It's so funny Maple is saying what all of us were thinking when we watched this episode...why on earth is Kim with him. Kinda a bit similar to Devon and Ricken's relationship although they're different nuances to it

Huel took wedding photos with a disposable camera lol. I’m sure there’s no message in that…

I don't know man, it might be what you were thinking but Maple very rarely says what I'm thinking ^^' I think it's pretty obvious, Kim just loves Jimmy, and wants to be with him, and she thinks getting married is gonna make that easier. Whether she's right or not is a different matter, but it's not that hard to understand.

I think people with self-esteem in good long term relationships sometimes struggle to empathise with good women who stay with (perceptually) mid/bad guys. Like Jimmy is probably the only person who has ever been uncritically, unconditionally kind + loving to Kim. She's in her 40s (???), is a somewhat broken person, loves Jimmy and thinks doubling down is the way to go. Millions of women out there make this calculation every day with much worse partners than Jimmy.

It's really hard to discuss Jimmy and Kim without the context of the full show so I won't! I trust that everyone will be satisfied by the end 🥰 You both called Jimmy's outburst 100%. Man is literally creating a new persona for himself because Jimmy is a sad loser with a dead brother but Saul Goodman is a "friend of the cartel" who dunks on the justice system and 'just makes money'. "I manage a cinnabon!" lmfaooo so true, but for like 18 months Saul was on top of the world with TV ads and getting rich off a bald science man + his surrogate son 🥺

Now's as good a time as any to point out how in Saul's first ever appearance on Breaking Bad, when Walt and Jesse take him out to the desert and he thinks he's about to die, he name drops Lalo, Ignacio (Nacho), and says in Spanish that he's a friend of the cartel. I have no doubt these were just throwaway lines at the time, but without spoiling anything, it's cool to see how some random lines of dialogue in an episode from 2009 is bearing fruit now! Here is the clip if you want to revisit, but DO NOT read the comments lol https://youtu.be/k82Vo4d3-tQ?si=XK0VeiwDvVFSfZX4

My wife said it best, Kim is waay to hot and waay too smart and successful to be with Jimmy and all his drama!! Maple is absolutely correct-- she could do sooo much better!

They've been comparisons to Jimmy speech to Howard to Walt's "I'm the one who knocks" a little pathetic and both full of themselves.

Kara

very true! and both speeches whilst somewhat pathetic precipitate a turn for the worse (walt into S5 'Heisenberg' and Jimmy into Breaking Bad era Saul Goodman)

She didn't say it, but Kevin's criticism of her judgement in romantic partners is the reason she went back in to criticize his decision making skills. We have seen that once Kim makes a decision to walk down a path, no amount of telling her how wrong she is will cause her to get into her mother's car. Chuck, Howard, and now Kevin have all tried to run Jimmy/Saul down in order to change her mind, but to Kim Jimmy is the one who is devoted to her, who supports her no matter what. Kim knows who Jimmy is, and she's chosen him.

Yeah I think slowly across the seasons the evidence just piles up.. although I truly don't recall when I accepted that on my first watch! Eventually became one of my fav tv relationships of all time. As always interesting to see different reactions to it though.
