    Have a feeling Kim will get really mixed up in Saul's more corrupt side

    She always has been.

    Remember the scams and confidence trickster escapades she enjoyed with Jimmy so much.

    She clearly enjoys that more and is bored by normal corporate work.


    I don't think she really needs Saul to be corrupted.

    I might be reading too much into it, but the way Kevin said to Paige 'You were right this time'.
    Did that imply that Kim previously showed a can do attitude and tried to see if everything was possible?
    Now she is not bothered with it and going through the motions?

    I took this the same way. In the past she would have made it happen... Now, she doesn't care

    They even put in voiceclips from some of the congregation.

    Well done on finding it.

    It's a great Easter Egg.

    "When I had to leave for my Papaw's funeral, Huell watched my cats. He fed them and remembered to give them their medication. Oscar and Felix have sensitive stomachs and needed lots of love. Now every time he visits, they jump right on his lap." - Pauline B."

    Irene mentions her two cats Oscar and Felix, when she wins at bingo in an earlier episode. Haha

    Why are people using annoying spoiler tags?

    Spoilers are in the thread title and surely people won't come here to the 78th page if they have not seen the show?

    Anyhow, really good 8th episode. Had a bit of everything.

    The setup with the letters and the phones was hilarious. The website just cracked me up.

    I put spoilers on Breaking Bad stuff where it gives away stuff as some people have not seen it

    To the Mods I assume that BB is not included in the general spoiler tag?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Mike vouching for the German in that scene with Gus is gonna come back and bite him in the ass.

    The whole team are gone as soon as.

    What were the names on Nachos 2 driving licences? His and his fathers? Fakes obviously?

    I thought this was a better episode than last week, but still a bit draggy. Good to see Nacho back, and I want to see a lot more of his story-line, especially with this new Salamanca family member. I don't think those German lads are long for this world; this could be the event where Mike proves his value to Gus, if he wipes out the whole team of workers rather than taking a chance on them blabbing (no half measures). The Huell story is a big silly; I hope it's over. Also getting sick of Kim; her acting is so robotic! I can't stand to see her and Jimmy in scenes together now, they are so dull (she also reminds me of a cheetah for some reason: I think it's her head!).

    There's a generation and/or people who haven't seen Titanic too. Would you put spoiler tags on posts about the ship sinking at the end?

    I think people should just look after that themselves.

    Kim is the one character I don't 'get' at all. Her motivations change as much as her mood. She's just all over the place and her storyline is just confusing at this stage.

    A good episode in parts (Nacho's and Mike's scenes), and mixed in the rest.


    Some great Nacho scenes, loved the giant artwork in his living room and his house is pretty cool. He's climbing the ladder. Couldn't see where the fake IDs were for but he's planning to run; but the arrival of Eduardo will surely put paid to that now - sadly. He's been great, and under-used in this season after being so prominent in the first few episodes. Eduardo looks like a psychopath from one scene alone - great intro and performance from the actor.



    It was a nice piece of misdirection to get us to focus on Kai and think he'd be the one Mike would have to dispose of; the reality is it's likely to be Werner now, or more likely all of them seeing as you can't dispose of one and not the rest one would assume? Mike's moment of weakness/kindness letting them have some downtime in the strip club will bite him and them in their collective asses.


    Kim is bored with mundane day to day banking law; she needs the excitement of Jimmy's scams and hustles to give her the excitement she craves. It's as simple as that, she's bored. Despite her success at the negotiation and litigation side, I'm not sure she's cut out for the darker elements required to do what Jimmy does (as we learn in BB).



    I found they over-egged the cards/stationery/appeal thing a bit but nice little movie reference from the judge after telling Kim in a much earlier episode the law wasn't like in the movies (I'm paraphrasing, and I'm too tired to look up the exact quote). Between this week and last week's montage there does seem to have been a lot of filler material to make up the run time, or maybe I'm overanalysing here?


    There's just 2 episodes left this season. I'd hope a lot will happen, but given the pace of this season, who knows? It could continue with this pacing. I'm fine either way.

    Zero chemistry between Jimmy and Kim

    In the real world she would ditch him

    If it were me in the real world I'd have dumped her ages ago for the hot and cold nonsense she's been at since the start - one minute she's chastising Jimmy for his slippin and giving him the cold shoulder, the next minute she's all over him and actively encouraging it.

