I think the civil suit was really just a way to show that Kim won't get to essentially apologize to the wife and admit her involvement to the authorities, and get off scot free with a clean conscience. She will still face consequences of her own, even if not as severe as Jimmy's.
Re: the bolded: as mentioned before, Florida has a law that shields residents' property from seizure connected to out of state civil actions.

That's why OJ Simpson moved there.

I still loved the show.

Idea being he was gonna sell out Kim for a better deal. I doubt any viewers bought it but that seemed to be the idea.

IIRC, somebody told her Cheryl could get "everything you have, and everything you're ever going to have."

No idea if this is realistic in the real world.

Yes, it is called debt collection and it is a very old practice. But it is so weird that Jimmy falls on his sword to protect Kim from a potential nuisance instead of actual peril. I guess a nice bookend to all of the odd decisions made with her story arc.

still don't get why ppl think jimmy did anything for kim there, pretty sure he didn't. he might have wanted to, but he couldn't. she gave out signed confessions to everyone.

Q: To your mind, do you think what Saul does in the hearing will get Kim out of legal trouble with Cheryl?

Peter Gould: No, I don’t. I think that Kim is on her own journey, and I think he knows that. He does feel bad about what’s happening with Cheryl. But I don’t think Kim would like it if Jimmy pulled some maneuver that protected her from Cheryl. He doesn’t save her; she saves her. They’re done with saving each other by this time. What he sees is that she had the courage to face what she’s done. And she did something that I don’t think Jimmy/Gene ever thought she would do, which is not only to turn herself in, but actually to sit across from Cheryl Hamlin, who they both lied to disgustingly, and be 100 percent truthful.

thats right
What they filmed > what they say to media.

In the courtroom scene we see Kim though a half-wall that just happens to be a rifle scope.

Well not for those who think they did the work to create it, for no particular reason.

Again you have to set up the final episode. Jimmy calls Kim in Florida and she won't really talk to him, he ends up angrily smashing the payphone booth. The impression is that he is really angry with her and knows there will never be a reunion or reconciliation.

He then tries to play an extra bargaining chip by saying he knows what really happened to Howard. The DA laughs in his face and tells him Kim already told them everything.

Then, Jimmy is on the plane and tells Oakley that he has more information on Kim, which Oakley says might get Kim in more trouble. Gene smirks and says "Yeah, but it's really good ice cream."

The idea obviously being planted by the writers is that Jimmy has gone full evil Saul and was going to burn it all down at the end for revenge against Kim for leaving him.

Not sure how many fans fell for it, but that seemed to clearly be the idea. The fact that it was all some ruse to get Kim to show up in the courtroom felt a bit lazy to me. How did he know someone would call Kim to tip her off? How did he know that would make her show up? It was just a plot device to get them together at the end. I guess it worked OK just didn't seem that believable to me. Why would Kim need to be there in person to hear what he had to say? And why would he say it in court? If he really had more info, he'd share it with the DA before his hearing, not on the stand. But that's dramatic license I guess, it's a TV show after all, not real life.

Every BB character appearance felt completely artificial just for the fanwank. Kim's entire story made no sense whatsoever. The entire Omaha storyline was a total wtf. So many poorly written / directed scenes where we're left guessing what the intention was.

No

this is the easiest suspension of disbelief, in a show that is always asking us to do it. A realistic portrayal of criminal procedure in an hour long show would be 50 minutes of typing on the computer, plus commercials.

As for slippin Jimmy manipulating people, it's a little late in the game for complain about that.

I don't agree with Saul's decision to not take the deal. He was a shady lawyer and pulled scams on people. Not morally good decisions and deserves jailtime yes. But 5 years seems reasonable. I mean he didn't commit a violent crime. If he wanted to morally be at peace with himself he coulda took the 5 year deal. Then when got out try to help and do good deeds for the people he unfairly hurt. Wanting to look like a hero to Kim but make him serve the better of the rest of his life in prison seems extreme. Let's not forget that while Kim was usually morally good. She was the one pushing Jimmy to go after Hamlin when Jimmy was ready to back off ruining Hamlin's life. And she's doing no time and living a free life. She confessed to Hamlin's wife ok. But she gets to start over while Jimmy's life is over forever. But she shared a cig with him and let him know you did the right thing. I guess that's fair?

ya I mean simps ghana simp.

I dont even think it was about doing the right thing. it was about getting Kim to like him and spend a few moments with him. he traded life in jail for those moments and that piece of mind. but the setup was that although he was "free" as Gene, he was miserable. and altho he was free as Saul, he was miserable. so I am talking myself into it making sense.

Never watched a lick of BCS until about May? when mrs. beaks and I gave it a start and essentially caught up just as the finale wrapped it up.

Grunching;

I liked it overall. No doubt the first three seasons were more of a chore to get through, I thought the whole Chuck storyline was very drawn out. But it is a character drama more so than BB.

Lalo was fantastic, literally introduced him just at the perfect time to ignite some excitement into the last couple seasons.

Like BB though it's just not tier 1 of shows for me all-time. Probably not tier 1b either. HBO still the champ.

Lambo confronting the chicken guy in the laundromat was painful. The security guard is away from the monitors as he's creeping around looking for a way in and comes back just as he moves out of view of the camera. Lazlo shoots 4 armed guards in their heads before anyone can react but chicken guy, held at gunpoint and after warning him he's about to do something crazy, somehow separates a heavy duty extension cord with his feet by kicking at it (causing it to spark obviously) before Larry can pull the trigger.

"Better Call Saul" really is going to go into next year's #Emmys without having ever won a single Emmy despite 50+ nominations. Remarkable.

season 6b is up next year, and they'll prob win a few or maybe a bunch, but still, emmys are a jopke

Unfortunately I think with the last episodes so far away from voting time the show will get shut out again. It’s truly unfortunate.
