Date: September 18th, 2018 9:37 AM Author: Motley senate I’m worried the writers won’t be able to bring themselves to actually do it. All shows are required to have a strong female lead nowadays. Kim’s character has been lauded by libs. I think the breakup is essential & can be quite powerful — the show is better with Jimmy being Saul-like & his relationship with Kim on the rocks or broken — but they aren’t going to write her out of the show. And then it becomes another character they have to write separate storylines for. In a show that already struggles with balancing different storylines & main characters.

|
Date: September 18th, 2018 12:09 PM Author: Swashbuckling legal warrant brunch The law firm party where Jimmy manages to offend just about everyone that matters to Kim foreclosed on any real relationship moving forward.
At an intellectual level, especially after learning about Jimmy’s cell phone business, and arrest of his security chief, Kim must reject Jimmy for the way he thinks: not even like a lawyer.
Going back to an earlier episode flashback scene where law student Kim is clerking at the same firm that Jimmy’s brother just won a huge case based on obscure case law, Jimmy Lacks the wits for appreciating the fine points of the law which is precisely what makes Kim who she is=a blue chip legal talent |

|
Date: September 20th, 2018 12:54 AM Author: useless spot It has to do with what I said a few weeks ago. It's major symbolism. This time the other color was a nondescript skin-tone color that sort of resembled a pale yellow. Yellow is one of those weird colors that's either optimistic (sunshine, happiness, warmth) or pessimistic (caution, illness, insanity). Keep in mind that the writers did the same shit in Breaking Bad (Marie always wore purple and everything in the house was purple).

|
Date: September 18th, 2018 8:51 PM Author: Motley senate I’ve thought about it. They’re certainly acting like it’s going to happen. Makes for good drama. I still worry the writers won’t go through with it because of her status as a character. Then again, maybe they see her not putting up with his shenanigans as an example of female empowerment. But they won’t diminish her role. Too much media praise as a strong womyn lead. If she breaks up with Jimmy, it takes away screen time. Do they put her with Hamlin?
It would be stunning if they killed her & it was the straw that completely breaks Jimmy in ep 10, & they bring in other actresses to play Saul’s rebound flings in a timeline jump next season, but it’ll never happen. Would get too much shitlib media criticism. |
|
Date: September 18th, 2018 8:57 PM Author: cowardly step-uncle's house wrinkle I thought they might off her when she was driving her Audi at the end (flashbacks to her accident from the past season).
Not sure where they're going with the Hamlin character. I like the guy, hoap he gets his mojo back.
Show continues to hit the nail on the head with law firm dynamics (see, e.g., Jimmy's comment about the associate working through lunch).
|
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 12:38 AM Author: Motley senate The Hamlin actor has done a good job.
It's weird that I root for him, but also root for Jimmy. Even though they are both assholes in their own selfish ways. That's good writing and acting. I feel more drawn to Jimmy, though. I was once told, by a new boss, "I've learned some things about you. And one is you aren't afraid to take creative ways to find a shortcut." She was right. But she liked me. At least I am pretty sure. And I like Jimmy.
|
|
Date: September 20th, 2018 1:10 AM Author: judgmental grizzly stead I'm pretty sure that Hamlin is going to continue to unravel and the firm is going to implode.
Recall that they are handling Jimmy's big class action against the nursing home. As it stands, Jimmy should be getting a big fat check in the semi-near future, but it would seem that isn't the case based on what we've seen of Jimmy in Breaking Bad. My guess is that the class action gets fucked up and Jimmy has to go full blown Saul once he regains his license. |
|
Date: September 18th, 2018 8:59 PM Author: cowardly step-uncle's house wrinkle Also, could see the writers killing her off or ending the relationship by the end of the season. The showrunners aren't afraid of timejumps (see this episode or the last season of Breaking Bad). I hoap (and think) they're going to have the last season or two of Better Call Saul focus on the Gene/Omaha storyline. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4078737&forum_id=2#36836462) |

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 12:41 AM Author: Motley senate i'm with you. the idea of exploring gene is fascinating. they've done a brilliant job with those scenes. i'd be thrilled with a last season of gene, and it's not out of the realm of possibility they do it. especially if they ditch kim. but i'm still skeptical.

|
Date: September 20th, 2018 12:58 AM Author: useless spot They're going to kill her off, but I don't know how. Obviously, it will indirectly be because of Jimmy. Her death was foreshadowed by the cast removal (which signifies she's healthy again) and the eeriness of her driving scene, which I think is only the second time in the entire series where Kim has been filmed driving. Obviously we know what happened the first time. I think Hamlin is more likely to just fade out & disappear. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4078737&forum_id=2#36846480) |

Date: September 19th, 2018 12:46 AM Author: Motley senate she's been way better this season. most of the praise the first three seasons was just hype because she was a strong womyn lead. but she's been good this season. that said, i think the show would progress better if she's gone at the end of the season. i don't think it will happen, but the show is "better call saul." if it's telling the story of jimmy becoming saul, they shouldn't get too attached to kim.

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 1:00 AM Author: Exhilarant Doobsian Affirmative Action University Yeah, I thought she was just an awkwardly try hard bad actor for the first seasons. But she wore me down and now I think she is the perfect setup for some big morality type play reveal with Saul "breaking bad" or whatever. My biggest issue with this show though is it feels so similar to Breaking Bad just with far less at stake. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4078737&forum_id=2#36838223) |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 1:50 AM Author: Motley senate yes, friend, i agree kim was overrated for the first three seasons. that said, i think she's been way better in season 4, even if i didn't love a couple of episodes. the brothers darryl in newhart weren't great at first, either, but they found their role. my biggest worry with saul is the writers won't take chances because they feel pressured to keep kim as a strong female lead. we'll see. she's done a great job this season, but saul is the main character.
