After watching that final scene of Season 4 where Jimmy finally becomes Saul, I just have to say, my god. What a wonderfully written and acted scene. If Bob Odenkirk doesn’t finally win an Emmy for that “sincere” testimony, I will smash my television.
I completely fell for it and that was the point. Us the fans and Kim have been waiting and waiting to see Jimmy open up about his brother’s death, but he’s been closed off all season. Now, at the end, when he decides to go against his initial plan and not read Chuck’s letter, I thought this was it. Jimmy’s truly broken by Chuck’s death and he’s going to open up about it. I got choked up when he said “I’m lucky I got this letter. I never had a chance to write him a letter and tell him all the things that I should have. And I gotta believe that somehow, somehow he knows.” God, that was heart wrenching and I was in Kim’s shoes and the board’s shoes.
Then he walks out and says, “Did you see those suckers? That one asshole was crying!” And I went from emotions to complete and utter shock. Jimmy essentially called the viewers suckers for falling for his testimony. And it was goddamn brilliant. Odenkirk crushed that scene and Rhea Seehorn was terrific as well. She is beyond speechless. She felt betrayed, confused and it really showed by the look on her face.
I just wanted to express my thoughts on the scene and everyone can feel free to post what they think too. Were you guys “assholes who were crying” like I was?