    Once again, the Mike story was the A-plot for me last night with the Jimmy/Kim adventure being drawn out and uninteresting. Admittedly it's been a while since I watched BB, but a whole episode devoted to an elaborate scam to get a minor character off the hook? Yes it was creative for sure, but nothing we haven't seen from Jimmy already.

    I said it last week but it really is starting to feel like the writers are struggling to fill the airtime. Just my 2c though - as I said, I watch this to be entertained and not so much for the artistic nuances.

    I'm sure it's all about how she's morally conflicted and wanting to do the right things but struggling against her true nature, whereas Jimmy has increasingly accepted and embraced who he really is.

    Yin and Yang... Or something.

    I just don't like the character myself and feel she drags the whole thing down.

    Your sounding like the wife. Replace show with relationship

    I must admit this week’s episode was good. It’s good to see more of Jimmy the chancer, that we grew to love in BB. The German workers story line is a bit uninspiring though, but that’s my only issue this week.:-)

    Very surprised how sloppy Werner was in telling some strangers about his building project!

    Also, what the hell are they taking them out to a strip club for ? after all the effort to bus them around in a van, not knowing where they are etc.

    I fear for these German lads, I think it will be the first WTF moment in BCS - on a scale of Hank getting shot in BB.

    Fantastic show though.

    Love all the different stories in it - and the trip to Louisiana at the start ! top TV.

    I think Kim just doesn't know what she wants. She thought she wanted to be a successful corporate lawyer, then she hated that so she thought she wanted to be a public defender, and likes it but when Jimmy gave her the chance at grifting again, she loved the rush of it all and now she wants excitement.

    That's all well and good but she's never really had to deal with what happens when the grift goes wrong which I suspect is happening next

    I've been wondering about people's reaction to this show, I'm wondering if it is to do with the audience. When BB came out first it was a slow burning show, with schemes playing out over a whole series or longer. Watched by a minority of people.

    Many people (especially in Ireland) got onto BB when Netflix picked it up, and the binging of tv shows allowed for the timing of these schemes playing out to happen over a day or week. As BCS episodes are released weekly, the entire audience has that need to delay gratification and let things unfold slowly.

    If you think it's too slow, but do like the show - then you need to let episodes build up and binge on it.

    Odd seeing people's thoughts about this episode. I was one of the people who loved last week's but for some reason this week didn't do much for me. It wasn't bad, just wasn't great.

    I suppose that's what's so great about bcs. It's different for each viewer. I'll be sad when this season is over.

    I just don't like the character. I get that Jimmy does love her but I have never felt it was reciprocated. Their "relationship" has always seemed like more of a convenient friends with benefits thing.

    Tru dat.


    I don't actually fancy her in the show per se. Very plain Jane - which I think is the idea. But there were some Press photos of her at the launch and Jesus Christ she looks stunning. She actually looks like a different woman completely. Further googling after that confirms same......a friend told me. ;)

    FWIW - I binged on the first 3 seasons of BB and then waited until season 4 was done before watching, same with season 5. I haven't done that with BCS and I'm enjoying it just as much.

    Even while binging on BB - you would say it's very slow moving - it's Gilligans pacing of a story more than people being impatient I believe. Ultimately, if a times the show is moving slowly, you just have to trust that it will be worth it.

    In the case of BB - 100% worth it, BCS - we'll see, but so far I think it's a brilliantly put together show.

    Hector, that's a very good interpretation/prediction. The shock factor would be jaw dropping. See what Mike was telling Werner?? No free pass Werner! ok, just one!!

    I thought this was one of the best episodes so far. Son told me that Nacho (or rather the actor) is from Manitoba. I've a bad feeling that Manitoba is not the final destination for poor old Nacho and Dad.

    All drug dealers are scum, why an I empathising with them?????


    Kim kissing Jimmy in the stairwell, ok, its the thrill of the hunt. But, it seems too easy for the writers , to me. On the other hand, the whole Huel thing works for me -its the birth of Saul.

    as a series, 7/10/

    I thought it was assumed people know already - 'Krazy 8' wears his fathers furniture shop Tamplico t-shirt at times as well.
    In a previous episode in BB we saw a shop front that had Krazy 8 when Saul/Jimmy was doing his runners scam with Irene in the shopping mall.
    It was not said that is where Krazy 8 got his name but it just showed the shop front so you could imply it.

    I think that we also could see Walt as a customer of Tamplico in any flash backs, because in the same episode you mention, Walt says he thinks he regcognises Krazy 8 from the shop.
    Walt's baby's cot was brought from Tamplico (It was written on the badge in a close up of the cot).

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
