slow show by the national is such a mcwexler anthem i can’t even. literally a song about a pathetic man who feels uncomfortable in his own skin and being surrounded by other people and just wants to come back home to the love of his life and make them laugh with some embarrassing joke so he can feel appreciated (but is also scared he might be wrong for them)
also there’s that outro taken from a previous song of theirs ’you know i dreamed about you for 29 years before i saw you, you know i dreamed about you, i missed you for, for 29 years’ and if this isn’t mcwexler culture at its finest i don’t know what is
“howard hamlin is gay” i say into the mic. the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame. “no, she’s right” says a voice from the back of the room. the lights come on. it’s patrick fabian.
stupid new theory based on practically nothing: what if the scene where kim clearly has… opinions on francesca’s decor choices wasn’t just for fun and giggles? we do know saul’s office in brba doesn’t look like that, what if that sequence was somehow meant to tell us it will be kim who’s gonna change everything in saul goodman’s cathedral of justice? what if somehow it’s the foreshadowing — or however you wanna call it — of her getting more and more involved in jimmy’s business in the second half of the season, perhaps with awful consequences?
maybe they’re really getting that better wall after all. but what will be the cost?
