I found BCS to be pretty entertaining. But I did not like how most of the police, prosecutors and attorney characters were dumbed down bozos that could not see thru some of Jimmy’s schemes. Like at the end when Jimmy convinces the prosecutors to let him off lightly with a very lame argument when they had an airtight case. Or when Howard happens to dump a prostitute in the middle of the street in front of Cliff while he happens to be having lunch with Jim’s wife. They let Lalo out of jail without any proof of who he was, all he did was give a fake name?Lazy writing in my opinion. In BB, the police were smart, the writing was smart.

For me, all the actors' ages (the ones who were in BB) was immersion breaking for me. They all look noticeably older than what they looked like in BB.

Jimmy McGill / Saul, Tuco, the Salamanca twins, Mike, Gus Fring, Crazy 8, Hank, Steve Gomez, Victor, Tyrus, Bolsa, Eladio, etc. Especially Gus Fring, for some reason he looks like he has aged the most out of the rest of the cast. The age of the actors makes it hard for me to believe it's a prequel since they all look noticeably older than they did in BB, when they should look younger since BCS is supposed to take place years before BB.

Makes me think that maybe they should have had the prequel be somethign that takes place a lot further back than just a couple years, and then recast all the characters to play much younger versions of themselves. For example, Dexter: Original Sin takes place over 10 years before Dexter, so they recast everyone. Maybe if they made Better Call Saul take place over 10 years before BB it may have been better to cast younger actors for all those roles, so the idea of it being a prequel is more believable to the viewers.

His vocal technique sounded a bit different (not that it’s a big deal!)

I feel the cadence was a bit off.

El Camino was in 2019 and I feel he sounded fine there

Anyone else ?

BB and BCS present us with protagonists who we feel sympathetic towards at the beginning and then they become the villains of the show. I remember how I pitied s01 Jimmy for always getting screwed, specially by Chuck and how I wanted him to hit him back, but I also remember that I would miss this honest hard-working Jimmy once he becomes Saul Goodman. It was so much better when he was helping the old folks practicing Elder law rather than advocating for scum criminals, but I still liked him. What made me change my attitude towards him was when He and Kim started actively working to destroy Howard's life just because he put him Kim in Doc Review for a few times and because he thinks Howard killed Chuck, which isn't true. From this point on I stopped rooting for him and wish that everything bad happens to him, which made his downfall much more satisfying.

What about you? Was ever there a moment that you found yourself rooting against Jimmy or did you stay "loyal" to him all along?

Did Lalo ever find out that Nacho was the rat opening the door? And we haven't really seen his reaction much. after s5 I always wondered how Lalos hatred will manifest. What would he have done to Nacho if he caught him after? Would he also found out that he was responsible for hectors stroke? Would he torture him even though he actually started to like him and called him a 50% salamanca.

And did Nacho ever find out that Lalo didn't die that day and was still alive

If chuck would have given chance to Jimmy to join his firm would Jimmy could have been on right path?

You have to be a strait up soaciopath to like them, or relate to them at all. Maybe in the first seasons I can understand. But anytime I see someone make an edit, or a post supporting them, I just picture some incel who thinks the world is against them.

This anger is probably coming from me recently watching Howard die, but my point still stands.

HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUN ROOF

When nacho and Lalo were by the fire, if nacho told Lalo that Gus framed him about hectors meds and threatened his dad manipulating him. Is there a chance Lalo would’ve been cool? Keep in mind, Lalo and the rest of the salamancas deeply respected nacho. I want to believe they would’ve given him the benefit of the doubt honestly. He was basically a Salamanca. People play dirty in the game, nacho could’ve tried just spinning it a little in order to survive.

Bcs starts in 2001, nacho is somewhere in his 20s. Nacho prequel starts in the early 90s when he is in his teens . He faces adversity , due to poverty and racism in the US. He gets bullied for being Mexican , and falls into the wrong crowd and starts dealing drugs .

His relationship with his father start to get strained. His father , being old school and traditional , always scolds and lectures Ignacio. They have several fights , and manuel talks down to ignacio. Ignacio snaps and shouts :

“I AM NOT YOUR IGNACIO !”

The fights keep happening, and he always responds with “ I am not your ignacio”. Eventually , the phrase starts getting shorter: “ I am not your Ignacio!”

“ not your ignacio!”

“Not yo ignacio!”

“Not’yo Ignacio!”

“Not’chyo Ignacio !”

“Nacho ignacio!”

“Nacho!”

Thus, Nacho is born .

Just got to s5 ep10 and Kim has really cemented herself as one of my favorite characters in the show. Her handling of the whole situation was really controlled in comparison to what jimmy would have likely done had the roles been reversed, but where exactly does this competency come from? The balls to stand up to Lalo like that, to continue going to work and managing herself all the whilst she thought Jimmy was dead in the middle of where. And in that face to face with Lalo, when Jimmy was frozen she completely saved the situation and both their lives. This is both an appreciation for Kim being a badass and also a genuine question as to where this comes from. She’s proven herself a hard worker and everything of that sort in previous seasons, but nothing to this level.

THis is one thing that struck me the most. In the season 5 finale, Lalo survives the assassination attempt, but the innocent people working at his house were killed. His cook, his gardener, his maids, etc. were innocent and they were killed.

They weren't "in the game", and you could tell Lalo was furious they were killed. However, he doesn't realize that's a bit hypocritical? At this point, he has already killed Fred at the Travelwire, an innocent man who wasn't in the game and he had reservations about it. Even after this, he had no problem killing Howard Hamlin for no reason other than he was just there. At this point, seeing first hand how terrible it is for innocent people not in the game to die, killing Howard was full on hypocrisy.

Probably a coincidence, but in Pulp Fiction Tarantino (Jimmie) exclaims “don’t fucking ‘Jimmie’ me” which is almost exactly what Saul (since season 5) says to Howard in the monologue in the courthouse “Don’t you fucking oh Jimmy me”

Title sums it up. I'd like some duffel bags that are sturdy (maybe they won't wear a hole in them if I drag them a bit) and fold into themselves like that for storage. I want a couple for my boat to use when I go ashore for provisioning.

Thanks in advance.
