There are other arcs that could be great. Jesse in alaska I even imagined a crazy story arc about a sped up timeline of Walts daughter taking over her dads Meth legacy after being bullied and denied a decent life because of her fathers mistakes. Maybe she seeks out Jesse and learns how to cook the blue.
Sucks that we didn't get to see Kuby this season (we're probably not gonna see him in the last two episodes) after Bill Burr was supposed to appear in Season 5 but couldn't due to scheduling issues.
I'm telling you, every character, no matter how small, are so well fleshed out. Mike Ermantraut's backstory.....man, you can see why he was what he was. Two of the best shows ever made.
@@bhuvaneshd4436 the entire series of both shows is the writers showing off. That’s why they’re so good. You’re not some intuitive mind who figured something profound out.
Lalo Salamance is the greatest character to come from a throwaway line in television history. He completely altered the trajectory of Better Call Saul and pushed the tempo until his end. Tony Dalton was amazing. The greatest mystery of the Better Call Saul universe to me is how Michael McKean, Mark Margolis, Tony Dalton, Jonathan Banks, and Michael Mando were all denied supporting actor Emmys and Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seahorn miss out on lead actor and actress Emmys. That's just crazy.
Because this show didn’t pander to the popular cults of psychos that run the industry (and everything else). If they would have, then you bet your ass they would’ve swept at every awards show.
This is why I love Better Call Saul because almost every single thing that can be seen in the show has a deep meaning and also provides us backstories from Breaking Bad
@@cucabeludo3596 The cardboard picture of Saul (like the ones at a movie theater). An opening scene where movers are packing up Saul's mansion and they throw it in the dumpster.
Vince is wonderful, but he would be the first to tell you that it's not just him, all the other writers had a huge impact on the shows. Vince even fought against including a Lalo and Ignacio character but Peter Gould insisted they create them for the Saul show.
Hector's wheelchair backstory was so tightly and incredibly written with Nacho and Gus' involvement with their high motives and stakes and the way it all went down so cleverly devised it deserves the number one,
@@reneyone2609 yep! He was only brought in because the actor wasn’t available. So he was brought in kind of as a one-off to be the “I know a guy” that Saul tells Walt about, and just be the “cleaner” for that episode. But he just did so well that they kept making more scripts for him. But originally Saul was supposed to be the one to show up and try and fix things. Or maybe mention a “guy” he will call but never actually seeing them. Not sure what the entire original plan was. But they’ve talked about it publicly
Francesca is played by my good friend Tina Parker. Lover her in that role. The whole BB world is the best TV ever IMO. Such great writing, cinematography, music lighting, acting and character building. Simply perfect.
The cardboard cut out of Saul being put in the dumpster foreshadows him being found by the police in a dumpster. Only just clocked it watching this video!
Yea i don't think so... The cardboard cut out being thrown away was just that, where else was it supposed to go?! Of course it was thrown in the trash. Him being found in a dumpster by the police, has no connection with his cardboard cut out being thrown out in the trash. Quit looking for stuff that doesn't exist!
@@Compulsive-Elk7103 Every decision in a show is made for a reason. Especially a Vince Gilligan show. They could have thrown away ANYTHING to represent Saul, but they CHOSE a cardboard cutout. OP is likely on to something.
They absolutely use trash thematically for Jimmy/Saul/Gene. The cardboard, the police finding him, the Sandpiper documents, getting locked out of the mall in the trash room, kicking the crap out of that trash can at HHM, where Marco dies...I am sure there are others, but it's no accident they wrote the character this way.
Fun fact: the first time Saul is introduced in the BB universe is when badger gets busted selling to an undercover. He tells the undercover that their police vans are super noticeable and should use garbage trucks. Whole scene Saul’s face is on a trashy little bench. Trash and Saul definitely go hand in hand
When Francesca first came onto the scene in BCS, I thought maybe I was just remembering her personality wrong from BB. She seemed so sweet before Saul corrupted her.
The best television series I've ever seen...and I'm a tv/film fanatic. This has everything and more you could want in a show. All started with the phenomenal writers and how well they care about the characters they've created. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lalo is definitely the scariest of the Salamancas. Tuco, you'd be daft to not be in fear of your life just for being close to him, he radiates psychopathy. But Lalo, he's the most charming man in the room, you wouldn't know how scared you should be until he decided to stop playing.
@@onegalaxyplay Same thing, none of them have much charm on their own, they come off as seedy...but Lalo is the most charismatic person in the room. He can make you love him just before he snaps your neck.
