In this scene, he is far more Saul than Jimmy, but you can still see his original self privately conflicted about the path he's chosen. He even uses the Jimmy persona to try to deny everything, but his pretense is watery and minimal. When he is treated with pity and respect by Howard, though, he becomes irate and transitions into Saul in order to throw a tantrum. He projects wildly, accusing Howard of responsibility in Chuck's death which he knows is false but thinks will still hurt him. He indeed acts unhinged himself after calling Howard this for correctly accusing him of things he did. Having Howard figure him out and not be hurt by him was what got under his skin, since his narrative is all about turning evil in order to deny others power over oneself. Sheep and wolves, etc.
@@brettzforeman I don't really think Saul and Jimmy are different personalities or anything. It feels a little reductive to call it that, if anything Saul is just a façade he uses from time to time to distance his actions from his emotions. Which I recognize isn't actually much of difference but it's a distinction I feel needs to be made. Throughout his con-artist escapades Jimmy just developed extravagant, over the top mannerisms which he applied to create the public persona of Saul. He is still 100% Jimmy, he has just changed over time. This scene to me is just Jimmy lashing out due to being annoyed by Howard's empathy, which he interpreted as the same distain that had plagued him for years. He also wants to convince himself that he is progressing and is more than the Jimmy that Howard knew in season 1, when in actuality I think he was worried that he was in over his head and was disturbed by the morality of his dealings with Lalo. As over the top as this monologue is, it's pretty great how it brings together all the building elements of Jimmy's character into one big cathartic rant to really showcase his insecurity just before the climax of the season. It feels like in addition to just trying to rattle Howard newfound composure, he is also trying to lie to himself and speak these things into existence, since basically everything he said is something he wished was true at that point.

