WARNING!
I’m going to wait until it’s done to watch (no cable) like I did with Breaking Bad. The bar in NH in season 5 was filmed at the Ponderosa in Tijeras about a quarter mile from me.
Hardly. She was worse than most of the guys on that show.
Barry Corbin in the credits tonight. Didn’t know he was still alive.
Reminds Jimmy of his meeting with cousin Tuco.
And there they are! Hank walking without the limp, no PTSD.
"Saul. Good. Man." Laughs.
lol - yup...
Contracts DO mean something.
Well he doesn't own his house either! He's been leasing it for 30 years.
She's gone out of her way--interrupted her entire day--to reason with this jerk. Even went back at night to talk to him alone. And it's not enough.
Sorry, this bugs me. I've dealt with people who want to ignore contracts after they've signed them. And they're so self-righteous about it, just like Corbin's character.
“Hardly. She was worse than most of the guys on that show.”
Definitely. (I was being sarcastic.)
“Kim sympathizes with Barry Corbin. Says she’s never owned a house, doesn’t know what it feels like.”
From the get-go, I thought Kim was full of crap — just making up a story to manipulate the guy to get the result her client needed. (Apparently, that’s what Barry Corbin thought, too.)
“She’s gone out of her way—interrupted her entire day—to reason with this jerk. Even went back at night to talk to him alone.”
Again ... doing what she needed to do to get the guy to vacate for her client.
“Mike continues to spiral.”
What’s up with Mike, anyhow? He’s sure got a bug up his butt and we can’t figure out why. Does it have to do with his son?
Mesa Verde offered him over three times the amount of money that was agreed to in the contract. He refused to accept it.
So be it. He'll be evicted eventually. Those are the terms of the lease he signed. No skin off Mesa Verde's nose.
Kim drove away. She could've gone home, kicked off her shoes, watched TV and forgot about it.
But when she was talking with her assistant on the phone, she pulled over and stared at herself in the rear-view mirror. She looked exactly the way Corbin described her, driving her shiny black German car.
So Kim came back that night--on her own time--and showed Corbin other houses that were available in his price range (He's going to lose this house, regardless. He needs a new place to live.)
She opened up and told the old man something personal about herself. We hardly ever get any backstory from Kim. She was telling him the truth about her family never owning a home.
After listening to all this, Corbin finally speaks: "You people will say anything to get what you want." And slams the door in her face.
So Kim's day ends the same way yesterday ended--drinking beer with Jimmy on the balcony. She played by the rules. Jimmy did not. And they both ended up in the same place.
She throws an empty bottle as hard as she can off the balcony. A very un-Kim like thing to do. She's frustrated and confused by what her life has become.
So now Mike has two deaths haunting him.
His granddaughter, Kaylee, was asking innocent questions about her dad, Mike's son, which (combined with his hangover) made him feel even guiltier.
He snapped and yelled at Kaylee, sending her running to her room where she stayed until Mike left. For the first time she was scared of her grandpa.
This certainly didn't help Mike's mood. So he goes to a bar--the same bar he took Werner to last season--and continues to drown his sorrows.
He demanded the bartender take down a photo of the Sydney Opera House. Werner had noticed the photo on their last visit and told Mike how his father had been one of the building's engineers.
Oh, right. Werner. He liked the guy but had to whack him.
Ah,darn. i missed it!
I was at a vacuum repair shop Saturday and whished I could have remembered it.