The show also explains where everyone has those cheap throwaway mobiles from in Breaking Bad. I think its only mentioned how everyone should use them, but not that Saul was the one selling them.
Krazy-8 was Walters second kill. The first one was the partner of Krazy-8, Emilio, who died in the RV after the phosphine gas exposure Walter had made.
16:35 Walter is not talking about the underground lab, but how Gus could´ve know what chemistry instruments were needed for meth production. Gus doesn´t have the chemistry expertise, and that is what suprises Walter. Gus then mentions that he had help, that being Gale.
If you watch the show as a standalone or as a prequel, not one of these storyline explanations feels forced. It all flows smoothly. BRILLIANT storytelling. What a franchise.
@@mrnice162 i mean, there is going to be so much more explained though. we may see more of the gus story line, more of jimmy/saul end of life, more of kim? did she die, dwhat did she say to jimmy, etc. etc.
Francesca going from happy and bubbly to cold and detached is sad to see. It's probably the most subtle negative change arc in both shows but one that still has an emotional impact.
Sad to see they didn't think to mention how in Breaking Bad, every lab scene mentions Lalos & Howards names in the credits. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there.
The bell sounds different before walt planted the bomb. It is clear. But after he planted the bomb it sounds the bell is being cut down by some object. Bravo Vince!!!
10:53 Adding to point 11, we see Jimmy deciding to pursue elder law in season 1, since his charisma works quite well with elders, and he genuinely wants to help them. After getting disbarred in season 3, he tries to convince Irene to settle the Sandpiper deal, so he can get his cut of the money, but he does so by pulling a scheme that results in her peers starting to hate her. When he realizes that was wrong, he pulls another scheme with the help of Erin to make himself look bad, resulting in the Sandpiper residents trusting Irene again, but distrusting Jimmy. After this, elder law was completely off the table for him, leading him to dive into the realm of criminal law again, this time as Saul Goodman
Pretty sure Saul was referring to the dirty pills Ignacio planted on Hector. “IT WASN’T ME, IT WAS IGNACIO!!” The thought of the cartel finding out who crippled Don Hector and carrying out their revenge plans would have been fucking TERRIFYING. BRILLIANT writing
I feel like there should be a question "How did Saul find out Walter was a high school teacher", showing that Mike found him, and also that originally, it was Francesca who found him in BB but the scene was deleted. I guess we knew it was his PI but it was nice to see how Saul went against Mike's advice.
Hector being kept alive was already answered in Breaking Bad just not as in depth. But it was really clear that it was so that he watches his cartel dynasty crumble at the hands of Gus.
I think it’s less that Lalo wasn’t unpredictable and more that he didn’t have the element of surprise. Lalo was truly the greatest threat to Gus’s plan and it took all of his resources to beat him and get the upper hand. Lalo was smart, hard to predict, and knew a lot more about Gus and his plans than any other Salamanca. But Gus knowing this about Lalo was extremely paranoid about him and was on the top of his game. All this to say that Lalo was not easy to predict and was extremely adaptable. If Hector hadn’t accidentally tipped Gus off that Lalo was alive he wouldn’t had even known to still be on the look out for him. Walt comparatively was not as smart (a chemistry genius but not necessarily a great strategist yet), barely knew anything about the cartel, the Salamancas or Gus’s plans for them. Gus lost because his obsession with getting revenge on the Salamancas was used against him. And cuz Walt had no prior history that would make Gus think of him as that kind of threat. Therefore the element of surprise.
Still want to know Who Gus was before he moved to Mexico. Don Eladio said to him, after Hector killed Max, “The only reason you are alive is because I know who you are. Just remember you are not in Chile anymore” or something like that. Thought it would have been worthy of a flashback in BCS
Agreed. I have always throught he rose to some high level of inteelgence or military in the Pinochet regime, and maybe the CIA, who supported Pinochet, helped him get put and make his background mostly disappear.
Vince Gilligan’s talent - and that of the whole writing staff - is incredible. To have created one of these series would be impressive. To create them both and have them so perfectly linked and complimentary of each is unbelievable. It will never be done again to this standard.
The first episode of S6 starts with a cardboard Saul being put in the trash and the last episode ends with him being caught in the same place. Never caught that before.