"Jimmy I'm sorry you're in pain." What I find incredible is that sounds exactly like something Chuck would say. The only difference is that Howard is coming from a genuine place. But Jimmy can't tell the difference which is why he immediately implodes, assuming Howard is looking down on him just like Chuck. At this point, him taking a job from Howard would be like going back to the mailroom. So he lashes out.
In a way he's projecting all of his insecurities related to Chuck onto Howard. Same with how he makes multiple references about saving people from a fire during his scams with Kim and referring to the name McGill as "burnt" when he's explaining why he changed his name. It's quite tragic to see really.
@@sekijokes451 I really hope address his grief about Chuck by the end. It feels like jimmy's PTSD about the desert eclipsed any grief he felt towards Chuck death. Which is understandable, but we spent like half the show with this character and now it feels like he's been forgotten.
@@grey-spark I don't think he's been forgotten. If anything Chuck's death and Jimmy's unresolved issues with him permeate throughout the series. It's part of why he distances himself from the name McGill and why he went down the road of embracing his Saul persona. All to spite Chuck's rejection of him and to show that his way is "better" by comparison.
@@sekijokes451 I'm curious, which scenes does he mention saving people from fires? Be specific if you can. I never caught those fire and burnt references, but that's a really nice touch I'd like to see myself.
@@darrenringer9811 Stop it with this "Kim made him do it" nonsense. It was Kim's idea but it was Jimmy's choice to go along with it. Yeah she was a bit pushy, but she didn't spend a lot of time convincing him did she, and + Jimmy didn't put a lot of effort in changing her mind either. We can see in this scene that Jimmy also had contempt towards Howard so it makes sense he'd eventually go along with it, not to mention that Jimmy can't refuse the thrill of a con. During the entire con afterwards I don't think Jimmy ever had second thoughts or told Kim something like it's a bad idea (though I'm not sure about this particularly, correct me if I'm wrong). In the first or second episode of the season when he was planting the fake cocaine, Kim told him to abort the mission but Jimmy's love of conning got the best of him so he continued. They were making out to the sound of Howard's career getting ruined. Any normal person would refuse to make out during something like that, but we know Jimmy enjoyed it as well. Idk why all of a sudden the narrative shifted to "Kim manipulated Saul into conning a man", when we all know who Saul is, how much he loves conning people. I mean obviously Kim is the main culprit because she did get the idea and proposing a huge con to a con-man is like dangling a shiny object infront of a cat, but Jimmy is far from an innocent victim who has been manipulated into all of this. I lost my hope to Kim as a person this season but her character got even more interesting than it already was in exchange. It's up to the final six episodes to see if she can be redeemed in some way.
@@tigrispanthera5496it’s funny cause in the very next episode in the first scene which makes it the next scene in the show we see, Lalo calls Jimmy a nobody.
At 2:16 starts one of the most iconic camera shots of the whole series. The movement, the composition, the acting, the whole cinematography is just perfect
I might be reaching but even at 2:34 the blue Saul is wearing expands into that space around him but is still boxed in like delusions of him thinking he’s bigger than he is/acting that way. Also people still around the space like it still affects others. Fun thought at least
I think the saddest part about this is I can easily see a friendship develop between these two if Jimmy wasn't so resentful of the past. Howard actually has respect for Jimmy and knows Jimmy is a great lawyer that's why I think that was the biggest reason Howard offered Jimmy a job at HHM not just out of pity for what happened with Chuck but because he knows Jimmy would be a great asset to the firm.
I totally see what you mean. There's a whole parallel universe where the characters make decisions based on healing and forgiveness, hope. This is the other universe.
Like Jimmy said, Howard is more of a salesman than Lawyer. So it make sense Howard sees qualities in Jimmy that he appreciates: very quick-witted, great showmanship, and his overall con-man energy. The same qualities Chuck would view as bad/immature for a lawyer.
No. It wouldn't work because Jimmy is self loathing and hates anyone remotely successful and upright. Howard is consistently the nicest and most well meaning person in the show and Jimmy generally isnt. On rare occasions Jimmy can be, but at the end of the day he is too resentful of successful people that he will make an enemy out of everyone sooner or later.
The growth of Howard being the 'slimy two-faced lawyer' to one of the most morally respectable characters in the cast is one of the MANY highlights that proves Better Call Saul is a classic piece of storytelling.
I don't think he's ever been two faced, to the contrary. He was loyal to Chuck, he kept Jimmy and Kim close, he even demoted Kim instead of firing her (which among lawyers can be a career killer) and kept Chuck's secret to make sure the brothers don't argue about Jimmy NOT becoming a partner at HHM, he vouched for Jimmy to work at the other law firm. He's done everything right and tried to act professional when everyone else was goofing around.
@@mac1991seth He's definitely been two-faced, but it wasn't because he was a malicious man. It was because his back was forced against the wall. He's definitely made a lot of mistakes, but I think he's paid for all of them (having to personally pay off Chuck by taking out loans, losing Chuck and the guilt that came with that, etc.) and doesn't deserve to have anything else happen to him.
Hamlin, form the very beginning, was probably the most reasonable person in the show. He was just unlucky enough to get involved with the McGill brothers.
I love this scene so much. Sometimes you wanna be like jimmy and tell someone off, but at the end of the day howard was the mature one, he walked away from a convo in which it was obvious it was one sided.
This scene was phenomenal. He got to the point where he’s proud to work with the Salamanca’s. It makes him feel powerful, and if he could, he’d rub it in Howard’s face. Phenomenal tv right here
@@mazvitaselemani Completely agree. Jimmy’s just projecting the guilt and self-loathing he has from helping Lalo. You can see how broken and ashamed he is when he looks at the grieving family.
@danielnidhiry5796 Two people who essentially knew that they could die because of their illegal activities? Pure? Rip Howard Hamlin 🙏🏽. Never say that crap again you cuck
I genuinely feel bad for Howard at this point in the show. Yeah he was definitely an ass to Jimmy and Kim in the beginning, but later he kept trying to actually right his wrongs, basically getting slapped in the face almost every time.
Sometimes when someone has treated you so poorly you don’t want anything to do with them. Howard is doing this to make himself feel better, it’s not for Jimmy. Jimmy accomplished what he has, not with Howard’s help, but by his own intelligence and work, and now to be belittled by the guy who has screwed him by inviting him to a job so Howard can try to make amends so he can stop feeling so guilty about his decisions? Howard deserved this and more. I know there are people who have contacted me long after they screwed me over trying to make amends after I became more successful in life and I’ve told them basically the same thing here, minus shooting lighting from my fingertips. Forgiveness is reserved for people who have had some positive influence in your life, not for people who have made things more difficult for you.
@@Alexander_Grant alright fine. I'm willing to say that Howard doesn't deserve forgiveness. But at the same time, Howard doesn't deserve to be publicly harassed, professionally humiliated, or have his private property vandalized. I used to defend Saul, respect him. Now I'm happy karma punched him in the face.
It always makes me sad seeing how much Howard tries to right his wrongs and help Jimmy because he genuinely believes in him, but jimmy can’t get over the past and just hurts him at any chance he gets. Also Jimmy still can’t accept that his brothers death was almost entirely his fault for what he did to him, and instead blames Howard since he gave him an out when he felt responsible.
I dont think its jimmys fault cause because all the things he did , he did it to show Chuck that he is worthy too. Only chuck and his mentality is responsible for his death
This was the first thing that came to my mind, after I watched this. Before I came to the comment section. Is it possible we are all connection in some matrix outside the internet? I think so. We all seem to share the same thoughts, before we know others have thought the very same thing due to how our culture is set up. Interesting. (I shouldn't smoke strong weed and get into comment sections on the internet)
1:38 Howard is often overshadowed by the unbelievably heavy hitting characters like Mike and Jimmy and Kim, but honestly Patrick Fabian’s acting through Howard’s character arc is nothing short of Emmy worthy itself. The same guy who was agonizing in the court restroom over his insomnia and guilt last season tells Jimmy he’s sorry he’s in pain, and I sure as hell believe he means it.
I keep coming back to it after jokingly quoting it to my friends, and I always forget that within the context of the show it's probably one of the most powerful character interactions we get to see.
It would have been great if he inexplicably started shooting lightning from his fingertips and turning people and things into piles of dust and then the show never mentions it or explains what happened ever again. Just one glimpse of Jimmy's supernatural god tier power that throws this show a hard curve all into epic fantasy realms but then curves right back to reality.
They should have had it as a blooper. Then, 30 years after the fact, when they are putting together a remastered version with all the actors deaged to look canonically appropriate, a sneaky editor adds the lightning hands into the final product.
Yes. See the people Jimmy is looking at, at the beginning ? they are *Fred Wahlen* family. The young guy Lalo bludgeoned to death at Travel Wire before burning the place - and body. That scene is just after Jimmy got Lalo out of jail, with that $7 million bail. And this mean that, at this very moment, *Howard and Lalo were both under the same roof* - at the *Courthouse- . Although they didn't *met* - but Jimmy met both that afternoon, separately. A moment before that scene Jimmy was with Lalo, and got him bailed out of jail (Bagman is coming soon). Next time Lalo and Howard will be under the same roof will be at Kim's appartement... and we all know how that ended. Every time I watch this scene, I can't help thinking that, with Jimmy having just bailed Lalo out of jail, Howard is kind of walking toward his death. He is doomed, and he even doesn't knows it.
The last 20 seconds we get of Bob starting at 2:40 is everything. Notice how he's this raging, colorful egomaniac, and then he quickly and smoothly transitions to the sad, hollowed out shell of Jimmy McGill that we've become familiar with. Bravo.
All jokes aside, Howard's face as he's walking away really has that look like "Okay, man, I tried being nice and I've extended the olive branch, so I'm not gonna try anymore with you" WHY IS THE BB UNIVERSE SO WONDERFULLY ACTED?!!
@@hairbruh4915 all of those characters are like young adults (except for maybe the music shop guys), so the fact that their actors are able to perform and pull off that highschool vibe is what i think makes them great actors!

