is it morally acceptable to send bcs asks in this day and age? because I am still haunted by fun and games -> waterworks kim. like her breakup was empathetic and loving but then we are punished with a scene where she looks directly at the camera and says “he is not a good person”. Feel like it was to increase the “dramatic twist” of his confession (same vibes as a workaholic finally showing up to his son’s baseball game at the end of a movie)

if it is morally unacceptable, then i encourage the sin.

you know what haunts me about this? probably repeating myself or saying things i've already expressed to you, but it reads as such a specifically female narrative punishment, such a glaring swerve for her characterization - the need to make her prostrate, make her surrender everything she has, cherishes, and has accomplished, but that isn't enough. she has to become the moral equivocator, thrust into a world that is suddenly stark black and white (this symbolism was not subtle), taken from her wonderfully fascinating complicity in a world of thoughtful, graded color into the sole person who knows the true man behind the facade, loves and abets him, and then must rebuke and renounce him in order to begin the purging of her trangressions.

she also has to serve as the catalyst for his final descent, a decision that, instead of being the slow transformation it once was, a persona worn as a suit, becomes a melodramatic gunshot into gaudy hollowed existence due to her abandonment/absence. it's the contrary of so much of what they built, so much of why she was unique and had agency of her own, she dissolves into a symbol behind the existence of saul, the bottle topper at the back of a drawer. nearly silent, exiled, stripped of true identity and achievement. (don't get me started on florida man, nobody wants to hear me lose it over that again.)

it's just a discomfiting choice for this amazing character - a woman who, two episodes prior, pointed a gun at a total stranger if it meant saving this man. who used her intellect and tenacity so consistently. who knew and saw and accepted him wholly. it's not that she shouldn't face consequences, like it's not that jimmy shouldn't (despite my extreme dislike of the implications of how that played out too), it's the WAY it was executed. it's inorganic to everything we knew to be true - because it does serve that final dramatic twist more than it serves these characters and their relationship that we knew and loved so well.

i CANNOT believe we were denied a scene where paranoid late-brba saul breaks all 200 phone batteries and then rips his mansion walls apart while looking for bugs 😤

[seraphtrevs]

@saulwexler - that's a really interesting question! I think her getting the hell out of Dodge probably made things easier for Mike - like, he didn't have to keep tabs on her because by quitting the law and moving as far away as possible, she made her intentions about removing herself from the situation completely very clear, and there was no need for him to worry about her suddenly deciding to do the right thing.

I'm sure people found her quitting and moving away strange, but without knowing about the Ham Scam, there's no reason to connect her actions to Howard's death and Gus's involvement in the cover up. Marriages fall apart sometimes. People have dramatic upheavals in their lives for reasons we don't know. Kim has always been an intensely private person, so people not knowing her motive wouldn't be out of the ordinary for her. I bet you anything people thought Jimmy cheated on her or something, and that's what ended their marriage, and maybe made her reevaluate her life. People are good at making up stories to tell themselves. So I don't think Gus and Mike would care that much if she disappeared.

It's difficult to say if Jimmy would have been "allowed" to go, partly because it's so hard to think of a scenario in which he'd give everything else up after Kim left. Like, if she had asked him to leave with her, no question he would do it. But with her gone? No way would he give up his dream job and all of the money.

If he'd fled in the dead of the night, I don't think Gus would send people after him, but I'm not 100% sure. Jimmy has so much to lose by coming forward, and he doesn't exactly have the reputation of being tempted to come clean for honorable reasons (little did they know!) But on the other hand, Jimmy is sneaky and sleazy, so any attempt at fleeing might have been viewed by them with more suspicion. They might have felt more comfortable keeping an eye on him. Idk, it's hard to say
