Haven't seen today's episode yet but the whole subtext of last week's episode seemed to me to be to show how Jimmy and Kim want different things, have very different motivating forces and are moving in different directions.

I'm guessing we'll see them drift further apart in the remaining 4 (?) episodes this series and Kim will eventually realise that the relationship has run its course. I'd bet on them just splitting up rather than anything more nefarious happening to Kim.
Yes they certainly plant more seeds of them moving in different directions this week so that's entirely possible.

Agreed, I can see the Heul situation being the final straw, a final favour.

Another interesting podcast. Hadn't realised that Kim's cast was a real plaster one; reapplied every day of filming.

They do go to extraordinary lengths in photography, set design, editing, sound and lighting to get everything "just right" technically.
I liked Vince Gilligan's comment "Please don't watch it on your phone".

Yep, we now have some firm dates for the latest events in BCS, thanks to Jimmy's probation reports. The latest episode moves things along by several months.
Kim's car was a 2nd generation Audi A8L. At first I thought it was an anachronism, but I was wrong and it was period correct - new to the American market in 2004.

Was it me or was the circular saw not actually moving when they were cutting the cast off?

Glad you said that, as I couldn't see a guide on it, and wondered how safe it was!

The amount of people I see watching stuff on public transport, why can't they get a decent sized tablet at least.

I watch on my phone on a train. I really don’t think I’m missing anything; it’s far more immersive than doing so on tv with family talking to me etc.

The story is definitely slower than mollass on a cold day. But it really is nothing like anything else and really good. The huel bit is great, so much depth to the characters.

You have an opinion.


It is unfortunately wrong, but each to their own.

Do you sit 6” from your tv screen? Do you watch in a cinema? If you don’t, you’re missing all the details laugh

An excellent series. I liked Kim's reaction to finding out Jimmy was selling PAYG mobiles to low-life. Very good.

What's that saying? "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink"

P.s. my previous place had a projector setup, and I'm in middle of doing the new one smile

For much of todays episode it looked like it was all going pear shaped for Kim and Jimmy.

I think I've foreseen how Kim's story ends: jail.

Kim has always known about Jimmy's days as a hustler, and even joined him in a con in series 2 (Zafiro Añejo!).

Bit of a spoiler in the above link if you haven’t already watched this weeks episode but as ever with BCS the devil is in the detail.
