No, not like Enron. Nothing like fucking Enron.

I'm so not into set piece battles and this is easily one of my favourite moments in all of videogames.

This shot is just the perfect last note. Every motif of law, justice, and love that the show maintained through 6 seasons is summed up here.

"Nothing is stronger than the law in the universe, but on Earth, nothing is stronger than love."

Breaking Bad to Baking Bread :P

I'd love to think they tried to make him look as much like Chuck wrapped in Mylar as possible for this scene. I'd also like to think his bait and switch is about Jimmy snaring Saul in his own glory; nobody can bring Saul to justice but himself.

I missed this on previous watches but yeah - while we're setting up the courtroom as a James/Saul showdown we get *another* reference to twins.

Setting the Saul/James divide back up by clarifying that the only thing Saul regrets is a slip & fall in his twenties. Saul is a separate entity and one with no use for a conscience

I don't think much of the symoblism in "Waterworks" needs clarifying - although as mentioned before the show is specific about only showing rain for characters' inner sorrow.

Noting the framing of Kim being back on the corrupt/guilty/Saul side vs Jesse, whose moral burden is merely "drugs"

So cool they brought Jesse back, but even younger

Honestly we should not be allowed a pile bunker and a photo mode

Armored Core VI only lets you have one save. We're doing this from scratch

Just trying to read the news

Yes

I do suspect there's a Midas thing happening with Kim - she's avoiding gold, having changed her hair and seeming oddly averse to what they describe as gold food colouring. The men are arguing about stopping epoxy floor turning yellow. Could be Midas, or maybe Oz. Or just Jimmy.

I go back and forth on whether I'm imagining this left/right motif but they switch back over to their original positions after things come to a head. Jimmy McGill and Kim Goodman are dead.
November 19, 2025 at 3:15 PM
Like, I think following that language, I think we're just as easily looking at Jimmy and Kim, here.

(I'm graphic tagging because it applies but also because hoping not to spoil people about some pretty major events)
November 19, 2025 at 11:27 AM
Flippin' Jimmy. I think the left/right language applies here; Jimmy is back on the left for the first time since they went after Howard. Kim being in the driver's seat allowed him to escape himself, but now he's seeing from that perspective again: what he's done to Howard, to Kim, to himself.

Mecha on my mind again

I am not really much on mechanical design, so I've been trying to think about them more as the fantasy beasts that they are. Will probably pursue a few more such sketches.