I forgot that Mike was not alive at the end of the show and I was confused why he didn't show up at a scene towards the end I rly liked Mike's character
feds couldnt get lalo. lalo killed by gus. gus killed by heisenberg. now i can clearly understand the face of that guy made when walt said "say my name".
Every time I see Madrigal in BCS/BB now, I immediately think of the song The Family Madrigal from Encanto and envision Mirabel Madrigal swapping places with Lydia at Madrigal Electromotive
we still need to know why hecto stops looking at Gus and this may be controversial but this show makes me look at everything that went down in breaking bad very differently. I hate that Gus never got his revenge on hector and now we know that Saul was the catalyst for Walt to explode in the drug trade
Gus destroyed his whole family & crew though, & put it on full display for Hector. & Hector had to just endure it, being fully aware but not being able to do anything about it. Also, I believe Hector stopped looking at Gus again because of the upper hand Gus gained on Lalo. The last time Hector looked at Gus (aside from Face-Off finale), he looked Gus straight in the eyes & shook his hand to “convince” Gus that Lalo was indeed burned dead at the beginning of season 6. Hector making that gesture, was an indicator to Gus that he was bluffing about Lalo’s death. So, I believe Hector refuses to make the mistake of giving Gus that upper hand again
Best theory I've heard is Gus is part of the communist resistance against Pinochet and Schuler is an East German agent of some sorts that helped him. It's all so vague tho, that's just my best guess/what I've seen a few other people allude to.
Venture bros was soo good at doing this. They'd set up something and make you think it was insignificant only to pay it off in a satisfying way later on in the series
I can’t wait for this video to be a complete waste of time when the last scene of the final episode, Jimmy wakes up. “What a nightmare.” Then he rolls over and snuggles with Kim.
These events were meant to appreciate scenes in BB but we turned out to love BCS equally as BB or even more than BB Man,What a fantastic world created by such a good writers in TV history!
What about the bodies in the super lab? On Breaking Bad after Heisenberg blows up the super lab the cops investigate and talk about finding two unidentifiable bodies in the wreckage. On Better Call Saul we learn the bodies of Howard Hamlin and Lalo Salamanca were buried in the lab meaning the found bodies could likely be theirs.
Those bodies are two of Gus’s guys. Walt kills them near the elevator, where Gomes says the bodies were found. Walt kills them to get to Jesse so they can destroy the lab. The explosion doesn’t appear to go deep enough to reveal Howard and Lalo, otherwise there would be a total of 4 unidentified bodies found.
@@Emma-nuell useless? Dude single handedly took down Fring. Fring used to act so smart but he was no match for Lalo. Lalo made one mistake recording for eladio for too long.
I just caught the significance of the Saul Goodman cardboard cutout being placed in the garage dumpster it mirrors where Jimmy ends up being caught by the cops in the series finale
Gus' conscience doesn't fizzle at all regarding Gale. Getting him into that lab was always his plan and he wasn't gonna have Gale piss it up by getting caught at a university lab.
I wonder how long after Gus started cooking in the lab did he earn back the Madrigal embezzled money. I still don’t quite understand why Herr Schuller was going to be arrested; didn’t he and Gus gradually pay back the money (millions) from the money (multimillions) earned from being a major producer/distributor of drugs? BCS has been amazing! Who knew these people could pull such an amazing world and people from nothing. The way they smoothly dovetail bits and pieces into the BB world is artistry.
He was funding the operation so he would've been an accomplice in all of frings crimes if they could've proven it and that dude was scared shitless from the start so as soon as the cops came he panicked pretty much imo
Remember the drug bust of 700000$ on ep 1 of BB in which Hank was on tv which inspires Walt towards the meth. They showed that Lalo's man gave info about Gustavo's money drop on Better call saul when Oocho is caught by DEA.
He put ricin (that had no flavor) in the Stevia packet at her table. You dont need very much to kill someone. She is a contol freak and set in her ways. He knew she would put it in her tea. No question mark
PERFECT timing for this video!!👍🏾❤️🔥💥💯👏🏾 tied up all lose ends & ready for the last two episodes, totally understanding all the connections, while waiting for the showdown👍🏾🙌🏾❤️🔥💥Thx guys👍🏾🔥💥
lalo died with a big smile, i personally have learnt so much from lalo - confidence, smile, curious, fearless and persistence One of the best character made for TV! Thank you tony dalton for making it possible
The fact that we got such great characters as Nacho and Lalo from a throwaway line in Breaking Bad is insane. It's like digging in your couch for loose change and finding a thousand dollars.
