The Official "Better Call Saul" Season 4 Thread.

[Francis White]

No, he’s just finally free

Free of what??

 

[Francis White]

U assume too much, does Saul even know Jesse back then?

He said the Walt & Jesse era meaning it’s a time jump coming .

 

[Woodrow]

I’m no timeline specialist but I think only 2 years has passed over the past 4 seasons.

If there is going to be major B.B. characters coming in it would have to be Jesse and hank.

There’s no more story left to tell tho. Not the way they’re telling it. You could do 10 years of Slippin Jimmy fukkery, but the actual story they’re telling has pretty much wrapped. The only outstanding details are:

- Kim & Jimmy
- The meth lab
- Nacho’s ties to Jimmy
- The Salamanca infiltrator
- Saul’s “office”
- The rest of Gus’ setup for his empire
- The first meeting with Jesse
- Jimmy getting caught (flash forward scenes)

I could be missing some things, but what other major plot points, based on these four seasons, is there to say about Saul Goodman before breaking bad happens?

Would also make sense if they ended it after 5 seasons, same as BB.

The man is implying there is going to be another time jump. The show could be moving 4 years ahead soon.

There was no first meeting with Jesse. He met Walt first.

Free of what??

Finally free of being held back, he tried to play both sides, now he’s all in.

 

[Woodrow]

This proves that Saul was always a scumbag.

Yeah. I like how they didn’t go for the happy ending with his speech at the end. He did it for himself. Not his brother, or Kim, or any other reason that would have redeemed him. Whatever good Kim, or the viewer, sees in Jimmy, who he is should not be up for debate.

Into the bb timeline? It will be interesting how they do this

I expect a lot more of the Omaha situation in the next season

 

[gluvnast]

Do we know for a fact he was previously married?

Why do you say BB is several years later? rhey are almost done with the lab

He said so in Breaking Bad he been divorced a few times.



The series for Better Call Saul is from 2002-2004

Breaking Bad is from 2008- 2009


So there's at least a five year gap.

 

[Woodrow]

There was no first meeting with Jesse. He met Walt first.

Even more reason to wrap things up. The only other clear link to BB would be Hank then, or something we haven’t seen before.

Loved the finale.

Mike killing Werner reminded me of Nucky (probably cuz Boardwalk Empire talk popped back up on here recently) but it felt like Mike's "can't be half a gangster" moment. Werner wasn't part of the game, but he had to be killed.

Werner's foolishness basically represents Mike's feelings about his criminal activities up till now. Mike, too, has been telling himself that he can do a little bit of work for a drug kingpin, then go back to his family, then check in with the kingpin again, as if it's all no big deal.

Also, Werner was part of the game cause I don't think that Werner is exactly an innocent. He knew that the people he was working for were criminals. He should have known that criminals who are that secretive are not likely to be forgiving. Mike was killing someone who was in the business whether or not Werner really realized it. A serial killing killing another serial killer isn't quite the same as killing an innocent. Werner was building the infrastructure for a meth lab which will lead to the deaths of many people. He was aiding and abetting a serial killer.

Werner wasn't exactly a criminal but he wasn't exactly a innocent either.

He never met or heard of Jesse prior to Breaking Bad.

Mike doing that solidifies the difference between him and Walt. It’s always business for Mike. Never personal. No matter how much he might fukk with you.

In fact, establishing a personal relationship with Jesse, and going against his normal MO, is what did mike in.

The genuine tears on Kim's face when she thought that Jimmy was finally being emotional about Chuck and processing his death, to the gobsmacked reaction she had when Jimmy revealed he improvised his way into conning the review board . Really good year for Rhea Seehorn, her snapping on Howard earlier this year is still one of the most intense things I've seen this year .

Jimmy was fantastic in that final scene, not only in his performance to the board but also the glee he had in fooling them . Saul Goodman has fully arrived .

Mike on his Macyver shyt with the gum in the parking ticket machine . No show does process like Better Call Saul. The wide shot of him taking out Werner was . Easily one of the best they've done this season.

Free of what??

Get out of his brother's shadow. Everything around him was Chuck this, Chuck that, etc. He gets tired of it that they had to remind him about his brother, Chuck all the fukking time. In this episode, they were all on Chuck's dikk, not Jimmy's. Even Kim was on Chuck's dikk.
