***Official "Space Blanket" for Better Call Saul*** (7 Viewers)

[belljr]

Damn ok. I thought he was pissed because he just ####ed up the nice door to his new office. Also, they really made that office look small on Breaking Bad. Shame he ends up covering up his nice view with all those cheesy decorations.

time to rehook

[Officer Pete Malloy]

My take on the anger at the end was that he would not be able to afford the nice new office now that he gave the money back

Yeah I don't think it was any more deep than that. Jimmy once had $30K (minus suits, advertising etc...plus legit money from new clients) after the Kefflebergs he's back to square one.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

My issue with the Kettleman story line is that it was obvious to me that Betsy Kettleman wanted to go to trial because she knew they'd lose and Mr. Kettleman would go to prison for a long time. She'd get the money. That's how the story line was written and acted until they the very end when Betsy starts talking about finding another lawyer and continuing the flight. Without the money (which is what she really cares about), she wouldn't have reacted that way.

Maybe a minor point but I thought they could have done better.

You don't think she was just stubborn and delusional?

Passed chet's theory off on a coworker as my own and was disagreed with, fwiw. Delusional is what it is.

Is this first season going to be a prequel only? We're going to get present-day Nebraska Cinnebon stuff in later seasons right?

I think the season 1 finale is going to be every Saul scene from BB spliced together for a 90 minute special

No. Think about the scene where the waitress offers more coffee. Betsy and Jimmy say no but Mr. Kettleman raises his mug and is ignored.

[Dr. Octopus]

Probably discussed already but near the end why was Mike confused when Saul put his money in to the duffel?

Is this a serious question or schtick? I can't tell in here anymore.The ex-crooked cop saw no reason for Jimmy to return the money when they just established (in the prior scene) that Ned and Maude would never implicate Jimmy for taking some of the money as that would also implicate Maude which would then result in Maude going to jail along with Ned. I.e. there was no consequence for Jimmy keeping the money, so why give it back?

If he's returning it to the D.A. wouldn't they notice the missing $30k? That's what I was wondering (the 'probably already talked about this' part was shtick, couldn't check in to the thread all day).

Was scratching my head about this too. In addition to the potentially missing cash, how in the world are they going to return the money to the D.A.? Is Mike going to walk in and throw the duffelbag on the D.A.'s desk? Also, by giving the money to the D.A., the D.A. could prosecute as there was likely nothing concrete as far as agreement on the lighter sentence.

I was thinking that he was going to drop it off in Kim's office so that she could turn it in as part of the plea bargain she arranged with the DA. The DA isn't going to back out of the deal he made and say "ah ha, now I got you", provided that he's ever interested in making a plea deal again. Plus the said that the COunty wanted to keep things as quiet as possible - just wanted the money back.

I was thinking that too, but if the money was left with Kim, she would have had to tell Ned and Maude that they were holding the money. I'm not a lawyer, but due to lawyer-client privilege, she would not be able to advise the D.A. when Ned and Maude indicated they wanted their money back.

Any one of the 5,000 lawyers in here care to advise on this.

They were forced by Jimmy to go back to being her client. After they came back she could then turn in the money.

I like your theory but the actress in the show is playing her with crazy eyes, so she's probably just stubborn and delusional.

Going to trial would cost a fortune in lawyer fees and drain most of that money. She's just that delusional. And entitled.

I think the office was based upon his senior work and prospects for business with lawyergirl.

Yeah, I thought it was more about the money. He didn't lose the senior work but if it all hinged on her accepting a partnership, that makes more sense.

OK, since that isn't working, I'll just comment how I am in love with the cinematography on this show. I backed up and paused the scene with the wanted posters several times, not to see if there was anyone recognizable in the posters, but because it was jarringly gorgeous in the way it was shot, especially after the last philly cheesesteak left and it was just Mike, the wanted man, taking up less than 1/3 of the bottom of the screen under the posters of other wanted men. Breathtaking.

I couldn't love this show more, from the acting to the writing to the way it's shot (had not noticed the echoes of Soderbergh that someone mentioned but agree on that now that I think about it). There was also a beautiful shot from a perspective through the bingo "bowl" (I don't know what it's called) up to Jimmy, and the scenes within the brother's house are always stunning as well. So bummed there are only three more episodes this season.

Y'all arguing about blah blah blah in here deserve to be subjected to electromagnetic fields without your space blankets.

Or, it's not meant to be tied up in a tidy little bow where everyone experiences the same thing from the show.

People are going to read that based on what they know about Jimmy--or think they know--based on how they've interpreted the prior actions, whether they've seen Breaking Bad, what their own personal experiences and biases are, etc. I don't get the idea that these folks are trying to set out everything in a linear, obvious fashion to lead every person watching from Point A to Point B. It's possible that there is not a "right" answer to why he was angry.

Loved the Kettleman chick.

I enjoyed the posters in the opening scene also, where it showed a column of the posters then kept panning down to Jimmy's face as if he were the next poster, which we of course know is fitting. Loved that.

 

[Gr00vus]

[IC FBGCav]

Jimmy may have made some profit on the Matlock circuit, enough to cover the suit and the billboard. Maybe he just didn't have those fancy bands to wrap the loose bills in. It may have been quite close to the full amount.

I just took it as them showing he used some of the money but replaced it all.

[Evilgrin 72]

First episode that had some clunkers for me. Mike gave Jimmy the "assist" when the Kettlemans went missing, then Jimmy spilled the coffee, so they were "even." Yet somehow

Jimmy convinces him to do a B&E/home invasion?

The Kettlemans were completely overplayed in

this episode. They became caricatures.

Also had a hard time buying that a firm the size of HHM the Kettlemans are that big a deal, that

losing them would scuttle a whole career.

So that scene bothered me slightly, but I overlooks it.

Nasty hobbitses....
