Breaking my no face rule for this one but these are too good not to share.

S/O to my friend for taking me/putting up with all these photos LOL

After watching BCS for the very first time, I can proudly say I was entertained.

Saul was so brilliantly manipulative that he could have run away with every scam he did for just 7 years with ice cream on top every Thursday.

Chuck best described him as 'Slippin' Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun.' He was that good.

But in order to reclaim his true identity as Jimmy and to let Kim have a free life, he confessed to his sins and got 86 years.

That's the ultimate lesson I got from this show. Truth may be bitter, ugly, expensive but yet it's sacred and will always be the right thing to hold unto.

I may have to rematch BB now that I have a background story of my favourites in the show like Gus and Mike.😄

Kindly recommend other great shows like this to me in the comments.

I just love how he has the same sad expression as the toy cat.

Like existed in the John Wick universe and for some reason ended up working as an assassin in the John Wick universe

Started to properly dive into embroidery recently and I knew exactly who I wanted to use as a project piece....but make my boy kawaii 🤣🥰

Something I was thinking about while watching a weird dream episode of the sopranos, is that it really is the foundation for modern prestige tv in ways that are traceable to better call saul, but I can't recall a time when anyone had a dream or even talked about having a dream. No waking up from nightmares or subconscious thoughts creeping through. Saul Goodman seems like a man whose sleeping brain would torture itself.

When Saul is leaning over the hole in the desert and says “Did Lalo send you? It was Ignacio” or whatever, he knows they’re both dead. The reason he still thinks it was Lalo is because he thought Lalo was dead the first time before he then resurrected to show up at their apartment and shoot Howard in the head

This comes up quite a bit in the fandom and honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think she really does just escape any truly meaningful punishment. I know some fans will point to the conversation she had with Cheryl, where it's implied that she goes after everything she has. Kim is even told she is "lawyer shopping." But, realistically, that doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, I don't think.

Firstly, a settlement - even a massive one - would never repair things. Secondly, Kim says herself that even with her affidavit, it is very unlikely she would be prosecuted and found guilty of any crimes after the fact.

Thirdly, even if Kim is taken to civil court and the confession/affidavit is used to rule in Cheryl's favor... even if she is awarded millions of dollars for defamation of character and pain and suffering... even in the worst possible case where Kim loses her home in a lien, has her bank accounts drained of all their money, and is primed to pay 25% of her salary (usually the cap on how much can be garnished) to Cheryl for the rest of her life... that still would not be completely life-ruining. It would mean she'd need to restart from scratch and her everyday life would be a fair bit harder with the wage garnishing, but it's not like she'd be doomed to live the rest of her days in abject poverty. Again, this is assuming these events unfold this way at all.

Am I missing anything? What would actually happen to Kim in this scenario? I think after a certain amount of damage is done, she would just live a normal everyday life, just with wage garnishment affecting her income, no?

It's a pretty safe bet that the initial plan was to have Ed the Disappearer show up in some capacity during Season 6 (since he also showed up in Season 5), so what do you think that might've looked like?

For example, does Gene actually call Ed from inside the dumpster, and what might've the phone call looked? Or does Gene not end up in the dumpster at all, and the interaction is completely different. How about after Gene gets arrested, what might've Ed's reaction to his arrest been, would he disappear himself? (he's got the tools, and it's not inconceivable that Ed Galbraith isn't even his original identity either)

Solomon was on some different shit.

I was thinking, could the skaters have scammed Tuco and took money from him if they had not disrespected his Abuelita by calling her BIZNATCH!!

Would Tuco have still reacted the same if they showed a bit of respect, or would he have given them money to avoid any headaches?

Also, I actually mapped this entire conversation to a live chess evaluation bar to see who was really holding the power at every single second. I have shared the 10 minute video link :- https://youtu.be/5V__BoXkMa4

If you could bring back 1 character that died on these series who could change the flow of the story, who do you think of?

Mines Nacho, coz he is already considered one of the greatest characters** **in the *Breaking Bad* universe, and if he had survived, his trajectory likely would have made him even more legendary. 🔥

I've just finished my first watch of BCS, after delaying for many years, despite absolutely wanting to watch it via loving BB.

The biggest thing I was excited for was to witness the big/slow/sudden evolution of Jimmy into Saul, all the ups and downs, the slow decline, the fast decline, the edge, the topping point.....whatever it may have been.

But for me.....what I was not prepared for was how it felt like never really came.

Right up to the point where *spoiler* is killed by *spoiler* infront of him and Kim, he still seemed like 75% Jimmy.

All he had done before that was sell some phones and then we just see him with some dodgy looking people sitting in his waiting room.

Then he just IS Saul......we jump forward past it all.

And I'm not talking about what happened in BB.....we meet him in BB as a fully fledged and successful Saul, no trace of the moral Jimmy left.

So why didn't arguably the most interesting part of his descent ever really get shown?

We saw 6 seasons of him creeping towards something we knew the absolute end result of, whilst adding so much nuance and depth to the character we knew from BB.....but never actually saw his full metamorphosis into.

Or is the point of what he did in the end for Kim that he never truly became Saul, he never really changed, he just adapted but kept his morality the whole time.

He's absolutely an asshole but if he was "your guy" would he do right by you and make you money (along with himself of course)?

Is it howard or lalo?

The other guys jimmy hired to smash the piñatas alongside Huell was the man mountain who ran away from Mike when he beat up the knock off lalo
