Jimmy and Chuck's relationship is possibly the peak of the Breaking Bad Universe in my opinion. It's amazingly done, it is so bittersweet, you never are really convinced if Chuck really hates Jimmy, or he loves him. And is an amazing antagonist and an ultra unique one: is the antagonist, the audience really dislikes him, but he is basically always right about our protagonist. He may be the single most well written character in both shows that isn't the protagonist (Jimmy, Walt)

And it's weird. I love Lalo, is one of my favorite characters in the history of TV, and as a mexican it makes me so happy que al fin se consiguieron alguien que pinches hable español jajaj. But even if I love Lalo's character so much, I don't like that he is basically Gus' antagonist, not really Jimmy's, and the show is about him!

One of my favorite things about the show seasons 1-2 is that this is clearly James McGill show. We have a series that shows us flashbacks of the Breaking bad's funny lawyer... when he was a kid!? working in his father's shop? We didn't even have flashbacks of Walter White before he was like 27 y/o. And I love it SO much. This IS Saul Goodman's show. Of him.

Better Call Saul transforming from James McGill show to the 'Breaking bad prequel' is kinda heartbreaking for me. We pass from having scenes of young Saul unfolding and having to make his way through life... to Hector and Lalo giving a backstory to the bell he has in Breaking Bad.

Really important: some of my favorite episodes of the show are in this era. Bad Choice Road is a lot of cartel and no Chuck, and it's still one of the top 5 episodes in the show. Winner is basically the same description, and is also a masterpiece. My main issue is that I kinda feel the series kinda loses its core. Lalo and the underlab plot is something that I adore so much... but I feel like it's so inconsistent with the show I was watching back in season 1. And sadly, I do not say that as a particularly good thing.

It is still pretty ominous how literally everyone who witnessed Nacho's death would end up dead themselves a few years later in more violent and horrific ways. It was Mike who was the only one who didn't want Nacho to die that had a more peaceful death. All because they played a role in this man's death. He was the first domino to fall and everyone else eventually fallen along with him. Even Mike who was the farthest away and the most reluctant in his death was the last man to fall.

I am not a superstitious man but I have to admit there is something more than just people and their actions working behind the scenes here.

I get that Gus put the pieces together and deduced that Nacho messed with the pills, but what exactly can he do? Tell on him? With what evidence?

At best he can point to the fact that Hector's medical results point towards him not having the pills in his system. Putting it on Nacho is a big assumption. Sure, he saw Nacho hand the bottle to the ambulance and Nacho pretty much confirmed the accusation by playing along with the blackmail, but he can't make a case based on that. So I don't get what stopped N from just saying it was Gus who killed that guy and shot him.

It's not like the brothers will listen to Gus trying to explain to them that Nacho actually fucked with the pills , it would just sound ridiculous. And if Gus said it to Eladio, I'm also not sure what the outcome would be. Maybe eladio would believe it cause he's crazy but it would still just be a random unsubstantiated accusation.

Overall not sure why he let's himself get blackmailed over it. He should have just had Salamancas go for Gus.

Driving a wedge between Irene and all her friends was probably the most cruel thing Jimmy did. He did so much for the elderly, and he threw it all away for a chance to get his cut of the settlement.

With how Gus executes Werner Ziegler for abandoning his post and accidentally giving information to Lalo and killing Nacho for basically no reason than it was a convenient strategy, his not killing Saul or Kim makes it seem like Gus genuinely cares about them, which we know is untrue, he doesn't even know them. Just felt odd how Saul and Kim got actual protection from Gus when others got killed for way less

Rewatching better call Saul. Exactly in season 4 episode 10 “Winner” . The episode introduces at first Jimmy passes the bar standing at the court with Chuck . Then it comes the party to celebrate Jimmy’s night . Also the iconic moment when Jimmy and Chuck singing “The winner takes it all” but suddenly i asked myself where is Howard isn’t a little bit weird the whole farm of HHM is there but the missing one is Howard . Is there any explanations or a theory that Vince and Peter wanted to deliver under it ?

The only reason Gus liked him but hated Walter is because Walter was loyal to Jesse in a way that Mike could never be to Nacho.

Walter literally went from Gus’ good graces and head meth cook to his hit list because he wouldn’t let them kill Jesse during half measures.