More than anything, I think Jimmy resents that Howard has been able to undergo personal growth. If anything, Jimmy’s been decaying since the first episode
@@nonstop7255 It doesn’t have to do with the job offer. I mean personal growth as in howard went to therapy, confronted his feelings, and now feels better about himself. That’s what Jimmy resents. Jimmy saw how rough howard was last season and it made him feel better by comparison. Now Howard has overcome his grief and depression and HHM is doing well. Basically, Jimmy hasn’t been able to confront his grief over chuck’s death but howard has, and Jimmy unknowingly resents that about howard
@@cristienache739 This has been true of Howard since season 1, but Jimmy wasn't this hostile towards Howard in the earlier seasons. So I wouldn't say his outbreak in this scene is just because of that.
@@nonstop7255 no..... he wants to make amends for his past treatment of Jimmy on Chucks orders..... he genuinely respects Jimmy and wants his skills and expertise at HHM! Howard has no idea that Jimmy is also responsible for Chucks death....... he blamed himself fully for Chucks relapse and death!
I love that just after he proceeds to shout his delusional visions of his self-grandeur, he fades away into the blurry crowd, revealed to be the same as everybody else. Marvelous film-making.
I used to hate Howard while watching the show but now that I think about it I feel kinda bad for him, he’s probably the nicest and most wholesome person in the show
@@Jonathanizer The lawyers in this show are the most ethical people, excluding Kim and the McGill brothers. Howard, Cliff Main, Rich Schweikart, all good people. Some of the only good people by the end
@@orinebay510all the dialogue works till the end of the clip. Everything past 2:19. Its beautiful. In my head the "girlfriend" starts to explain the massive dicks she can take
Jimmy didn't care about Chuck at all at this moment and he definitely didn't believe that Howard had caused his death. He said, "You kill my brother and you say you're sorry", he ONLY wanted to hurt Howard, used his remorse against him. Sadistic move. Followed by the rant, boasting about being associated with Salamanca type clients, Jimmy is already deep in the dark side. Character Development on this show is beyond great 💯🔥
@@REDEEMERWOLF I love Jimmy too. Sweet kind guy, doesn't mean to hurt anyone, but fools around, cuts corners, tries to be better, loves his people, works hard and smart. I think he just might be my favorite fictional character. He's so relatable. ❤️
2:40 after his rant you can see that he takes a breather and contemplates what he's gotten himself into. He actually regains a bit of his humanity back and realizes he went a bit too far in humiliating and criticizing Howard. He also thanks about Lalo, the type of client he just bragged to Howard about representing, and how that will result in him permanently getting his hands dirty and hurting innocent people.
@@alyxbabineaux2412 Howard wasn't a villain in the first episodes. He was just very conservative and concerned about the image of his firm. Also loyal to a fault to his partner Chuck against Jimmy.
0:08 brilliantly shot, this single frame foreshadows Jimmy's transition into his alter ego Saul goodman, a reflection of Jimmy's own darker materials. Bravo Vince!
Not really. Don't get me wrong, i love the show and much of it is done brilliant, but not this. The half-face-in-mirror thing for complex characters to show how they are torn or have a dark side, or how they hate part of themselves or whatever is done so many times in other movies and tv shows, copying this is among the most uninspired scenes of the show.
What I like about Jimmy is that he’s the only protagonist in the BB universe that just owns the fact that he loves the criminal life. Walter said he only did it for his family, Mike told himself he only did it for his granddaughter, Gustavo for justice against Hector and Eladio. but Jimmy never lied to himself, yet he still seems like the most genuinely virtuous of them all.
I think that’s because he still seems less comfortable with it than Walt did. His ambitions take him into that world, but you can tell there’s a part of him that is scared and uneasy about it. Jimmy doesn’t really *like* his other half even though he enjoys the antics, whereas Walter liked and enjoyed his other half so much, he had no problems letting it consume him and his entire family.
@@keithklassen5320 compared to Walt, Mike, and Gus absolutely. Everything he did for Chuck during his hypersensitivity phase, completely destroying his reputation at the old folks home just to make that one Lady happy again. He’s not a killer like the others, just a selfish conman. Not saying his actions are excusable, but he’s better at realizing when he takes it too far.
I love how when jimmy creeps into the frame he’s made to look like a two face monster with his reflection. Beautiful. This show has so many face splitting jimmy shots
I always loved how a professional Howard was, he never lost his cool in a confrontation, not with anyone, not with Jimmy, even at his worst. He was always going the right way and sadly, that got him killed too.
I felt so bad for Howard in the later seasons. He was portrayed as the original villain, but he was just doing a selfless deed to cover for Chuck. Did he really do anything wrong? Yet Jimmy/Kim plotted to destroy him, and his wife treated him like garbage. POOR HOWARD!
Last three interactions Jimmy has with Howard: 1. Shouts him out of the courthouse in dominance. 2. Accepts and then loses to him in a boxing match. 3. Watching him die in Kim’s apartment.
I wonder if Jimmy freaked out because the stress and guilt of letting Lalo go free eating away at him, but also Howard coming up and telling him he's in denial of his pain and knowing he's right made him snap.
Not really. It could be just an antagonistic faux empathy line. What wins him the argument is the fact, that Jimmy blows up. He could have played it different, but lost his cool.
@@dan_hitchman007 That actually might be very true. You can see Jimmy transform into Saul as a way to cope with his brother's hate and passing and leave that part of his life behind but once he had to escape in BB and live in hiding and no longer be Saul, you can see him to be just a broken shell of his former self. I'm really looking forward to seeing the last season and to know what becomes of all the characters... Jimmy, Kim, Howard, Nacho... Basically everyone's story is opened and we can only guess what's gonna happen.
I really hope Howard gets some kind of vindication in the final season. Jimmy has become Saul, obviously. Kim is breaking bad. Chuck is ... dead. But Howard has done nothing malicious. And that deserves some kind of pay-off.
I think you're in for some hard times then. If Kimmy has her way Howard is going to suffer terribly in the final season, and the blowback could be brutal.
Howard was represents the morality of all the characters. He’s the heart of the show. As all the other characters go down a dark path, it is Howard that tried becoming a better person by embraces his flaws. His death signifies the light going out for all the characters as they’re now in a place of no return.
it’s crazy that he has the power to control electricity throughout the entire series but only ever uses it to annoy his brother

