What these last few episodes are showing is that Chuck was right all along. He’s ALWAYS just gonna be Slippin’ Jimmy and always looking for the con. It is who he is down to his very core
and it will always destroy everything and everyone around him.

im still on the fence with Jimmy turning himself in...he never did that. Ever. And he seems to be far gone from a moment of doing that.

Next ep is named Saul Gone.

Maybe if he really breaks character...maybe he can get that moment of redemption and turn himself. But Jimmy never did either so im not sure.

I think he's being driven to a point of despair he's never known before, and he's going to be forced to face questions about who he really is and whether Chuck was right all along. I think he might take Kim's lead on this.

Of course Kim is doing the right thing but also, she is smart enough to kinda now there wont be any prision for her.
Makes me wonder if she is thinking about something else too.

Quick question regarding the “Breaking Bad” episode. When Francesca tells Jimmy on the phone that Jesse’s El Camino is found in California somewhere, is that a reference to the movie? We haven’t seen that yet.

instead of just sitting quietly and waiting a few minutes for the guy to fall asleep again, since he was definitely going to do that. It was like three am, the guy isn't going to sit on the stairs to his den for the next six hours. Weird moment
I could be wrong but I thought Saul was hiding in the doorway of the guy’s bedroom at the top of the stairs.
It seemed like that loft was his entertainment center
Yes, but there was some alcove or doorway on the other side of the top of the stairs, across from the loft.

Yeah. That was one of the things Badger and Skinny Pete helped him with in the movie. Badger was instructed to drive Jesse's car and ditch it somewhere by the border

Thanks. We’re gonna watch it after BCS is over. So this really IS the last things happening in the timeline.

Yeah, and it wasn’t the El Camino. Skinny Pete kept that at his place and it was likely impounded when the cops showed up there looking for Jesse.

Badger drove Skinny Pete’s T-bird to the Mexican border and left it there before hitchhiking back.

Jesse took Badger’s Fiero.

(I happened to watch that scene on YouTube last night.)

Whatever the conclusion is, I don’t think Jimmy deserves a happy ending.

Loved the shot in color on his glasses of his commercial. Nice call back to the first season.

And that seems to be a theme with most everyone in this world. “Crime doesn’t pay.” Eventually it has caught up with everyone. (Don’t know about Jesse. Haven’t seen the movie yet.)

I don't know whether he deserves it or not, but I don't see many options for one. He's not going to reunite with Kim. He's not going to get away scot-free. He's either going to turn himself in, get captured against his will, or die.

Two things_

- Jesse and Kim talking could point out at the only two people who get away live from this.

- The intro with Kim´s new life had that weird feeling that Twin Peaks The Return had for some of its characters.

She also sounded a bit like she was doing a weird Minnesotan accent at times

Kim has been the best character the entire series.

Probably one of the few sane characters from BB / BCS
