The ad is cringe.

@@bliteeoi but the ad is cringe
@@RandomUser2401 and how exactly is that?
@@bliteeoi look at it
Better Call Saul proved that the things we want aren't always satisfying when we get them. we all wanted to see Jimmy become Saul and it was so sad when it finally happened.
Happy. No. Satisfying yes
@@chasecash1363 Absolutely agree! That is the exact word the writers always said on the Insider Pod ''What can `we do that is the most satisfying outcome'' But I'm thinking you knew that haha!
Brilliantly summed up! The ending is so bittersweet that I honestly didn’t know what I was feeling when it sank in. What I do know is that it was a perfect tv show.
Not only that but we can also see that it's not always good to be shiny and fancy
@@Hurrishane03 O M G!! I felt exactly the same!!! At the end of the day, both shows is the representation of the consequences of your actions! We saw Walt’s and Jimmy’s results of their action throughout the years. It is absolutely extremely uncomfortable how both of their lives end, however it is the most perfect ending we could get and the best result of their characters. Knowing that, it is so satisfying!
I love how a lot of the questions are “omg how did he get all these things” And nobody ever considered he just bought stuff
Facts 😂😂😂
we didnt see him go grocery shopping the entire series, this is a huge plot hole failing to explain how does he have food to eat smh
We saw him eat a lot of food. Where'd it all go!!?!?! Where did the food he ate go!?!
@@lt3880*Season 1 ceases to exist*
@@harrasikainto the golden throne, I'm thinking.
Biggest mystery is: had Jimmy thought anymore about that job offer?

no, biggest mystery is what Werner Ziieegleer is doing. What is he up to, man?

Bill Burr spoke on The Dan Patrick show saying that when BCS contacted him he would have done just about anything to be in the final season but his closest friend in the world was in the final stages of cancer and Bill said he just. Could not commit to the time frame they needed him available in ABQ,to me,that speaks volumes about Burr as a human
That sucks, I was wondering why he never showed up in the series.
I believe he was supposed to be the “Mr. X” that Jimmy and Kim hire to get inside pictures of Kevin Wachtell’s home. Burr couldn’t film at that time due to a family emergency and so they went with Steven Ogg instead.
Some I can think of: What ever happened to his college film crew? Did they ever get in trouble or questioned? What happened to Mike’s daughter-in-law & granddaughter? Was Saul being genuine in his original prison preference for his prosecution? Or was he pulling off one last scam to trick them? Does Jesse ever hear about Saul getting caught? What is his reaction, if he did?
Jesse’s reaction would be interesting, as he never really had anything to meaningful with Saul/ Jimmy in breaking bad
@@bl5533 I don't think he would care that much since he helped Walter poison Brock. I don't think Jessie would ever get over that rightfully so because that was one of Saul's lowest moments even though he didn't necessarily know what he was doing.
i think while the fans like to portray saul walt and jesse as a group in reality most of the show was just walt stringing along people to help himself so it’s likely didn’t see him as much more than another part of his shitty past
@@cptexe true. It's clear Jimmy didn't even like Walt or Jesse. He and Mike shared a bond and it's sad yet hilarious at how truly upset Jimmy got when Mike had to threaten him in BrBa S3 lol.
Nothing, no, probably and who cares
I think the best thing about better call Saul is how it put into even more perspective how impressive it was that Gus took out the cartel and installed himself as the only true game in town. And make it even more wild to think it all got taken down by Walter
The biggest part of BCS is showing how much Walt was in over his head and single handedly destroyed a criminal org 10x bigger than he couldve ever imagined.
I think the dialogue of Kim getting sworn in was never meant to be a flashback - in the dialogue she’s saying that she’ll be an upstanding citizen, while in the episode it’s teasing she almost shoots someone on the orders of a Mexican cartel boss. It’s just highlighting how much she’s changed, nothing more
I disagree. I think S6E8 would have opened with the flashback, and the briefly cut back to the apartment before the opening song. Assuming Howard was her sponsor, it could have served both the purpose you mentioned as well as showing how much their relationship changed.
