He was dealing with Chuck so she took over some appointments he had scheduled to get Wills written up.

Because Jimmy had an appointment with the cartel to track Mike but he was dealing with Chuck, so Kim did it. Please watch the show.

I could see a scenario where Kim helps Jimmy do something of questionable legality, or hell maybe the Mesa Verde thing ties into somehow, and Chuck knowing about it but being ultimately hesitant to truly screw his brother well and good, "sends a message" by dropping Kim under the bus instead.

He'd throw Kim under the bus explicitly to hurt Jimmy. He's already done it once or twice, why not again? There's not much Chuck can do to Jimmy directly that he'd care about at this point, getting into law itself was just to try and be close to chuck and make him proud after all, it wasn't exactly his true life's calling originally. Hurting Kim IS how he screws Jimmy because he cares more about her and her career than his own.

A twisted-faced Chuck sends Jimmy to Sandpiper Crossing to kill all the old people.

Jimmy (just finished his transition to Saul Goodman): Where is Kim? Is she safe? Is she alright?

Chuck: It seems, in your anger, you killed her.

I think that would be too tragic for the tone they're going for. Jimmy gets in deep, Kim gets killed for it and he slides completely into Saul because there's nothing left in the world for Jimmy. That's grim even by BB standards.

Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill are in fact two separate people. Saul was created when Jimmy was hit by a blast of energy from an experiment gone wrong at the Sandia National Laboratories, separating his quantum structure into two physical "Matlock" and "Shyster" superpositions. The young postdoc in charge of the experiment? Walter White.

At some point Jimmy dies tragically. Chuck decides that he must become Jimmy to protect all of Jimmy's clients. He affects what he assumes to be Jimmy's personality, and becomes Saul Goodman.

Yeah it would be tragic as hell and it kind of goes against what Gilligan said in 2013

quote:

If Bad was 75 percent dramatic and 25 percent comedic, Saul will be the opposite.

on the other hand BCS already feels darker than Breaking Bad but I might just be misremembering since it's been some years since I've watched it.

edit:

also i think BCS is literally darker because a lot of stuff happens at night or in poorly-lit offices or in the house of a guy who thinks he is allergic to electricity

Saul is definitely more dramatic than comedic as is and Breaking Bad was more like 90/10

This avatar was paid for by the Silent Majority.
BCS isn't really doing comedy at all, are they? Compare to Breaking Bad when there were major characters primarily there for comedy. Badger, Skinny Pete, Saul.

Half of Jesse's scenes early on were comedy.



I see BCS compared to the Fly episode sometimes. But the first half of Fly was hilarious. BCS isn't capable of being that funny with it's characters, at least not until Jimmy becomes Saul.

Hank was funny most of the time on Breaking Bad too with his sarcasm and constant joking around.

BCS is probably 1% comedic and 99% seriousness.
