I absolutely adore this montage. Its so well shot, edited, and directed. The music is relevant to the character we're introduced to. The camera dollies beautifully around the Jimmy. There are shots within shots. Moments of symmetry interrupted by shaken cam. The editing is great and used to wonderfully sweet comedic effect. It's like a music video that rhymes as we slowly see the charterer grow more and more wery with his day-to-day life. Its so good.
There actually is behind the scenes footage of those shots. They were all improv. They just told Bob to do his Saul thing for a montage and he just came up with a bunch of outlandish cases lol.
As ridiculous as it sounds you wouldn't believe the amount of fires started in buildings because some idiot was cold and though of making a small fire to warm up.
Now that I think of it, this scene is so great. Slice of life, excellent cinematography. I recognized it when I first saw it, but didn't appreciate it until the 2nd viewing
3:04 Oakley accepts the bag of chips as a payment in advance for his attorney service in the last episode, just as Saul accepted a dollar from Walt and Jesse and became their lawyer. Brilliant writing by Vince!
I love how the first season has somewhat of a grey-ish color tone in contrast to the colorful later seasons. That clearly symbolizes how Jimmy tried to be a diligent and well-structured lawyer at first, but as he turned into Saul his methods got more chaotic and immoral, a transformation that the colors of both the locations and clothing represent brilliantly.
Yea its like hes grown more into his own skin in the latter seasons where there is no Chuck reeling him in out of his bad habits as well as no real guilt to himself.
Yea i noticed when he was starting out as a lawyer. he mostly wears gray, brown and boring suits and as the show goes on and the more money he makes he starts wear fresh colorful suits. lol
And the fact Bill Oakley is the only former HHM employee who gets his own succesful lawyer business and his own office without involving with McGill's brothers dramas or Drug Cartel dramas and then he becomes Jimmy's lawyer in finale. Even though Jimmy screwed him up by confessing himself in the courtroom and makes him lose the case in court.
My fave Oakley moment was in S3 when he mocked Jimmy for being arrested in their typical way, then went back to check on him to make sure he was doing okay and offered to move his court date up. That was wholesome.
This is insane! Time really flies. I was still in school back then, and now i'm an adult with responsabilities. And always seems that we don't have enought of this insane series. What a masterpiece!

One of my favourite montages of the show, and it's only from episode 2. BCS excels at these well-directed, edited and shot montages. Plus, the music fits the scene beautifully.
This was Jimmy at his very best. Not financially or according to the American Dream(read:American Lie) version of "successful" but after we know what Jimmy becomes,this, James M. McGill esq. , was Jimmy doing his best.
The fact among all of the lawyers of this show, Bill Oakley is the only one who gets a "good" ending by working as regular lawyer at first only for him to have his own office and not involve with McGill brother's dramas or even Salamancas.
Omg it just hit me after rewatching this scene, especially when I saw him tell his first defendant what to say. “I’m sorry it won’t happen again”, in this whole montage he’s doing what he probably has done for years to get on the good side of his parents, exactly what Chuck said (HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNFROOF), apologizing and making himself look innocent only to keep doing something bad again and again. There’s also a nice parallel with Mike at the toll booth and not letting him “cut corners” with the missing stickers, he’s the only person who didn’t cut him any slack in this scene, like Chuck. Also take a look at that literal “showtime” to the mirror, it’s not just a quote from a movie to him - He’s putting on a show, like he’s always been. Both him and Walt excel at manipulating others, the difference is Jimmy discovered his trait early in his childhood.
There's also another parallel I noticed with a similar montage they have of Kim doing her PD work, with a noticeably more upbeat tone, and it made realize they had showed similar parallels and even had Kim say the theme outright once. Just like with Walt, Jimmy used being good at the bad things he does as an excuse to justify never stopping. But Kim, like Skyler, came in and showed she can do just as well, if not better, without pushing things into an ego-driven conflict that disrupts the flow of everything. With both Jimmy and Walt, even in the spaces where they were experts they still commanded less respect than they thought they deserved at 1st, and had much less of it where they weren't the boss - especially at home with the women in their lives who knew their flaws and just how not special their talents were.
