Thank you for that support! That is going above and beyond, and I'm glad you've been enjoying BCS as a result 😄 I'm also looking forward to season 6 and to see where Kim goes 👀

Another good reaction. And I can't wait for season 6 either. My brain was a bit off because there are things that happen and my memory is going "no that happened in season 5, not 6" but here it is - those things did not happen yet. So really can't wait for your commentary on the progression of Kim and Jimmy and Howard, but also Nacho. And also Lalo. When it comes to film and television, I tend to be into fantasy and sci-fi and horror - things that aren't real. I never would have watched Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul if it wasn't for watching you covering Buffy and wanting to show more support. And I have to say the character development and story arcs of BCS is one of the best I've ever seen (imo). I'll comment more about what I think with Kim as your watching season 6 bc there will be more to say there. I hope you don't feel let down by Kim's character too too too much. I feel she reached a breaking point with Howard treating her like she needed some male to save her. And it calls into question how he views Kim's own intelligence. Like of course she knows what Jimmy is capable of. Even more so at the point that Howard confronts her. I don't think Chuck knew Jimmy better than Kim. I call bullshit. I might be wrong about this, bc of course if I was in a relationship with someone I would want someone to warn me of red flags. But I designate that to my loved ones. Not employers I used to work for that I've told off for hurting people I love. It's just so condescending and I don't blame Kim for the way she is thinking - even though it's not her norm. She's just had a traumatic experience and she's watching the man she loves contemplating leaving her to keep her safe. And we know she can see that. So... I give her a huge pass. I think it's normal to have those thoughts but not act on them - to act is a different story and I think that is what Jimmy is the catalyst for. I'm typing too much. Okay, Cheers. Have a great week- look forward to more content.

I love Kim's arc this season, because it takes the moral questions of Breaking Bad into even more gray areas. She's fully switched into the ends justify the means, and that combo of willing to do bad stuff with a moral justification is the stuff of villains. With Walt his bad deeds were always tainted by his ego... because he could have just let Graymatter pay his medical bills. And Jimmy just goes along, his bad is really more of an enabler for more self-righteous people... and really just likes running scams and making money... so ultimately he's more of a lesser evil than those two.