I'm pretty sure Gus' plans for Gale always was for him to work at the "underground super lab". The "you were meant for far greater things" is in response to Gale offering to cook "decent quality meth" at the university, I'd think that Gus considers cooking the "greatest quality of meth" and being a key part of his "master plan" to qualify as "far greater things"
Saul talking to Walter in the school saying his "guy" found Walter was Heisenberg, charged him for a full 3 hours so he doubt it took him 1. His guy, was Mike.
You don't need BCS for that. When Walt kills Fring's dealers for killing Jesse's girlfriend's brother, Jesse went into hiding and Saul gives Mike a phony location after Mike threatens him. Then when Saul takes Walt to Jesse at the Laser Tag place, Saul tells Walt that his own PI was gonna break his legs for not giving up Jesse.
@@blebhan8213 Actually, it was easy enough to figure out even before that. As soon as Mike showed up at Jane's house telling Jesse that Saul Goodman sent him, I figured then that this was Saul's go-to guy for all things hands on.
You are damn right. They were a great couple together and it was clear Kim really cared about Jimmy. I was so happy to see them together again in the last scenes of BCS, I teared up when she was visiting him in jail and they smoked their shared cigarette, just like in the good old days. As much of a 'happy ending' as was possible concerning the circumstances!
Breaking Bad already answered why Gus kept Hector alive; To ensure Hector lived long enough to lose everything he cared about, and so he could keep tormenting him. The dude had the biggest grudge on Earth.
Breaking Bad was one of the best shows ever and Better Call Saul was written really good too! On my 3rd watch of BB right now and it's such a refreshed perspective after watching Better Call Saul too.

I love that _Spider-Man_ (2002) reference when you introduced Saul’s job as a “criminal” lawyer question.
The most amazing thing to me is that they took the line "Lalo didn't send you?" and made the most amazing character out of that!
You guys didn't mention those two dead bodies found in the lab burned down
??????m
Let's talk about Gus's kinda gay trip to the wine bar at the end of BCS
Knowing Lalo and Howard are buried under the lab is wild.
I watched that episode today for the first time
Damn!!! I mean damnnn!
Kinda ironic 😅
And then you add 2 more corpses on top. Sinister
Gus did say he would "bury" every one of them. That was chilling...🥶
I wonder if they ever found their bodies after Walt and Jesse blew up the lab.
I’m gonna miss this universe more than I care to admit.
Im sure we will see something from this universe in the future.
Blessed to get a full series plus a movie and a prequel. I'll always rewatch
same
Next series: Fueling Huell
There are other arcs that could be great.
Jesse in alaska
I even imagined a crazy story arc about a sped up timeline of Walts daughter taking over her dads Meth legacy after being bullied and denied a decent life because of her fathers mistakes. Maybe she seeks out Jesse and learns how to cook the blue.
I liked that they gave us the information that Skylar did get the deal also that Huell was still alive.
Huell don't rule nothin'!
Sucks that we didn't get to see Kuby this season (we're probably not gonna see him in the last two episodes) after Bill Burr was supposed to appear in Season 5 but couldn't due to scheduling issues.

I'm telling you, every character, no matter how small, are so well fleshed out. Mike Ermantraut's backstory.....man, you can see why he was what he was. Two of the best shows ever made.
It was that episode with Mike's backstory where you just knew they were going to smash BCS out the park.
I’d love to see a Gus fring movie or show. His rise in the military could be nuts
I just ran into him at Starbucks in Malibu
Even Hector's bell got its own backstory
You told it like gus telling hector don eladio etc. all dead. (Or at least i read it likr this)
I just love how even such a small thing like hector’s bell has such a bad ass backstory
That's when I was confirmed that writers were just showing off

This is why I love Better Call Saul because almost every single thing that can be seen in the show has a deep meaning and also provides us backstories from Breaking Bad
Of course.. People still defending B rolls
Was rather heartbreaking when Nacho shot himself but he did so with honour intact and Mike swearing to protect his father.
It was a badass scene, he literally spit in Salamancas face and took away their ability to torture him or get revenge their way.

Don't worry, they'll re-use this same template and even the same answers 1 day later the show is over.

When he realizes that was wrong, he pulls another scheme with the help of Erin to make himself look bad, resulting in the Sandpiper residents trusting Irene again, but distrusting Jimmy. After this, elder law was completely off the table for him, leading him to dive into the realm of criminal law again, this time as Saul Goodman
Pretty sure Saul was referring to the dirty pills Ignacio planted on Hector.