Except she only did it bc she was threatened…. Bc of what her husband got himself into
The pinky ring and the white caddy were both nods to Marco. Marco was Jimmy's best friend and shortly before his death, Marco is shocked to learn Jimmy became a lawyer and says "Slipping Jimmy, king of the desert, riding around in a white caddy!", But he wasn't to that point yet.
It wasn't a "nod", it was literally his ring?
Saul was doing okay for himself even without the sandpiper money. He had lines around the building
yes and no, its mostly small fee clients who likely don't have much money. he had unofficial very high paying clients too. sandpiper gave him millions of dollars. as a comparison hhm would have had numerous corporate clients in the city, each paying large retainers per month, high income clients etc.
@@varsityathlete9927 exactly, Sandpiper money was clean too and allowed him the extravagances. He couldn’t do that with the money from his cartel money.
Yeah, the Sandpiper money pushed him over the top letting him legit acquire the car, and the house. That way he’d pay the taxes and all above board. Cartel money bought the rest.
Exactly. The line of idiots outside the office was basically just a way to launder cartel money for himself.@@varsityathlete9927
@@Texas_Swifthe knows how to clean it especially with a lump sum from sandpiper
About the Francesca's attorney question. I think it would be Ernesto. (I'm mean, Jimmy probably did knew a lot of people in the courthouse - he wasn't just friends with Oakley, of course) But going with a notable candidate and not just a hypothetical one, Ernesto would have the chance to be that one lawyer Francesca calls. We don't know what happened to him after we last saw him, so it's a possibility that he could have passed the bar and become an attorney; giving the fact that we don't have an exact idea of what he wanted to do of his life.
I really like this theory! It gives closure to my 2 biggest unanswered question. Thank you.
Was it ever even clear if Ernesto was in law school? He worked in the mail room.
@@EnjoySackLunch Well, like Jimmy, he could've just decided to follow that career and doing law school
"Y-You passed the bar?" "Yeah, I did, Mr. Mcgill!" "What a SICK JOKE!" "Better Call Ernie!" **Chuck hits his head on the counter. Bravo Vince.**
Could also be Ernesto, at that
Naming his loan out company Ice Station Zebra in order to cash the check from all that time ago would be the most petty, but mostly funny, cash grab of the series
The only problem is that after 6 months a check is "stale dated" and considered void.
@@jhellert1 Saul has his ways hahah. He could still make it happen
@@cineaste485 *smudges the year on the date and insists it's recent* Yeah I could see him pulling it off
Better Call Saul content is an instant click. Can’t get enough of this show. Hate that it’s over but I’m happy that it happened
Marco tells Jimmy “you’re a lawyer!? You gotta be driving around the desert in a white caddy ripping people off” Jimmy got the white caddy because Marco , his best friend who died, envisioned it for him
To add to the idea of Ernie & Omar joining up to open their own law firm, I want to believe that Christy Esposito, the young girl who didn’t get a scholarship at the end of season 4 eventually became a lawyer and was hired by those two lol
she was seen pregnant at the firm kim volunteered for and it seemed like some domestic violence to probably highlight how the bad influence of her mother ruined her life
@@thisd294Different character.
?@@thisd294
@@thisd294 that was a whole different person
My question is what was the original plan for Jeff? He was so menacing at first, but the replacement was a goofy Saul fanboy/mama's boy. It feels like that affected how the Gene episodes were put together.
Jeff is my biggest problem in BCS which when one side character is my biggest problem there’s not many problems.
@@chasecash1363 I still don't believe that the script was unchanged after replacing Harvey, and if they did that menacing part with Jeff just so they subvert our expectations, that's one of the lamest ways you could do that.
@@teopazdrijan1008 I think he was only menacing because of Gene’s building paranoia tbh
@@rustyyy1k nah he was scary without genes paranoia
Y’all still crying about that?
