Better Call Saul

What kind of person puts 50+ hrs into a show they think has been entirely bad? Lol

BB was so good and the role of Saul Goodman was so enjoyable to watch,
I had high hopes for the prequel. I wanted to give it a chance to improve.
Unfortunately it never did.

Then why are you here? Just to troll? We all love the show, thats why this thread exists. If you don't, thats fine, just leave

Saul Goodman was an enjoyable character to watch, however, this show isn't really about Saul. Its about Jimmy and Gene. We know the Saul story. Jimmy evolved into Saul, the show is depicting how that happened.

The show has been divided almost equally between Jimmy/Saul and Mike and Kim. There could almost be three leads in the series IMO.

So you didn’t like the characters introduced (Kim, Nacho,Lalo) and their storylines ? You didn’t like the two episodes this year where Nacho and Lalo were eliminated ? Both which rivaled any of the best episodes in BB IMO. You didn’t like the expanded roles of Hector and Mike. Mikes storyline was very good from watching him being an upright moral retired cop and transcend to the bad side for money. Sounds like you had some predisposition to not like this show and are trolling. It is the best series on TV the last 5 years. We can’t force you not to post here but no one will miss you if you don’t.

While I loved BB and think it was pure genius and created a fascinating universe to fall in love with. BCS is a superior show. Maybe its because of what we know going in but I still like it more.

Better episode tonight than last week. Opened up a few new angles.

- Saul’s value in promoting Walter and Jesse’s early meth business.
- The gem/diamond pipeline.
- Kim survived the Breaking Bad timeline.
- Saul possibly going to far with his current crime schemes with the cancer victim. I think his decision this night to go back to the house is going to be his downfall.
-I thought briefly Saul was going to head to Florida in a taxi to see Kim when he was talking to the taxi driver about his schedule.

I didn’t remember all the characters Saul was asking about on the pay phone. Anyone have additional info?

Kuby (Bill Burr) and Huell were his henchman. Hank and Steve had parked Huell at that motel and tricked some information out of him. Obviously shaky grounds so the government had to let him off scott free. Cleared up that Skyler had received a deal for her cooperation.

Mystery for me is what info Saul received about Kim that made him trash the phone booth.

Edit: two other names mentioned…Ira and Danny.
Ira was the professional thief recommended by the veterinary doctor who ended up heading Vamanos Pest. Danny was the IT guy who hired Mike and who Jimmy later got off an arrest with the Crush Films Defense. He was also the titular owner of Saul’s money laundering front business laser tag shop.

I need to rewatch but I was under the impression he actually called Kim and she most likely said dont ever contact me again and that pissed him off and led Gene to "break bad." I don't see this ending well for Gene.
 
Gene had several chances to do the right thing with the cancer guy, and he passed it by. I figure whatever happened with Kim on the phone (whether he talked to her or not) was the straw that finally took him over. I am with K-town-- don't see this ending well for him. He didn't take much precaution when he broke in. I am not good at guessing with this show, but I doubt we will see Kim again. (or if we do, it will be an unhappy ending)

Solid theory. I just don’t see that violent a reaction from basically a repeated rejection.

…and it’s been a considerable time now I’m guessing since she broke up with him soon after Lalo’s and Howard’s deaths( 2+ or even up to 4 years) and the fact that Saul has been very active with the paid escorts and dancers. Seems like he would have been able to handle another rejection better.