He's waiting for you to accept Him and come to Him with open arms in a genuine personal relationship and there's no other love ever like His since He loves you eternally and infinitely so believe in the FATHER YHWH JEHOVAH and the SON whom He sent, The LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST YESHUA HAMASHIACH, and receive The HOLY SPIRIT The Spirit Of JEHOVAH that will dwell in you, change you, lead you, guide you, and be your absolute best friend as GOD the HOLY SPIRIT just alongside The FATHER YHWH and CHRIST JESUS the Son Of GOD, GOD incarnate, which those 3 together make the HOLY TRINITY; GOD THE FATHER YHWH JEHOVAH, GOD THE SON CHRIST JESUS YESHUA HAMASHIACH, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, the one and only true GOD. I love you but nowhere near as much as GOD. Repent by believing in the LORD GOD KING JESUS CHRIST and thou shalt be saved, and once you tell JESUS that you believe in Him and genuinely trust in Him by inviting Him into your heart, you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption and you cannot lose your salvation in CHRIST JESUS and He will help you live for Him with His HOLY SPIRIT Amen, the Rapture is the Day of Redemption also which is so extremely very soon and He does not want you or anybody to be left behind nor me nor you do. GOD bless you and KING JESUS CHRIST IS LORD GOD. ✝️👑🦁🕍💒🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🔥💞💯💖

