    One of the best scenes in the whole BB/BCS world. Kim Wexler, absolute hurricane.

    Chuck is my favorite character in BB universe. I don't know how Michael McKean and the writers made him so detestable. How can I hate this man more than the Salamancas who are cold blooded killers. Probably because at least they have family values, I partly blame Chuck for how Jimmy turned out.

    Aye it's a strange one. Found myself agreeing with him a lot about Jimmy being the untrustworthy crook he is, and the law being sacred. Yet still hate the * :giggle1:

    Is this that good then?

    I remember watching the first few episodes years ago and wasnt to impressed. Didnt know if it was suppose to be serious or a black comedy.

    But im hearing loads of good things about this now.

    It’s excellent. I would have it on par with Breaking Bad, at the very least.

    Please tell me they're not writing Kim out just like that? What a kick in the balls man, if so.

    Tbh because she’s wasn’t In breaking bad everyone suspected she would be a casualty so they chose to go down the route that the viewer didn’t expect been easy to have her the one being killed than Howard

    Howard being killed seriously threw me.

    Proper “what the * have I just watched?” moment.

    The way Gilligan flipped the script on Howard was nothing short of genius. Hated the smug * for 5 and half seasons, got inside his mind late on to find he’s as * up as the rest of us and actively started rooting for him while he was eviscerating Kim and Saul. Then BOOM! Gone. Incredible TV.

    Yeah that was my feeling, especially with last week's being a top opportunity. If this weeks episode really is how she leaves then she's been sold well short here.

    Kim has been such an integral part of the show for so long it's a shame she went out on such an underwhelming way.
    Unless there's more to learn, can't rule out further info on her given the way this show is edited.

    Did any of you think it was weird how Saul refused to go and do the hit on Fring? I can see the argument that he didn’t want to leave her with Lalo and maybe that’s what it was but there was something about his manner that made it seem like he was literally just chickening out of having to do it himself. Surely he knew if Kim did something like that it would have massive repercussions on her for the rest of her life.

    Maybe I’ve read too much into it though.
