good morning i'm gonna be thinking about these tags all week so thanks for that
#almost everyone but kim is becoming exactly who they’re expected to be on a surface level#and the tension is happening in the depths as they fight it
and kim is also acting in response to what people think she should do or be; she's just going in the other direction. they're all allowing their actions to be determined in some way by the gravitational pull of fate and in so doing they're sealing that fate. macbeth is calling

good morning / evening / happy timezone! if you feel like it, what are some of your favourite BCS interviews, text or video?
oh man, hell yes! thanks for asking! ♥️
i’ve definitely forgotten some good ones and this is shamelessly biased toward my favourite characters, but hopefully this is a good place to start especially if you’re looking for kim + jimmy talk!

How They Made It: The Spectacular Fifth Season of ‘Better Call Saul’
a great article with quotes from everyone. home of the famous “these are two people who got a law office for love and got married for business.” quote from peter, and the lesser quoted set-up which i love just as much:
“I think if you were to ask her, the character, ‘Well, why are you getting married?’ she would say, ‘Because Jimmy told me that he lies so he can protect me from having to testify against him.’ Which is a very lawyerly reason. But I think they get married because they love each other.” 🥺
How Rhea Seehorn Became Better Call Saul's Greatest Showman (huge props to @scullysflannel for totally crushing it)
And she’s not ready to do that.
‘Better Call Saul’ Star Rhea Seehorn: ‘It Is A Crazy Ride From Here To The End’
more great stuff from rhea and really interesting commentary on kim+jimmy’s relationship in season 4 (up to 4x07). “But Kim’s filling up every second of every day because God forbid she should just sit with her feelings for a minute.”
Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk on Jimmy's strange reaction to Chuck's death
short and heartbreaking interview with bob about jimmy’s headspace in episode 4x01
Rhea Seehorn on ‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3 Finale: Is Kim Finally ‘Breaking Bad?’
rhea talking about the end of season 3.
Bob Odenkirk still has hope for Saul Goodman in penultimate season
i love this one because bob talks about jimmy’s anger and im obsessed with the anger of both these characters
Better Call Saul finale: Michael McKean explains Chuck's shocker
really long and interesting interview with mckean about chuck! most of these interviews have helped guide my fic a lot but my chuck notes are like 90% quotes from mckean in this. definitely worth a read if you’re interested in mckean’s thoughts on what makes chuck tick!

Conversations with Bob Odenkirk of BETTER CALL SAUL
this is my favourite bob interview. i think the interviewer asks maybe three questions, and the rest is bob going ham. they did it towards the end of filming season 5, and i feel like he’s completely in the headspace of the character.
highlights include (starting at about 6:00) recounting his email argument with peter over a line reading -- a line that was written as a statement but bob wanted as a question. he says it’s from episode 9, but my big theory is that he’s talking about the “hundred thousand?” from 1x08, because he does a vince impression when he talks about the episode’s director.
and at 16:00 -- “i love the scene at the graveyard. did you say ‘boo-hoo’?”
Rhea Seehorn dishes Kim's fate on 'Better Call Saul'
all these gold derby ones with rhea and bob are fascinating and this one really launches right into it.
such great stuff about kim using silence as a position of power, and kim’s motivation for the chuck takedown (she’s defending jimmy but also she wants to keep mesa verde! “she has her own ego and ambition issues”). and then at 12:30 -- “asking chuck, do you realise that, if this is true, your brother would go to jail? and he’s fine with it. and it’s so disturbing [to kim] that he is that black and white.”
i love about 9:00 in, too. kim gives jimmy “counsel without judgement, which i think is a very different thing than he’s getting from other people in his life.”
as you can see i started rewatching and now i’m helplessly adding more and more rhea quotes to this section. it’s so good and every gold derby one is SO good.
Inside the Writers Zoom with Better Call Saul, hosted by Patton Oswalt
patton interviewing some of the writers! some great stuff at about 15 minutes about the proposal and the kim flashback.
i’m also forever haunted by mr. peter gould’s twinkly little all-knowing eyes in any interview he’s in. peter tell me your secrets (don’t tell me i want to wait) but tell me
Conversations at Home with BETTER CALL SAUL
uh this one is just a joy to watch and there’s so many dogs 🐶
hopefully that’s a good amount and not too overwhelming! i’m also looking forward to kicking myself in a week when i think of all the great stuff i forgot to include 😂
preemptively blaming you for the number of hours i'm about to spend on geoguessr
omg peej you are SO welcome. The hours I have spent driving around Argentina or whatever trying to read billboards and figure out where tf I am. BLISS.
It is worth signing up for a (free) account and playing the one per day free game (5 locations to guess) that uses the google street view database. It is 1000x better than the cheaper map database that they let you play unlimited free games on. (It used to be entirely free, but Google jacked up their prices for applications using their map data, because they are jerks, so I get why they had to institute subscriptions) (on the other hand google did put in the time driving down every single road on earth and taking high-res pics of them so...fine)
I caved at the beginning of lockdown and paid for a pro account because some days one game is NOT ENOUGH, MAN.
PJ! In the short time that we’ve known each other, there’s nobody else I would rather have X-Files watch parties with 🥰 I also love your bcs/xf aesthetic posts – like, just inject those pics straight into my veins please. You’re also funny and well-spoken and also well-traveled, it’s pretty amazing. You've probably been to more places in the US than most Americans.
Thanks for being a great friend, fellow clown and messed-up-sleep-schedule-haver! ❤️🤡

You know, I feel like I’m really lucky. I know this fandom is often volatile (and most/all fandoms are, to varying extents), but my personal experiences have been vastly more positive than not. I love flailing with all y'all over this show and these people, reading the amazing fic and seeing the incredible fanart/fanvids everyone produces, feeling that sense of nerdy community that I don’t really get to the same extent irl. It’s great and I love everyone in this bar. :)
@dangerscully RE: masmtwm – agreed, I still love the episode and I would probably put it in my top 20! I think the only thing that bothers me about the speedo shot (because trust me, there is a LOT I like about that image) is just... who sleeps like that? And is there a pool at the weird taxidermy motel? Mulder brings his speedo to sleep in? I have a lot of questions.
