What’s funny about this scene is how neither character was meant to go this far in their respective series. Jesse was expected to die early on in Breaking Bad, Kim had barely any lines at the start of Better Call Saul. But at the end of both shows, we certainly care more for their well-being than either actual protagonist.
I remember seeing her and thinking she is going to be just a minor character. It was amazing to see her evolve from that to the deuteragonist of the show.
@@marko6489 Both Vince and Peter have gone on record saying that Kim was originally added as a simple love interest. In the begining they weren't sure what to do with her. They did not think she was going to be a part of Jimmy's life for the course of the show. The mindset being that Jimmy would be unbearable to deal with in a relationship for any real length of time. Since then they have said that it was what Rhea Seehorn brought to the role that made her such a mainstay. Similar to what happened as a result of Aaron Paul's performance with his character.
@@rossturner7859 Tragically, they never found a believable way back to what they initially had in mind for Jimmy. As the show progressed, he turned out to be someone you could damn well spent a "real length of time" with. What they had was a wonderful and deep relationship. And the writers had to betray both their characters in the end.
Kim was like Jesse, they had promises of something but got manipulated by someone they trusted, expect Jesse never had anything promises in his life but be a junky
@Vikram Rana How would you propose that happens besides another flashback? The last one really wasn't that great... but if they can find a way to make that Walt cameo have more meaning/weight like Jesse's here, I wouldn't be opposed to it
First scene with Jesse he looked way off it was strange, it wasn't just that he was older it was just way off. This scene Aaron killed it, the mannerisms, the voice, everything was so on point
He looked like he just got off the set of El Camino but I'm glad he didn't come back with hundred percent energy it would have probably felt just as odd seeing how old he was but how he was acting lol. This scene yes is spot on
Considering all the horrendous shit Jesse went thru basically post-Gale, I bet it was super refreshing for Aaron Paul to finally step into Jesse's shoes again at his purest. Before the downward spiral.
I love how Vince revealed Jesse in his last directed episode of this show the same way he revealed Walt in Skyler’s house in Felina, his last directed episode of Breaking Bad.
in general it feels so right for Vince to be the director of Jesse's cameo scene. Aaron Paul said that no one in the casting really liked his audition for BB at all, But Vince was the one who was stubborn and wanted Aaron for the role. I think Vince even said he had a "very good feeling about him" .
I nearly cried when Jesse asked Kim if he Better Call Saul and Kim replied: “Only if you’re Breaking Bad”. Such beautiful symbolism, especially during the rain! Bravo Vince!!
This episode was so heartbreaking. On two occasions we saw Gene about to take a step into somewhere he could never return, which was physically hurt someone and possibly kill them and that isn’t him… BUT we saw how he can emotionally hurt people. It was the perfect summation to who he is, and he can’t change his nature. This episode was amazing, and it’s gonna conclude to a depressing ending.
Jimmy will win. Saul will indeed he all gone, leaving the once suppressed Jimmy back- proving Chuck wrong. See, I don’t think the writers agree with Chuck. I think they’re willing to indulge Chuck to the bitter end, but I think they ultimately reject his thesis. Walt changed at the end. Not perfectly, but he made things right as much as he could in Felina. Jesse changed. Jimmy will change.
This took me back to the first time I ever saw the pilot of Breaking Bad, back in middle school…memories. Out of all the characters to meet Kim I thought Jesse would be the least likely, but here it is.
makes 0 sense he is literally the one involved in crimes early and had buddies in crime, idk how you can come to that conclusion he wouldnt be the one to meet kim lmao
@@IdoesRagequit “since she was a pro bono and maybe she would represent him at some point” Hmm, so now I’m hoping that Kim would meet up with Jesse again someday in Alaska and help clear his name with the DEA, allowing Jesse to come back home to his family one day.
This felt like a crossover event in the best way possible. This scene was funny, endearing, and deeply sad all at once, and the rainy weather (a first for either show) made it feel all the more surreal and dreamlike.
"This guy...you think I better call Saul?" "Only if you're planning on breaking bad." "El Camino...bitch." Heartbreaking dialogue. Give Rhea Seehorn her Emmy now.
