at its core, Better Call Saul<\/em><\/span> <\/em>work a prequel series, even though it has become much more than what’s expected of that genre. Still, one of its main purposes is to get to the end of whoever and whatever Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad<\/em><\/span> work. That would bring us full circle to the colorfully attired, loquacious, ethically-pliable, always entertaining attorney to the stars of Albuquerque’s meth trade. But what if the end of this show isn’t just the beginning of Breaking Bad<\/em>‘s Saul Goodman or (as also promised by the black-and-white flashforwards) the arrival of Cinnabon-slinger Gene Takovic? <\/p>\n

last week’s midseason premiere<\/span> quickly but satisfyingly closed Lalo Salamanca’s story and forecasted what was likely to be serious trouble in Jimmy and Kim’s relationship. \u201cFun And Games\u201d pays off on that front, speedily running through the state of McGills’ marriage. Kim breaks Jimmy’s heart when she tells him that they have a good time but don’t bring out the best in each other. And she’s right: They bring out each other’s worst instincts, traits, and behaviors, all of which have consequences. Look no further than them using the Sandpiper case to further their careers. Jimmy giddily went along with Kim’s ideas to humiliate Howard instead of using the settlement to help others, even as the operation became more and more destructive to Howard. it was <\/em>all fun and games until somebody lost a life. Eats, the McGills are really good at running scams. They display frighteningly real sincerity even in a situation like trying to convince a widow who has been (wrongly) made to believe that her husband died by suicide and was a drug addict, all in the name of covering their role in the man’s death.<\/p>\n
