I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We're also most probably seeing an edited version of the phone call. The cut from inside the phone booth of Jimmy asking for Kim to the wide shot of him motioning angrily may be jarring if you are expecting it to be in real time, but I think there's some build-up that was snipped out. When we cut to the wide shot, it feels like Jimmy is mid sentence.

I've managed to resist the temptation to read the phone call translation, as well as the promo of the finale that also leaked. There's also supposed to be a leaked beat-by-beat description of the entire finale but I think that one's less likely to be real.

I’m now at the point of letting the show take me wherever it’s going, but mainly because I can’t tell if this conclusion is a story of self-destruction, self-actualization, or an exploration of Mike’s warning about bad choice roads.

My gut tells me that Jimmy thinks Kim would be open to a conversation because she asked about him, which she clearly is not, hence the anger.

I didn't think it was Kim he was talkin to but I just read some of the dialogue.

It was her.

Gene gets arrested for breaking into the house. He’s in jail, wondering how he got into this position. An officer comes up and says your attorney is here. Gene is perplexed. Kim walks into scene.

If a character dies on the show, that actor usually appears on Talking Saul that week. So there's a pretty good chance one of these four people will die on Monday:



fingers crossed it's Vince

The end
I feel the courtroom will be involved and Kim will be arguing either for or against Jimmy. And that other lawyer that they showed on the ad and mentioned on the phone will be involved too. That seemed way too random not to come into play.

Spoiler: show
what happened after Howard’s wife read Kim’s confession? We paused it and when we came back she was crying on a bus and it wouldn’t let us rewind

It was a good episode. I like the idea of Kim punishing herself by dating nice, clean, American, mayo boy