@@WingMan524 3 scenes. 2 each. The breaking bad scene in the previous episode. And then one each. Walter still have one for the finale and then Saul Gone.
yeah after saw how broken he was in el camino, i kinda miss how optmistic and childish he was in the early seasons, you know the YEAH SCIENCE type of jesse
I love the purpose of this scene. Not simply fan service, but to show just how detached from Jimmy Kim really is. She has to listen to someone else's perspective on the man she loved, and the perspective is that this guy will go to any length to defend someone who should be serving serious time for a serious offense. He's so widely known for his immorality, it's like her wake up call, the one she didn't accept when Howard confronted her about Jimmy smashing his car with bowling balls or sending prostitutes to his lunch meeting. The whole scene with Jesse is as though she's standing there realizing for the first time that she should have listened.
Dont overstretch things man. I love this show and this scene was definitely fan service and there is nothing wrong with that. That is what we wanted, a crossover between the BB and BCS universes
this is such a perfect scene. both of these characters serve just about the same purpose in each of their shows and its so fitting that they have a scene together. jaw was dropped the whole scene. best episode yet.
yeah, come to think of it look at 1:23 onwards. It looks like their wearing matching outfits. Different of course but the darker jacket and yellow shirt. Different yet the same.
Great scene. My only complaint is how quickly it turns from daytime when we're inside Sauls office to nighttime outside. Jolting. Luckily I didn't catch it until my 2nd watch. Now I cannot unsee it.
This is likely the last appearance of Jesse in the entire BB universe (unless they actually do go through with another installment of the show). And in a way I feel like it fits. Like other commenters have mentioned, it’s like one person is about to leave the life and another is about to enter. And they are both the deuteragonists. I think that Jesse just driving away would have been nice (El Camino) but I can accept this, too.
@@anotherhappylanding4746 chronologically in universe, that’s the last scene we see of him regarding his fate but this takes place after El Camino in terms of Aaron Paul playing him is my point.
@@Brandonhayhew Yep. It is. Vince said he wasn’t doing another unless he fails in his other ventures. So the door is open but I don’t think he wants to twist the doorknob.
I thought in this episode he did great it's not his age it's his delivery in ep Breaking bad the ep not the show he sounded depressing like batmsn as someone said other then that I don't have a problem with how AP did it
@@daytimelantern6570 Maybe it had to do with the fact that he was exhausted from having to bring Saul in the middle of the dessert with Walt in the middle of the night. thus, why he sounded a bit depressing in the 11th episode.
It is established as canon in season 1, episode 2 that Jesse is a BIG fan of "MILF's". You think a junkie just happens to bum a cigarette off Kim like that? No, he planned it, it was Jesse. He killed a dog!
It feels like someone intentionally trying to sound like someone that’s younger and less aware. It’s like imitation of his former character. It was still good though
What I loved about this is how it sets the timeline of this universe to show why we never saw Kim because she left Jimmy’s life right before Walt enters the story.
Let’s not forget - Saul helped Walt poison Brock, Saul introduced Todd to their operation, Saul told Walt to put Jesse down like “old yeller.” Saul was every part as instrumental in destroying Jesse’s life as anyone else was. Kim could’ve warned Jesse to stay away from Saul, but didn’t. A small glimpse of her days as a public defender come through here, but she doesn’t muster herself to protect this young kid. In the end, they both became broken shells of themselves.
@@akilkotamarti1000 I think the next episode will reveal that it was Saul personally who poisoned Brock with the flower of the valley after being instructed by Walt . since Brock never recognized Walter when he met him later that means someone else poisoned him in school . this revelation will make us happy when he gets locked up in the very end
I love seeing this as a kind of passing the torch moment. Kim has experienced the worst with the shows protagonist. Jesse just a few days away from starting his painful journey with Walter
This is 2004, because in 2010, Gene said he hadn't seen her for 6 years. This is the first time he met Saul, he got his friend off Scott free here and is also why Jesse tells Walter to see Saul in Breaking Bad.
Aaron Paul really looks and sounds like good ol high af Jesse here! I can understand El Camino, but the last episode had me concerned he may have gotten too old for it. Nope, he still got IT yo! It's almost like dream having him talk to Kim, and Emilio is the cherry on top.