Maybe Kim being sworn in is just what she thought after Howard got killed, like, that's not why I became a lawyer, and maybe it's even the moment when she decides to quit that life and go to self-punishing-mode. I think if you see it this way it's a great addition and kind of foreshadowing.
I personally believe that Suzanne Ericson was Francesca's attorney. Although they weren't really on good terms, she did reach out to Kim about Lalo in order to give Jimmy an out from suspicion for representing him willfully, so it might've made Jimmy think in good faith that he should appoint Francesca to Suzanne. Also, she was the one to inform Kim about Jimmy giving false info to the court about Kim's involvement with Howard's death in the series finale, so there might be a connection there.
I could see Suzanne wanting to represent Francesca in order to further the hiesenberg case, (especially after seeing her in el camino and the American greed special,) but I feel like she’d be working against the main character’s interests. In bcs s6 she was just playing up being “good cop” to Kim in a good cop bad cop scenario against ADA Khalil as a fishing trip just to try to get Jimmy to talk. She was only pretending to be the “good guy” imo. She never liked Jimmy, and only shows an interest in him to get information out of him.
Suzanne Ericson is a prosecuting attorney who’s office is involved in the Heisenberg case. Francesca needs a defense attorney.
"Tell *him* Jimmy sent ya"
Ericson was a prosecutor working for the DA, so she wouldn't be doing criminal defense.
@@SuzakuX Lmfao so was Bill Oakley buddy . . . Do you even realize how common thats been in the history of attorneys too?
You've kept me sane some way or another the last 12 months. Your BCS Content gave me the a strong feeling of sensation, much like talking to a good friend about things you both thoroughly enjoy. Here's to the Universe, this Show is one for eternity . One Love!
You are way too invested in this you must be a sad little creature 😂
I felt the same way LOL. It's quite a ride since I started watched BrBa way back in season 1 winter of 2008. I was like 26. I am 40 now. So much has changed but the BrBa universe has been there for 14 years of my life. 😲
As for Lyle, he was the co-manager for a restaurant, and he was pretty young. He could have simply gone to school or got an opportunity elsewhere.
Not everything should be seen on screen because not everything can be added. We’re not watching a autobiography of Jimmy McGill, we’re watching the rise and fall of Saul Goodman. But ultimately i like how the show manages to tie everything together so nicely.
I'm so glad you're still making videos exploring various aspects of this show. I download every one of them and watch/listen to them frequently.
If the "Rise of Gus" is ever made, I hope it takes place mostly between the years 2005-2007, just so that we could know what happens between that missing gap between Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, and how long it actually took to finish construction of the underground meth lab when Lalo was finally taken care of
If they were to do a prequel series about Gus I'm sure it'd be more focused on his time in Chile and his early years getting involved in Cartel activity with Max. Maybe cutting back and forth via flashbacks. Though I don't know that I really want that show, as it'd almost certainly require recasting Giancarlo. Personally I kinda wish they'd do some books set in the _Breaking Bad_ universe, and I think that'd be a great way to tell Gus's story.
@@SuzakuX books is definitely the way to go. they should let the live action side rest, they've already made two of the most iconic and well made series television has ever seen, plus a Netflix movie.
boring.
@@SuzakuX If they had cast someone for a younger Gus, I'd probably go with the guy who plays a young Stan Edgar in a season 3 flashback of The Boys.
It wouldn't be called "The Rise of Gus" then would it? By then he's already a multi millionaire with loads of chains of restaurants for the cartels meth business. The "Rise of Gus" Would be more likely in his early years trying to get the Cartels trust and mixed between his time in Chile which is extremely vague due to Gus making everything about him disappear. He even asked Mike to see if he could fine anything about himself back then.
I think they have different scripts for each Jeff because it seems unbelievable that Don Harvey’s version would end up the same way as we got in the final cut. He seems too menacing to be a goofball.
Could have just been an act
Apparently the script was already written before the recasting and they didn’t change it at all for the new actor, so Don Harvey would’ve played the exact same part.