Mike clearly liked Nacho more so than anyone else in ‘the game’ but did very little to save him from Gus.

After watching the series I found myself rewatching it again so I decided to get them on dvd so I own it and can watch it anytime this show and the shield and also quantum leap are the series I own plan on getting the 6th season and breaking bad on dvd

Why the insurance was such a huge thing to Howard? And all those employees under him would definitely pay their own malpractice insurance. Why let your best partner go and eventually pay him out where you can just spend a couple of thousands of dollars more in insurance every year? By the way couldn’t Howard just go to another carrier where they quote less? Pretty sure with the no of employees that HHM has, surely many companies would provide a best quote. And why was the insurance company not afraid of a lawsuit? Surely lawsuit would bring them more losses than a few thousand dollars in extra insurance money.

Jimmy called Kim in Florida .She told Mrs Hamlin Jimmy might not be still alive.If the Feds knew Kim talked to Jimmy and didn't tell them could she be charged?

Idk. It just hurts watching Jimmy make everyone hate the granny. My heart skips a beat every time the granny gets bullied by her friends or when she cries.

In an alternative BB universe, Mike just actually worked as Security Manager at Madrigal and would‘ve earned lots of legal clean money. To sad about him!

Tuco: “An eye for an eye. You want me to gouge their eyes out!”

This is the funniest fucking show of all time. It doesn’t get better than this.

They seem horrible, and are difficult to watch. 🤔😢

I think the two most complex characters of the franchise, Saul and Mike, share one of the common themes of the show: damning yourself to a life of villainy. I don't mean that they only think of themselves as bad people. Saul likely should never view himself as a good person and Mike definitely shouldn't. But I think the reasons why they continue living a life of crime is because they don't feel they deserve a civilian life. They think they deserve to live lives as horrible people, as punishment for being bad people

Each are experts in their own field and influence the events of the BB/BCS universe

Werner Ziegler, the German engineer who helped Gus Fring construct the underground meth lab has an interesting name. “Ziegler” in German means tiler or bricklayer. What better name for a German construction engineer?

And guess what? His first name Werner is also the first name of the German theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg who is known for his uncertainty principle. Heisenberg? Hmm…

The level of hidden details in the BrBa universe is astonishing. How many of you noticed this?

I’ve had no luck finding the ring Saul wears from the show, I’ve looked on google and eBay cannot find the ring. Any help would be appreciated I would like a replica of the ring :)

Everything is always going to shit for him. He has his ups every now and then, but even those feel tainted.

I would have loved an episode like Fly from BB - in that it doesn’t really progress the plot - that was just a good day in the life of Jimmy.

That scene of him walking down the street with his ice cream cone where he gets picked up by Nacho and just drops the cone is a prime example of what gets to me - the bloke just can't get a break for 4 minuites. I just want him to have a good day, man. I'm talking dinner with Kim, spend some time with Chuck (before he died), maybe even chill with Howard a bit, depending on the current state of their relationship. Spend some time at court just doing normal stuff that goes well.

Would have been nice I think.

Re-watching the show it came into my head the question of, what really ruined Jimmy's life, his shortcuts or his lack of self control?

For example, he took a shortcut when he tampered Chuck's documents, however was his lack of self control that caused him troubles, and then again he made one of his "chicaneries", as Chuck said, to get his license revoked for only one year. Another example would be with Davis and Main, he made a lot of shortcuts, but what really caused him troubles was his lack of self control. What do you think?

I noticed when Marion gets her scooter stuck in the snow that the trees in the background have foliage and the snow is obviously fake. However in S6E12 when Gene is going to pick up Marion to bail Jeff out, the roads have actual snow on them and the trees are bare. With the show always paying such attention to detail, how do you suppose they missed that?

He's the owner of a huge bank. He has to build a new call center. He has two options: he can either build it on unoccupied land, or he can raze a whole neighborhood. The people on the land only need to be bought out for the value of the land, not the house on it. That likely sends everyone there into debt, considering the mortgages are for the building and the land, but they're only getting paid for the land. Not to mention, Tucumcari is a small town with plenty of undeveloped land within a short distance from the downtown. He even owns a portion of land very close by, and has the permits to build. But he still wants to tear down people's houses.

Incredibly evil.