I think they did this so he would look MORE young and stand out. In the previous episode it was 3.5 years later or so during breaking bad season 2 - so reserving the younger voice and look for this episode was smart. Makes the comparison more drast having him look older in the previous episode.
@@Hanson032 Schnauz is great too :( But I do have a feeling they did some last second audio mixing to raise the pitch of Aaron's voice like it used to be. There had been a lot of talk about his "Batman" voice in the last episode. If that's the case, I hope they can change that too.
jesse is so sweet and friendly here, i know aaron caught some shade from folks who thought his scene with walter last episode wasn't quite on the money but i thought that it made sense for Jesse to be quieter and deferential to walt there, especially so early in their relationship. this jesse reminds me of why i love this character, he's so warm with people and kind of goofy but good-hearted. shout out to vince for making me feel the tragedy of Jesse Pinkman all over again, you absolute madlad
Love how Jesse is always so insightful. He might look and talk like all the low lifes that Saul appeals to, but he is capable to question Goodman's tacky commercial strategies. Another foreshadowing that Jesse is too good for getting in the game.
@@c_telking4433 Nobody said he acted at the level of Breaking Bad, nor should he have. He just said that he did a Good Job, and yes he did a good job, bringing young Jesse Pinkman back.
"This dude got Emilio off twice. Both times, they had him dead to rights, then poof; Dude's like Houdini. When the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a 'criminal' lawyer." - Jesse Pinkman talking to Walt, BB season 2 episode 8 Even before this episode came out, we can infer that Jesse was partners with Emilio in one of those occasions that he was charged with serious allegations. Since Jesse also stated that he never personally met Saul (before they kidnapped him) the writers made sure that he would be outside of the office to maintain continuity, and in this moment, Jesse has no incentive to speak with Goodman, so it makes sense on both fronts why he would be outside of his office. Kim meeting Jesse also provides contrast in how similar how they functioned throughout BB and BCS. They both broke bad because of the respective protagonists, but they didn't stoop to their level. They knew when it was time to leave and become better people, they're the prodigals of this universe. This scene was brilliantly handled, and is a testament on how to properly execute well-made fan service. Bravo Bince 👏.
I definitely disagree about the “not stooping to their level” thing Something I noticed is that Kim became just as bad if not worse than Saul in the later seasons of the show. She was the one who completely torched her association with Mesa Verde, and the show made it clear that she was the true mastermind of their plan to destroy Howard But she had the courage to leave that life and try to become a better person. Saul only dug himself deeper to escape from the pain and shame that he felt every day. See that right there is her biggest similarity with Jesse. They both were able to leave before it changed them permanently
This episode may be the most tragic I've seen in a very, very long time. It proves that Chuck was right all along. It proves that Jimmy is a good person underneath, who can't help but abuse his power as Saul Goodman. He ruined so, so many lives, and is sociopathic enough to block off his remorse
At the same time, it also shows how similar the two are. The act Jimmy puts on when signing his divorce papers is basically his version of Chuck’s “You never really mattered all that much to me”
It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy. Chuck kept telling Jimmy what a horrible person he is and shouldn't be surprised that it came true. It's a very important lesson that the words you say to loved ones can have an extremely profound impact on them.
@@ashyslashy22 lol, he didn't contribute shit, he got him out of jail, gave him a mailroom job, he just didn't give him a lawyer job that Jimmy wasn't qualified for.
Nobody mentions this but I think it's also pretty cool to see how Kim meets Emilio. He was working with Krazy 8, who was working for Nacho who was working for the Salamancas and later on got replaced by Tuco, who is directly related to Lalo and was still in prison because of Mike. It's like all things come together in this scene. Everything in the past what happened to Kim and Saul with Lalo etc and everything what will happen to Jesse and Saul/Gene in the future comes togehter. This series has such good writing, it's unbelievable.
I love this scene because it depicts the two redeemed characters in this show's universe. Kim's journey has just ended, while Jesse is about to begin his own descent into pain and suffering. Kim is calm and reserved. Jesse is boisterous and energetic. Ultimately, they'll both end up broken because of their trust in their partner.
This is how you do fan service right. No overdoing it, just two people who don't know each other meeting each other and having a conversation, nothing grand, and it makes it feel more real, and it's honestly the best scene of the season so far.
