Official Better Call Saul Season 5 Thread

[jackswstd]

Huell trying to rob someone for their diamond ring at the courthouse so Jimmy had a ring

Lydia showing back up and seeing how stone cold she is sheds light to how ruthless she truly was. She may not have wanted to see a bunch of dead bodies laid out but she's vicious nonetheless.

Mike telling his son's wife the stories about his son and seeing him interact with the granddaughter are welcome light moments in a show full of darkness.

How many Pollos Hermanos joints are there and which one did they burn down?

7 million bail cash paying that much is gonna cause way more problems than it solves.

Jimmy shytting on Howard was a very telling scene as Jimmy thinks he's unfukkwittable now.

That "amigo del cartel" reminded me of the BB scene where Saul is kidnapped by Walter ans Jesse.



Vince said that Lalo and Nacho from BCS were created from that scene. So it's not random.

So if Saul fears Lalo sent the goons that means he's still alive and well so nothing will happend to him.

But then again, we have that scene where Gus is tormenting Tio in the hospital, saying all his family is dead and the Salamanca name will die with him.



I'm really curious where are they going with the Lalo story because after all his buildup they can't just have Mike and Co. murk him. He has to start some major siht.

Jimmy: “7 million!”

Lalo: “I can do that You have to pick it up tho. I’ll call you”

Lalo could always die in Mexico without Jimmy knowing

Yeah, I can’t imagine Lalo not being a factor during BB if he is still in fact alive

The fact that V.G. is on another level with the direction and he does it so cheesy-free (idk if that's a term) makes it so interesting for me. What fate he has for Lalo and Nachito and how he ties it in the BB Universe.

Anyone else notice that Jimmy flipping out and regaining his composure sort of mirrored how Chuck did the same thing in the Chicanery episode?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Howard isn't going anywhere, he's basically.the ghost of chuck on this show

Obvious imagery Saul's face being split in two, one half looking at the family that his client widowed and the other towards Howard and HHM and hia brothers shadow

Excellent observation

Another one:

The German Madrigal exec sampling the spicy fries and dipping them in the sauce just like did before he killed himself with the defibrillator.

Okay smart ass. They could have made it more clear in the recap. They only showed him raise the gun to him. Could have easily just threatened him for information and not killed him.

They actually showed him dead in the original ep. Briefly, but it was there.

As of season 5 of "BB" there was 14 Los Pollos Hermanos locations. But this is still 2004, so who knows how many there is.

Next ep is directed by Vince Gilligan, so expect it to be crazy. It's the only ep he's directing this year.

Ep was dope as fukk and Jimmy died in that court room. He is basically 100% Saul now. If he's not a criminal yet, he's criminal adjacent more than ever. In "BB" he suggested Walt and Jesse have Badger killed in jail. He's not quite to that level yet.

Kim gotta be a top 5 if not top 3 wifey material candidate in a work of fiction. She got married to avoid snitching. It don't get more gangsta than that.

Minor complaint but I wish Lalo getting bail was a couple eps later. Makes all the work Mike did last ep completely pointless. Gus and Mike should've known a guy on Lalo's level would be able to pull strings from behind bars.

As far as Lalo, he has to be dead by the time "BB" happens. Gus doesn't strike me as the type to not know what he's talking about. I see a lot of theories....it's possible he gets Nino Brown'ed outside of the court room by the dead guy's family. Nobody would see that coming.

Jesus, how high in the chain is the drug ring known?

Chapo was telling people all the companies involved in the trade along with the heads of states...that should let you know how far the ring can go up

Yea, that episode was so long ago I forgot. Had to just watch the season recap and they didn't show the dead body in it.

And Saul been married twice already?!?!?!

 

[hex]

They actually mentioned his previous marriages on "BB".

When Walt was wilding out about Skyler cheating Saul said something like "you think that's bad, my 2nd wife cheated on me with my step dad."
