Kim and Jimmy are together the entire series, met at HMM, got married....but...


Not once do you ever hear them tell each other "I love you".

Yeah, I was trying to think back on the entire series if they had said it, but you're right; not even once.

It's obvious they have genuine feelings for each other, but it is strange that you never hear either one of them say the 3 words.

Maybe in season 6 they finally say it to each other...Kim is not in BB at all so I'm wondering what fate befalls her either she gets tired of Jimmy's shit and leaves or she ends up dying as a result of Jimmy's involvement in the cartel.

The question of Kim alive or dead is a perplexing one. Jimmy/Saul's whole personality throughout BB doesn't come off as a guy who has lost the love of his life. Also bear in mind that the character of Kim didn't exist yet. All we know from BB is 2 previous marriages & from a deleted scene in S03 a third marriage (obviously Kim).

I don't think Kim is dead in BB,& may still show up in the Gene timeline. Maybe she has to go into hiding because of Jimmy's involvement with the cartel; or it could be she loses her law license in her plot to take down Howard to get the Sandpiper settlement. I read somewhere that Peter Gould (show co-creator) has said that this final season of BCS will change peoples perspective on BB, so that should be interesting.

I fully believe kim is dead. It was the final straw to him fully becoming Saul.

reply

You may very well be right. A lot of people have made the argument I pointed out above, but with Peter Gould's comment on "changed perspective", her death (if she does die) would be the final catalyst to fully transforming into Saul.

reply

Probably explains why Saul is single in Breaking Bad. They never really loved each other.