@@jakenolan5897 nigga are you stupid? 3:30 Jesse is smoking a LIT CIGARETTE.... in the rain? Think about that 🤔 and how did this comment get so many likes when it's completely wrong? lol
Like what? It's been a while since I've seen all previous seasons. All I could think of is Howard and Lalo, leaving and molding Saul Goodman in the process, and what else???
@@dylanfuentes2034 Jesse would’ve learned that anyways because of how cleanly Saul was able to defend Emilio. This conversation mainly serves to contrast Kim’s guilt and corruption against Jesse’s naivety and relative innocence. She’d be more than glad to vouch for Jimmy had she not just seen how jaded he’d become.
I love how they have Jesse wearing yellow again, the good old days 💛 gonna miss him 😭 I want there to be another prequel (I heard Gus might have one) but I don’t want them to drag it out.. I’m torn
@Alex F I hope to see Kuby, Skinny Pete & Badger next episode if anything 🤞🏼🤞🏼they’re gonna save Walt for the last episode with the scene by himself to conclude the end of the series but I’m curious how Walt will tie in with the Saul/Gene story but I honestly don’t see there being another Saul/gene spin-off I think this is it. Only thing I could see happening is there being a prequel called “Los pollos” for Gus but we’ll see how that plays out. I’m just grateful to have seen Walt & Jesse one last time together 💙💙
People have just forgotten Breaking Bad. They had this iconic season 1 Jesse in their minds. 6x11 Jesse’s energy was the exact same as where he was in the story then
I mean everyone who knows the drill pretty much called that they were gonna wrap everything up by mid-season and spend the remainder of the show reprising roles of fan favorites and dragging out the gene story
If I’m not mistaken we have one more scene with Bryan Cranston. I’m sincerely hoping that we get to see how Walter convinced Saul to help him poison Brock. This scene shows two people who will inevitably regret their actions. The other showcases their respective partners at their most evil.
I was thinking as they were being transported or about to be transported by the vacuum guy. We could see an extra scene, where we see both eras of two peoples lives ending and them knowing that it's their last moment together, they share their regrets, their past, what they would've done differently aaand Possibly more.
I think also that last scene between Walt & Jesse and Saul, was in the same night or the next night of robbing that facility of their methylamine where Walt used Thermite. They were both extremely exhausted after that since they had to carry that heavy ass barrel and not get caught
@@PolishGod1234 Rhea Seehorn...that crying scene is so powerful and alone makes this episode the best in my opinion. The others you mentioned are great as well.
@@Medo-xq8od i agree, but in my opinion still nothing beats the last phone call in Ozymandias, when Walt tries to sound intimidating yet can't stop the tears coming from his eyes.
The way the lighting is used to illuminate the rain at 3:24, it makes it nearly invisible in Kim's part of the frame. Meanwhile, you can see it continue to pour around Jesse. One side leaving the storm behind and the other right under it, unaware of everything to come.
" All on the fact of a funny tv commercial, no I mean c'mon, how is this any different, y'know" That really sums up the Saul Goodman character by this point in time. Kim's final line "When I knew him he was" says it all, there's nothing left for her in the man she once loved. Gene's actions in the previous episode only cemented that, in the end, he is a conman at heart who just can't help himself when things go bad and ends up hurting everyone around him (including people like Jeff and Marion). No matter how charming and charismatic he may be, Kim knows Jimmy better than anyone. All she can do know is do right by the actions of his she could take at least some of the responsibility for, even with how painful it is for her to open up those wounds again. I truly have no idea what is going to happen in the final episode and I genuinely hope that Jimmy's end isn't all bad. But everything Better Call Saul has indicated suggests if not outright says Jimmy is a man who's never been able to truly change who he is at his core and by this point is almost beyond any kind of redemption period, even when compared to morally worse individuals like Walter White. Sad as the ending may be, I have nothing but respect for the gutsy direction the show has taken. It takes bravery to take this in such a morally ambiguous direction for what was once a seemingly lighthearted character and it takes great skill to do it so masterfully. Bravo Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. Also just to address it briefly, I don't think Jesse's appearance is cheap fan service. Any other junkie could have said his lines and it would have made perfect sense and Kim would have reacted exactly the same. The choice to use Jesse just gives the whole scene an extra layer of sadness and nuance because it's a character we already know about, including just how broken he would be by the end of his own series. It's a choice that's harmless, doesn't break what's established, and only serves to strengthen this great scene in Vince Gilligans sendoff to the universe he created. - End
I agree with everything you said besides this being a sendoff, I doubt AMC will let a franchise as unequivocally famous as the BrBa universe is die with only 2 TV series, a movie, and whatever the fuck slippin jimmy is suppose to be. They are definitely going to make more spin-offs, hopefully with the quality of the former rather then the latter.
