@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@wlwexler @sIippinkimmy

She couldn’t have married Jimmy before the Kevin thing because women don’t usually propose and she needed a really good reason. She essentially blackmailed Jimmy into marriage. And again, I didn’t doubt that they like each other. You’re trying to refute a point I didn’t make.

@wlwexler @sIippinkimmy

As I said: “I did say she likes Jimmy, then again lots of gold diggers loved their victims at one point or another.” He even asks her in one scene, pointing at himself: “Seriously? This guy?” Lalo comments how Jimmy’s dating someone out of his league… and so on.

Contrary to your claims, I think it would add a lot of depth to the story and her character. It also explains why we don’t see her in breaking bad without her having to die!

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@wlwexler @sIippinkimmy

There’s a scene early on when the Sandpiper thing just started where she and Jimmy talk about it and she slips up and says “we” could afford so much with the money. I did say she likes Jimmy, then again lots of gold diggers loved their victims at one point or another.

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@wlwexler @sIippinkimmy

I realize that’s the reason she gave. I just think when he fucked up and she wanted to end it unless they get married she used his mistake to get a legal claim to the Sandpiper money. He broke her trust in a major way and nobody would want to get married after that.

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@sIippinkimmy

My theory for what’s going to happen (you won’t like it if you like Kim): she likes Jimmy but the real reason she wanted to get married is to get half (or all?) of the sandpiper settlement. She’ll divorce him after that. She’s a gold digger.
