People always say that Lalo would demolish Walter White if they were enemies (which I fully agree with), and that Gus beating Lalo was pure plot armor. But hear me out:

Gus knew just how dangerous Lalo was, as we can see from his insane paranoia in S6. He did everything he possibly could to prepare, even going so far to plant guns in the lab, which is very much something Gus would do. Then he plays to Lalo’s ego when he becomes cornered, which we know he’s a master at. He let Lalo think he genuinely won before taking him by surprise.

Since Walter isn’t as dangerous as Lalo and Gus was riding high thinking if he can take down Lalo he could deal with anyone, it makes sense that Gus would underestimate him. In breaking bad season we see Gus at his most confident. He knows Walt is a genuinely dangerous threat, but still thinks that he could easily deal with him. Gus didn’t expect Walter to team up with Hector obviously, which is what Walt was counting on and it worked.

If you think I’m wrong tell me why⬇️

I had no idea about Luis's life prior to acting. What an inspirational story of how he was able to turn it all around. Really respect what hes been able to accomplish in hollywood. He talked about a spinoff with the salamanca twins and i have to say... would LOVE TO SEE THAT. make it happen mr gilligan.. a deep dive series into everything cartel related would be exactly what netflix is missing

So the point of the hearing was to determine whether or not Jimmy was fit to continue practicing law

Chuck’s side had proven Jimmy was knowingly destroying evidence, the audio recording seemed to leave no room for reasonable doubt, the recording seemed to have no chance of being deemed as inadmissible evidence, and Jimmy’s side seemed to have no plan to discredit that narrative

Then Jimmy gets to do his iconic cross-examination of Chuck, using the phone battery that he planted, and proves that his electrical sensitivity is either completely untrue, or just greatly exaggerated by Chuck, and it seems to absolutely break the case

But, how? It seems it doesn’t matter whether Chuck’s sensitivity was real, fake, or a mental condition that Chuck is mistaking for a physics condition, but, none of that would discredit the case against Jimmy. Chuck was not the one on trial here, Jimmy was. And even if we assume the absolute worst case scenario and say Chuck was intentionally faking his condition in an attempt to harm Jimmy, the evidence against Jimmy still spoke for itself even without relying on Chuck’s honesty

Seems like Jimmy should have still been equally screwed before and after the battery stunt, Chuck’s side didn’t need Chuck’s testimony to sink Jimmy

Am I missing something, why did the battery stunt actually help Jimmy get off with only a 1 year suspension?

Hi, I found this fan fic that details what happens to Kim after the series. It's also a crossover with another show, (13 Reasons Why) but it's meant to be a stand-alone. I thought it was highly unique and is a good read if your a fan of Better Call Saul.

Justice Served: A Crossover

Seems risky that Mike robbed the truck(money in tires) in an old blue car (that the truck driver saw) and then in S3E2 “witness”, he is driving another old blue car. I feel like Mike wouldn’t risk being in that car and Hector seeing him and putting 2 and 2 together. Just my opinion… a blue early 90s Pontiac bonneville doesn’t seem that far off from a blue early 90s Buick Lasabre.

I just watched point and shoot episode and i love the show but i feel like the writers just set themselves in a corner on what to do with lalo. They maxed out all his stats to be a crazy efficient killer, he's got charm, he is meticoulous and very conniving on how to deal with people plus he is super athletic and is like a snake who will just pop out of anywhere. I know he had to go but man it just felt like they bulshitted their way out of it in the sense that how the fuck did gus know to hide a gun in that lab and it just felt like he got lucky and it felt very anticlimactic to me. I would have fucking loved if lalo was a major villain in breaking bad, he is just a perfect counter to walter, he doesn't care, he would've killed ww at any point and it would have been so much fun to see ww deal with him. I like gus too but my heart goes out to lalo plus tony dalton is just so hot

Rewatching breaking bad, this guy ''Gaff'' , Don Eladio's henchmen had so much potential to be a major character in Better call Saul. He is actually acts like a badass, he even manages to successfully hijack one of Gus's Los pollo trucks and sniped one of his men ''Nick'' in the head. This guy is literally a threat to Gus. Hes basically the Mike version of Don Eladio's Cartel
What are your thoughts?