@@TheVividKiWi Okay, another loose end. What’s the point of Kim’s backstory from Nebraska if it’s not gonna payoff with Gene in anyway shape or form? Gene being in Nebraska wasn’t even because he wanted to find Kim (he already knew she’s in Florida). Ed selected it for him. Is the whole Kim Nebraska backstory happened just to subvert our expectations?
@@nont18411 Two people can be from the same place.
@@TheVividKiWi you should remember the BB/BCS writers tend to alter their scripts to fit what the actors are capable of. its not guaranteed don harvey wouldve played that same part.
I’m just… using Caldera’s book to explain _pretty much_ everything. I’m saying that’s how Jimmy met another attorney, and also where he got Kuby from.
I always saw Christie Esposito as a possibility for Francesca’s lawyer…
One unanswered question I have: How in the world did Fring and company get an excavator and heavy equipment under the laundry mat? Isn’t there only one way in there with the metal stairs under the laundry machine?
Man who knows, they're engineers maybe they dismantled them and reassembled them down there? Good question
There’s an elevator
@@pamelapastor5380it hadn’t been installed at the time
I always appreciate the videos you make on this show. They’re always interesting, I hope you’re doing well. Please take care and keep up the great work!
I hope Ernesto has a happy life, he truly deserves all the best
I still click super fast on your better call Saul videos even though the show is over. I really would wish for more but all good things must come to an end once. Thank you for these amazing vids
Think of how “The Simpsons” would be remembered if they ended the series after seven(ish) seasons. That was unequivocally some of the best television ever made. Now the show has a different legacy, holds all manner of records, but is a pathetic shell of its original self. Yes, all good things must come to an end. What’s important is that they’re great while they’re here.
Thanks Kiwi for keeping these BCS things coming
I was always hoping ernie could be the lawyer Jimmy sent Francesa to. It would answer two questions if Ernie got a law degree during breaking bad
He’s black they didn’t think he mattered
@@badgirlhollywood9741 …Bro what. I *heavily* doubt that’s the reason. Just because he was black doesn’t mean that was the reason he was pushed aside. A lot of characters with potential just happen to be forgotten about and pushed aside to make room for the main story. This isn’t exclusive to BCS either.
@@willymillynilly4501 hahahahhahah it’s true
@@badgirlhollywood9741 What’s true?
@@willymillynilly4501 Black characters always get the short side of shit
I really REALLY expected Lalo to kill Lyle in some sort of way to where his body would be found publicly to mess with Gus even further and tie him to scheduled things such as a funeral and all that to where Lalo could make necessary moves
that would've probably exposed Gus as a cartel asset and probably would've ended up uncovering the whole operation. it would've been overkill from Lalo
Incredible video. We actually do see when the vet gives up his black book. It’s when he’s telling Jimmy & Kim that’s he’s going to “focus on his passion” of being a vet
My man Kiwi out here flexing with sponsorships now. Much deserved!
How about that switch he flipped in his office at Davis and Main? I was hoping it would lead to a dripping condenser on the roof or something, and the finale would be the roof caving in on Erin Brill's office
21:36 It's obviously Saul's mysterious business partner Anonymous Lee, whom Walter and Saul fight about in Breaking Bad. Vince played it really cool only briefly mentioning this character a single time. Bravo!
I still have questions about Nacho’s death. Why did Gus put him in the motel and give the address to Bolsa and risk Nacho being caught alive? If it’s because he wanted him dead, why couldn’t Gus have just told the mercenaries to kill him along with Lalo? That way he could’ve avoided suspicion from the cartel.
He changed his mind, decided to cut him loose
That is true, Nacho was a loose end. It would have been better for Gus to have the mercenaries' kill Nacho. He would have to face Mike, so that might have been what stopped him.
