Better Caul Saul Season 5 - Possible Spoilers

nova — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 21:51:35 GMT

I have enjoyed the continuing drama & especially liked seeing Hank & Steve Gomez back last week in all their bravado - (before all the tragedy on Breaking Bad). I am just so curious to see how Vince Gilligan will eventually resolve what happens to Kim! Even though she does not always like Jimmy (Saul's) schemes she clearly has a slightly shady side of herself that surfaces once in a while too. I think she is beginning to resent him because she knows deep-down he brings this unflattering part of her personality up to the surface.

Do you remember when she was in that car crash?

I thought that was going to be her exit but no, she recovered.

I'm curious about Kim as well, I like her but I know her story.

@software Yes that car crash was so traumatic to her character! It's sad to say but anyway I analyze things nothing good is in the future for Saul & Kim. She is NEVER mentioned in Breaking Bad - nor is it even intimated Saul is in a relationship. I don't think we will know until it plays out the next & final season of the show. Sad isn't it? His character really seems to love her.

We know from this season's first episode that Kim isn't with Saul/Jimmy when they relocate him. That doesn't tell us how they break up or even if they actually did before the relocation, but she wasn't with him at that time.

I hope she's with him until the show ends though. She's the only redeeming character on the show. I like her. She's my favorite.

"She is NEVER mentioned in Breaking Bad"

You are correct. I assumed she died by the time the "Breaking Bad" years came along.

By then, "Saul" was a well established ~~money washer~~ lawyer.

Very insightful, hadn't thought of that before! She's a great character and the actress does a great job. The entire series is just so well done, I will surely hate to see it end.

Fans of The Walking Dead, did you recognize "Simon" as the investigator?

Actor Stephen Ogg

Whatever will become of Mike?

Had to look up "button man". Never heard of it

@software Mike went on to Breaking Bad, but I bet you know that and watched it. I marathoned the entire series last year as I hadn't watched it originally, which is why I know Mike was in it.

That wasn't my question

But yes he was in Breaking Bad, I've seen every episode several times

I was remarking on his situation now, how he finally gets sucked into Fring's world

Mike knows what Fring wants, I'm looking forward to how he gets there

I had never heard the term "button man", but I know what it is

My earlier comment was unclear

I'm starting to lose interest in BCS.

Maybe it's because Mike looks like death warmed over.

Maybe it's because Fring doesn't look so trim as he did in BB.

I realize it's been years since BB but for me it's starting to be BB all over again, just without Walt and Jesse.

I read that VInce Gilligan is thinking of making a spin-off with just Kim.

I don't know how that would work but Kim's character at least has some depth.

I would like to see a spin-off with Kim. She's my favorite character by far. I hope she stays on this show as long as I watch it though. If she left, I think I would quit watching.

I guess I'm in the minoriy here but I cannot stand Kim! I am waiting to see how they get her off this show! It's kind of funny because I also hated Walter White's wife on BB. I thought the was the worst character in the whole cast. This show is not as good as I expected it to be this season. Perhaps now that it's full on going in the BB direction there is less nuance and anticipation. I will stick with it though. Mike and Fring seem extra extra......what's the word.......crusty and grim? It's a bit heavy handed.

Re: Better Caul Saul Season 5 - Possible Spoilers

I'm actually liking BCS better this season because it is more like Breaking Bad. I thought last season was kind of slow.

@Cakers3 I may have mentioned this, but I marathoned Breaking Bad last year as I hadn't seen it originally, great entertainment. So then, had to see the BCS,to catch up before Season 4 began. I like Kim a lot, missed her last season.

I read in a comment on FB that in a job interview Kim states she grew up 20 miles from Omaha. Hmmm (I will have to go back and look for that episode).

@Grouchomarx I went back and forth about Skylar but in the end I felt sorry for her. Walt was a real jerk to her, especially with her idea about the car wash. She was smarter than he gave her credit.

I like Kim and for the life of me I cannot figure out what she sees in Saul now.

Crusty fits Mike. LOL As I said, death warmed over.

Funny how we view characters in a different light-makes good discussions.

I always liked Fring because I like Giancarlo Esposito. Bad person that he was/is.

@dylanfanShe did say that in a flashback I think.

Isn't it quite the coincidence that Saul ends up in Omaha working at Cinnabon with his new identity?

Saul said something to Walter in Breaking Bad about having a wife.

Somewhere early in that series.

I could swear there was a reference by Saul saying he had been married.

Maybe Saul and Kim do get married; she goes home and Saul chooses Omaha for his new life-although I thought it was Ed the vacuum guy who made the decision where people will start their new lives.

@Cakers3 I recall the same thing about Saul saying he was married. I always thought he had something going with Francesca. That being said, seeing the way things are moving right now with Jimmy/Saul "breaking bad" his way, I was thinking that Kim somehow gets in the middle of one of his schemes with the cartel. Hope I'm wrong.

@Cakers3 Yes, since Kim wasn't in Breaking Bad, maybe it means they got married, then divorced, probably Kim couldn't take Saul's shenanigans any longer.

@Helen852 Thanks-I thought he did mention an ex-wife and I thought he said his second wife.

I wonder if Kim being from Nebraska will tie in with Saul's new life in Omaha.
