Better Call Saul: Season 1

1x09 Pimento

Now, Let me tell you why I'm loving Better Call Saul so much.

Bob Odenkirck's magnificent acting, I mean, did you saw his eyes when Jimmy's brother was telling him all that stuff at the ending? Sadness. Bloody good stuff.

This episode itself was brilliant, because it was about loyalty and Jimmy, Saul, whatever you wanna call him, he thought he was finally doing something great, something he could share with his brother. Yes, he works hard. And his brother, on the other side, never thought that way, even when he saw his brother's excitement, I'm sure all he was thinking was HHM, and that's awful, his ideals are awful and maybe he is too. But hey, can you blame him? I think not, because we all have opinions on things that really matter to us and it's hard to change the way we see it.

The thing about this ep is that you get to recall every single thing Saul has done, good or bad. He's not evil, he's not a saint, he's a regular guy trying to be better. And you can feel sorry for him, because even when he does his best, he can't.

@mariie15 I think ppl are too hard on him and only see the conman side.

@mariie15 It makes sense that Chuck wouldn't want to hire Jimmy, they are not even on the same level of law expertise but the worst thing that Chuck did was that he lied to his brother because he was too afraid to tell him the truth. I think that if Chuck had told Jimmy from the very beginning that he didn't want to work with him and if he had explained why, then Jimmy would not be nearly as mad as he was when he found out he had been lied to by his brother for so long.