Hey, how do you get to change your font size like that on RUclips?
"Jimmy I'm sorry you're in pain."
What I find incredible is that sounds exactly like something Chuck would say. The only difference is that Howard is coming from a genuine place. But Jimmy can't tell the difference which is why he immediately implodes, assuming Howard is looking down on him just like Chuck. At this point, him taking a job from Howard would be like going back to the mailroom. So he lashes out.
In a way he's projecting all of his insecurities related to Chuck onto Howard.
Same with how he makes multiple references about saving people from a fire during his scams with Kim and referring to the name McGill as "burnt" when he's explaining why he changed his name.
It's quite tragic to see really.
@@sekijokes451 I really hope address his grief about Chuck by the end. It feels like jimmy's PTSD about the desert eclipsed any grief he felt towards Chuck death. Which is understandable, but we spent like half the show with this character and now it feels like he's been forgotten.
@@grey-spark I don't think he's been forgotten.
If anything Chuck's death and Jimmy's unresolved issues with him permeate throughout the series.
It's part of why he distances himself from the name McGill and why he went down the road of embracing his Saul persona.
All to spite Chuck's rejection of him and to show that his way is "better" by comparison.
@@sekijokes451 I'm curious, which scenes does he mention saving people from fires? Be specific if you can. I never caught those fire and burnt references, but that's a really nice touch I'd like to see myself.

