I think this might be true from the perspective of Cliff Main; I'm not sure if the writers share that sentiment. There's no reason but personal propriety for the ends not to justify the means in this case, and I think Jimmy's whole plan was designed to actually speak to the needs of his clients in a sincere enough way that it could be called noble. Whatever social faux pas he might've committed by upsetting Cliff Main co-exists with that sincerity and personal investment. I think the part the writers are more interested in is the fact that Jimmy cannot help himself in some way, like flicking that switch that says not to flick it. There's not much sense that Jimmy just airs it because he knows Cliff won't say yes to it; it feels like he hasn't even bothered to picture what might happen. Instead it's more like there is this part of his brain that will never stick to the rules.

2024-12-24 03:42:15 +0000 UTCJust want to chime in about the sentiment in your discussion about Jimmy's ad...basically that the only thing that Jimmy did wrong was run it without their permission and that there was nothing wrong with the ad itself. I don't think you said those exact words but it was along those lines. The example ad that we saw from Davis and Maine was boring, yes, but 100% professional, which is the image they want to cultivate. Jimmy's ad, while not over-the-top like his later Saul Goodman ads we see in Breaking Bad, is still a dramatic emotional appeal (bordering on emotional manipulation) that D&M consider beneath them, and they would never run it. I think that deep down, Jimmy actually does understand this. If he thought they would be OK with it, he would have waited to clear it with them before running it. Kim has the same instincts: when she sees the ad she's impressed that Jimmy made it and thinks it will get good results, but she seems a little surprised when Jimmy confirms that he got it approved. The reality is that Jimmy knew it wasn't the kind of thing D&M would like...he just hoped that it would be effective enough that the results would win them over. The ad was extremely effective, and 100% legal, but to D&M, that's not the point. Their reputation isn't Jimmy's to play with. We might wish, for Jimmy's sake, that they would be more interested in the results than how the commercial makes them look, but their priorities aren't unreasonable.

2024-12-23 05:06:23 +0000 UTCJust to continue my idea from the other post: "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. McGill" is a reference to the famous line "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille" from the classic film noir Sunset Boulevard (1950).

2024-12-22 01:55:15 +0000 UTCSo the Easter egg in this episode is the “spinning pig” toy Mike got for Kaylee. In Breaking Bad, Mike hung that toy on Chow’s door when Lydia was trying to have him assassinated. Mike used the log as a distraction as he snuck in through the back of chow’s house.