When Jesse said " I need a lawyer would it be the best that I better call Saul?" And then Kim replied that "Only if you're breaking bad." That was on of the moments of the show for me. Truly a masterpiece in entertainment. Bravo Vince
Seeing Walt and Jesse in the previous episode didn't really do much to me for some reason, but this scene made me have a big ass grin on my face. It's so great to see these two interact.
Interesting how this scene is technically both Jessie’s last appearance in the show(s), and his first appearance chronologically, as this was 2-3 years before he partnered with Walt.
This is probably the last time we'll ever see Jesse Pinkman. Cranston said they each did a scene by themselves and one together. We saw them together in 11, here's Jesse, we probably will get a solo scene of Walt in the finale. Thank you Aaron Paul.

This episode was so heartbreaking. On two occasions we saw Gene about to take a step into somewhere he could never return, which was physically hurt someone and possibly kill them and that isn’t him… BUT we saw how he can emotionally hurt people. It was the perfect summation to who he is, and he can’t change his nature. This episode was amazing, and it’s gonna conclude to a depressing ending.
"You hurt people. Over and over and over. And then there's this show of remorse."
"In the end, you're going to hurt everyone around you."
@@TheMuffinMan540 It all comes full circle. He can’t help himself.
He's going to take Kim's life in the next episode. Either deliberately or in the heat of passion for turning him in.

Jimmy will win. Saul will indeed he all gone, leaving the once suppressed Jimmy back- proving Chuck wrong. See, I don’t think the writers agree with Chuck. I think they’re willing to indulge Chuck to the bitter end, but I think they ultimately reject his thesis. Walt changed at the end. Not perfectly, but he made things right as much as he could in Felina. Jesse changed. Jimmy will change.
This took me back to the first time I ever saw the pilot of Breaking Bad, back in middle school…memories. Out of all the characters to meet Kim I thought Jesse would be the least likely, but here it is.
I thought he would make the most sense since she was a pro bono and maybe she would represent him at some point.
SWIM WITH ME INTOOOO YOUR BLACKEST EEEEEEYES
makes 0 sense he is literally the one involved in crimes early and had buddies in crime, idk how you can come to that conclusion he wouldnt be the one to meet kim lmao
@@IdoesRagequit “since she was a pro bono and maybe she would represent him at some point” Hmm, so now I’m hoping that Kim would meet up with Jesse again someday in Alaska and help clear his name with the DEA, allowing Jesse to come back home to his family one day.
I think Jesse in this scene is 19 years old.
This felt like a crossover event in the best way possible. This scene was funny, endearing, and deeply sad all at once, and the rainy weather (a first for either show) made it feel all the more surreal and dreamlike.
waterworks
ONLY because it's Arron Paul, who was in "Bojack"... "What is this? A crossover episode!?" :D
There was one other time with rain with the intro of 6x03 with the glass shard, but yes this scene was done very well
Wait, there are no rain scenes in breaking bad??
It had already rained during the first Something Stupid montage and in the flashforward of Nacho's grave.
Hearing Combo’s name again was crazy. His death literally set of an insane chain of events.
"This guy...you think I better call Saul?"
"Only if you're planning on breaking bad."
"El Camino...bitch."

I love the purpose of this scene. Not simply fan service, but to show just how detached from Jimmy Kim really is. She has to listen to someone else's perspective on the man she loved, and the perspective is that this guy will go to any length to defend someone who should be serving serious time for a serious offense. He's so widely known for his immorality, it's like her wake up call, the one she didn't accept when Howard confronted her about Jimmy smashing his car with bowling balls or sending prostitutes to his lunch meeting. The whole scene with Jesse is as though she's standing there realizing for the first time that she should have listened.

