Yes, there's really not much I find likable about scam artist no matter how they rationalize it, its a deplorable personal defect that has a way of hurting more than just the targeted as well. I don't say I haven't any sympathy for whatever inner demons motivate them, but, they are still exihibiting the characteristics of pond scum.
I agree. I didn't care for that scene. I much prefer it when he is out there defending his clients (even though they are criminals), or trying to nail the Sandpiper crooks.
The show paints Jimmy as having a good heart, despite being reckless and unconventional. That bar scene took away from that, I didn't like it.

I don't disagree, but ultimately, they didn't cash the mark's check.
I am confused about last night's episode (Bali Hai). I don't understand why they tried to con the seemingly innocent engineer at the bar? Were they just being....err...criminals? The other guy was a swindler in a previous episode, but this guy seemed fairly innocent.
The check was only for $1,000, made out to a fictitious company name, and they will never cash the check. So to call it a scam is not fair, prank is a better term imo.
Hold on.. remember that in the "Better Call Saul" episode (I think) of Breaking Bad, Saul tells Badger to write him a check made out to "Ice Station Zebra Associates"
So.. Maybe that $10k becomes Saul Goodman's seed money?
Ice Station Zebra Associates is the name of a holding company used by Saul Goodman for tax evasion. In the episode "Abiquiú", Skyler White decides to intervene in Saul and Walter White's money laundering plans in part because she was unimpressed when Saul presented her with a check from Ice Station Zebra Associates.
Ice Station Zebra Associates is also seen in small print in the television commercials for Saul's law firm. "Ice Station Zebra" is itself a 1963 Cold War intrigue novel, adapted in 1968 as a better-known film starring Rock Hudson and Ernest Borgnine. The movie itself appears in "Amarillo", watched by Saul (James McGill at the time) and Kim Wexler .

Loved the balloon man colorful suits ties self sabotage sequence including the music. That was a fun watching experience.
That was great.. That's one of those moments like the cobbler squatter that break up the drama and have some comedy chops coming through.
We're getting alot of pieces here, I think. Jimmy is truly hurt, I think, by Kim rather going it alone than with him. Some nice backstory on Kim as well, though, did anyone else think she wasn't entirely truthful about her background in the interview? It was like she was making it up as she went along.. Very Jimmy-like.
I'm really getting the vibe that Salamanca's stroke might be of Mike's making. If i'm not mistaken, they didn't have a single scene together in Breaking Bad.
And, for Jimmy to be so caught up in that desk.. You'd think it would have been in Saul's office. Maybe it gets gifted to Kim at some point between now and then.
I have to say, for all the 'barely hanging on' that I did in S1.. I'm pretty hooked.. S2 has been a vast improvement.
