As evidenced by the foot massager purchase; a very Saul luxury item. Francesca telling him the feds seized his nest eggs set him on a bad choice road and he immediately makes a bad choice trying to contact Kim.spike wrote:Nah, he wants back all the money that the feds seized.VinylGuy wrote:Maybe this is just his life now, making this little crimes and keeping the cinnabon facade, away from everyone and away from Kim.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Didn't see the Home Alone connection, but I did recognize that the same actor was in Alexander Payne's Nebraska (Bob Odenkirk is in it too), also shot in B&W and takes place in, well, Nebraska.

Re: TV: Better Call Saul
Speaking of Home Alone, I feel like Mitch Murphy:
Did he actually talk to Kim?
Or did he get rebuffed and flip out on someone else?
Or was he flipping out at somebody else completely unrelated to Kim?
Do we eventually hear the conversation?
Will the show ever go back to color?
What will that mean?
Are the cops at the house where Jimmy is inside?
Or at Jeffy's mom's house?
Or at the 3rd man's, the one with the dog, house?
Who else will be picking up soda/beer can tabs whenever they're lying around in the sand?

On a serious note, I get why everyone is excited to see Walt and Jesse, but I’d be 100 times more interested in a memory with Chuck.

That money definitely got turned over to the Feds before Walt Jr ever saw a dime of it. BB is a show about Walt failing up over and over again. No way that silly plan of his worked outelliseamos wrote:When does Walt Jr. get his own show?daft twat wrote:On a serious note, I get why everyone is excited to see Walt and Jesse, but I’d be 100 times more interested in a memory with Chuck.

He was 100% talking to Kim. He hoped she would be happy to hear from him directly because Francesca mentioned she called. Kim probably wanted him to turn himself in and he lost it because he likely thought he could rekindle that love.

Re: TV: Better Call Saul
I agree. When did Jimmy ever display anger at Kim?tragabigzanda wrote:I don’t think he spoke with her solely because his body language conveyed anger and frustration, but not longing or remorse. I got the sense he was met by a gatekeeper of some sort who wouldn’t let him through.
