“Cobbler: I really don’t know where they’re going with this.” 😂 no…you sure don’t 😂

Joe Blankenship

I forgot all about the cobbler story. lol

Tim Martin

Go to YouTube and search “squat cobbler” then look for the thumbnail with Daniel dressed as a lifeguard from Baywatch 😂

When Chuck said he was there to "bear witness", he was basically saying he was there to watch Jimmy fail. It was horrible, and made me hate Chuck even more.

The squat cobbler video in all its glory. https://youtu.be/SIh5_Ian8Ds?si=1MYXooMu4buW-w-t

The squat cobbler video is a sight to behold. I liked seeing a different side to Nacho. He might the a hardened drug dealer to everyone else but to his father, he is just a loving son. I think Jimmy took Mike's job without question just to spite Chuck. Which is exactly the type of thing Chuck expects him to do. Kim will always have Jimmy's back but what if he keeps doing these things?

God I love this show so much. Thank you for giving me a reason to rewatch it V!

And even if you take it to mean that he thought Jimmy would succeed, it has a connotation of, "I had to see it for myself to believe that you could possibly be anything more than what I had thought of you".

A few small things you might have missed: In the cold open at the end, Chuck's metronome is no longer in sync, it's slightly off. That happened after Chuck got the news that despite his efforts, Jimmy is still thriving as a lawyer. I like to think that the metronome isn't actually out of sync, that Chuck just imagines it is, but it symbolizes the same thing: Jimmy being a lawyer, and especially one that gets taken seriously by his peers, is like a thorn in Chuck's side, it tilts his whole life off-kilter. Without it really being a spoiler, I can tell you: pay attention to Chuck whenever Jimmy does something morally wrong, or questionable (or pay attention to Chuck whenever he finds out about it). It usually worsens his symptoms of his supposed illness and makes him physically react. Secondly, another fairly obvious but effective use of symbolism: Jimmy's cup not fitting in his new car. It's like his old life, the messy, imperfect life that he still kinda loves (like that cup) doesn't fit into this new life he has chosen. It doesn't really fit Jimmy as a whole. This kind of symbolism is everywhere in these episodes if you start paying attention to it. Third, Kim is absolutely right, Jimmy had basically no reason to do this favor for Mike and Dan, so why did he do it? He got the call from Mike right after his encounter with Chuck, where Chuck said he was there to "bear witness", basically to be there (and possibly point out) when Jimmy starts being Slippin' Jimmy in his new job which, remember, Chuck views as inevitable. But the endless irony is of course, that Chuck never believing in Jimmy, that he could be better, could be more, is exactly what keeps Jimmy doing it over and over again. By again not receiving approval from his older brother but learning he's just there to see Jimmy screw up, Jimmy thinks "well fuck it, I might as well be Slippin' Jimmy", you can see his almost teenager-like defiance and spite in him when he accepts the offer.And of course he enjoys these shenanigans, but if Chuck had said something else, that he was proud of Jimmy for straightening out and taking this opportunity with Davis & Main seriously (which he had been doing up until then), I'm quite certain,

I'm honestly a little surprised you didn't laugh as hard as I did during the "squat cobbler" scene; first time I saw this episode I thought Jimmy was gonna go some WILD direction I wasn't ready to even hear. Definitely wasn't Jimmy in the room in that scene; that was Saul Goodman. See you in EP 3!

Too many reactors love to point out symbolism (not V) and it's really annoying, particularly because they're usually pointing at foreshadowing, irony, and other story-telling devices; they're only calling it symbolism. BUT! The symbolism in this episode is genius. Jimmy's favorite new cup simply doesn't fit in his fancy new car. It's foreshadowing too, but symbolically done. For those who know what's coming, I'm sure you see it now. Nicely done, Mister Gilligan.

Saltire

Yeah the cinematography in this show is first rate, the camera set up's (one in particular later with an episode directed by Rhea/Kim is fantastic) and the lighting, really sets the tone of a lot of scenes. The crew learnt a lot on Breaking Bad and here on Saul they perfected the visual storytelling they wanted to show. Kim is the best. That is all.

More of this show is Mister Gould's baby, as Vince was shooting El Camino in the early seasons here. We should give him props too for how good it all turned out.

Chuck's line about "bearing witness" shows that he knows Jimmy will do shortcuts (as Kim begins to realise in a few episodes too) to get ahead, and we see him doing that with how he makes up a story and fabricates evidence to get Pryce off. Chuck is right about one thing, Jimmy doesn't respect the law, he got into it for all the wrong reasons and uses it for his own financial benefits. He's too "colourful" for this type of law practise.

Saltire

Well we see Chuck is right though in this very episode, by Jimmy making up stories and fabricating evidence, because he doesn't respect the law. Chuck is an arsehole, but he is right about Jimmy's intentions in becoming a lawyer.

Sorry, Saltire, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote. If you're going to respond, respond. On top of that, I was giving the show a huge compliment, and you seem to act as if I was insulting it. Or are you just an auto-response?
