Official Better Call Saul Season 5 Thread

[KalKal]

Saul would have talked old man into moving in like 5 mins.

On second thought, Saul has a soft spot for old people, so in this case he might feel more guilty than Kim

The way they are threading everything together so seamlessly is going to easily spark a big uptick in Breaking Bad rewatches and viewership on the heels of this show.

Lowkey, if somebody has never seen Breaking Bad, how different would their viewing experience be of that entire series if they watched BCS first.


I'm trying to think if BCS even spoils any key details about Breaking Bad, I don't think it does. You would just know that Saul was in hiding from when the show first starts.

We don't know the extent of who Gus is for a long time. When we're introduced to him in BB, Saul just says "I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy".

We have no idea he's the type of guy that owns a "super lab"

This is true. We didn't know his backstory when he was introduced in BB, but he still came off as extremely calculated while we were trying to figure him out

I've only watched the 1st Episode, but somebody remind me what Gus was really doing with the inferior dope.

He was cooking up his own shyt and mixing it together with the Salamanca supply and pocketing the profits?

Was he aware that his shyt was inferior and thought it wouldn't be found out because he owns Nacho?

Or he thought his shyt was on the same level, but Lalo is just a G like that?

Jimmy: “and um...one more thing you’re gonna have to find a different attorney for future endeavors cause my schedule is just very very tight”

Lalo: “you’ll make time...............Ahh!”




Lalo really steals every scene without havin to say much

Nah.

He threw in some bad dope hoping Lalo would find it so he could "confess" that Werner was his employee that went rogue and tried to get into the dope game.

Gus, according to this story, copped some bullshyt product to "make up the difference" that Werner stole.

Obviously Lalo has been on his ass and knows who Werner is from last season, so Gus was hoping he'd buy that story. And not further research the construction project. Which is also why him, Lalo, and Juan Bolsa met at the chicken place they were "building".

Got it. He got Nacho to subtly bait Lalo also.


Did I miss a scene? Or it was simply inferred that Gus needed a way to throw Lalo off the scent?

Nah, you didn't miss a scene. But since we know who Werner actually is, and what he was really building...."Werner was a rogue drug dealer and his team was building a chicken storage facility" was obviously all lies. But the only way to sell that lie is to say Werner stole some dope so Gus had to "replace" it.

And yeah, correct about Nacho.

Fred.

In the first scene we see Gus, we don't even know for sure that he isn't JUST the manager of that one Pollos Hermanos.

I didnt even realise this

Doubt it. It's still relatively early in the time line.

I'd say we're still a couple years from the start of "BB". Unless Hank randomly mentions him....which would be ok I guess, but kinda a goofy easter egg with no other context....there's really no reason for Walt to be here yet.

Fred.

Yeah we are years away.

The lab is still a long way from being finished, Kim is very much still in the picture and the streets haven’t been flooded with the subpar meth that led Walt to go beastmode with the Heisenberg product.

Now who knows if the last season speeds shyt up so that the very last episode butts right into the beginning of BB but they have to make things with Kim and Jimmy dissolve somewhat quickly.

And Jimmy/Saul doesn’t even have his BB era office yet.

Gus has to throw off everyone when it comes to that lab so the took the “L” when it came to confessing about the mediocre product.

The lab is nowhere near ready and he has no cook anyway so he’s gotta run interference while being patient at the same time. Lalo has emerged as an unexpected problem so he’s gotta have the concentration of a skilled chess player to knock his ass off the board in like 3 moves instead of 10.

Jimmy realised he was metaphorically food in these streets, looking at the ants all over his ice cream
