Keep projecting. You're the only one angry here.
Lalo STUCK that landing. He should go out for gymnastics.
She
Was
SHOOK
I can't help but notice the word 'orange' in your name...you wouldn't happen to be a ginger would you my friend?
For the record, I have nothing against gingers. I love The Adventures of Pete & Pete ok.
I'm still pissed they let Jesse live
Werner didn't have someone standing by to kill Gale. That was his big mistake. Gale was in the lab too.
Kim was SHOOK.
There were two deaths. Don't forget that poor ginger kid at Western Union.
I would even say 3 deaths but the third is figurative. The person we knew as Jimmy is dead. He's been completely replaced by the thing we know as Saul.
After tonight's episode there's no way Kim and Saul have long left. Jimmy died with Chuck. Kim is shook. Won't be long until Kim runs to Howard to be comforted.
The first showed too little. This one went pants on head retarded and showed way too much.
Hew life matter baby
Hew rewls
Ted was repeating Walt's mistake and trying to turn that ho into a housewife.
I could see her hate fucking Howard.
I wish they could have bothered to at least blow up a fake rock. Seeing the actual thing and the effects of it would have given the scene more impact. Instead we got a little poof of dust from a curtain.
This show can be frustrating sometimes.
Slippin' Kimmy will help him get it back next week.
Fly was complete garbage. No surprise given who it was directed by. Fly is everything people complain about in this show x10. People might joke about an episode of BCS being 40 minutes of a character doing something tedious but it was actually true of Fly.
Something else I notice is that Kim gets very upset when someone talks badly about Jimmy. Like the ADA calling him a scumbag suspended lawyer or all the times Chuck tried to turn her against him. She takes it very personally. She sees herself in what they're saying.
I always heard something like
It's mighty strange
You're looking at the leading range
Would you settle to shoot me
Or have you met your darkest yet
It's in me
Don't you talk back
It's funny how literally everyone heard something different but there are those little commonalities.
It's not Jimmy's fault. A big part of season 2 was Kim not just being excited by Jimmy's schemes but being good at them. Rhea herself says there's something in Kim's character or past that makes her like this.

“Not only does it never seem like foreign territory to her, she seems to recognize that in others. It’s not like she loved Jimmy despite him being a con. There’s something to her backstory.”
The truth is Kim was always Slippin Kimmy from some shitheel town in Nebraska and that's why she was attracted to Jimmy to begin with.
I felt this way about much of seasons 2 and 3. Together they felt like a single season that had been stretched to an agonizing length and accomplished little more than meandering and wheel spinning.
It was a shame after the excellent first season, which had a fairly tight story with a clear beginning, middle and end, and managed to wrap well around all the characters. Season 2 erased or reversed much of the development from season 1. That's been this show's biggest flaw. Waffle waffle waffle.
To me it seemed like they had no game plan. Like they didn't really know where they were headed and so of course weren't sure how to get there. I think that gave rise to what you call mule fat. They chose to indulge and linger instead of progressing.
This season has struck a better balance. Not as good as season 1, not as aimless as 2 and 3. I've been impressed by the past four episodes personally. At least with the time skip and all the BrBa crossover it does feel like we're finally moving somewhere.