If Nacho was also killed by the hit squad the cartel would have likely deduced it was Gus, Nacho surviving the hit on Lalo gives Gus the scapegoat he needs to maintain plausible deniability, even if Bolsa and Eladio have their suspicions
@@TAG152gaming this is good reasoning, me like
I think it's because of how Gus orchestrates, how it happened was exactly how Gus wanted it to happen. Someone with a voice and a pass making one last bullet-proof defense on his behalf, before (very very sadly) "cleaning up his own mess" and dying anyways. Our beloved Nacho was squeezed till the last drop.
Me: ok it’s 11PM, time to go sleep Kiwi: Hey guys, Kiwi here 😄 Me: _sigh_ _click_ Love you Kiwi!!
Extremely accurate
No matter the holes, this story has been captivating from day one. Awesome break down!
For the shot in the finale teaser, they mentioned it on the insider podcast or something. Pretty sure Schnauz said it was gonna be a shot in the desert and Gene would be flying over it on his way back to Albuquerque.
Where did Jimmy get those diamonds? He had that tin as a child, retrieved it as an adult, buried it in the wall/ceiling until running from the law after BB, hid it in his crawlspace as an emergency as Gene.... all to drop them in the dumpster without a single comment on where they came from. Did he acquire those diamonds as a child/teenager and keep them with his coin collection? Or did he get the diamonds after and hid them in his coin tin?
I think the attorney Jimmy set Francesca up with could have been Ernesto or Omar, since you mentioned the possibility of them still practicing law. It also could have been Erin, given that she didn’t seem to outright hate Jimmy to the degree Cliff did by their last meeting, but given her relationship to Davis and Main I think Ernie or Omar is more likely.
Out of all of these, I think the only one that could not be implicitly answered is Francesca's attorney. Jimmy ends the main timeline of BCS despised by most of the courthouse regulars and known as Saul, and in the phone call he doesn't know that Oakley is a defense attorney now and Francesca tells him. We never see anyone who would know Jimmy as Jimmy keep any sort of relationship that he could leverage for Francesca.
There’s still the girl from Davis & Main, Omar, and the firm that rebranded from HHM.
Maybe the attorney was that young female associate for Davis & Main, Erin Brill. She was a very capable attorney as a 2nd year associate & probably would have risen to partner or started her own firm by the time of that BB scene
Thanks for this video. Not seeing Saul get his Cadillac was one of the biggest teases that never got paid off. Some of these unanswered questions could have been answered in a montage. But oh well. Still an awesome show. PS - I really wanted to see Tuco take over the family business.
I mean "he bought a caddy" isn't exactly something important to show to viewers. One of the biggest problems prequels have is trying to assign a meaning to every fucking thing you know about a character. I'm glad that they largely glossed over the _trappings_ of the Saul persona and instead focused on the person underneath it all.
watching right now during my lunch ! thanks kiwi!
I like the idea of combining two unanswered questions from this video, I like to think that Ernesto and Omar did become lawyers and did open up their own law firm, and they are the lawyers Saul told Francesca to call
It would track since he never met Jimmy as Saul
I almost want to think that the super lab basement construction was finished single handed by Mike. I know that's impossible, but he is sort of superhuman. Plus, we have seen him pour cement, at the church where he goes with his daughter-in-law for her survivors' meetings. He's pretty handy with tools also.
When Jimmy told Marco he's now a lawyer, Marco told him "you must be driving throuht the desert in a white Cadillac, making bank". That's where the white cadillac idea came from for Saul.
Thank you for this video! I am a huge fan of all your videos! ❤
Thanks for the support!
Love the video brother!
Ayyyy more KiWi content, always love it! :)
I imagine Saul just found where to buy the statue blow up and bought one for himself. I really can’t imagine him going back to the Kettlemans just for that.
im to sick to really express it and type out a paragraph but dang bro i love ur content i feel like my understanding of the BB universe is so high because of ur videos, theyre also so entertaining. plz keep making vids i dont think ive missed one in like half a year
oh happy day 🌞😍 Thank you for the video!
