "Slippin' Jimmy", looking out for Number One.
However, as a wise man named Rodney Dangerfield once said, "As you walk through life, always look out for Number One... Just don't step in Number Two!" 😁
(R.I.P. Rodney, "You mah boi, Rodney!")
Funnily enough, Bob Odenkirk played Charles Manson in a series of comedic sketches on the Ben Stiller Show.
Further proof Howard was a good guy the whole time. He helped him get the Santa Fe job with track for fucking partner!
4:05 - Man, how can you say that having just watched BB?