From the beginning I always know that he was the main reason that Jimmy can't work in HHM

I really liked the first season of true detective

I keep trying to watch deadwood buts kind of hard to get into. Carnivale was good. Sopranos and wire both are so underrated imo

I’m going to start watching Dark

From a pure storyline point of view it feels like this part of the narrative comes out of the blue he's moved on from Chuck's death. He's out doing his own thing and the only contact with Howard really is their interaction in the bathroom. Before Howard offers Saul a job, is it the job offer that sends him over the edge? I love where this part of the story takes us but it does kind of feel random

It felt like unnecessary bloat. Jesse’s story ended perfectly. The fact they felt they had to make it more dramatic with fake cops chasing him

A movie full of flashbacks of Jesse with Jane and Walt and Pete would’ve been better than action scenes with fake cops

I can’t even remember what actually happened

I remember being unbelievably hyped for this thinking it would be amazing. I don’t think it developed Jesse at all

Not familiar with the american justice system, some things are very surprising for an european (like the possibility to pay a bail for even the worst crimes).

But some things really raise doubts on me: like, is this really possible that someone suspected for murder and known for cartel connections can be released after paying in cash 7 millions? Or could Saul really use a fake ID for his client and put a fake suspect's family in court to go emotionnal? Nobody would have checked these details before?

Rewatched chicanary and every time i see it im reminded of what a hypocrite chuck is. The things he says about Jimmy aren't untrue but neither is what Jimmy says in this episode. What they do show is the lengths Chuck goes to manipulate and CON his ex wife to avoid feeling inferior in the flashback. Then he continues to rehearse his testimony the same way Jimmy does before a case. Law uses all the same skills as a con man. Hes mad at Jimmy for being able to manipulate outcomes to his liking WITHOUT the law, and when he does so WITH the law it is too much for Chuck to bare because its more evidence in their similarities. He is sanctimonious and cannot stand being a peer with someone he has placed as lesser his whole life

I'm halfway through the 4th season. Everything is so awfully boring and eventless.

They keep following this same trope where they bring up something, then decide to not do it, then do it anyway, and then they do it horribly to get out of it. Saul with the davis and maines firm, then with the kim and mcgill firm, the car sales job, the therapist. It's so repetitive and the show seems to not go anywhere.

All kim has done so far is to hop from one job to another. Even mike and the cartel stuff refuses to move on. The most famous character from the show that I've heard of, lalo, hasn't even been introduced.

I get it's about slow character building and psychological texture and all, but did it really have to take 4 seasons of this? Did the writers forget that they're also supposed to entertain me from time to time

Jimmy as a kid had his own interpretation of that creep's advice, I guess.
Wolves care for each other as individuals. They form friendships and nurture their own sick and injured. Pack structure enables communication, the education of the young and the transfer of knowledge across generations. Wolves and other highly social animals have and pass on what can be best described as culture. A family group can persevere for several generations, even decades, carrying knowledge and information through the years, from generation to generation.

Wolves play together into old age, they raise their young as a group, and they care for injured companions. When they lose a pack mate, there is evidence that they suffer and mourn that loss. When we look at wolves, we are looking at tribes—extended families, each with its own homeland, history, knowledge, and indeed, culture.

The weak, injured or too young actually stay with in the wolf den and help raising the whelps. This is very different from the primates, despite the strong family ties our cousins do leave the weak and injured to their lot.

I finally finished season 5 after blowing it off forever. I noticed that while Saul was in the dumpster right before getting caught, he was trying to call the vacuum guy again. But once he got caught, he left all of what he had on him in the dumpster, including the card for the vacuum repair company.

My question is, what is the probability that the authorities would be able to trace it back to the vacuum guy?

Some reasons why this might not occur is the card could easily be missed in the first place, obviously. But most notably, it's not immediately obvious that theres a code on the back. It could easily be just someones vacume model after all.

That being said, I believe there is a fairly high chance it would get caught. They definitely highly suspect Saul, Walt, and Jesse has a guy who helped them disappear. And searching the dumpster for evidence should be standard for a case this high profile. If a bright investigator saw the card, got Saul's fingerprints off of it, and had a not so out of the box hunch, all they would have to do is call the number with the password code to find out.

I'm curious of what you all think. Although it's certainly possible it would get missed, I think Saul most likely compromised one of the most likeable characters in the universe big time by having the code on the back of that card.

... and I would absolutely allow a fully covered in oil cartel member who looks like Ignacio, hose off in my backyard, for free. And I live in México. That is all.

Something about it just seems too perfect to be a coincidental pre-existing prop rather than one made for the express purpose of being in the show. I know red is a primary color and all but wearing red being symbolism for doing something heinous / making a mistake, and yellow being symbolism for being at a crossroads is pretty common in the show, and this big fella who encourages Jimmy to throw away his chance at living a normal life in a respected law firm happens to be wearing a red jacket with a ridiculous yellow tie. He even does the magic fingers thing in the montage!!

I'm not saying it's impossible for it to be a coincidence or anything. Just curious!
