Pull over when you next safely can and sleep for an hour. It's a stupid way to die.

2024-12-04 04:08:16 +0000 UTCRough episode. What happens to Irene in this episode breaks my heart, and what happens to Kim is terrifying. But, I've got some neat easter eggs! At the oil rig, we get an interior of Kim's car, and there is a bottle of "NoDoz" in her glove compartment. NoDoz was the name of one of Tuco's guys (I think the one that he beats to death in the junkyard). Also, when Jimmy is power walking in the mall, there's a store called "Crazy 8", feel like I don't even need to explain that one.

2024-12-04 03:52:12 +0000 UTCI was waiting for it, pre-wincing, and it still got me. That's one of the scariest feelings when you're driving and realize you nearly just fell asleep. Gotta roll all the windows down, blast the radio, smack yourself in the face, anything to stay awake.

2024-12-04 01:40:02 +0000 UTCHow he treats Irene is probably the first time all of the audience really starts to feel the ick from the stunts he pulls to manipulate people. Like, the Kettlemans are terrible people, and his little cons for drinks or extra cash are on people that we don't care about, but now we really feel how far he's fallen. And the instant flash into the accident with Kim was primed to us as an audience with how they showed her power nap in an earlier episode. This show is wonderfully thought out.

I'm not usually a fan of jump scares but this was done really well, it really happens like that. you think it's gonna be slowly dozing off, but it's closing your eyes for 1 second and opening them 30 seconds later. that's why driving tired is soooo dangerous and if you feel even a bit tired you should pull over.

2024-12-03 20:36:22 +0000 UTCit hurts like when someone hurts a dog on screen cuz most people have an elderly person in their lives and isolating them even more shortly before they pass away is heinous

2024-12-03 20:31:41 +0000 UTCWhat Jimmy did to Irene is about the shittiest thing he's ever done. he is definitely heading into Saul territory!

2024-12-03 19:21:32 +0000 UTCFor real. It's quite possibly the most evil thing he does in the entirety of BCS/BB.

2024-12-03 19:00:51 +0000 UTCI like this analysis. I would slightly push back on this just to say that in the next episode - which I feel is fair game to talk about here because they've already watched it and posted it - Jimmy walks back this con and vilifies himself to exonerate poor Irene, at the expense of an early settlement. Other than the Fly episode of Breaking Bad, where Walt shows some remorse for what happened to Jane and comes close to admitting culpability, and the finale where he takes pity on Jesse and saves him from Uncle Jack and co., I struggle to think of a time Walt made any effort to undo the damage caused to someone he intentionally screwed over. I'm not trying to argue that Walt is worse than Jimmy/Saul; I merely appreciate the efforts Better Call Saul makes to differentiate the two guys and the respective ways they act on their worst impulses.

2024-12-03 18:28:53 +0000 UTCIn a world that's filled with drug dealers, crooked cops, con men, and murderers, one of the hands-down most villainous acts is Jimmy turning poor Irene's friends against her.

2024-12-03 17:58:11 +0000 UTCI like this episode because it really highlights the juxtaposition of Saul's character to Walt's character. We know Jimmy as the sleazy con-man criminal lawyer who colors out of the line a little. Up to this point the only people he didn't care fk-ing over were douchebags and people who deserved it. But in this episode, he decides to pull a rouse on sweet old Irene who didn't do anything wrong except just being a class representative. In BB we see Walt go into Heisenberg mode when it came to Tuco and Crazy 8 but we don't really see his true character until the Jane situation happens. This episode might be (arguably) Jimmy's Jane situation, not in the sense of someone losing their life per-se but someone did lose their livelihood all because it suited Jimmy the best. He manipulated her, made her feel ostracized, coerced her, and legally speaking it is still some sort of light/semi soliciting of legal services by trying to get her to settle. I think from this episode, and the next episode as well, Jimmy becomes Saul Goodman, just like Walt became Heisenberg. Looking forward to the rest of the show, a lot of story still left to be told
