@@keveardoDamn right. I actually appreciate the fact that we had to watch week to week and wait for the completion of the series. Made you feel more wrapped up in the story and invested in the characters than binging all 5 seasons in a single weekend.
when i was watching the final few episodes for the first time on streaming, i kept pausing certain moments all the time to make the experience last longer, giving myself little cliffhangers
3:13 kim's facial expressions tell such a great story. she admires and respects chuck, but seeing how he dismisses jimmy who's trying to connect with him is very offputting. rhea seehorn did such a kickass job!!!!
Oh wow I never noticed that before, it says a lot about her character that she can immediately recognize faults in someone she really looks up to whereas most people would likely subconsciously dismiss it if someone they aspired to be like said something small and offputting like this and probably forget about it altogether
These types of details are exactly why I try not to do anything else while watching a movie or show I actually care about. You can easily miss stuff that tells you a lot about the characters and their stories if you don't pay full attention
Goes to show too that it wasn’t just chuck who inspired him to get into the Law, Kim’s enthusiasm and dedication to working and studying definitely gave Jimmy the motivation he needed to go for it.
"When you straightened up and got a job in the mail room, I was very proud." -Chuck in S1 E9 Well, in 3:10 we see what this pride really is about; to be able to look down on Jimmy and feel superiority.
That’s it! He never wanted Jimmy on the same level as him no matter what, always looking down on him because in Chuck’s eyes, that’s all Jimmy will be at.
Chuck was jealous that despite his success; Jimmy always seemed to charm people in a way that he couldn’t (including their own mother). Jimmy becoming a small-time grifter that needed to be bailed out of trouble was Chuck’s way of assuring himself that he was “right” about his brother the whole time; and Jimmy was always “wrong”. You’re absolutely right about Chuck subconsciously taking satisfaction in feeling superior…because deep-down he was insecure; and the law gave him the only validation he ever knew.
@@MisterSmith00 Absolutely. Jimmy, with his charm and social wit, could easily make people like him. Chuck, without these social gifts, had to work hard to get to places. And even then what he mostly wins is others' respect but not heart. Deep down Chuck knew this, and thus the resentment towards his brother. I also think Chuck's phrase "the law is sacred" has a lot to do with this resentment - a law degree holds prestige, class and respect, something that Jimmy's shortcuts could and should never get him to. It's a status only for the decent, hard-working people like Chuck. Jimmy unexpectedly passing the bar and reaching this prestigious, "sacred" status blows a major crack in Chuck's world view and self esteem. It's also the starting point of his mental problems.
@@OuQu Chuck has admirers but not friends. Except perhaps Howard and he pushed away even him. His last accusation towards Jimmy (in the end you will heart everyone around you) was as much as confession as an accurate prediction.
I almost forgot how similar Jimmy's path is to Walt's. It's like a midlife crisis spirals out into this quest for power and self-worth. It's time for a rewatch.
Jimmy and Walt are interesting to compare/contrast. Walt is deeply book smart while Jimmy clearly struggles academically. Both of them ended up cultivating a larger-than-life persona but it seems like Jimmy has a lot more empathy for the "working man" while Walt holds immense spite towards "low class" people. Saul Goodman ended up embracing the fact that "real" lawyers would always look down on him while Walt clung to the idea of an unassailable, "A man provides."
I'll be honest I never realized how far back these flashbacks takes place. Honestly is kind of funny how once again Chuck being a bad brother leads to everything. Kim is important to Jimmy becoming a lawyer, but I honestly wonder if Chuck responds better to this joke he doesn't try to become a lawyer.
Chuck could easily answer jokingly something like "Well, technically, Isaacson is our client, but thanks Jimmy for your enthusiasm." and just laugh about it and that's it everyone have a great day. It doesn't require much effort and isn't very different from what he said but the tone would be totally different.
I always interpreted as Jimmy finding his passion for law just so he can connect with Chuck. Imagine working fulltime while studying and passing the bar for years just so you can relate to your big bro
Jimmy saw how Kim admired Chuck for using his law skills to win a hard case and how he was impressed by her law knowledge. When Jimmy finally became a successful lawyer Chuck resented him for that and he bonded with Kim by essentially committing crimes.
Part of me wonders if that really was the first time he started studying law or if he was alreadying doing it and playing dumb to surprise Chuck, Kim, and everyone else.
In comparison it will work your brains in an entertaining way... the screenplay, the story telling, the slow emotional attachment with the characters... you will live them... its a masterpiece... it also closes many plots of BB. Have fun watching...
We never truly understood how much we would miss waiting all day Monday to get to 9pm on AMC for this beautiful masterpiece
Talking from the perspective of a Breaking Bad fan since it first aired on AMC back in 08, I truly miss those days every Sunday night 🥹
Then thinking damn, next Monday is forever away lol.

