It just felt like such a foreign turn, out of noooowhere when Jimmy first said to him ‘I know what you want…to be a player like me right? One of the big boys?’
And he replied like ‘….yeah, that’s all I want 🥺’
I may need to watch the first 2 of the cab drivers scenes from the older season openings but I swear that was not the implication
The two different actors with two different takes seems like the issue to me. Jeff seems high as a kite the first time and the second time is all Jimmy projecting.
It's not like there's a deep character here to veer from. The performance is different.
I did NOT get that sense from his first two appearances
That last appearance was sooo sinister and this one he’s running around a field saying ‘is this reaaallly how I be a player like you, boss?’ 😭
I kinda admire the sheer audacity of throwing this episode in at this point but I did not get much from it on first viewing
First meeting was sinister but you gotta remember this is SAUL GOODMAN. DON’T LET THESE MFERS FORGET. I think Jeff becoming more of a “dweeb” is more so Saul letting himself remember he is that guy, he runs the game. Tracking down Jeff’s mom like that and having her in his back pocket too. Saul Goodman is alive and well, Jimmy seems to be gone for now.
I love how deep in f***ing WHERE ARE WE territory we are getting though
Like imagine ‘oh cool a breaking bad prequel show’ people in 2015 seeing this. We are in so deep in Jimmy’s whole life arc at this point
Just waiting for my girl to go to sleep so I can watch this in peace with full attention

He’s ready for this to go down as a divisive one
they pouring up right now knowing they got the divisive episode out of the way. The next three's gonna make it work.
Better Call Mid
!https://youtu.be/WwX3Sw3zhEsI thought he wasn’t watching anymore
The way Gene was leaning more and more into a Saul type body language and demeanour as he kept going in and giving the cinnabon
Is there anything that needs to be wrapped up at this point?
Like with some shows as it comes down to the wire you see people like ‘we have 3 more episodes left and (this) plotline, (this) plotline (this) plotline and (this) plotline need to be wrapped up’ and it feels like an impossible thing
We kinda have all we need and the rest is completely up in the air
Only thing is knowing that Walt/Jessie show up somewhere because they already announced that
I don’t really get where she hulk is going to come into all this but I trust Vince to pull it off

She hulk?

the next episodes should show what Gene is building towards with his scamming
Gene really a grinder man
Bro have a whole bag of diamonds and still working
Jeff spin-off gonna be insane man
His first taste of crime and now he can’t stop
