Better Call Saul (May Contain Breaking Bad Spoilers)

[cazzie34]

I finished this when the last season came out on netflix.

One thought I had, and I would have to go back and see if it works, is that Jimmy/Saul and Kim, when they are together, start to become different people. Jimmy is inherently a bad person but the more time he spends around Kim, the better he becomes. Meanwhile, Kim is inherently a good person but the more time she spends around Jimmy, the worse she becomes.

So you see that the longer they are apart, the worse Jimmy/Saul becomes. He can't stay Gene because deep down he's Saul. I think back to the scenes where Saul asks what people would do if they could go back in time. Walter saying "You've always been like this, haven't you?" Then you see how in prison he's back to being called Saul again. His courtroom confession clearly didn't kill off Saul and he didn't "become" Jimmy.

For Kim there is the flashback to when her mom picks her up and he mom has been drinking and Kim won't get in the car. She's pure. The purpose of that flashback was to show how she was pure and good and that she got corrupted by Jimmy/Saul. But then you see that the more time she hangs around Jimmy/Saul, the more she wants to do the schemes and the more she pushes it past the ethical points.

And maybe that's why Jimmy/Saul blows it all up at the end. Because part of him knows that if he gets back to being around Kim, she'll start being bad again. And it was one last effort on his good part to try and save Kim. Deep down he knows he's bad. He's going to be bad again and he needs to stay away from Kim because deep down Kim is good and Kim needs to stay away from Jimmy/Saul to stay good. Being in prison for 86 years keeps them apart.

Went to the Dog House traveling through town on Saturday.

1/2 long mustard dog 3/5
Cheeseburger 4/5
Cheese fries 0/5

Weirdest cheese sauce I've ever tried on anything. Definitely a place Jesse Pinkman would frequent.

Just restarted this series this past week. Man, it was easily in my top 5 shows of all time from the first watch but the second watch is even better. Simply love this show.

Better Call Saul TV Series Complete Seasons 1-6 (DVD Box Set) New & Sealed
Total: $33.53

... That's far cheaper than going the streaming route, and I get to complete my ABQniverse collection as well. Not a bad haul.

(I doubt anyone will ask, but yes, I went for the DVDs instead of blurays for a reason. They're cheaper and use less space, and I'm not watching the show on my TV, only my comp and my phone)

That’s a good price.

Nice pickup

I have the full Breaking Bad series on Blu-ray in that cool barrel thing they put out. It was like $200 but it was absolutely worth it to me. Very well designed and well made too. I’ve heard Vince Gilligan kinda nerd out on special DVD packages and how he loves going for the big releases with all the special features and all that.

That's what always surprises me about streaming vs physical. Like, not only do you own them instead of rent them*, so you can watch them no matter where or when, but all the extras are so worth it. I'm honestly really interested in a few of the commentary tracks on Saul.

* I know about owning vs OWNING when it comes to entertainment media
