For those complaining, I don't know what else to tell you. This episode wasn't hard to telegraph, seeing as I pretty much explained exactly what was going to happen before it even aired, and, as I've been saying to anyone who will listen for a while now, Kim was never going to get vacuumed or killed.
Because it was ALWAYS about Jimmy and Kim's emotional journey.
Kim HAD to come to the conclusion she did in order for them to be reunited in any kind of even remotely satisfying fashion in Nebraska, post-Breaking Bad. To that end, I thought this episode was PERFECT. The way their relationship ended, splitting up but still with "I love you"s is going to make their reunion so much more poignant than I ever thought it could be. I was legit expecting some kind of resentment there, and that their reunion would be bittersweet, and while it might still be bittersweet, that spark is still also alive and now I can't wait even more for them to see each other again.
And then the time jump, at exactly that moment, was so f-ing brilliant. I thought we'd get it between episodes, but this was so much better and so much more devastating.
I seriously don't understand how people didn't like this episode, or why anyone could need anymore thrills than we got last episode.
I just though tonight was incredible.
During the scene where Kim and Jimmy are BSing to Howard's widow, I was thinking either they are really that terrible of people and this didn't faze them, or this is truly the final straw for Kim. And it was. The scene in the garage followed by Kim at the court hearing were just brilliant.
And yes, the time jump was perfect in a devastating way. Like that's it. Kim leaves and we're done. BCS timeline over. After all that. I was holding out hope there would be more storyline in future episodes but I think that's it.
Man, I cannot get enough of this show. So good!