I love you and your vids... I wished you more active on twitter like in the good days when we all waited for new episodes
I know a lot of people thought that originally Saul said "Tell him Jimmy sent you", but I think it's actually "tell THEM Jimmy sent you" And so this implies he just kind of pointed her in the direction of a firm. I always thought it was strange that Rich specifically names the law firm that HHM is turning into, saying it was called Brookner Partners. Why would they specifically mention the name of what HHM was turning into if it wasn't for it to be used for something later on? I think that that's supposed to be the "Them" Saul said in the Francesca scene, as he knew a lot of people at HHM, a few of them would actually know who he was. But thats just my theory.
You didn't get it. Let me tell you something. You were never gonna get it. They dangle these things in front of you, they tell you you've got a chance -- but it's a lie. 'Cause they already made up their minds. They knew what they were going to do before you walked in the door. You made a mistake and they’re not forgetting it, not ever. Far as they’re concerned, your mistake is who you are. It's all you are. I’m not just talking about this scholarship -- I’m talking about everything.
@@WhiteyWalter why did you copy paste the kristy esposito speech LOL
@@WhiteyWalter i mean i obviously know that it was also to distance themselves from howards name, but it just felt really specific to me... and its the only firm that would actually know or care about jimmy at that point.
@@nerdude360 i always thought that part was just to show how soul-crushing and absent HHM became. Like the brookners partners are something you have never heard of, never will hear of, with such lazy ass name that it just show reality.
@@nerdude360 A very plausible theory. Jimmy would presumably still have many friends there, having worked for HHM for such a long time.
A small but perfectly valid unanswered question I have is what happened to Jimmy’s watch? Throughout the entirety of Better Call Saul, he wears that gold Mercury watch. Cut to Breaking Bad: it’s gone.
He got a new fucking watch, whadda you breakin my balls for heh?
I like to think that Francesca’s attorney was Omar since we never see what happened to him and he always liked Jimmy. Edit: Wait? Omar? I meant Earnie! Omar I’m sure still works for Davis and Main.
I knew what you meant, despite the error.
I like to think Omar and Oakley met and fell in love
@@dead_yami He switched sides lol
I wonder how Saul must have felt when he found out Mike died
We saw he didn't care much
The best part of the sandpiper money is chuck didn’t care about it. He was coming after jimmy’s law license and didn’t care that jimmy would be a millionaire down the road
BB and BCS are both a Master Piece in and of themselves.
Thank you for still making videos about breaking bad universe!
As a Bill Burr fan, and a bigger BB/BCS fan....I would watch a mini series on Kubi!
They probably kept gus's past a mystery in case they wanted to make a show about him in the future
TBH
While it's over, the Gus story would be great to revisit one more time. Young Stan from The Boys would be perfect for Younger Gus.
6:10 i stopped at season 2 because instead of showing all those very interesting things as you say, they decided to show entire episodes worth of absolutely nothing My friends also stop watching at season 4 I have no idea how so many talented people ended up making such a slow and empty show (it's perfectly filmed and directed, but rhythm and timings are just egregious for me and many)
🤦♂️
Thanks as always dude! ❤️🥝❤️🤷🏼♀️
great analysis
Just binge watched the whole series again. Saw several other unanswered questions. Still an awesome show
Thanks!Kiwi! you tha best!
Thanks for the support!
For me, the biggest mystery about Gus’s past in Chile wasn’t in itself a mystery. I mean, for all that was going on during the Pinochet years, it is very easy to theorize why some high ranking military officer would need to go into exile. Rather, what was it that got the attention and concern of a largely regional cartel way up in Northern Mexico? And I am not even referring to Eladio’s warning to Gus after Max was executed, but rather Lalo making the comment to Bolsa suggesting rather specific knowledge (“todos negocios?”). It is difficult, at least for me, to plausibly imagine where the interests of two such different and distant groups could overlap, specifically why the cartel would care about what is presumed to be a far away political intrigue. I really thought we were going to find out more after Lalo said that, but even later learning Peter Schuler was also involved still did not even hint at the cartel angle on this.
