Better Call Saul

[KitbashOfficer]

Lalo stayed in Mexico to find "proof" that it was Gus that attempted to take him out, that "proof" is probably Nacho.
If I have to guess the person tailing Jimmy and Kim is probably a private investigator of Howard, Clifford Main or maybe the Kettlemans themselves.

Hmm, good thinking there. That car had a late 90's early 00's "fed" look.

Oh yea, you're right. I forgot Lalo was looking for "proof." I think you're right that it has to do with Howard. Good call

Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it must be Howard, he certainly must've heard about Jimmy's stunt at the golf course and the timely discovery of the "cocaine" bag in his locker was too much of a coincidence for him to ignore, I feel like Jimmy and Kim will screw themselves over with their approach and ultimately get caught in this jumbled of web of lies they're creating to smear Howard's image, the writers made sure to tell the audience it was baby powder in that bag as well, so that's already one piece of evidence for the case Howard is likely building against Jimmy.

I love the show because it respects the viewer's intelligence.

The writers craft smart stories and plot plotlines that are true to the characters and line up to Breaking Bad.

Word that - I like shows and movies where every shot, every move, every angle, every dialog means something.

My god yes. I know I’m in a massive minority but happy to go on record as saying this show is better than Breaking Bad.

At the least it is VERY close. For some years I’ve considered BB to be the best television drama series from start to finish that was ever produced. When they announced the Saul prequel, I did not think it could in anyway approach it. Im glad I was wrong. Not merely acceptable or good. This is a great series.

Yes. It’s tragedy on a Shakespearean level. I am dreading how they are going to end it.

Got to the end of season four. At this rate it won't be long before I'm all caught up.

Who knew Chuck could sing? That was a surprise.


This series has a bit of everything, and it's so well balanced.

"The Winner Takes it All!" was the perfect moment to summarize the relationship between the brothers, it's so depressing to think about how much their relationship degraded over the course of the show, I've had several family issues as well and it was protrayed so accurately how they grow to hate eachother for really no reason that makes sense to the point Jimmy doesn't even cry when reading his brother's final letter, we humans are funny creatures.

Need to catch up on the show. Is there a Saul figure available? I know there was a Threezero and Present Toys version, but both are unavailable and expensive in the secondary market.

Your best bet is to wait for Mars Toys to make their version. I have Mike on preorder, Gus will be next then Saul I think. And their Mike and Gus look amazing.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Incredible, incredible episode. That's an amazing character arc.

Yep agree. Absolutely flat out loved it. The level of sophistication of this show is head and shoulders above pretty much everything else lol.

 

[R_R_X]

Masterful character arc indeed, what a beautiful ending.

Spoiler

In the end Nacho was the only one that managed to rise above everyone else and bloom into someone truly good, he had been a pawn for the Salamancas and Gus most of his life and his story was really tragic but it was extremely satisfying to see him finally take control of his fate and hold all the cards in his final moments, and he doesn't choose revenge, he doesn't try to run, he doesn't shoot anyone except himself and in doing so he has secured his father's safety and his redemption, he went out on his own terms and even managed to tell Hector to go **** himself, Nacho started out as a two-bit criminal dog of the Salamancas and ended up with more dignity than everyone around him who ended up losing themselves to the life of crime they led while Nacho discovers his true self, the lone flower in the desert is the perfect image to encapsulate this wonderful character, brilliantly played by Michael Mando.

 

[Rambler]

Fantastic episode and one that I have watched a few times now. Might be the best of the series so far.

On a side note, I agree with what was said earlier in that I am dreading how this series will end.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I was sad to see one of my favorite characters in the series go but, wow, what a way to go out. Very satisfying episode for sure.

As great as these shows are, and the figures are, I don't feel the need to own them.

With one exception: Passing on threezero's Walt & Jesse in hazmat suits is one of my biggest regrets.

 

[choombaz]

Another great episode. Rhea Seehorn (Kim) did a great job with her first ever directing gig and stylistically doubled down on everything that makes this show great. Some great performances as well, I mean everyone is, but Giancarlo Esposito particularly great in this one. Too many great moments from the whole set up of Howard especially Jimmy wrestling with the sign to the way Gus has his house set up, remarkably assured first time directing.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I thought it was a bit busy and zany to be honest.

Too much going on between Gus's batcave, Saul as Howard too...I didn't like it as much as previous episodes.
