Better Call Saul 4x09 Reaction

Bob's also notorious for not letting Peter or the rest of the writers tell him what happens in upcoming episodes before they get the finished scripts, even though he's a producer and could find out everything that happens in the season while they're breaking the episodes. He always says that he hopes for a happy ending but expects the writers to not give one so I wouldn't put any stock in that meaning that the end is definitely going to be bad (although I also don't think the writers are going to make it a happy one)

I keep telling myself I don't care what happens in season 6 as long as it's done well and maintains the same high quality that we're accustomed to (which it almost certainly will, in fact it'll probably end up being the best season). But I've never been more attached to TV characters before, and I'M SCARED TO DEATH. Please Vince & Peter, don't hurt them too much!! I can't take it.

Bob said that?? Dammit. Well I'm gonna choose to believe he said that to throw off the scent so we'll all be surprised when the show ends as happily as your head canon!! lol

Good observation. I also find it a bit hypocritical that she brought up the Huell scam while they were arguing and said it wasn't "fun"... ummmm Kim, that was your idea, and you loved it!! lol. By this point, Kim no longer has the moral high ground, she should not be judging Slippin' Jimmy for his actions when she freely participates in scams herself now... and then goes back to her fancy office in the sky and pretends to be an upstanding, straight-laced lawyer. Jimmy was wrong about most of what he said in the argument but he is kinda right about that.

Because Season 6 hasn't been made yet, I'm living out my headcanon for the last 5 minutes of the show. Jimmy (or 'Gene') tracks down Kim, and walks up to her door, where she lives alone. The melody of 'Something Stupid' is playing gently in the background. She opens the door and sees him, stunned, tears well in both their eyes, and they embrace. Cut to black, credits, and I begin crying for the rest of my life.

Bob Odenkirk recently said in an interview "don't expect a happy ending", so I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't think we'll get a tragic ending a la Mike, but I don't think we'll get a particularly uplifting one either.

I feel like what Kim does in the beginning of the episode is her first real Slipping Kimmy moment where she does something for her own benefit without caring about what could potentially happen to the woman that works there.

"Is there any chance to meet the owner?" "I'm the owner." Lalo: 😱

"Jimmy you are always down." The delivery and timing of that line is impeccable. Your guys' reaction to it was very clear haha.

also this part got cut out of the vid, but jimmy states at the hearing that university of american samoa "is no georgetown", chuck's alma mater. he's blatantly lying when he says he doesn't think about chuck, but he can't see it

It's one of the best, if not THE best episode of the show. Right up there with Chicanery.

I agree with you guys, happy endings are underrated. I am hoping and praying BCS has a happy ending, or at least semi happy! Yeah it's the BB universe but so what? I actually think a more uplifting ending would fit the tone of the show better than one that's super dark and sad. This show tugs on my heartstrings too much...

Taya

Well reasoned

cant wait for next episode :)

To add a bit to the Mike and Werner discussion obviously Werner's decision to escape is a huge mistake, but the bigger mistake to me is the one that Mike makes in telling Werner to just push through this until they are finished. Mike could go to Gus and get him to arrange some time for Werner to spend with his wife. It's not a monumental ask. But Mike believes that Werner can buckle down and finish everything because Mike sees himself in Werner, that's clear from their first scene together. So Mike tells him to get the job done as quick as possible because of course that's how he'd handle it. We know that Mike would spend a decade in isolation doing the job all on his own if it meant that his family was financially secure for the rest of their lives. But Werner's not entirely like Mike, of course, and I love that last scene of the episode because I don't think that it's an accident that the thing that Werner used to fry the cameras and escape is the same kind of gadget that the first engineer used, the guy that felt completely alien to Mike. That laser measurer is such a beautiful metaphor for the difference between the two of them.

The rooftop scene is incredible!

Wait, so did you already watch 4x10 or not yet?

"Mala leche" is a phrase in spanish that means like "bad blood", that someone did something in a mean way with intention, literally translated means "bad milk" :P