Gus wouldn’t have been in the military. No way Pinochet would’ve decorated a black gay guy. I think he was originally a freedom fighter would was talked into selling drugs by Max.
@@guillermogutierrez-santana4446 Makes a lot of sense what you say. I agree.
With gus frings actor getting more popular as of late and with that probably being the most burning question of the shows fans I wouldn't be surprised if we get another spinoff explaining his whole background and who he really is
Nah it couldn't work because he's too old now to try and do a new series of a younger gus. It would have to be a different actor, but it just wouldn't work without his actor playing him. It was already noticeable in better call Saul but you could look pass it. But if you do a series with a 15-20 year younger gus, I just don't think it could work
Ernie was not wrongfully fired. Chuck was a dick and Ernie was a great friend, but I hate to say it but if I had an employee who twice protected someone who, through fraud, cost my company perhaps a million in sales, he would be gone no matter how nice he was. Violation of the confidentially agreement is MASSIVE grounds for him being fired.
Its understandable, but Chuck wanted Ernie to tell this Jimmy. It was his plan.
I’m confused, why would you speculate Howard being the attorney Saul recommended to Francesca? Howard had been dead for years before that scene of Saul clearing out to go to the vacuum cleaner.
Also, do you remember seeing who was going to create a chronological version of both BCS & BB? I know someone had mentioned it and I gave kudos to them bc I think that would be so darn cool! Anyway, sorry I’ve been seriously out of the loop here, no disrespect intended I’m just very very sick you guys and trying to hang in there the best I can. Kiwi 🥝 knows all about it so just know you’ll see me from time to time. Love seeing the vids though kiwi, honestly sometimes only think keeping me going! Thanks bro.
I wrote an X-Files Crossover episode that helps clean up a lot of continuity issues but Bravo Vince won't answer my many emails/letters/telegrams/photos left on his windshield. Sometime during the time skip between BCS and BRBA (so like 2005ish I think) there is a freak weather event over ABQ and many people in a concentrated area de-age ten years. This explains why Kaylee the time child appears the same ageish in either series and why all the actors otherwise looks younger. Mulder and Scully are sent to investigate. Turns out it was due to the peruvian crime lord Alvarez (played by David Cross for the long awaited bob and dave reference) who came to meddle in cartel and meth afairs after recieving backlash after his double agent Nacho was discovered. Mulder smokes payote with a native american shaman and these divine truths are revealed during his drug trip so he shoots alvarez and all is well.
Makes sense.
Gus, a joker origin story and a two face death
I can only imagine Saul wanting to buy the Statue Of Liberty and Mrs. Kettleman getting furious and saying "$10,000" and Saul going "Okay." (Cause he has so much money)
He learned that from Lalo
About the superlab, I completely disagree. While I don't think we need to see the full construction they still made it a huge deal and it took up a large arc in the show only for Gus to tell Mike "'just get another crew lol" as if that's going to be an easy task after how much effort went into it and how a single man like Lalo managed to track down two of it's members, one in a totally remote region. Even just a small scene to show that construction is starting up again would have done a bit of good. Maybe bring back the guy they brought the first time that Gus didn't like. It was the only remaining 'question' that felt really underwhelming to me.
I actually thought of that dude, but they refused him for a reason. He was talking about his past jobs, so they didn't believe him, thought he would have revealed some information about the project, which even Werner did, but Werner was a better choice still
What’s the point of having 3 episodes of hiring new guys, who successfully finish the site, no drama, no construction issues, and then go back to their country and live happily ever after? The whole point of those 3 episodes is “construction of this size can be done in X weeks”? What’s the point of me knowing that, being that I’m not in construction?
A Note to you Followers I just Bought the Complete Series 6 for 9.99 from Amazon Prime. All 13 Episodes plus more.
Are you going to post the rest of season 6 tier? Looking forward to it!
It’ll be coming sometime during the first half of December!