This is likely the last appearance of Jesse in the entire BB universe (unless they actually do go through with another installment of the show). And in a way I feel like it fits. Like other commenters have mentioned, it’s like one person is about to leave the life and another is about to enter. And they are both the deuteragonists.

@@daytimelantern6570 i like to believe that jesse was just tired/lost his voice from screaming at saul in the desert, plus it was nighttime.
@@daytimelantern6570 Maybe it had to do with the fact that he was exhausted from having to bring Saul in the middle of the dessert with Walt in the middle of the night. thus, why he sounded a bit depressing in the 11th episode.
You can tell they did it at night so his face couldn't be fully seen.
Two characters the showrunners had no big plans for at the start of each series, yet they both became vital to the shows. The hearts.
It is established as canon in season 1, episode 2 that Jesse is a BIG fan of "MILF's". You think a junkie just happens to bum a cigarette off Kim like that? No, he planned it, it was Jesse. He killed a dog!
Why you said canon as if there is fillers in breaking bad and better call saul, it's not anime based on japanese comic yo, all is canon

“Jesse is a BIG fan of ‘MILF’s’” Come to think of it, I’m surprised that Jesse never hooked up with Skyler to cuck Walt and get back at him.

What I loved about this is how it sets the timeline of this universe to show why we never saw Kim because she left Jimmy’s life right before Walt enters the story.
Jimmy lost Kim and found Walt, a much needed distraction and project
duh bro, thats what everyone was expecting since season 1😐
3:25 Jesse standing under the light while Kim just walks into a raining darkness. Awesome cinematography.
That shot always looked cool to me
With that cigarette she unintentionally passed a torch of suffering and pain on to Pinkman. Wow
Let’s not forget - Saul helped Walt poison Brock, Saul introduced Todd to their operation, Saul told Walt to put Jesse down like “old yeller.” Saul was every part as instrumental in destroying Jesse’s life as anyone else was. Kim could’ve warned Jesse to stay away from Saul, but didn’t. A small glimpse of her days as a public defender come through here, but she doesn’t muster herself to protect this young kid. In the end, they both became broken shells of themselves.
👏
At this point, she didn't really know how bad Jimmy was and how bad he would become.
Saul didn't know Walt was going to poison Brock, all he did was have Huell steal the ricin cigarette, which wasn't even what poisoned Brock.
@@akilkotamarti1000 I think the next episode will reveal that it was Saul personally who poisoned Brock with the flower of the valley after being instructed by Walt .
since Brock never recognized Walter when he met him later that means someone else poisoned him in school .

I love seeing this as a kind of passing the torch moment. Kim has experienced the worst with the shows protagonist. Jesse just a few days away from starting his painful journey with Walter

This is 2004, because in 2010, Gene said he hadn't seen her for 6 years. This is the first time he met Saul, he got his friend off Scott free here and is also why Jesse tells Walter to see Saul in Breaking Bad.
Aaron Paul really looks and sounds like good ol high af Jesse here! I can understand El Camino, but the last episode had me concerned he may have gotten too old for it. Nope, he still got IT yo!
It's almost like dream having him talk to Kim, and Emilio is the cherry on top.
Yeah, I guess it took Vince directing for it to happen lol
@@Hanson032 didn’t vince direct el camino?
I think they did this so he would look MORE young and stand out. In the previous episode it was 3.5 years later or so during breaking bad season 2 - so reserving the younger voice and look for this episode was smart. Makes the comparison more drast having him look older in the previous episode.
@@Hanson032 Schnauz is great too :( But I do have a feeling they did some last second audio mixing to raise the pitch of Aaron's voice like it used to be. There had been a lot of talk about his "Batman" voice in the last episode. If that's the case, I hope they can change that too.
Like how Jesse Plemons was 80 pounds overweight, Aaron Paul was just 20-30 pounds overweight for the role in El Camino.
jesse is so sweet and friendly here, i know aaron caught some shade from folks who thought his scene with walter last episode wasn't quite on the money but i thought that it made sense for Jesse to be quieter and deferential to walt there, especially so early in their relationship. this jesse reminds me of why i love this character, he's so warm with people and kind of goofy but good-hearted. shout out to vince for making me feel the tragedy of Jesse Pinkman all over again, you absolute madlad
Love how Jesse is always so insightful. He might look and talk like all the low lifes that Saul appeals to, but he is capable to question Goodman's tacky commercial strategies. Another foreshadowing that Jesse is too good for getting in the game.
this may just be the greatest episode of television i’ve ever watched.

