A few references - Mike used the “Dave Clark” alias in BB when he’s trying to find out where Frings laptop is being stored. Also detective Robert’s is a reoccurring character from BB. He is Hank’s friend from the Police depth - he helps skyler search for Walt when he has his “fugue state”, and he’s the one who hands Gale’s lab notes over to hank to look over when hes still bed ridden.

agreed- i noticed how its also something jimmy is doing entirely alone. its like a dark way of venting or something. i think its the shows way of reminding you that as easy as it is to root for jimmy and become okay with all the shit he's done, he actually is a bad person and not to lose sight of that. howard really does nothing wrong so far this whole series. he's clearly just a guy who has dedicated his whole life to being a good lawyer and is clearly depressed that he's not happy with how things are and then jimmy is here destroying his career and property. hate it

I absolutely love Jimmy's film crew. They get their time to shine every season and each have a noticeable enough personality to be memorable. Jimmy's subtle rivalry with Joey (camera guy) is so funny to me. dude does not put up with any of Jimmy's shit lol It's funny how if Jimmy wasn't so committed to being a piece of shit conman lawyer he would thrive as a film director lol - he knows what good looks like

Jimmy picking on Howard makes me sad. Howard is a good guy.

AlrightThere

That was my exact reaction when I first watched this aswell haha

Very interesting point you're both making about Jimmy defending the little guy. I'd actually take this further and refer back the conversation Mike had with Pryce in season 1 about good and bad people being on both sides of the law. This topic is very well explored through Jimmy's eyes. Jimmy spent a lot of time on the right side of the law, working with and for people in fancy suits, with fancy degrees who are supposed to be good, but he realised that these people are often backstabbing and don't hesitate to take every opportunity to take advantage of you. He also saw that people on the wrong side of the law are often more honourable than the supposedly "good ones". One of the best examples to illustrate this is when Jimmy asks the Vamonos Pest guy to steal that German item from the office and sell it on the black market. He ends up getting more money for it then Jimmy initially anticipated without him knowing, and gives Jimmy exactly half of it. Jimmy remarks that this is more than they agreed and the guy admits he got compensated more and thanks Jimmy for giving him the opportunity in the first place. Jimmy was taken aback by it because the guy could have kept the money for himself and he would have never known, so he realises that these people who are often labelled as criminals are much more honourable and straight than the ones claiming to be on the good side of the law, which is why I think the line between the 2 is so blurred for him.

Your reaction at the end should go on your wall of fame!!

Jimmy's such a good guy. I can't believe Kim just wanted to let Ms. Bitsui keep getting ripped off by Mesa Verde. Probably a top 5ish episode for me. Nacho, Lalo, and Kim add SOOOO much to the Breaking Bad universe. I love Kim and Nacho, and Lalo just has a way about him. He's just... captivating.