And Jimmy's choice to do this ultimately costs a man who did nothing but try to help Jimmy his life
Trying to help people who absolutely don't want any help is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. It almost never ends well.
He seemed to me like he didn't want to do it at all, but Kim made it clear she wouldn't respect him if he turned it down so he did it anyway.
@@darrenringer9811 Stop it with this "Kim made him do it" nonsense. It was Kim's idea but it was Jimmy's choice to go along with it. Yeah she was a bit pushy, but she didn't spend a lot of time convincing him did she, and + Jimmy didn't put a lot of effort in changing her mind either. We can see in this scene that Jimmy also had contempt towards Howard so it makes sense he'd eventually go along with it, not to mention that Jimmy can't refuse the thrill of a con.
During the entire con afterwards I don't think Jimmy ever had second thoughts or told Kim something like it's a bad idea (though I'm not sure about this particularly, correct me if I'm wrong).
In the first or second episode of the season when he was planting the fake cocaine, Kim told him to abort the mission but Jimmy's love of conning got the best of him so he continued.
They were making out to the sound of Howard's career getting ruined. Any normal person would refuse to make out during something like that, but we know Jimmy enjoyed it as well.
Idk why all of a sudden the narrative shifted to "Kim manipulated Saul into conning a man", when we all know who Saul is, how much he loves conning people.
I mean obviously Kim is the main culprit because she did get the idea and proposing a huge con to a con-man is like dangling a shiny object infront of a cat, but Jimmy is far from an innocent victim who has been manipulated into all of this.
I lost my hope to Kim as a person this season but her character got even more interesting than it already was in exchange. It's up to the final six episodes to see if she can be redeemed in some way.
Howard sided with chuck over jimmy at every turn. To say all he ever did was try to help is rubbish.

@@ianroscablu You really stop scrolling to write such an ignorant comment?
@@PatoNani18 If you look in the dictionary for "irony," you'll find a mirror.
I might be reaching but even at 2:34 the blue Saul is wearing expands into that space around him but is still boxed in like delusions of him thinking he’s bigger than he is/acting that way. Also people still around the space like it still affects others. Fun thought at least
I have definitely seen better tracking shots but I think the one of the reflection earlier in this scene is a far smarter and more creative one
I think the saddest part about this is I can easily see a friendship develop between these two if Jimmy wasn't so resentful of the past. Howard actually has respect for Jimmy and knows Jimmy is a great lawyer that's why I think that was the biggest reason Howard offered Jimmy a job at HHM not just out of pity for what happened with Chuck but because he knows Jimmy would be a great asset to the firm.
I totally see what you mean. There's a whole parallel universe where the characters make decisions based on healing and forgiveness, hope. This is the other universe.
I’m not sure Howard respected him, rather, understood him
Like Jimmy said, Howard is more of a salesman than Lawyer. So it make sense Howard sees qualities in Jimmy that he appreciates: very quick-witted, great showmanship, and his overall con-man energy. The same qualities Chuck would view as bad/immature for a lawyer.
@@guitarninja416 chuck is just a dick to Jimmy he never wanted to see him succeed as a lawyer
No. It wouldn't work because Jimmy is self loathing and hates anyone remotely successful and upright. Howard is consistently the nicest and most well meaning person in the show and Jimmy generally isnt. On rare occasions Jimmy can be, but at the end of the day he is too resentful of successful people that he will make an enemy out of everyone sooner or later.
The growth of Howard being the 'slimy two-faced lawyer' to one of the most morally respectable characters in the cast is one of the MANY highlights that proves Better Call Saul is a classic piece of storytelling.
I don't think he's ever been two faced, to the contrary. He was loyal to Chuck, he kept Jimmy and Kim close, he even demoted Kim instead of firing her (which among lawyers can be a career killer) and kept Chuck's secret to make sure the brothers don't argue about Jimmy NOT becoming a partner at HHM, he vouched for Jimmy to work at the other law firm. He's done everything right and tried to act professional when everyone else was goofing around.
@@mac1991seth He's definitely been two-faced, but it wasn't because he was a malicious man. It was because his back was forced against the wall. He's definitely made a lot of mistakes, but I think he's paid for all of them (having to personally pay off Chuck by taking out loans, losing Chuck and the guilt that came with that, etc.) and doesn't deserve to have anything else happen to him.
Hamlin, form the very beginning, was probably the most reasonable person in the show. He was just unlucky enough to get involved with the McGill brothers.
I feel like he has always been one of the better people in the series even when early on the story writing framed him as a generic high class douche.
Your comment is making me realize Howard is the Skyler of this show.
I love this scene so much. Sometimes you wanna be like jimmy and tell someone off, but at the end of the day howard was the mature one, he walked away from a convo in which it was obvious it was one sided.

