Does anyone ever get reminded of Jessie's fascinating description of "these vagina pictures" by Georgia O'keefe when Jimmy tries to rip off Mike by explaining the "bad choice road" to Kim? Lmao

Jimmy McGill, Slippin Jimmy, Viktor with a k, Saul Goodman, Gene Takavic.

got spoiled on season 3 episode 10, i found out chuck dies. I hate people who spoil stuff man.

I saw one other post in this subreddit about the topic, but the responses really didn't seem sufficient. Mike clearly trusts Saul enough to associate with him heavily in Breaking Bad, and confirming his death wouldn't leave behind any physical evidence for Saul to, worst case scenario, use against Mike if he decided to go to the cops. I just haven't seen real reason as to why leave matters like this, especially when Mike knows how much trouble Lalo was for Saul. Can someone put it in a way that makes sense?

Not because I pretend to care about morality like most of the fan base does when it comes to Walt. I simply never found him charming which is why the majority of the fan base excuses him even though he’s done plenty of objectively worse things than Walt has ever done. If Walt smiled and laughed a lot would that have been enough for you all to overlook his actions and not circle jerk about how he’s worse than Hitler himself? I never bought Lalo’s “charm”, it all seemed fake to me and definitely not anything unique. We’ve seen “charming” or smiling, laughing villains before somewhere or another I’m sure. I also did not buy how he seemed to move around like a ninja and John Wick all in one. I’d much rather him seen him act more like an actual drug cartel boss, have an army and giving orders instead of doing most of the dirty work himself. It would’ve been much more realistic and badass to me personally

I think we can all agree that by the end of season 3 , we all hated Chuck as a brother. We all felt bad for poor Lil Jimmy who was Just trying his best. Hah! Guess what, the last 3 seasons, especially by the end, you realize that Chuck was always right about his brother.

The moment Jimmy turns into Saul - it's downhill, fast ! ALSO, may I add, Kim's character arc makes very little to no sense to me.

Anyhow, I have much to vent about finishing the show for the first time.

I mean why not right? It would’ve been sweet to cause Bob Odenkirk and David Cross are best friends I think, since the Bob and David show as well. David Cross could’ve been the perfect Pryce too.

First time through the series and just finished the episode where Nacho dies in season 6.

Why would Nacho antagonize the Salamancas? Wouldn’t admitting to them you’re a traitor with no remorse AND admitting you caused Hector a stroke make them want to kill your father? This is a murderous cartel you’re talking about. They were ready to force his father into the drug game when they thought Nacho was a top lieutenant. What makes Nacho think is dad would be safe from their wrath just because he shot himself.

I know Nacho asked Mike for protection from “anybody who comes after” his father. But would Mike have the ability and resources to keep watch on his father who is out in the community running a business in plain sight. As an insider, maybe Mike can assure Gus and his gang wouldn’t go after him. But that’s about it. Just seems not worth it for Nacho to give himself up for such a weak amount of protection for his father.

Can someone please explain to me what exactly has happened after episode 9 season 6...? And what exactly is happening in episode 10...? I'm just not able to understand any of it like what is that switch after kim leaves him..what happens after that

Kim or Mike? (I personally think S1-3 it’s Mike S4-6 is Kim) but would like to get some other opinions.

So I just saw the ending o bcs and I kinda felt sad about Howard I know he was an ass but if Kim and Jimmy didn't do anything ti him he whould still be alive kinda sad the way he went out but that's just me I whould also like to know your opinions see what you think and sorry if ny English is bad

Since he not appears in breaking bad, the conclusion is, that he doesnt work for gus anymore. So, did he left town for a chick or wasnt able to clean the fryer and got fired, what do you think?

I've only seen her once and I already hate her. She's coldly polite to Howard, despite living in his house and taking his money, even when he's trying to connect and communicate. He doesn't even sleep in his own bed. He tried suggesting they both go to a fundraiser anniversary, and she quickly insists that only she goes. She leaves to have dinner with some other family, not even asking what his plans will be. I hate her character and I've only seen one scene with her, phenomenal job from the actress.

Question in the topic. To preface, I know Gus, Don Eladio's cartel and the events of BCS had not been written when BrBa S1 aired. But, still.

In BCS, all the drug operations on behalf of Don Eladio in the US are delegated to Gus, as Salamancas (thanks to Gus and Mike) proved to be unable to distribute drugs. However, in BrBa, we see Tuco peddle coke/meth in what seems to be Gus'es territory. Why?

