@mrbobodenkirk: Awards are good for one thing…seeing the best peeps in the world
[ 6/6/2014 ] First day of shooting Better Call Saul.
Kim is the one person who knows that Saul Goodman’s gone, and the guy who’s left is Jimmy McGill. I think she’s the one person who really gets that, and you can see it when he walks in the door.
Peter Gould, Vanity Fair.
They’re not doing any kind of presentation to each other. They’re being together, fully. I love it. I love it so much!
They’ve just been restless, restless characters … And now we’re seeing a guy at peace with the choices he’s made, with who he is and he’s got love. He’s got love for the rest of his life. He’s got her.
Bob Odenkirk, EW.
As soon as we started rehearsing it, I was very affected by this dynamic where it felt like Jimmy was trying to make sure Kim was okay, with how worried she is for him, how scared she is for him, how sad she is for him, how hard it’s to see him there, how hard it is to leave him there.
Even with him helping her light the cigarette, he’s trying to tell her that he’s okay now.
Rhea Seehorn, EW.

For Jimmy, I think it’s a little different. Kim chooses to leave. She’s changing what she’s going to do. And Jimmy … is so hurt. To me, that’s what the ending is. The question we started with on the show is, “What problem does becoming Saul Goodman solve?”
And I think this episode answers it. He’s so fucking hurt – can I curse? I’m going to curse. He’s so hurt, he’s so wrecked by what happens that he flattens himself out into a cartoon character.
It’s terrible, because now you know that during Breaking Bad, and in this scene at the end of the episode, underneath all that is still the guy we knew. It’s not Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
He’s flattening himself out.
