Jimmy's Program
21 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS***We all knew that Jimmy couldn't just walk away from an easy mark, didn't we? Still, I think that Gilligan has his point made that Jimmy LOVES living on the edge - so much so that he's willing to risk everything on an $8G snatch. He gets himself involved with an unknown quantity (the burgler), will NOT listen to Mike when he gives specific advice to stay away from this mark, and has to pull the nuts out of the fire to salvage the day - temporarily, that is. I'm sure that everyone else noticed the glove. I said to the t.v. right then "don't take off your glove". I bet it will bring more grief later, too. It will be found, immediate curiosity will compel the Neff's to call security,,, The cops will probably notice that the Hummel piece is not dusty, will start looking for the one that was (and was taken), find it when it is dealt off, and corner Jimmy and friend. People just don't want to listen to their elders (Mike).

I wondered what Nacho's problem's were going to blossom into, but what an introduction into the path of revenge that Gus has laid out; all he wanted was out, and the nature of the business is like a snake eating it's prey; inexorable strangulation and swallowing whole - that's drugs, my friends.

I think Kim isn't happy at all with the growth that her client has planned, and, frankly, I don't think that HHM is done at all with either of them. I think that Howard's attention will eventually be re-directed toward Kim. Remember that Howard was Chuck's very willing partner in making Kim pay heavily for a small indescretion, and the attempted ruination of Jimmy. The letter supposedly from Chuck? Obvious forgery. It was ALL generalities, slithering up to Jimmy's heart to put one more rotten squeeze on him from the "grave". Certainly from Howard. He's probably figured out that Jimmy did the insurance blip that fixed Chuckie up. I think that if you step back, it is easy to see that Kim is the almost polar opposite of Chuck, and Howard. Both are extremely intelligent, but where they are cold and calculating, she is warm and human. I also think that she will want to move away from her client and the danger from too much expansion and HHM's potential payback. This one's a 10.