Maybe Jimmy gave Francesca the card of Ernesto, who is now a proper lawyer 🙂
Sauls Cadillac made an appearance in S1E1. He brought it from someone at the court house (i remembered that from a table read)
real shit? wow
ernesto is my favorite small side character
i knew the difference between the jimmy we saw and than saul. what didnt hit me till the final episode was how different saul from breaking bad was than jimmy. even with the flashbacks it felt weird felt like someone else until a little bit after the finale. from watching breaking bad first and saul being a minor but important character i never really thought about the insane difference between saul and jimmy till rewatching the flashbacks and thinking bout the ending. like thebflashbacks at first were a genuine shock to me because it didnt feel like saul/jimmy i knew until i remembered who he was from breaking bad
What will you do with the channel when there's no more BrBa universe series? Breakdowns of Slippin' Jimmy :P
My biggest confusion with BCS was how Mike was a Gus guy all the way. In BB it seems like he always worked for Saul and knew Gus. In BCS he was Gus’s number one guy, but rewatching BB, it seems like he occasionally finds out information for Gus but really works for Saul. A bit confusing. Overall, BCS did an amazing job and tying everything together.
I think that's one of those things that changes in the 2 year gap between the end of BCS and start of BB, Mike was Gus' guy, but once Gus' operation started running more and more smoothly after Lalo and Hector were out of the picture, Mike started taking a backseat in Gus' operation and started taking more odd jobs for Saul, eventually becoming his main guy to call when he needed a job done.
Walter White also thought that Mike was Sauls guy and was confused to learn he was actually Gus’ guy.
I imagined that Gus had joined Pinochet's military junta in Chile and worked his way to becoming an officer, hence the "Generalissimo" comment by Hector. He probably worked his way towards intelligence and was very good at it. Then he used his influence to make a new identity and invented a reason for him to spy on the Mexican Cartel. He enters Mexico with Max with the intention of using Eladio's cartel to found his own branch of meth production, using Madrigal as distribution and a secret branch of money from Europe. This backfires because Eladio knows Gus is a plant from Chile (but doesn't know his bigger plan) and he kills Max. Eladio still allows Gus to work for him under Bolsa's supervision and gives him more and more of a pass because he's a top earner, but reins him in with Bolsa's death.
Never watched any TV after 1995 so I've only seen various shorts of "Breaking Bad," and "Better Call Saul" on Y9uTube. The Characters are powerful enough to be worth watching and the lack of real time presentation is a fun mystery. Thanks for this analysis it puts a few pieces together.
I was watching a British crime show called Annika. One of the characters quotes Chuck’s “let justice be done.” They substitute “though the world might end” for though the heavens may fall.
Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum is a Latin legal phrase, meaning "Let justice be done though the heavens fall." It was coined in the 19th century, funnily enough by a man also named Charles.
If we're having fun making stuff up around the margins, why not combine two of them: Francesca got reflected to Ernesto and Omar's joint law firm.
nicely done
thanks - very necessary video
I think Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould should do an AMA, and give some answers to these questions.
I won't be too surprised if Vince next show about Kim will also put Ernesto and Omar as main characters
Omar and Ernesto’s law firm is cannon. That’s my statement and I’m sticking to it FTW.
Seriously tho awesome video! Made me smirk to hear about Danny
The pay phone scene made me laugh because of the meta-humor in it, making fun of the process of the audience experiencing the show.
how'd you not know, in Huells Rules Saul buys it for a couple grand, to pay them off. later in Huells Rules he finally gets the Sandpiper settlement and you see he starts a car dealership with Patrick Kuby's brother along with Mike and Huell. its crazy because thats where Walt bought his Aztec from Kuby's brother! R.I.P Kuby's brother I'll never forget when Beto salamanca killed him :(
More unanswered questions - Q1 When did Tuco get out of the jail? Q2 How did Hector end up in Tuco's hideout? Q3 What happened between Gus and the Cartel in Santiago?
It makes sense for Tuco to have relocated Hector from the nursing home, especially considering it's possible Tuco's grandma passed away in the time he was in prison making Hector his last living relation in NM
