reminds me of people who voted for trump because he would be good for workers. ...ad the they were laid off from their job

This was such an incredibly bleak season and difficult to watch at many points, but I’m glad they didn’t pull any punches. I’m glad that they’re going all-in on “This is what happens when you throw in with fascism.” The first two seasons of this show aired before Trump, but with the world as it is right now in 2018, a…

Yes, he can’t let go because then he would have to admit to himself not just he is a bad guy (and he built himself on belief that all the bad things he only does are what is necessary) but also that he wasted his life pursuing the wrong things (sunk costs fallacy). It would mean the last 15 years of his life have been…

I think she considers herself above such laws. She’s not only German but also Lebensborn (Himmler’s pet project). Her family is rich and powerful (she calls Goebels uncle) and she works for Propaganda Ministry. She, and her fellow rich Lebensborn, think themselves to be above repercussions for their lifestyle. Too bad…

Jimmy wasn’t giving advise to young Christy Esposito - she was a stand-in to a younger version of Jimmy McGill. I’m racking my brain to think if she turns out to be a minor character in the BB timeline but I can’t think of anyone.

I agree.

“And Kim’s supportive demeanor cracks just slightly. She’s thinking: should I be alarmed?”

I don’t think you got the flashback right. The point was not to show how Chuck kept making everything about himself at the expenses of poor Jimmy. His grabbing the microphone was just Chuck being Chuck, and Jimmy wasn’t especially taken aback by that gesture.

I’ve never seen John Smith as looking for power. Throughout all three seasons he has seemed very reactionary soldier character. He didn’t want to be a Nazi, but was on the losing side of a war with a family and the right ethnic heritage. He didn’t want to become the Reichsmarschal, but Himmler groomed him and Rockwell…

Also, about the rules of travelling by the force of will. It isn’t just not existing in the world you travel to but also connections to people that matter. This is why Trudy couldn’t leave because she and Juliana couldn’t let go of each other. Especially on Juliana’s part and it held her in this world.

On the other side this season was also about what happens to people who lose the hope and just follow the system and the devastating consequences of that. Not just to those around them but also to themselves.

It belongs in the same episode (and show) because both of those scenes show the triumph of GNR. They are on the path to achieving their goals while the Resistance fails. Abendsens are captures and so is Juliana. The attack on the machine fails. The man Juliana though meant they’ll succeed dies and their only way in is…

• “There are so many stars visible in New Mexico. I will walk out there to get a better look.”

I think her look back at the end suggested she did get it.

He did love Chuck and took care of him, more than most family members would. That ended when he felt there was too many knives in his back coming from the razor-sharp (per ISO 9002 Lawful requirements) knife thrower that was Chuck.

We’ve concentrated so much on how Kim is being compromised we barely noticed how the same thing was happening to Mike.

I posted a similar comment a couple years ago, but I think the fact that Jimmy/Saul/Gene winds up in Omaha is because he wanted to be closer to Kim. Early on in Better Call Saul she talks about how she’s from the Kansas-Nebraska border (which according to Google maps could be about 2 hours from Omaha depending on what…

There’s no question. In the hallway, she’s stunned when he calls the panel “assholes”, revealing he’d been faking it.

Perception is an interesting thing. Many shows would have a shocking moment be an act of violence, a sudden death. This show’s most shocking moment this season was that opening. Here, we see in a few delightful moments, a relationship we have never seen before. It was warm, humorous and even a little brotherly. That…

We all knew that Gus was an evil man, one who abides child murder. We all knew that Mike was working for an evil man. We (I) still had some sympathy for Mike but Gillligan and company are ruthless in taking our sympathies and exposing to the cold harsh light of reality. Beneath that veneer, Mike, the man who would…