"This dude got Emilio off twice. Both times, they had him dead to rights, then poof; Dude's like Houdini. When the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a 'criminal' lawyer." - Jesse Pinkman talking to Walt, BB season 2 episode 8
Even before this episode came out, we can infer that Jesse was partners with Emilio in one of those occasions that he was charged with serious allegations. Since Jesse also stated that he never personally met Saul (before they kidnapped him) the writers made sure that he would be outside of the office to maintain continuity, and in this moment, Jesse has no incentive to speak with Goodman, so it makes sense on both fronts why he would be outside of his office.
Kim meeting Jesse also provides contrast in how similar how they functioned throughout BB and BCS. They both broke bad because of the respective protagonists, but they didn't stoop to their level. They knew when it was time to leave and become better people, they're the prodigals of this universe.
This scene was brilliantly handled, and is a testament on how to properly execute well-made fan service. Bravo Bince 👏.
I agree
Underrated comment
@@noahn4336 Thank you very much!
i mean idk about the stoop to their level part. scamming howard was her idea and saul was hesitant at the start so all that is on her tbh
I definitely disagree about the “not stooping to their level” thing
Something I noticed is that Kim became just as bad if not worse than Saul in the later seasons of the show. She was the one who completely torched her association with Mesa Verde, and the show made it clear that she was the true mastermind of their plan to destroy Howard
But she had the courage to leave that life and try to become a better person. Saul only dug himself deeper to escape from the pain and shame that he felt every day.
See that right there is her biggest similarity with Jesse. They both were able to leave before it changed them permanently
This depiction of young Jesse is perfect. The previous cameo was servicable but this is as good as it gets for aging Aaron Paul, nailed it.
Aaron Paul channeled season 1 pinkman perfectly 14 years later. That's impressive.
This episode may be the most tragic I've seen in a very, very long time. It proves that Chuck was right all along. It proves that Jimmy is a good person underneath, who can't help but abuse his power as Saul Goodman. He ruined so, so many lives, and is sociopathic enough to block off his remorse
It's hard to believe Chuck and Jesse appear in the same show. Better Call Saul S1-3 felt so different from Breaking Bad.
Yeah but that doesn’t change the fact that Chuck actively contributed to Jimmy’s road to becoming Saul Goodman by sabotaging him at every turn.
At the same time, it also shows how similar the two are. The act Jimmy puts on when signing his divorce papers is basically his version of Chuck’s “You never really mattered all that much to me”
It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Chuck kept telling Jimmy what a horrible person he is and shouldn't be surprised that it came true. It's a very important lesson that the words you say to loved ones can have an extremely profound impact on them.
@@ashyslashy22 lol, he didn't contribute shit, he got him out of jail, gave him a mailroom job, he just didn't give him a lawyer job that Jimmy wasn't qualified for.
I think this is the earliest we’ve seen Jesse in the timeline. Before he (re)met Walter White.
Nobody mentions this but I think it's also pretty cool to see how Kim meets Emilio. He was working with Krazy 8, who was working for Nacho who was working for the Salamancas and later on got replaced by Tuco, who is directly related to Lalo and was still in prison because of Mike. It's like all things come together in this scene. Everything in the past what happened to Kim and Saul with Lalo etc and everything what will happen to Jesse and Saul/Gene in the future comes togehter.
This series has such good writing, it's unbelievable.
this is my favorite scene from the show so far. so unexpected and cool to see
I love this scene because it depicts the two redeemed characters in this show's universe. Kim's journey has just ended, while Jesse is about to begin his own descent into pain and suffering. Kim is calm and reserved. Jesse is boisterous and energetic. Ultimately, they'll both end up broken because of their trust in their partner.
This is how you do fan service right. No overdoing it, just two people who don't know each other meeting each other and having a conversation, nothing grand, and it makes it feel more real, and it's honestly the best scene of the season so far.

Saul didn't know about the poisoning until after it was done.

Aaron Paul does a much better season 1-2 Jesse this episode than the last one. His mannerisms were spot on, where last episode it felt kind of forced.
