Anyone seen the cartoon? They should have a made a Badger and Skinny Pete cartoon instead.
I think I may have asked this before but some of the art we see in chuck’s place id love to know what the pieces are. I doubt they are inconsequential. I’ve tried taking photos of my tv screen and doing an image search but they are not clear enough. Does anyone here have any info on them?
I am a great breaking bad fan and when I saw people liking bcs also some even like bcs more than bb. I was intrigued and started watching the show.
But what the hell with space blanket... Whyyy?? Electromagnetic hypersensitivity... I am genuinely curious to know if that is something any of you have ever witnessed in real life?
I couldn't watch futher than 6th episode I guess.
She’s a horrible person!
Really she is. The more I rewatch this show the more I realise that she is an absolutely awful human being. Sure, she has a mountain of positive character traits, and we may like her, but underneath it all is an absolutely vile person.
It’s her who constantly phones Jimmy when she finds a ‘mark’, devises the Huell scam, the Everett Acker scam, and of course, she was entire architect of the scam on Howard, it was her who constantly pressed on. None of this is to exonerate Jimmy but whereas I think Jimmy felt a bit of remorse over his actions like taking away Chuck’s insurance, helping Lalo walk out of jail scot-free, and obviously smearing Howard as a drug addict, Kim didn’t feel any remorse for her actions at all, until Howard’s brains end up splattered over her wall because of HER plan. And even after her actions came back to roost in such a violent way, she STILL goes one step further than Jimmy and gaslights Howard’s grieving wife into believing Howard had been addicted to cocaine for years because of her.
She has the opportunity for what she’s been dreaming of her whole life right in front of her, the chance to democratise access to top shelf legal representation, and she turns the car around to carry on with her stupid scheme against Howard with Jimmy. Even when she knew Lalo was alive she just keeps on with it, not telling Jimmy because she was enjoying fucking with Howard!
While sure, Kim feels sad, quits the law and moves to Florida to live a mediocre life, none of that really takes away what she did. One of the brilliant things about BCS is that towards the end of the show I can never tell if I feel sorry for how Kim’s life turned out and feel for her, whether I think she got exactly what she deserved, or whether I feel frustrated that unlike Jimmy, in the end, she didn’t even get any jail time or real comeuppance for what she did to Howard.
*SPOILER* It wasn't entirely clear to me at the time why Kim proposed marriage to Saul after the Mesa Verde meeting fiasco, but I got the sense during the meeting she had with Lalo during "Bagman" that the legal protection afforded her by being his spouse was immense. Was it explicitly mentioned by Kim that spousal confidentiality privilege was the reason for proposing, or was it just obvious and Jimmy knew it was why she wanted to do it? All I remember her saying to him was "Either we break up or we get married."

(rant warning) every time i rewatch the show and i get to s6 ep3 i get so sad because of Nacho😭
like it makes me feel even worse because the part where Nacho calls his dad to check up on him and his dad doesn’t even know where he is and js hopes that he’s okay literally makes me wanna cry my eyes out 😞
i think he’s an absolutely perfect character and the way that’s Michael mando plays him is also perfect because he rlly gets in detail with Nachos story and even til the last part when Nacho kills himself is really well acted🤞🏼
Just seen the bar hearing scene where sauls trying to get reinstated as a lawyer and when the question “what does the law mean to you” came up I think if he would have stole chucks idea of how the law is sacred and one of mankind’s best achievement the idea that anyone is responsible for there actions and not above consequences they would have fully believed him as sincere or if he would have just mentioned chuck at all.
I wish we saw more of the blowback from Kim and Jimmys confession. Maybe some more Cheryl scenes, or cliff main.
What do you think happens to his legacy in light of the truth being revealed? Does Cheryl actually follow through with the civil suit, is he commemorated in a different way etc?
I just finished Better Call Saul and the ending depressed me.please remind me that He had it coming
The first time Rebecca and Jimmy meet, Chuck leads her into thinking he's still some skeevy dick and even comes up with a signal to make an excuse if she wants him to leave. Instead Rebecca and Jimmy hit it off, and Chucks the one giving the signal, not because Jimmy's acting badly, but because his wife doesn't hate him. Then that night he makes his own lawyer joke, clearly out of insecurity.
My gut says it wasn't the only time it happened. Chuck continued to treat Jimmy like a dangerous monster that nobody would'd wanna be around, probably constantly using that opinion as a reason to not invite Jimmy over or get closer to him. I doubt it was the biggest factor by a long shot, but maybe Rebecca was partly put off by Chuck utter conviction that Jimmy is and always will be good news
Howard fired Chuck.He said he would pay him in stallments for his share of HHM.He gave Chuck 3 million out of his own pocket.Chuck left everything to Rebecca.Both men are now dead.Does Chuck's estate or HHM have to pay Rebecca the remaining money?
One of my favorite character in the show is Howard and honestly i liked chuck too. I don't understand why chuck is soo hated. He wasn't wrong.