I genuinely feel bad for Howard at this point in the show. Yeah he was definitely an ass to Jimmy and Kim in the beginning, but later he kept trying to actually right his wrongs, basically getting slapped in the face almost every time.
That's exactly how I feel lol
Sometimes when someone has treated you so poorly you don’t want anything to do with them. Howard is doing this to make himself feel better, it’s not for Jimmy. Jimmy accomplished what he has, not with Howard’s help, but by his own intelligence and work, and now to be belittled by the guy who has screwed him by inviting him to a job so Howard can try to make amends so he can stop feeling so guilty about his decisions? Howard deserved this and more. I know there are people who have contacted me long after they screwed me over trying to make amends after I became more successful in life and I’ve told them basically the same thing here, minus shooting lighting from my fingertips. Forgiveness is reserved for people who have had some positive influence in your life, not for people who have made things more difficult for you.
@@Alexander_Grant I mean, you can forgive people and still not let them back into your life

1:38 Howard is often overshadowed by the unbelievably heavy hitting characters like Mike and Jimmy and Kim, but honestly Patrick Fabian’s acting through Howard’s character arc is nothing short of Emmy worthy itself.

His subtle facial movements as he walks away is honestly as impressive as anything else in the show.

Why this one and not when the job was first offered? Or when Jimmy first started harassing Howard?
Yes. See the people Jimmy is looking at, at the beginning ? they are *Fred Wahlen* family. The young guy Lalo bludgeoned to death at Travel Wire before burning the place - and body. That scene is just after Jimmy got Lalo out of jail, with that $7 million bail. And this mean that, at this very moment, *Howard and Lalo were both under the same roof* - at the *Courthouse- . Although they didn't *met* - but Jimmy met both that afternoon, separately. A moment before that scene Jimmy was with Lalo, and got him bailed out of jail (Bagman is coming soon). Next time Lalo and Howard will be under the same roof will be at Kim's appartement... and we all know how that ended.
Every time I watch this scene, I can't help thinking that, with Jimmy having just bailed Lalo out of jail, Howard is kind of walking toward his death. He is doomed, and he even doesn't knows it.

@@REDEEMERWOLF I love Jimmy too. Sweet kind guy, doesn't mean to hurt anyone, but fools around, cuts corners, tries to be better, loves his people, works hard and smart. I think he just might be my favorite fictional character. He's so relatable. ❤️
2:40 after his rant you can see that he takes a breather and contemplates what he's gotten himself into. He actually regains a bit of his humanity back and realizes he went a bit too far in humiliating and criticizing Howard. He also thanks about Lalo, the type of client he just bragged to Howard about representing, and how that will result in him permanently getting his hands dirty and hurting innocent people.
@@alyxbabineaux2412 Howard wasn't a villain in the first episodes. He was just very conservative and concerned about the image of his firm. Also loyal to a fault to his partner Chuck against Jimmy.
man I feel bad for Howard. He didn't deserve that at all. I honestly teared up when he walked away like that.
I have sad news 😥
@@seka_scarletV I already know 😞

@@seka_scarletV the scene where Howard killed Lalo was so heartbreaking
now kiss
0:08 brilliantly shot, this single frame foreshadows Jimmy's transition into his alter ego Saul goodman, a reflection of Jimmy's own darker materials. Bravo Vince!
Not really. Don't get me wrong, i love the show and much of it is done brilliant, but not this. The half-face-in-mirror thing for complex characters to show how they are torn or have a dark side, or how they hate part of themselves or whatever is done so many times in other movies and tv shows, copying this is among the most uninspired scenes of the show.
@@Jonathanizer mf it's a joke jesus
What I like about Jimmy is that he’s the only protagonist in the BB universe that just owns the fact that he loves the criminal life. Walter said he only did it for his family, Mike told himself he only did it for his granddaughter, Gustavo for justice against Hector and Eladio. but Jimmy never lied to himself, yet he still seems like the most genuinely virtuous of them all.
I think that’s because he still seems less comfortable with it than Walt did. His ambitions take him into that world, but you can tell there’s a part of him that is scared and uneasy about it. Jimmy doesn’t really *like* his other half even though he enjoys the antics, whereas Walter liked and enjoyed his other half so much, he had no problems letting it consume him and his entire family.
Walter eventually admitted it before he died "I did it for me, I like it, I was good at it"
Virtuous, or likeable? He's certainly charming, but virtuous?
@@keithklassen5320 compared to Walt, Mike, and Gus absolutely. Everything he did for Chuck during his hypersensitivity phase, completely destroying his reputation at the old folks home just to make that one Lady happy again. He’s not a killer like the others, just a selfish conman. Not saying his actions are excusable, but he’s better at realizing when he takes it too far.
Walter literally does it for himself.
I love how when jimmy creeps into the frame he’s made to look like a two face monster with his reflection. Beautiful. This show has so many face splitting jimmy shots
That first shot of Jimmy's mirror face is the greatest piece of cinema ever created

