    Jimmy didn't run the ad just because he can't help it - the trigger was Kim saying "I can't believe Cliff went for it!"

    This issue with the commercial isn’t that Jimmy was impatient and couldn’t wait through the weekend, the problem was that Jimmy knew his commercial would never be approved. Omar told Jimmy that there were multiple meetings for old commercial just about getting the swirl pattern in the background “just right”. Jimmy thought the ends would justify the means because he knew it would bring in a lot of new clients.

    EASTER EGG Kim and Jimmy are watching Ice Station Zebra (cold war submarine movie) before Cliff calls to scold Jimmy. Kim notes it as one of her favorite films. In Breaking Bad, Saul tells Badger to make a check out to Ice Station Zebra Associates when representing him. In a later season, Skyler asks Walt why the checks say Ice Station Zebra Associates right before Walt decides to introduce her to Saul. Take it for what you will. It's kind of a strange easter egg. Personally, it makes me wonder even more why Kim is non-existent in the other show.

    Even if Jimmy waited, I don’t think there was anyway that Davis & Main were going to use Jimmy’s commercial. They showed the kind of ad that the firm has used in the past. Jimmy said it “lack showmanship,” and he’s right. But that is by design, not lack of creativity. The firm’s ad is a watered-down, corporate, committee approved hodgepodge of a commercial. It’s beyond reproach and won’t rock the boat, very safe. Jimmy’s ad, while legal, isn’t as pure. Jimmy’s problem is that he lives moment to moment. He never considers the damage that could come later. He only sees the best way to reach as many clients as possible right now.

    It is SUCH a pleasure rewatching this show with you. Getting into Season 2 has made me rewatch the show all over again.
    The writers of this show are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. To see the suspense and drama from you two while watching brings a smile to my face. Basically there is VERY, VERY little going on in the grand scheme of things (airing a commercial), but its how the acion is layered and what is signifies that is intriguing. It's not just Jimmy, but Chuck, Kim and the ominous nature of Saul Goodman that you are invested and hoping he does not become.
    The fascinating part is how invested you are in Jimmy overcoming these obstacles.....yet deep down you KNOW that ultimately it gets the better of him eventually. That is how great these writers are to make you FEEL for this character.
    I only ask that you upgrade Better Call Saul reactions to at least 2 a week once you finish other stuff. The show is definitely worth it.
    Thanks again for helping me have a GREAT Monday morning.

      randallewebb 100% true. The writers are phenomenal. I love seeing Nikki and Steven reacting to all this issues. As a psychologist I find watching other people’s reactions to moral and ethical dilemmas really interesting. Especially as there are two, they get to bounce ideas and their feelings off of one another and talk it out a little more than a solo reactor usually does.

    • @randallewebb
      @randallewebb 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely. The reason I LOVE both BrBad and BCS is precisely the point of how moral and ethical dilemans are presented. Not just for the main characters either. Th side characters have their OWN dilemnas as they are having to make decisions based on their proximity to the main character. BCS's main characters were side/minor characters of BrBad. Yet here they are in this show being presented with these dilemnas that greatly affect their character.
      Even in this show, Kim Wexler and Chuck are becoming more interesting by the minute......as we see them respond to the "morally flexible" person of Jimmy McGill. I could say more but it might get into spoiler territory.
      I love at the nd of this reaction, how Nikki and Steven are beginning to question WHO is to blame for Jimmy acting this way (Jimmy or Chuck)? It is a fascinating question. I love that the answer is not so BLACK and WHITE. But what's more interesting in WHY do we care so much?
      That is the secret that many other shows don't get. Character and characterization.
      Can't waith for Nikki and Steven to get deeper into the season, as they TRULY have NO CLUE what is in store for EVERYONE moving forward.

    In an amazing piece of visual storytelling when Jimmy frames the stare case with the lady's incline chair, that's when he gets the inspiration for the big shot of his commercial. He used the chairlift to achieve the fancy looking pan down. It's not stated in the episode, but the clues are in there. Pay attention to the visual details of the show they tell a wealth of stories. These showrunners put in maximum effort.

    • @dog-eared6991
      @dog-eared6991 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Another good one is when Jimmy is walking to Cliff's office with the commercial. The camera stops and backs up just a little a moment before Jimmy does, like Jimmy's subconscious deciding to turn around before Jimmy's conscious mind makes the decision. It's a great way to visualize that "itch" of Jimmy's that he doesn't quite have control over.

      True, but considering Jimmy used his name in that commercial, it meant the firm was liable for ANYTHING that Jimmy said in that ad. That's why he was furious, he had no idea what Jimmy just put out there in his name.
      Also the ad is very manipulative, which Cliff might feel is something his firm is above doing.

When Chuck says "Slipping Jimmy with a machine gun" everyone agrees because they know where he ends up, but maybe the reason he ended up like that was because everyone treated him like he could never be anything more than a fraud and a charlatan. Idk, I just think it's unfair

    This is one episode I didn’t fully understand. Maybe someone here knows?
    Is Stacey using Mike’s kindness and protection to manipulate him to get her a new home? Did she make the mark in the wall herself? Or is she just on high alert and mistake the make for a genuine gunshot?
    I’ve never been sure on this. Nikki, Steven, you guys got a take on that?