Agreed
To be fair, he has more lines here. Plus, his funky street clothes here help sell it.
Could be just him tired digging that damn grave
I think also that last scene between Walt & Jesse and Saul, was in the same night or the next night of robbing that facility of their methylamine where Walt used Thermite. They were both extremely exhausted after that since they had to carry that heavy ass barrel and not get caught

It's amazing how this almost feels like passing the torch onto a character from a show made looong before this one was finished.
Aaron's acting in this scene is so good you can actually believe it was filmed back in 2007. It was just perfect.
" All on the fact of a funny tv commercial, no I mean c'mon, how is this any different, y'know"
That really sums up the Saul Goodman character by this point in time. Kim's final line "When I knew him he was" says it all, there's nothing left for her in the man she once loved. Gene's actions in the previous episode only cemented that, in the end, he is a conman at heart who just can't help himself when things go bad and ends up hurting everyone around him (including people like Jeff and Marion). No matter how charming and charismatic he may be, Kim knows Jimmy better than anyone. All she can do know is do right by the actions of his she could take at least some of the responsibility for, even with how painful it is for her to open up those wounds again.
I truly have no idea what is going to happen in the final episode and I genuinely hope that Jimmy's end isn't all bad. But everything Better Call Saul has indicated suggests if not outright says Jimmy is a man who's never been able to truly change who he is at his core and by this point is almost beyond any kind of redemption period, even when compared to morally worse individuals like Walter White. Sad as the ending may be, I have nothing but respect for the gutsy direction the show has taken. It takes bravery to take this in such a morally ambiguous direction for what was once a seemingly lighthearted character and it takes great skill to do it so masterfully. Bravo Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.
Also just to address it briefly, I don't think Jesse's appearance is cheap fan service. Any other junkie could have said his lines and it would have made perfect sense and Kim would have reacted exactly the same. The choice to use Jesse just gives the whole scene an extra layer of sadness and nuance because it's a character we already know about, including just how broken he would be by the end of his own series. It's a choice that's harmless, doesn't break what's established, and only serves to strengthen this great scene in Vince Gilligans sendoff to the universe he created.
- End
Kim was leaving behind the past while the future was about to hit Jesse
@@robertbryant3252 The future about to hit Jesse… couldn’t have said it better myself. Truly ominous how Walt’s shadow looms over both of these shows.
I agree with everything you said besides this being a sendoff, I doubt AMC will let a franchise as unequivocally famous as the BrBa universe is die with only 2 TV series, a movie, and whatever the fuck slippin jimmy is suppose to be. They are definitely going to make more spin-offs, hopefully with the quality of the former rather then the latter.
- End? lol wow your little essay isnt that epic take it down a notch
@@Petey0707 just felt abrupt without it, nothing fancy lol
This explains how Emilio was released, and Jesse was suprised to see him at Krazy 8 house when he brought the crystals over.
When Jesse said " I need a lawyer would it be the best that I better call Saul?" And then Kim replied that "Only if you're breaking bad." That was on of the moments of the show for me. Truly a masterpiece in entertainment.
Bravo Vince
You tried
I laugh so hard when Jesse tells the story about old baby jesus, on the other side im really sad about Kim.
That feels like season 1 Pinkman
Seeing Walt and Jesse in the previous episode didn't really do much to me for some reason, but this scene made me have a big ass grin on my face. It's so great to see these two interact.
Interesting how this scene is technically both Jessie’s last appearance in the show(s), and his first appearance chronologically, as this was 2-3 years before he partnered with Walt.
This is probably the last time we'll ever see Jesse Pinkman. Cranston said they each did a scene by themselves and one together. We saw them together in 11, here's Jesse, we probably will get a solo scene of Walt in the finale. Thank you Aaron Paul.
Good, he sucked on this show.
Goddam it, I didn't realize how much I missed Jesse in my life... Also didn't realize how much I needed a Kim and Jesse scene.
"Well, not a Real baby....."
lol! I'm so glad Jesse clarified that. I would've been worried.
That has to be one of the most significant scene ever put on film. Perfect intersection. This is masterclass level. Peace out!
These 2 shows man... what a time to be alive! Best shows ever made, change my mind!