“IT WASN’T ME, IT WAS IGNACIO!!”
The thought of the cartel finding out who crippled Don Hector and carrying out their revenge plans would have been fucking TERRIFYING.
BRILLIANT writing

I feel like there should be a question "How did Saul find out Walter was a high school teacher", showing that Mike found him, and also that originally, it was Francesca who found him in BB but the scene was deleted. I guess we knew it was his PI but it was nice to see how Saul went against Mike's advice.
Hector being kept alive was already answered in Breaking Bad just not as in depth. But it was really clear that it was so that he watches his cartel dynasty crumble at the hands of Gus.
In the Breaking bad universe there are lots of good acting examples, but Lalo Salamanca was amazing!
Lalo sadly didn't have that unpredictability Walter have. As gus managed to anticipate his moves and scored a kill despite lalo gaining an upper hand.
I think it’s less that Lalo wasn’t unpredictable and more that he didn’t have the element of surprise. Lalo was truly the greatest threat to Gus’s plan and it took all of his resources to beat him and get the upper hand. Lalo was smart, hard to predict, and knew a lot more about Gus and his plans than any other Salamanca. But Gus knowing this about Lalo was extremely paranoid about him and was on the top of his game. All this to say that Lalo was not easy to predict and was extremely adaptable. If Hector hadn’t accidentally tipped Gus off that Lalo was alive he wouldn’t had even known to still be on the look out for him. Walt comparatively was not as smart (a chemistry genius but not necessarily a great strategist yet), barely knew anything about the cartel, the Salamancas or Gus’s plans for them. Gus lost because his obsession with getting revenge on the Salamancas was used against him. And cuz Walt had no prior history that would make Gus think of him as that kind of threat. Therefore the element of surprise.
Lalo does have a serious Salamanca flaw and its hubris. He could've killed Gus but wanted to make that video so bad.
@@diptonsauce1985 he had to make the video, otherwise don eladio wouldn't have had any solid proof about the meth lab
Still want to know Who Gus was before he moved to Mexico. Don Eladio said to him, after Hector killed Max, “The only reason you are alive is because I know who you are. Just remember you are not in Chile anymore” or something like that. Thought it would have been worthy of a flashback in BCS
Agreed. I have always throught he rose to some high level of inteelgence or military in the Pinochet regime, and maybe the CIA, who supported Pinochet, helped him get put and make his background mostly disappear.
Think is a Chilean city or region name he mentions at that time though...
Vince Gilligan’s talent - and that of the whole writing staff - is incredible. To have created one of these series would be impressive. To create them both and have them so perfectly linked and complimentary of each is unbelievable. It will never be done again to this standard.
i wish i can erase my memory of watching Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul ... so i can start again with full excitement
The first episode of S6 starts with a cardboard Saul being put in the trash and the last episode ends with him being caught in the same place. Never caught that before.
I didn't get that either
First time Saul is shown in breaking bad is during a conversation about garbage trucks lol
I never connected Krazy-8 from Better call Saul as being the same guy in the beginning of Breaking Bad..
#8: Actually, Mike quit being a cop because of the events that happened during the Christmas season in Kingston Falls, 1984.
There’s a shit ton of inaccurate statements made in this video.
That’s actually the first time he took a bribe. That’s when became a dirty cop.

Attention to details is uncanny , well done Vince Gilligan you have my atmost respect sir ..
I forgot that Mike was not alive at the end of the show and I was confused why he didn't show up at a scene towards the end
I rly liked Mike's character
feds couldnt get lalo.
lalo killed by gus.
gus killed by heisenberg.
now i can clearly understand the face of that guy made when walt said "say my name".
I think that guy's name was Declan.
Can we get a top 20 characters from Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul next!?!
Every time I see Madrigal in BCS/BB now, I immediately think of the song The Family Madrigal from Encanto and envision Mirabel Madrigal swapping places with Lydia at Madrigal Electromotive
we still need to know why hecto stops looking at Gus and this may be controversial but this show makes me look at everything that went down in breaking bad very differently. I hate that Gus never got his revenge on hector and now we know that Saul was the catalyst for Walt to explode in the drug trade
Gus destroyed his whole family & crew though, & put it on full display for Hector. & Hector had to just endure it, being fully aware but not being able to do anything about it. Also, I believe Hector stopped looking at Gus again because of the upper hand Gus gained on Lalo. The last time Hector looked at Gus (aside from Face-Off finale), he looked Gus straight in the eyes & shook his hand to “convince” Gus that Lalo was indeed burned dead at the beginning of season 6. Hector making that gesture, was an indicator to Gus that he was bluffing about Lalo’s death. So, I believe Hector refuses to make the mistake of giving Gus that upper hand again
Two of the best written shows with great direction, acting & cinematography
that scene where don hector had a stroke was perfect. great transition by mark margolis.
