When Mike is first introduced in season 2, he is only introduced as a PI working for Saul, and his connection to Gus is not hinted at whatsoever.

Somewhere in season 3, they decided that Mike would be Gus’s right hand man. I’m not sure what episode this is. Does anyone know when this is first foreshadowed or properly shown! Thanks for the help.

I personally lean towards Hank, although even without having all the context of Better Call Saul Jimmy is still a good option, maybe Skyler but my final vote is for Hank.

Walter Jr. ended up getting hooked on the product he was producing and ended up dying. This would have been the only way WW would have seen his own pure evil. WW got off easy in the end.

It's amazing, on, I guess the third watch-through, just how much Hank sacrifices his career on his quest to catch Heisenberg. He's passed up his promotion and spent all his time and broken so many rules that have gotten him in trouble as early as the second and third seasons. Never appreciated just how invested he was in this specific case

Holy shit. I just finished watching BB for the first time. I don’t know how to feel. I know most people say they wish they could watch the show again for the first time; I’m glad I got to have a great time watching this show and cherishing it. Just thought I would share this lol, it’s my new favorite show now. I’m currently watching El Camino, I can’t wait to start BCS!!

are really about crystals?

and his favorite person to talk to about them are with the guy who understands the difference between rocks, minerals, and crystals? lol

maybe napolean dynomite might know about using them for time travel, but couldn't i make the argument that hank is qualified as TRUELY obsessed on every level?

he's the anti-jesse.

Thinking back on it now, I realize that a lot of the characters deserved better than they got. However, there were seven that I determined filled the quota of "deserved better" the most. Which of these characters, in your opinion, deserved better the most out of my personal list of characters that deserved better the most? For me, it's definitely Mike.

1. Mike

2. Jesse

3. Hank

4. Gomez

5. Saul

6. Howard

7. Skyler

S2E4, Walter says, "I dreamt that I owned an antique icicle repair shop. ...in Ireland."

It's on my ~6th rewatch I just realized, only by LOOKING THIS UP, that it was NOT an antique icicle repair shop! Holy bananas! I just now looked up "antique icicle repair shop in ireland" because it's funny, and saw countless posts about this weird "bicycle repair shop" dream... like that's what he said???

In my head, he was like chipping icicles and dripping water on them, so finely, making sure they retain their perfect soft shape for generations to come. Icicles obviously being very fragile antiques subject to melt and crack! Breaking Bad being a comedy makes this pretty fun.

The thing is, I swear I looked this up on the 3rd or 4th series rewatch because it sounded really funny, and I either found something about icicles or didn't even find it or something - I came out of that rewatch sure he said Antique Icicle Repair Shop. Why did I hear it so consistently each time (nobody sees this line coming!)? Why didn't I find out the first time I looked it up? Am I the only one?

God I'm like Hank realizing Heisenberg was close enough to check him for a hernia this whole time

If Mike hadn’t been shot in Salud and forced to stay in Mexico while recovering, how, if at all, do you think Season 4 might have ended differently?

Because of Mike’s absence, Gus was relying more heavily on Tyrus and other individuals we hadn’t seen in previous episodes for protection. I think Walt would have had a much harder time getting away with the plan he pulled at Casa Tranquilla if Mike were around, but I wonder if Mike would have been able to stop the events from unfolding in the way they did. Did Gus’s ultimate demise happen as a result of inferior or less astute protection from those surrounding him, or was it inevitable because of his insatiable need for revenge?

I've seen the series countless times and was always curious about this weird subplot where he does the renovations (heater, remediation, etc.) Anything I'm missing? Any thoughts? Could be absolutely insignificant, and I'm just trying to find something that doesn't exist!

hes annoying as hell and I was hoping hank would beat him to death

no, calling everyone bitch is not funny or entertaining at all

He is a chemist[maybe it has to do with them being portrayed in negative light?)

He simply said this: The whole premise is unrealistic.

U don't suddenly become a criminal in life especially in 50 after a life of lawfully abiding by the rules. U become a criminal after u steal a purse when u r five or a wallet at 7.

How can I convince him to watch?

If you were Hank in breaking bad and experienced all of the same things in breaking bad when would you think that walter is 100% Heisenberg?

I'm my humble opinion, Walter did everything in his power to ultimately protect his family, he tried to help Jesse despite he wasn't making it easy for Walt to work with him. I feel like Jesse's ending was deserved for failing to realise that Walt was protecting him. He saw Walt as this purely conniving character because he poisoned Brock through his juicebox for the intention of waking up Jesse to Gus.

Before everyone starts being keyboard warriors I just wanted to assert this is my opinion and I understand if you look at it a different way from me. In fact that's one of the many things I love about this series, it gives you multiple ways to perceive characters based on moral decisions they have made. I would love to have a discussion.

Walt contacts Saul to sue Gretchen and Elliott. Saul is touched by the story of Walt and how the company profited off him without him getting anything and his current illness and uses his lawyer skills to sue them and giving everything he can. After a lengthy battle Walt wins $80 million settlement and dies of his illness leaving his family enough money for generations. A wholesome Justice story.

Pretty much as the question says. Finding that book confirmed Walts’s involvement. And you could probably infer that he was a major cook. But why does Hank believe Walt is responsible for the full extent of murders etc? How does he know this

His naivety and childish behaviour makes the character even more entertaining.

On this rewatch I was eager to see those oranges rolling on the floor.

...poison Brock? Was there really no other way that Walt could get Jesse back on his side? Why did he have to go out of his way to harm an innocent child when an apology to Jesse for the fight they had could've fixed everything?

”When You’re in Prison” by The Offspring always makes me think of the prison killings montage

”Avoiding Mirrors” by Charley Crockett makes me think of BB/BCS in general. I could see this song working for any type of montage

How can Vince and his team write compelling, believable, breathing female characters for their show in a non-sexist way? They can write everyone from a sex worker to an ambitious corporate climber, from a sycophant to a Karen, from a traditional housewife to an emo girl. Yet every single one of them is on their own character, having their own place in the show. Even side characters do not fail to make an impression.

In this day and age, where we get awfully written female leads and side characters from Disney, Amazon, Marvel, Ubisoft, EA, and countless other giants whose media I consume, which spend millions of dollars on screenwriters, these guys just manage to pull up their pen and paper and write amazing, memorable women.

Brock Cantillo, Andrea's son. We know the major reason why Jesse avoided escaping the Nazis again despite having many chances to do so was because of the threat that the Nazis may harm Brock if he does. The question is, is Brock still in danger? I know Walt killed a large majority of the Nazis, but some of them may not be in that compound that night, for sure some who did those timed murders of Mike's associates in prison have extended sentences and thus arent in the Nazi compound that night to get killed, but still have ample knowledge of Walt, Jesse and co to continue the threat and/or to relay it to whomever outside prison that could kill Brock.

I just want to lose this thought, is there any evidence that the ABQ police/DEA learned of the threat so that they could protect Brock and his remaining family?

Hey all, this christmas i wanna get my brother a bottle of the Mezcal made by Bryan and Aaron but it doesn’t ship to my state. would there be a way to get some either some third party or from some nice redditor?
