Official Better Call Saul Season 5 Thread

[Francis White]

This dude Mike is a genius.

I know it’ll never happen, but it would be dope if they did a prequel mini-series on Mike in his younger days. Even if they gotta cast a younger actor.

Genius? He just used simple deduction.

Few things:

1. The Saul and Hamlin meeting was basically Elliot offering Walt a job.

2. Gus wasn't looking for an alibi. He was worried things were spiraling out of his control, which is why he was obsessing over an extremely minor detail he could control. Like Walt in "Fly".

3. The "man fukking a horse" line was in reference to Mesa Verde's logo. They briefly show it on a billboard directly after Saul talks to Acker. It's a man on a horse.

Mesa Verde Bank and Trust
Saul literally gave dude a pic of a man fukking a horse.

4. Can't help but think Mike is trying to die but don't want to commit suicide. I'm assuming this is the point in his character arc where Gus gives his life purpose.

Good analysis

damn, i just realized i didn't watch last night. this whole virus thing and arguing with my mom got me going crazy. i'll have to catch up tonight

 

[BuddahMAC]

Yeah, I was curious as well as to what Kim saw in the picture from Mr. X.

It looked like there was a picture of someone on a horse on the desk that matched Mesa Verde's logo.

My guess is that sparked the idea for Kim to get some lawsuit going for likeness rights from whoever's in that photo or maybe general rights issues if the picture's from a movie/TV show. They use that logo on everydamnthing.

Why do kim want to stick it to mesa verde so bad? All for this 1 dude that won't move out?

She's having an identity crisis. She thought she could work for a big law firm and do pro bono work on the side to offset that. In the end her pro bono work got interrupted by them asking her to throw an old man out of his crib.

So she has a choice of either "doing the right thing" by helping the little guy or being the type of lawyer she hates.

Enlisting Saul is the 3rd option. Her inability to pick a side is going to be her downfall.

Why the fukk would Gus have Mike taken all the way down to Mexico if he was dying?

They probably weren't close to the border either, the doctor told Mike that El Paso was a day away by bus.

Because Mike, with his current mind state, would've ended up dead or in jail for killing someone if he stayed in New Mexico. Gus completely removed him from the equation so he could get his mind right.

I'm amazed the writers (some of which are white women) had enough self awareness to do that. But yeah....this is exactly what that was.

I'm sure part of the feigned indignation was to throw Schweikart off, but he didn't seem to buy it, at all.

Remember Mesa Verde isn't even legitimstely her client. The only reason they're with her is because of Saul's antics a couple season sago. That probably also makes her feel shytty

 

[hex]

Anyway, that was a great ep and I'm assuming initially Kim was hoping to be taken off the case when it was revealed Saul was helping Acker. Kevin shooting that down is gonna eventually be the doom of their relationship, and most likely Kim's professional life. I'm thinking they try to play both sides until this situation lands in a court room, which is why the next ep is called "Wexler V. Goodman".



Just guessing here but I'm thinking Saul plays hardball with Kim and goes too far in the courtroom.

Kim is truly an idiot . She can’t separate work from life. She works so hard to become a successful lawyer and ruins it to be like Saul. He is a cancer that taste good. No matter how bad he is , you just keep eating till it’s too late. This episode proved what a piece of shyt Jimmy truly is. He enables Kim to destroy her career while appearing to care.
Walt say through him from the very start but kept using him while he learned the drug game.

Saul isn’t destroying her career, she’s doing that on her own. He warned her at the dangers of taking it to the next level. Actually Saul was the only person with any reason this past episode.

WHO SAID SAUL WAS DESTROYING HER CAREER?

Seeing how they're emphasising howard being desperate for fresh blood to help run his firm, I wonder if the Kim ends up there when the inevitable fall happens with Mesa Verde.

Kim's been looking this season but she was MILFy this episode.

Looks like copyright infringement too me as well