I’m doing a rewatch of Plan and Execution and it’s so horribly disturbing what happens to Howard. Wow is all I can say…

Hello all fellow Chicago Sunroofers,

I have a question that Google doesn't seem to want to answer, so I figured I'd give it a shot here. Basically, I want to get something, as in just 1 thing, signed by all the remaining important cast members, if possible (Rip Mark Margolis, it really was his last chance to look at me)

So I figured if I was going to go about this, it would only make sense to start with the oldest cast members first, Johnathan Banks (Mike) and Michael McKean (Chuck). Turns out they're actually the same lucky age of 77 (for 1 more day, happy early birthday Kid named Finger), but that luck is gonna run out eventually, hence starting with them

Question: Does anybody here know of any upcoming events/cons that either of them are slated to be at? Or is there maybe another way to go about this? Assume I'm willing to put my life on hold and fly to make it happen. If not, don't worry about it. S'all good, man

the creator of BB and BCS,

did he create BB and also come up with detailed back stories for all the characters at the same time?

how did he know to give saul all these little details to use later in bcs! its truly amazing and some of the best art in a show ive ever seen.

ex: in BB the episode he meets walter as “ mr mayhew” he mentions how his name is actually mcgill… his back story was already created!

how many other characters do u think he created these elaborate backstories for?

If I remember the setup:

Tuco is initially running the Salamanca interests day to day, at the start of BCS. Hector is either in Mexico or is working there also, but more in the background.

But Tuco had a bad reputation, and a violent temper:

Why would either:

1. Hector

Or

2. The Cartel

Either want, or allow him to be “Acting Capo” as it were, in a more vulnerable position (north of the border - more chances to get busted or cause problems for the wider Cartel)

Rather than someone like Lalo, who was less liable to cause an incident? Who might run things more efficiently?

At this point the Cartel isn’t wholly reliant on Gus for distribution - they still need the Salamancas as distribution and muscle to move their product, also.

So why would they want an unstable frontman managing their American distribution chains? It seemed to me Gus’ territory was smaller at the outset.

One could argue that because Tuco is less intelligent, he’s more controllable - but this is Tuco we are talking about.

Why didn’t they have him managing the Salamanca business south, with a more stable force like Lalo managing it fat to say north?

I just finished s6e3 and there's something I don't understand. I know Nacho surrendered to Gus in exchange for his father's safety, but how did they explain this to the cartel? After all, Nacho wouldn't have ended up in their hands in Mexico

I’m not certain with how precise a microscope the IRS looks into people’s incomes. I imagine that for somebody like Mike, who has been looked into by the police before, it would be quite a strict and careful inspection.

Lydia feels there is no threat of an investigation or audit on the company Madrigal, hence finding out about Mike’s “salary”.

However, Mike is concerned with him as an individual being investigated by the IRS.

Let us suppose this arrangement between them continued till the end of the financial year, or maybe even another year. Who do you think was right?

Lalo seems sorry to see Hector with a birthday hat having to eat his Jello every day, but like... The Salamancas are still sitting on millions of dollars and they have an amazing hacienda south of the border. Couldn't they have put him in a nicer place with home care?

I mean, I now narratively speaking it wouldn't have been as interesting but it just doesn't make sense. He is one of the last of Lalo's and Tuco's family, this is such a neglect for one of the former pillars of the cartel.

I'm rewatching BCS,and I wanna know what peoples opinions are. Do u guys think Chuck was right about Jimmy? I can see both sides. I mean, if Jimmy was honestly trying to be a straight lawyer from the beginning, Chuck was wrong, and its completely chuck's fault that he couldnt change.But I can also see Jimmy always having that "slippin jimmy" quality to him, even when he was trying to a be straight, good lawyer. Like changing 1261 to 1216 or scamming those old ppl. Even if Chuck didnt treat him the way he did, would Jimmy still be Saul Goodman?

Season 6 Ep 7 and 8 is definitely one of the most darkest episodes, with my opinion, Ozymandias and Granite State from Breaking Bad as well.

I mean, Howard, an unfortunate victim in the series, literally lost his life in a second where he's in the sight of Lalo in Ep 7, and after that in Ep 8, where Jimmy and Kim are processing his sudden death, Jimmy was asked to pose as Lalo to kill Gus, where he stays with Kim until Jimmy insist that Kim should go instead, which I thought was a scummy move at first, but in the end it saves her life. And then Lalo decides to just leave Jimmy behind tied to a chair and gagged.

It also for me, shows how much vile and evil the Salamanca family is, Lalo in particular. And I'm glad that Gus delivered the Cartel and most of the Salamanca Family retribution they've deserved.

Harrowing and terrifying, if there's 2 words for the episodes.
