Thanks, Donna. Always appreciate your BCS reviews. It’s great to follow up an epic episode with an insightful review.

I think Kim wants exactly what Nacho wants: to be in charge of her own destiny and to not have to answer to anyone. She has been at the whim of her bosses and even Jimmy despite how hard she works, and I think she sees owning her own legal aid business as a way to have total agency and control over her life. I also…

Can't belive how many peope are falling for Kim's self-righteous self-serving bullshit.Howard was right about Jimmy and she can't stand that.That is the only reason she wants to ruin him.

I’ve been feeling conflicted about Kim for a while. She’s a very complicated character, which just speaks to both Rhea’s performance and the writing of the show. I think the purpose of her character is something like a foil to Skyler White. Skyler was someone we should have have supported but didn’t, and Kim is…

What was the exact line that Howard left Kim with?

So why exactly couldn’t you have talked more about the Lalo/Nacho scene? This review all you do is talk about Kim’s storyline.

A poor finale. Lalo the super human defeats the 3 stooges of hitmen. Gus would never hire such a weak team. Kim does a 180 and now wants to destroy an innocent Howard who only cared about her well being.

What an amazing show. It really has been the highlight of my time spent in lockdown and Monday nights will no longer be something as anticipated as they have been. I’ve struggled repeatedly to articulate why I think Better Call Saul is a better over show than Breaking Bad but catching myself cheering Lalo Salamanca on…

I find the Kim “going full villain on Howard” plot so boring, and a huge lazy way to explain why she is not in Breaking Bad: of course the plan is going to backfire in her face and the aftermath is going to be the break up between her and Jimmy, the real protagonist of the series.

My new pet theory is that Kim Wexler ends up as “the friend of the cartel.” It’s crazy, but hear me out:

Is there anyone out there that can make a gif of Kim’s double finger guns that I can keep and treasure forever? It’s my favorite thing.

The sound draining out while Lalo stalks away from the carnage with that look of determined rage gave me SO many chills.

The evolution of Kim Wexler’s turn to the darkside is the one Phoebe Waller-Bridge wanted for Eve Polastri on “Killing Eve”, but the ever-changing showrunners on that show haven’t figured out how to carry it off. Proving that a consistent vision as Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have provided, works in a way that…

Three points about his season

That description of Kim as the secret protagonist of the show is spot-on. I think her speech to Howard proves it, and proves that people’s view of her as “the Jesse” of this show is wrong.

My new pet hope, an hour after watching the finale, is that they pull the cross on Howard and get the $2M, but that Kim manages to take Jimmy for it and go to LA to start her pro bono firm.

My standing theory -

On the topic of camera angles, etc, it was subtle and quick, but I thought the overhead shot of Lalo going down into the tunnel was definitely intended to be a callback to the iconic shot of Walter laughing like a madman in the crawlspace.

I did keep expecting for Kim to return to find Jimmy taking off on her “for her own good”. But him being kind of scared of her will be more fun.

“It wasn’t me! It was Ignacio! He’s the one!”

The parallel between last season’s final scene between Jimmy and Kim and this season’s final scene between them is brilliant. Last season the look of dawning horror was that Saul Goodman was not an act, but a deep, vital part of who Jimmy is. And now it’s Jimmy sitting there with dawning horror that Kim has now become…
