Alex. Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 i dont like her at all She is genuinely awful. I'm not certain anyone could like the character of Betsy. She is self-delusional and expects everyone to cooperate in perpetuating these delusions. Interestingly, Jimmy is great at dealing with Chuck, another character who has a singular self-delusion that he expects others to believe; however, Chuck is incredibly sympathetic, while Betsy is the opposite. Yeah, of course, that's definitely the point but still... Real shame she didn't go to jail. For the sake of her kids if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Betsy Kettleman is a riot. Hope we see more of her in future episodes. Thus far she has been portrayed as an unlikeable, unsympathetic narcissist but there is a thing called character development. Afterall, in BB Hank was initially portrayed as a first class douche. I think that there is lots of potential with the BK character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 As funny as BK is, Not sure I see her playing much more of a part in the series, when the last episode ended I thought it was probably the last we see the Kettlemans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenhair Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Because she's interesting and hilarious. You're not supposed to sympathize with her at all - but I found her narcissism is awesomely engrossing. Oh, I get that. Enjoyable to watch, absolutely. Likable character, no.

Malik Ambar Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've finally laid my hands on BCS. I'm lovin' it ! I would never have thought Saul's back story could be so great, and Mike just makes everything better ! I'm really hoping Gus shows up soon.

Nox Irradiata Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well, only 3 episodes left so probably won't see Gus this season, I'm thinking. Would be awesome to get a little taste, though! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeburners Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well Mike only has about 4 years now to go from being some everyday tollbooth operator to being the single most trusted accomplice of the most cautious drug dealer in the world.

Mark Antony Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 But Saul didn't even know Gus iirc, "I got a guy who's got a guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samalander Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 But Saul didn't even know Gus iirc, "I got a guy who's got a guy" I'm guessing Mike is the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King in Black Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Iirc , mike refers to gus as 'the guy we work for' to saul. Also though saul says he's in the dark about gus , later when walt refers to him by name saul doesn't even bat an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King in Black Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Most of the episodes of season 1 ends with O. What about season 2 ? What are they trying to spell now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bowie Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Most of the episodes of season 1 ends with O. What about season 2 ? What are they trying to spell now? You probably said that because of BB season 2's "737" "Down" "Over" "ABQ" - which was an amazing thing to do for such a coherent season. I'm not sure what's the deal with the O thing, but the OCD in me makes me mad about the retitled Jello. But I don't think it means more than it is. On the same note, The Winds of Winter irritates me so much, please George, keep the pattern and surprise us all with "A Time For Wolves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so much better than the stuupid Dream of Spring. But apparently it's too spolierish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrist Simon Steele Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm thinking it is both of their shows given the episode about Mike. He really is such a great character, though I hope they don't continue to break the episodes apart that way. Certainly they can have Gus without Saul knowing him though. Which would be great. I think Saul and Nacho will be going forward obviously. Can't wait for that. I rewatched the episodes because I love them, and that scene in the desert with Tucco, the negotiation was really good. Both times it caught me unlike anything else in the series. That was peak writing, and it will be hard to top. I loved it. I loved how Saul is the guy who figured out how to effectively negogiate with Tucco, and especially given how smart Walter is and how he could never do it. Of course, Saul's loud mouthed sidekicks were gagged, whereas Walt's was not. Also watching the hit and run scene again there is just enough obsfuction there that the twins could have followed the wrong car, and given what we know about Betsy now, she could have totally hit and run, and those dumb twins just got mixed up and followed the wrong lady. I always was really confused about the whole hit and run side of things. But I think it makes sense now. Crazy Betsy hit them, the boys got mixed up and followed the wrong car. Or not, they just threw themselves in front of the wrong car. Either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh gross! Oh gag! Oh gad! :stillsick: :stillsick: :stillsick: :stillsick: :stillsick: I'd rather be buried by anything other than senior waste. Animal, livestock, whatever, not as bad as that! It's just something on a physical level I can't handle. ETA:Whew! Thought that was it for Chuck at the end of this episode, glad to see from the previews he's still around next week!

Independent George Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh man... why do I get the feeling that Jimmy misinterpreted Chuck's partnership terms, and it's going to hit them hard? I feel like the smart play now is to bring HHM in on the case officially.Chuck was the one who made sure Jimmy wouldn't get hired, right? Ithink Hamlin was just his hatchet man because Chuck couldn't face his brother himself, and it's going to come out in the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is as cringe worthy as it is fantastic.... we know none of this is going to work out for him ... so as much as I want to get excited for his awesome legal work taking on an evil conglomerate... it has to end badly.
