2025-02-24 18:35:33 +0000 UTCLove this!! Yeah the comments are pretty much exclusively on YT, not here haha but this comment is great! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-24 18:35:20 +0000 UTCAgreed!! He's incredible and that scene was anxiety inducing! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-24 18:34:33 +0000 UTCI can definitely see that! It just felt like he already kind of "got'em" and that might have been a little far, but more to come haha -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-24 18:34:05 +0000 UTCSo intense!!!! Don’t know how TBR and Sam survived that toss! 😂

Julian San
2025-02-21 06:50:33 +0000 UTCI have just been thinking about that character, and he's the one with the Saul Effect here. I could've sworn he was in almost all of the show, and it's dawning on me now how much less of the show he's actually in.

2025-02-21 03:31:42 +0000 UTCWe don't KNOW that the the guy Jimmy got the $700 bucks from was a drug dealer, just that he was most likely a criminal of some sort. But consider where Jimmy started, S-1 E-1. He was defending 3 kids who snuck into a morgue and decapitated a head, also for $700, yet he put in weeks of work to get the same 700. You mentioned that some of your followers hate Jimmy, think he's bad off the bat. I haven't read those, but I'll comment on it anyway, lol. Walter White was a good man who became a villain. OR, a pussy who became a strong man, but the only way he knew to do that was by becoming a villain. The tragedy of Jimmy McGill is that he was a bad kid trying to become a good man. But the world just won't let him be a good man. His own brother stands in his way constantly, and Howard as well. He takes a leap of faith at Davis & Main to make a commercial, that succeeds, and is then forced to obey that annoying lady lawyer much his junior. Every time he tries to do good he's rewarded with punishment. In the end, he goes back to being bad because it's the only place the world has ever allowed him to succeed. It's tragic. It's MacBeth. It's Hamlet.

2025-02-21 03:11:16 +0000 UTCI think I know who you are referring to. I am looking forward to that character also.
Jen Barnes
2025-02-21 03:04:25 +0000 UTCYou have yet to meet my favorite fantastic character in series full of fantastic characters, so I'll shut up, lol. That said, Nacho is terrific.
Jeff
2025-02-21 02:56:50 +0000 UTCIn a series full of fantastic characters, Nacho is my absolute favorite. What an amazing actor. I was dreading watching that pill scene again. It was SO stressful!
Jen Barnes
2025-02-20 23:35:15 +0000 UTCIt’s a matter of opinion but I’m not sure Jimmy’s threat of a class action lawsuit during community service was “unnecessary”. He can’t practice law and needs money in the worst way so sure, he’s going to take opportunities like this for an easy $700. Sure, he can get a job at a car wash or something for money, so it’s unnecessary from that standpoint 🙂 I understand he already scored at the music store, but I’m sure he has other expenses. And if the twins at the music store had it coming because they were jerks, the guy running community service was certainly painted as being high and mighty, so you can argue he had it coming as well.

2025-02-19 21:03:31 +0000 UTCAll fair points. All that we see is that Mike spends some time outside her house and doesn't uncover any evidence. I admit that during my first viewing I thought she might have been scamming him. But on this second viewing it occurred to me that she might be suffering from symptoms of PTSD. She also has no idea of Mike's illegal income at that point. She thinks he just works the parking booth Not much scam value there. Unless he has a massive savings nest from his time as a policeman.

2025-02-19 19:53:55 +0000 UTCGlad I'm not the only one who watched the outro and did a double-take. The coin-stash Band-Aid tin that Saul snags on his way out the door of the family convenience store made a little appearance in the very first episode of the show. When Cinnabon-era Jimmy gets home, he pulls a VHS tape of his commercials out of a box hidden in his closet and starts watching them, and the Band-Aid container is in there with the tape. Also, I made a post in the Discord of an image someone got autographed during a recent Bob Odenkirk signing. You should check it out if you haven't seen it yet, since the joke came up again in these two episodes.

2025-02-19 19:19:23 +0000 UTCI think the thing about ambiguity is that something merely being possible isn't actually ambiguity. There has to at least be a hint of it, and I don't think there's any hint that Stacey would ever manipulate Mike. She simply feels unsafe in the neighborhood she was in and it's taking a toll on her. (The neighborhood does look a little sketchy when you see the rundown quality of the backyard in the flashback in season 1 where Mike is visiting their house for the first time, although they don't really show anything to make it seem worse than that.) I Googled to check Stacey's name to write this comment and I saw a Reddit thread at the top about how awful she is. It's like some "Breaking Bad" fans heard the complaints that they were being too hard on Skylar and decided to double down on someone who isn't even doing crimes!
Tyler Foster
2025-02-19 19:14:52 +0000 UTCI was thinking the exact same thing. What a way to phrase it...
Tyler Foster
2025-02-19 19:11:01 +0000 UTCMike's a smart detective, and I admit I also sort of thought the same thing, but as Dan and Sam observe in the reaction, it makes sense that Mike could get the information on where the Samaritan was (approximately, anyway) from Nacho, whereas the widow's hiker would be a stone-cold mystery like it is to her.
Tyler Foster
2025-02-19 19:10:47 +0000 UTCEek! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 18:04:42 +0000 UTCOh I could see how that could be confusing! It would be so nice for the church lady to get some closure! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 18:04:37 +0000 UTCOpe! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 18:03:53 +0000 UTCYes, agreed!! I think she thinks it's real! LOL some of the YT comments are wild! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 18:03:44 +0000 UTCYeah I'm with Marcus, I could never! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 17:56:58 +0000 UTCAnxiety inducing! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2025-02-19 17:56:46 +0000 UTCyeah insane.. but mum's the word..

2025-02-19 17:37:03 +0000 UTCOh wow, I have to bite my lip here to one specific thing that was said during the discussion.. omg xD
24fps_
2025-02-19 17:33:58 +0000 UTCSam's outro discussion specifically caught my ears. Can't wait for the next 2 reactions!!
Mike Medaugh
2025-02-19 14:33:06 +0000 UTCWhen I first watched the series, I thought the body Mike found was the lady's husband from 8 years ago. However, you guys are right and I think it is the good samaritan that the cartel killed after Mike robbed the ice cream truck. Put the scene where Jimmy is trying to start his car in the back of your memory for future reference. I'm glad you both enjoy the time-lapse compilation shots. They do them so well.
Mike Medaugh
2025-02-19 14:23:27 +0000 UTCOh man. There's so many things I want to say, but I have to wait until after the next couple of episodes. Ha. I can't wait to watch!
TGrimace
2025-02-19 07:47:43 +0000 UTCI'm still ambivalent on whether Mike's daughter in law was deliberately manipulating him. We definitely see that the gunshots that she talked about weren't really happening, but it's still a possibility that she thinks it was happening. This show does such a great job of laying down ambiguity between different characters points of view. Edit: yeah, screw the YouTube comments. People are wilding out on there. My theory is that this show taps into family drama for some people and they project their own family members onto the characters. But whatever it is, those people need to get a grip.
Marcus Cato
2025-02-19 05:04:49 +0000 UTCAnother great couple episodes. That scene in the taqueria with Nacho switching the pills gives me an anxiety attack.
Marcus Cato
2025-02-19 04:46:33 +0000 UTCI would miss under all that stress no matter how much I practiced.
Marcus Cato
2025-02-19 04:44:17 +0000 UTCHow many tries would it take you to make the pill toss into the pocket?
Will D
2025-02-19 04:08:05 +0000 UTCthat scene when Nacho tosses the pills into Hector's jacket--is SOOO intense, what a nail-biter!!!!