I felt that joy for the 2 days I binge watched both of these.
That long term joy would have felt amazing!!!

3:11 Watch Kim's face after this line, she is for the first time noticing Chuck is not a good guy nor brother.
Great observation and reaction from her
Goes to show too that it wasn’t just chuck who inspired him to get into the Law, Kim’s enthusiasm and dedication to working and studying definitely gave Jimmy the motivation he needed to go for it.
Kim nerding out over random legal precedents is adorable, as is her blue sweater
This is the exact moment that the monkey entered the gun store.
I WAS SCROLLING WAITING TO FIND THIS COMMENT 😂
This is the moment where the chimp begins his search for an automatic rifle
Chuck is such a lunatic lmaooo

i mean to be fair jimmy did say something pretty stupid, which he should've known was stupid had he been listening to Kim

I like the colors they did whenever they showed Jimmy's past.
Just a blue tint
@@babbisp1whatever tint it may be, the fellow said they liked it.
@@babbisp1yeah but visible blue tint makes everything seemed peaceful
Shows that this is in their German office, bravo Vince.
The colors in the flashback scenes remind me of Breaking Bad season 1

No???
@aborikin2764 Sorry, am I Diddy? Who are you talking to?
Well put.
@@KryptonianChaos1That's a very edgy reference you made.
Nah not really.
This is the moment when this moment became a moment
It's moments like these that are moments for the fans to have a moment
this is the moment when moment this is when
And a good one.
god fans like you are cringe
Bravoment, Peter Goulment.

Jimmy's going to the peaceful and quiet library where he can study in saulitude
this isn't the moment when heisenberg became saul goodman
At least HHM hires people they had what three people in the mail room?
hard to recognize chuck with the room's lighting
Why, because it's not on fire
This is the moment Jimmy entered the library.
jimmy looks like GTA character who gives missions.
I will give my opinion on this later
You could legitimately replace Ken Rosenberg with Saul Goodman in Vice City, keep the dialogue exactly the same and it would fit.
And Tommy is similar to Mike
Walked into the Library like it was the Wardrobe
This is the moment when Slippin Jimmy becomes Jimmy Mcgill
This is so sad, all he wanted to do was make Chuck proud
"and HE gets to be a lawyer?! What a sick joke!''
So Saul became a lawyer because he and Kim did the exact same job at the exact same time in the exact same place and Jimmy wanted to be just like her
‘Howard’s End’ . . . Foreshadowing right under our noses the whole damned time!
This is the moment when everybody wears a blue striped open neck short-sleeved shirt possibly with a closed-fitting sweater in twisted wool.
Yeesh the way she looks at Chuck, no wonder Jimmy was insecure enough to pick up a book.
People in their 40s playing people doing a job for 20 yearolds fits really well the current economy.
This is the exact moment Jimmy became Saulsenberg.
One of the best tv shows!!
This is the moment where Slippin Jimmy became Slippin Jimmy with a Law Degree
The guy who directed this episode gave us Finding Nemo and WALL-E
Underrated scene.
Este es el momento donde jimmy se convierte en el vedercolsol moment
Part of me wonders if that really was the first time he started studying law or if he was alreadying doing it and playing dumb to surprise Chuck, Kim, and everyone else.
This is the moment when evil Jimmy became luas badman
Is this the same law library Jimmy later dedicates to Chuck?
Jorge de guzman was the best friend of Howard salamanca
I heard they even bought their own cemetery plot to share. That's friendship right there.
Bob is the best
MORE!!! WE CRAVE MORE!!
Thanks to chuck
Both Jimmy and Howard became lawyers 😅
I can't rewatch this episode. It's just too much for me. Makes me too bricked up. 😢
I don't think that means what you think it means
🤨📸
Take some laxatives and enjoy the show.
She's so pretty
I still haven't watched Better Call Saul, but I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan.
Pretty slow at first but it gets better. The ending is lame tho imo. The nacho, Mike, Salamanca arch carries the show for the most part.
@@Shorty15c4007Huge cap
If you’re a fan of breaking bad you totally should watch better call saul. I wish I could watch it again for the first time, Its amazing!
In comparison it will work your brains in an entertaining way... the screenplay, the story telling, the slow emotional attachment with the characters... you will live them... its a masterpiece... it also closes many plots of BB. Have fun watching...
In my opinion, Breaking Bad is a near-perfect show, while Better Call Saul IS a perfect show.
I'm sorry, but this scene is so unrealistic. It never ever, not once, took me a month to run an Oscars poll. Ridiculous writing. 🙄
Helloooo
2 views in 1 minute bro fell off
At some point comments like these gotta end, right? They are the same as "First!", just repackaged.
Loll
first heh
This is the moment when HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER?!
