[QUOTE="Jasper, post: 2332, member: 5"] Yes, and it’s Jimmy leading Jeff down the road to perdition. We’re used to seeing Jeff’s shifty eyes in the rear-view mirror of his cab, but now his eyes look deeply desperate and afraid, as Jimmy urges him onward from the backseat. (The actor who plays Jeff in season 6, Pat Healy, in general has wonderful facial expressions.) I’ve tried to think of ways that this could not be a disaster for Jimmy, sort of like the psych-out where the duct tape was left behind on the door, only to be retrieved a moment later. He could experience a change of heart and leave the house (unlikely), or he could find the mark having a medical episode and call an ambulance or something, saving his life (also unlikely). As much of a scumbag as Jimmy has been, having seen his life in an intimate way, it’s hard not to want him to escape doom. In the scene with Mike, Jimmy (as Saul) says of Walter, “A guy with that mustache probably doesn’t make a lot of good life choices.” The following scene is Jimmy as Gene with his mustache, in his home in Nebraska, about to get a call about the abandoned break-in and go completely off the rails. Another thing in the scene with Mike is Mike describing a criminal who goes down for a crime and does the time without implicating a single member of his crew. I wonder if that could be subtle foreshadowing for what Jimmy will (or won’t) do. That was a beautiful shot before the phone call, and it’s also rich with meaning, since this is the [I]crossroads[/I] where Jimmy flips out and resolves to return to a life of crime. When he smashed the phone booth, it reminded me of Walter White smashing the towel dispenser. [/QUOTE]