Have I just forgotten or missed something? I'm presuming there was some sort of trigger. Thanks.
Hello everybody. I’m just now finishing up watching BCS and I got to thinking which death was the most upsetting. Varga’s suicide to save his father, Hank getting caught up in the Heisenberg mess, or Howard being in wrong place at wrong time. Personally I really liked Varga’s character so I’m leaning that way but Howard and Hank both went out bad considering they were morally good people and not apart of the game (although I wasn’t a big fan of either of them.) I would like to hear other people’s opinions on this
In one of the last episodes of Better Call Saul, I recall Saul and Walt hiding out in the Vacuum store, talking about regrets. Walt tells his bs tale about Grey Matter, and Saul says something like “How could you not tell me about this? We could have done something with this.” I know he lists a few examples, but I am curious. Could they really have done anything about it? We know Walt left willingly, taking a buyout for $5,000.
He left Jimmy at the apartment. Would he go back for him or outright murder him? Or would he head straight to Mexico and leave Jimmy to eventually die…
I think the most likely outcome is he would come back, and keep Kim and Saul working for him forcibly, but i do wonder the tone of that last conversation with Jimmy before he went to the laundry
When Jimmy is sitting on the curb waiting for the cops to arrest him at Chuck's his brother said he is doing this for his own good.He said Jimmy needs to change his ways and Chuck will be there for him.Does anyone think Chuck really meant it.I don't.Chuck just wanted to hurt the brother he spent his whole life being jealous of.Jimmy was right when he told Chuck he would die alone.I don't think Chuck wanted Jimmy to succeed at anything,not just the law.He just wanted to keep him down.
In the first episode Jimmy is complaining to Chuck he is having a hard time financially.Jimmy got up early to get groceries,ice and newspapers for Chuck.Would it have killed Chuck to help Jimmy out?He is a very rich man and Jimmy is bending over backwards to take care of him.I think Chuck just didn't care.
The worst part about the end of the series is how you don’t get to see Tony Dalton absolutley murder this role in every way for even longer
I spent the last 5 days - 12 hrs a day completing the show that I just started out of no where.
Was so happy to see Jimmy and Kim wanting to live another day and in love ( The hand gestures - Pau wau scene had me )
These guys have us a masterpiece and I’m glad I was able to devour all of it - Even though i’m a little late to this Bandwagon
Seeing Walter and Jesse in S6 kinda blew my head. I might start BB for a while, just to dot some I’s.
This is one hell of a reddit community !! Thanks folks !
Lalo going all the way to Germany just to get confirmation on Gus’ project seems like a stretch. I mean, he pretty much knew what was going on underneath the laundromat. What else could it have been? Why did he need to fly all the way to Germany and break into Margarethes house to find and torture one of Zieglers workers?
at minutes 16 to 17 when Jimmy asks how it went with Kevin about the old guy in the middle of the call center field case. I think it is funny.
The intro shows sauls lavish villa being repod but none of that is ever shown again IIRC. Is this the house he lives in during breaking bad or what?
There has been a lot of debate about when Jimmy became fully Saul.He slowly became Saul but Kim always held him back.When signing the divorce papers he went full Saul when he threw it in her face that she would regret not taking her share of the Sandpiper money.He knew how guilty she felt because it was her idea to set up Howard as a drug addict to settle the Sandpiper case.If she hadn't wanted that money to start her own practice,Howard wouldn't have been murdered.
I found her rather dull , apart from the small flares that were her just basically being a slimeball or coming up with another BS monologue to another victim or even close colleague. Are we even meant to like her ? I just found her both extremely boring and also a crafty shceming shell of a woman. Really wouldn’t have cared if she’d have been hit by a truck in an episode, even by the end of the show . Thoughts ?
This may sound stupid but I have no one else to talk about it with, so I will just try my luck here.
So I'm at the point where Jimmy and Kim are trying to ruin Howard's career. I already know the result, I've seen Howard's last scene before I started watching the series and it kinda hurts me, I don't wanna see how their plan will proceed I just wanna skip past the whole thing. However I'm still interested in the other stuff that's going on along side it (about Lalo and Gus, about Gene Tarkovic, about other things that Jimmy does unrelated to Howard etc). I'm thinking about skipping a few episode or watch a summary on YouTube, but maybe you guys have some ideas that can help me?
Howard is routinely seen in court. Howard and Chuck were at the Mesa Verde approval (?) thing. Rich Shweikart was there with his co-counsel at that Sandpiper thing with Kim.
You'd think in a huge law firm with many attorneys, Howard, Rich, Cliff and even Chuck would be likely to handle daily operations and provide some oversight and be in meetings and maybe only meet very high profile clients in the office.
Is this normal or do they typically only show up for very high profile cases? Would it also depend on the size of the law firm?
Why did Saul turn down the job at Neff? He would have been an exceptional fit and they wanted to hire him on the spot so why did he tank his interview?