Hey Van, when you coming to Forget-Me-Not Valley?
I always loved how a professional Howard was, he never lost his cool in a confrontation, not with anyone, not with Jimmy, even at his worst. He was always going the right way and sadly, that got him killed too.
Easily Saul's most prolific "I am the danger" moment

Thank you for leaving in that incredible piece of cinematography at 0:06.
I felt so bad for Howard in the later seasons. He was portrayed as the original villain, but he was just doing a selfless deed to cover for Chuck. Did he really do anything wrong? Yet Jimmy/Kim plotted to destroy him, and his wife treated him like garbage. POOR HOWARD!
Last three interactions Jimmy has with Howard:
1. Shouts him out of the courthouse in dominance.
2. Accepts and then loses to him in a boxing match.
3. Watching him die in Kim’s apartment.
he got his mind blown
Howard deserved better 😭
"Hey."

@@zacflame1 idk if that counts since howard didn't know it was jimmy lol
What dominance? He embarrassed himself, completely failing in his attempt to guilt-trip him again.

Bro.
You can see how much glee he has inside when he pretends to blame Howard for Chuck's death. He doesn't even believe that story himself.
I love how Howard always walks away like he's both angry and sad at the same time
0:16 Fuckin love that shot lol
Looks like a Shitpost
Yes, it shows the audience Jimmy McGill is being consumed by Saul Goodman.
Imagine overhearing this from the lawyer who just blatantly lied to free your son's killer
Yikes
I wonder if Jimmy freaked out because the stress and guilt of letting Lalo go free eating away at him, but also Howard coming up and telling him he's in denial of his pain and knowing he's right made him snap.
That moment when Howard realized that lightning bolt actually shot from Lalo’s fingertip.
Too soon😂😂
Lalo? Who's Lalo?
'Jimmy, I'm sorry you're in pain' was when Howard won the argument
Not really. It could be just an antagonistic faux empathy line. What wins him the argument is the fact, that Jimmy blows up. He could have played it different, but lost his cool.

The fact that they made Saul’s character to be way deeper than Walter White...
The tears of a clown.
@@dan_hitchman007 ?
@@kotorandcorvid4968 That's an old saying. Saul is like a clown, hiding Jimmy McGill's sadness inside. The jokester is just a facade.
@@dan_hitchman007 That actually might be very true. You can see Jimmy transform into Saul as a way to cope with his brother's hate and passing and leave that part of his life behind but once he had to escape in BB and live in hiding and no longer be Saul, you can see him to be just a broken shell of his former self. I'm really looking forward to seeing the last season and to know what becomes of all the characters... Jimmy, Kim, Howard, Nacho... Basically everyone's story is opened and we can only guess what's gonna happen.
Yeah, the more I watch and absorb BCS the less I like BB lol
"You sound unhinged" proceeds to shout and jump like a maniac
this scene hits differently than the first time I saw it. Those who know, will know. Masterful writing.
I really hope Howard gets some kind of vindication in the final season. Jimmy has become Saul, obviously. Kim is breaking bad. Chuck is ... dead. But Howard has done nothing malicious. And that deserves some kind of pay-off.
I think you're in for some hard times then. If Kimmy has her way Howard is going to suffer terribly in the final season, and the blowback could be brutal.
@@dielaughing73 I never thought I'd say this. But after the end of the last season I want Kim to fail.
@@byronsenior6499 same here my friend..... she’s a terrible person and I hope she learns a hard lesson for following Jimmy to the dark side.
I don't think Howard is going to get off lightly, he'll probably be one of the few to be caught in the crossfire and have bad shit thrown at him.
@@carson11100 Yup.
Howard was represents the morality of all the characters. He’s the heart of the show. As all the other characters go down a dark path, it is Howard that tried becoming a better person by embraces his flaws. His death signifies the light going out for all the characters as they’re now in a place of no return.
Well, I guess that offer’s off the table now for good.
Nah Howard will find an ouija board or something
The electricity Chuck grew sick from.