    Nikki and Steven;
    With Jimmy, he is an "ends justifies the means" guy. He does what he does with good intentions, regardless if what he is doing is the legal or moral thing. He truly thought that the reasons for the commercial, and the immense success, is enough to justify it.
    In Dungeons and Dragons (a Stranger Things correlation), players can have 1 of 9 alignments, ranging from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil. Jimmy is Chaotic Good; he has great intentions but he follows his own moral compass, justifying it with the results. The firm is Lawful, so chaos is the antithesis. Oil and water.

    He didn't wait because he already knew the ad wouldn't get approved, so he felt like he had to make and air it first, so they would see how great it was as well as see the results it brought. Law firms have to protect themselves against lawsuits, so they don't generally approve commercials as stylish as Jimmy's -- someone could potentially misunderstand what's being promised. Even a frivolous lawsuit takes time to fend off and affects public image. This is why they prefer ads that are boring and straightforward, with all the legalese stated right on the TV. If anyone launches a suit, you can point right to the legalese, ending it right there. Jimmy doesn't think about the long-term consequences of his actions, because Chuck is kind of right: he treats the law like a game, where you outwit as many people as possible, as fast as possible. The reputations of Kim and Davis&Main just don't enter his mind as a major factor, because that's an abstract problem which interferes with short-term tangible results.
    I also think at this point, Jimmy's really struggling with his reasons for being a lawyer. Dude looked up to his big brother all his life, as far as we can tell, and did everything he could to support him. He turned his life around specifically because Chuck bailed him out and made him promise to do so. Now, he's found out his brother never wanted him to succeed, and has been in fact actively sabotaging his career. It's an immense betrayal, but it also means that Chuck's approval -- a major reason for his ability to confidently pursue a legitimate law career -- is now gone. Chuck's glare in the meeting is kind of like, "I know you're lying. You don't belong here, at the big table with the real lawyers. You're not a real lawyer." It's getting in his head, digging at his deepest insecurities in a way that it never has before, because he always believed that Chuck believed in him. So he's reckless with this commercial, because he's struggling with his self-image. He doesn't want to believe he's Slippin' Jimmy, but he kind of does.
    If you tell someone they're a bad person long enough, and treat them accordingly, they will eventually give up and act that way. It's just easier to find a niche in which you thrive. I think this is why Season 2's posters of Better Call Saul show him walking on a road that's tilted at a very steep slope. It even shows traffic lights where green is pointed down the slope. Basically saying that falling would be so much easier, and that Jimmy is fighting his deepest calling as Slippin' Jimmy, eventually known as Saul. This whole series is an incredibly sad story.

  • @spacemonkeyentertainment6413

    There is another very important aspect to this imo. The residents of Sandpiper are small fish to the lawfirm, probably. Their video wouldn't have had even close to the outreach Jimmy's would have, since the firm wouldn't risk going overboard. So in the end, is he doing the "right" thing, since all those elders' pensions are getting drained ? And is he taking a calculated risk to make it happen or is he just doing it, because he can't help it (maybe because it is HIS case) ?

  • @DxC-95
    @DxC-95 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't see anyone else talking about this, but I'm still not sure what to make of Stacey and her claims of hearing gunshots. On the one hand, she IS the widow of a cop, and anything that sounds like a gunshot (a newspaper falling on the sidewalk, the house settling with a big crack, etc.) is liable to sound like a gunshot; especially since she has a child in the house as well. But on the other hand, I'll admit I was extremely suspicious when first viewing this episode. Especially when Mike was secretly out there all night (and went to his job straight away after; no wonder the poor man looks tired all the time XD) and heard nothing except the newspapers, which were probably dropped off at 6 in the morning. Up to interpretation, I suppose.

I'll be 33 in November so I'm old lol. The other day I was even explaining the labyrinth to my 15 year old. I felt pretty old. Hahah. I also had to explain the neverending story to him as well not too long ago. Both cuz of stranger things lol. Anyway I do really like this show and your guys' reactions.

    Partner track. Law firms are partnerships so when you get hired your an associate and you just get a large salary and bonus. The partner track means you are on you way to becoming one of the Partners, that is a part owner. Meaning you share in the firms profits. So instead of making $300k a year as an associate as a partner sharing in profits you'll make over a million a year especially senior partners. So Jimmy if he did good and was approved would have a chance to become a partner or part owner where the big big money is.

    Chuck is an asshole but he's not being an asshole by pressing Jimmy. Chuck is actually protecting his firm's business rep. For the average person should get is that what Jimmy did is grossly unethical and against "Rules of Professional Responsibility." There is basically a law that makes it a violation to chase ambulances. That's what they mean when they say there couldn't be a hint of "solicitation." 'Solicitation" is an ethics law that says a lawyer violates the rules if they "solicit employment by face to face contact." Basically, it's permitted to put up an ad or talk to people you have prior business relationships with. But you can't go chase down people and put your card in their pocket. That's what Jimmy did. He made their bus break down and then met face to face. Its rule 7 in most states and in the Federal rules. Again, it can get you disbarred. And the entire firm gets tarnished. And Chuck understands the right way to get clients. Second, and the commercial is done without firm permission and in their name. Not to mention the commercial looks low budget and cheesy. Law firms don't normally put commercials on tv. Notice you rarely see any major law firm ads on tv. Cause they sometimes think it makes them look less "classy." Its a bit of an elitist attitude but big law firms are pretty elitist.
