I know this was sort of an unpopular opinion here but I was shipping the hell out of them from the word go, so fuck it, go get her Jack!

The Dean Martin song at the end made me grin so much.
The collective pseudonym of Carolyn Keene joke cracked me up.
Whoever pissed in your cornflakes, it wasn't me.
I think he probably respects how hard Jimmy works but finds the man himself contemptible. One of the reasons, I think, is that he realizes Jimmy isn't actually that different from him and he HATES that.
I probably went too far in condemning the whole city, but in "Ozymandias" I still see a very biblical sort of reckoning, where the innocent are destroyed with the wicked but as a part of their judgment from…call it God, call it simply the universe if you'd like, but there you go.
True, the cold open went a little long, but I thought it got good fairly quickly, and even then we're not watching Mike carefully unscrew and rescrew a tracker for five minutes while we all gush at the cinematic majesty of Johnathan Banks' unchanging facial expression.
In theory I agree with you, but I will say this:
Hank was always an excellent DEA agent.
To expand on my point: This theme is basically confirmed in "Ozymandias". The show clearly doesn't want you to think Hank deserves to die or anything like that. But Hank is killed. He's caught in the crossfire of a war that Walter thought he could control.
See, I don't see that as a criticism of "Breaking Bad". It's commentary on the storytelling: You can't do all the horrible things that people like Walt, Gus, the Salamancas, even Saul do without consequences that you don't intend and that aren't deserved.
I'm thinking of the one episode where he has Jimmy represent him, but he does the absolute minimum to help his own case because he just hates the shit that people like Jimmy pull. and hates that he needs to be a part of it now too.
You know Mike just hates Jimmy.
"The Big Bang Theory", of all shows, did a really great thing with that. Raj was dating some deaf chick and they learn she's basically wringing him out of all of this money.
General comment on the Gilliganverse of shows:
I can't see what Kim would do that Jimmy wouldn't be as or more guilty of.
That would be ballsy, but I can't see her going and not Jimmy. For Jimmy to let her take some sort of fall would mean she'd have to betray him somehow before then, and I just don't see that happening.
Indeed they do.
Guys, you just *know* Gus is somehow going to cause Hector's stroke.
BTW, was Hay some sort of douche or what? I don't see any remorse here? Seriously?
