Better Call Saul Season Thread - Season Six - April 18th

[rook]

I'm really intrigued what happens between him and his girl, man..

 

[Master Zik]

It seemed obvious to me that a large chunk of the 14,000 that was missing was most likely from his dad giving away money like he did. Not from Jimmy stealing all of it.

I found that scene interesting compared to the scene with Mike's daughter in law and the house. It really seemed like she was conning Mike. Going through the trouble of bringing him to the house - telling him how life changing it was then ending it by pretending she was worried about the cost. Just like Jimmy's dad - he kinda knew it in the back of his mind, but was okay doing it on the off chance she was genuine. I don't really remember how her character was in BB so I don't know if I'm just reaching.

That shot with Kim smoking on the rooftop was amazing.

Bruh, if his dad gave away that much money over time he would not be wondering why he lost his shop. He'd be expecting it.

If you make any sense of it, the shop would've went under within a year if it was known around town he was a mark that gave money (or merchandise) away daily.

The shop would never be a family thing. Chuck couldn't even talk about it the way he did like it meant something to his dad.

Man, just let it play out. 4real. You can argue both sides of this coin. We all know eventually it will all make perfect sense...and its up to us to figure out where we stand on the "morality line".

On another note....I think Mike's expression was him knowing he'd have to get more "dirty" to ensure his fam can live a good life.

Jimmy as a child knew about the rep his dad had. That's how bad it was. If this was even a weekly thing and it went on for 8+ years (assuming Jimmy was close to adult age when he died) - that's a TON of money unaccounted for. Doesn't mean the shop is gonna go under immediately. 20-30 bucks a week isn't going to make or break a business but it'll add up over time.

 

[darthska]

^ $5 a week for 8 years is around $2k.

Loooong stretch away form $14k.

If $14k was missing, it was taken, straight up.

 

[the 7th mile]

nah she definitely played mike

that look right before she hugged him sealed it for me

We knew she was playing Mike when we saw him stake the house out and she came with the imaginary gun shots

He gave the dude $10. After a clearly bogus story that a little kid saw through in less than a minute. Where did $5 come from? Don't think it's a stretch to guess he was giving out 20-30 a week. I'm sure Jimmy didn't help but the dad was obviously giving away a lot of money over time.

 

[darthska]

Good point. I wasn't thinking about him giving money to strangers, which he obviously did; I was thinking about Jimmy stealing what was roughly $5.

But even $30 a week for 8 years is $12k.

 

[CP1708]

Dad gave 10 to the guy, who then spent 8 on cigs. Jimmy took the 8.

So that's 18 in a heartbeat right there.

I assume we'll see more very soon.

Just watched episode 7, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed Jimmy throwing away that square girls soda. It made me all giddy inside man

However Kim is another story. Jimmy should have told her *** to beat it after she said she only wanted to share the rent. What she essentially did is agree to go to the prom with him but only share a taxi there, and meet different dates once there. My dude has a cocoa bolo (sp?) desk now, he doesn't need some chick who isn't really in it like that.

Mikes daughter in law is about that ******** too. She knows damn well they can't afford the house, the **** is she guilting old *** Mike into buying it for? "It's just really expensive ", stop it girl, you knew what you were doing acting all dazed in there. Mike knows it too but he has grown soft towards that woman

Omar is the homie, so is that Asian lady. Chuck can still eat a ****, same with Howard.

That is my analysis for this week, tune in next week for more

 

[buc em]

Once this person appears..

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

this thread will implode.

This thread will jump 20 pages overnight the minute that he appears.

 

[mgrand15]

We knew she was playing Mike when we saw him stake the house out and she came with the imaginary gun shots

I kinda thought she was just paranoid and anxious since her husband was murdered. Now it looks like she might have been playing Mike.

 

[buc em]

I honestly thought Mike's daughter was just crazy when she said something about the gun shots. Now it does look like she was using him for the money.

Man, just let it play out. 4real.

I think it has already played out though.

I believe he took the money as said and the beginnings of it as shown. Only thing left to change yall minds about his morality is if he took the money to fund a sick girl's operation

Good point. I wasn't thinking about him giving money to strangers, which he obviously did; I was thinking about Jimmy stealing what was roughly $5.

But even $30 a week for 8 years is $12k.

Why is it only per week though?

 

[silverbackhoney]

Papa McGill has a strict schedule he follows when giving out free money, didn't you get the fax/memo?

Absolutely no budget variances, his children should've become accountants not lawyers.

 

[a-friend]

Kim's im character is so attractive

 

[evolution fight]

I honestly thought Mike's daughter was just crazy when she said something about the gun shots. Now it does look like she was using him for the money.

she was married to his son, not his daughter. I feel for Mike man, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. He's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure what remains of his fam stays safe and happy, and she's become aware of that and is willing to exploit it. I'm sure some of us can relate when we have fam that tries to take advantage of your generosity because they're fam and know you most likely won't say no


Also, why is it so hard for some of you to believe that Jimmy was jackin his pops after all he was a little kid that was on his way to become slipping Jimmy for crying out loud
As soon as that was revealed I couldn't help but laugh inside and remember how cats on her were in straight denial about it when Chuck brought it up the week before

 

[br0keballer]

Lol I know right. A lot of yall caping hard for Jimmy. Refusing to believe he did that and thinking he's an upstanding guy. One dude refusing to watch the rest of the series and **** if he found out Jimmy stole from his pops a lot of ppl gonna be hurt if they do find out Jimmy stole all that money.

 

[skurrtskurrt29]

Here's the thing, nobody is in denial. We just don't believe Jimmy is a flat out thief who would steal 14k from his father for...what reason? Chuck made it seem like Jimmy was just a scumbag stealing off his father, when it's obviously a lot more complicated than that. The flashback only brought up more questions and not answers imo.

His father clearly had issues with running his business. I'm just not ready to believe Chuck's story based off of a flashback of an 11-12 year old Jimmy taking $8

 

[Trey Bantz]

Mike doesn't mind dishing out cash because he loves his granddaughter so much, his daughter-in-law is exploiting a combination of his love for Kaylee and his guilt over what happened to his son Matt.

 

[Trey Bantz]

Also, include me in the group of people that doesn't believe that Jimmy stole 14K from his pops. Chuck clearly carries some resentment that Jimmy, despite all his flaws, was the favorite child in the eyes of his father. Chuck was just trying to slander Jimmy per usual in that scene.

 

[Master Zik]

Here's the thing, nobody is in denial. We just don't believe Jimmy is a flat out thief who would steal 14k from his father for...what reason?

I wonder what reason a thief would steal money? Hmmm let me ponder that.

There's a bunch of reasons Jimmy would take the money but to be direct, he took it to spend it or maybe he fooled himself in to thinking he was investing it It doesn't really matter. We talking about money not some useless piece of furniture.

 

[mgrand15]

What reason does he have to steal money?
