@Cloudy, yes you're right. I'm speaking about Jimmy/Saul as he is right now in the series. BB-era Saul is... something else entirely lol.

2021-12-19 14:49:26 +0000 UTC@TeaDrinker3000, yeah I agree. Considering how messed up the judicial system is, with its overly long and harsh sentences, the difficulty of getting a job and reintegrating into society afterwards leading to high recidivism rates... Jimmy getting these sentences reduced as much as possible is the best thing he could do for these people. It could mean the difference between a person getting their act together to lead a relatively normal life vs. becoming a career criminal because their rap sheet makes it impossible for them to successfully reform. It's hard for me not to root for Robin Hood type characters, lol.

2021-12-19 12:41:47 +0000 UTCI'd say that what he's about to do in the Gene storyline is something along the lines of what he has been doing throughout the show, and something he is incredibly good at... scamming people: In this situation he could try to frame the tax driver as being a criminal for some stupid reason Jimmy makes up. To me that'd make more sense from a character arc perspective, because it'd allow Jimmy to re-embrace his confidence from the past, maybe, one last time. I'm saying this makes sense because often he looks back to the old days of him being Saul with fond nostalgia and a want to go back, I think (S1 ep1). Furthermore, I also believe it'd create an interesting contrast between what he has been feeling during the flash-forwards (loneliness, extreme fear and paranoia), and what has already been hinted at the end of this last flash-forward with the "I'll do this myself" line delivery (determination, confidence, anger,...)

2021-12-19 12:36:50 +0000 UTCThat's a good point. The audience is able to maintain a love for Jimmy as he's somewhat akin to a Robin Hood type, albeit a very crooked one. The 'criminals' he's standing up for are just petty ones, he's not defending domestic or child abusers, as you mentioned. Honestly I think that in some ways it makes him more honourable than by-the-book lawyers who *do* defend violent/immoral criminals for the sake of just winning the case, but I think that's just a feeling most people have towards the justice system in general.

2021-12-19 10:49:48 +0000 UTCExactly right, you're 100% spot on, as you said, he wants to stick it to the big guys, that speech he gave that girl summed up his entire attitude, very well put. He also explains it to Howard (as your probably already aware as I believe you've also seen the whole season too) that he wants to give the little guys the best / final line of defense. Love his character

2021-12-19 06:27:38 +0000 UTCKim said she grew up in a small town in Nebraska. (Red Cloud...? can't remember). She didn't really say anything about her life, but she said if she kept going on the path she was on, she would end up working at the Piggly Wiggly and married to the guy who runs the gas station. She wanted more out of life than that. Interestingly, Gene is also in Nebraska... what that means exactly is yet to be determined!

2021-12-19 04:14:52 +0000 UTCI love (and also hate) that the shot we see right before the scene with Mike listening to Kaylee talk about his son is of the Sun being covered up by the branches of a tree, like it's being choked out by this growing blackness.

2021-12-19 04:14:48 +0000 UTCI disagree that Saul doesn't care about his clients. Maybe he doesn't care about them individually, but he cares about giving them the best legal services he possibly can, and he'll pull out all the stops to do it, including bending/breaking the law when necessary. What he doesn't care about is the sanctity of the law, obviously. Which is...whatever. I actually don't think there's anything wrong with him marketing his services to ... whatever you want to call those types of people lol. Most of his clients are just petty criminals, it's not like he is faking evidence and witnesses to get serial killers and child molesters off. And it makes sense why he's doing it. It's all in his speech to Kristy Esposito. He wants to stand up for the fuck ups of society and give a big middle finger to the man, the establishment etc.
