History BetterCallSaul / TropesOToZ

** While they eventually get better and reconcile, and genuinely are good together ([[DestructiveRomance mostly]]), this is the bug in Jimmy and Kim's relationship. They're coming from similar damage and are very insecure, and both resent actually talking about their feelings, so when their relationship gets into a bit of a lull like all long-term relationships do, Jimmy will assume it's over and he's blown his chance, or Kim gets freaked and make things exciting with a scam.

** Beginning in Season 3, the show explores how [[spoiler:Francesca goes from a perky ex-DMV clerk to the jaded receptionist/accomplice we see in ''Breaking Bad'']].

* TimeSkip: [[spoiler:"Fun and Games" skips into the future after Kim leaves Jimmy. WordOfGod suggests that the scene of Saul waking up in his McMansion [[https://twitter.com/TomSchnauz/status/1550173773705252864 is set in 2007]]]]

* UnholyMatrimony: While they initally act like the marriage is just a legal arrangement, neither Jimmy or Kim can go an episode without mentioning they're married now, and while they're not true sociopaths like Howard accuses, they're both {{villain protagonist}}s.

** In Season 5 Episode 8, a robber is armed with a MP7A1 sub machine gun, which would not be commercially available in 2004 even if the Mexican black market would somehow procure the model. It has not finished development yet.

** The online training videos for Los Pollos Hermanos are deliberately designed to look like it has low production values. The green-screen effects on Gus are not only obvious, but tear in places. Also, the LimitedAnimation has a few flaws, such as dirt and errors on the screen. Finally, the sound quality for Gus doing voce-over work is also bad, as the sound hasn't been equalized and has a very overtuned bass. All of this was done intentionally to make them look realistically tacky, like a real employee training video would look for a fast food restaurant.

--->'''Operator:''' Marion? This is Valerie at [=LifeAlert=]. Are you OK?
--->'''Marion:''' No, Valerie, I'm not OK! There's a criminal in my kitchen threatening me. He's a wanted man, '''''and his name is Saul Goodman!'''''

** In "Waterworks", [[spoiler:when Marion ''finally'' alerts the police to Jimmy's whereabouts.

** In "Winner", [[spoiler:After Jimmy gets reinstated and announces that he's not going to practice law under the name [=McGill=], Kim asks what he's doing. He turns around quips, "S'all good, man!" This signifies that his permanent turn into Saul Goodman has arrived]].