I was hoping to learn more about the Gus Fring and Schuller backstory concerning Chile.
Best theory I've heard is Gus is part of the communist resistance against Pinochet and Schuler is an East German agent of some sorts that helped him. It's all so vague tho, that's just my best guess/what I've seen a few other people allude to.
Better call Saul makes Walter White seem like a side character who ruined everything
Everything would've been fine if he had just known his place
@@jamesfalakassa6663Skylar made him fire gale and hire Jessie. So it's Skylars fault. Maybe even hanks fault for beating the shit out of jessie 😂
Mike told him 🤷♀️
Them throwing out the cutout into the trash can foreshadows like crazy
Seeing Walter & Jessie on Monday's Saul episode was awesome
Ikr?👏🏾🙌🏾🔥💥
I love series like breaking bad and venture bros because they can flesh out and call back to even the most minor things a character said in passing
Venture bros was soo good at doing this. They'd set up something and make you think it was insignificant only to pay it off in a satisfying way later on in the series
I can’t wait for this video to be a complete waste of time when the last scene of the final episode, Jimmy wakes up. “What a nightmare.” Then he rolls over and snuggles with Kim.
One of my favorites is how subtle it is when you find out how Crazy 8 got his nickname. Lalo was so damn smooth 😭
15:51 Jonathan Banks played Mike so stoically throughout both shows that this scene absolutely wrecked me. What a phenomenal piece of acting this was.
These events were meant to appreciate scenes in BB but we turned out to love BCS equally as BB or even more than BB
Man,What a fantastic world created by such a good writers in TV history!
What about the bodies in the super lab? On Breaking Bad after Heisenberg blows up the super lab the cops investigate and talk about finding two unidentifiable bodies in the wreckage. On Better Call Saul we learn the bodies of Howard Hamlin and Lalo Salamanca were buried in the lab meaning the found bodies could likely be theirs.
What ep in breaking bad is this?
I believe 5-1, Live Free Or Die.
Those bodies are two of Gus’s guys. Walt kills them near the elevator, where Gomes says the bodies were found. Walt kills them to get to Jesse so they can destroy the lab. The explosion doesn’t appear to go deep enough to reveal Howard and Lalo, otherwise there would be a total of 4 unidentified bodies found.
Lalo is the best villain in the ENTIRE Breaking Bad universe
not at all, he was useless lol
@@Emma-nuell useless? Dude single handedly took down Fring. Fring used to act so smart but he was no match for Lalo.

@@Emma-nuell good for me bad for you
A true breaking bad fan knows all the answers to these questions
I just caught the significance of the Saul Goodman cardboard cutout being placed in the garage dumpster it mirrors where Jimmy ends up being caught by the cops in the series finale
Gus' conscience doesn't fizzle at all regarding Gale. Getting him into that lab was always his plan and he wasn't gonna have Gale piss it up by getting caught at a university lab.
I wonder how long after Gus started cooking in the lab did he earn back the Madrigal embezzled money. I still don’t quite understand why Herr Schuller was going to be arrested; didn’t he and Gus gradually pay back the money (millions) from the money (multimillions) earned from being a major producer/distributor of drugs?
BCS has been amazing! Who knew these people could pull such an amazing world and people from nothing. The way they smoothly dovetail bits and pieces into the BB world is artistry.
He was funding the operation so he would've been an accomplice in all of frings crimes if they could've proven it and that dude was scared shitless from the start so as soon as the cops came he panicked pretty much imo
Remember the drug bust of 700000$ on ep 1 of BB in which Hank was on tv which inspires Walt towards the meth. They showed that Lalo's man gave info about Gustavo's money drop on Better call saul when Oocho is caught by DEA.
Just visited ABQ, NM last week. Adds so much hidden context to the shows.
Its all good man = Saul Goodman.
Better call saul just explains that jimmy was the main character all along
How Walt was precisely able to poison lydia is a big question mark.
He put ricin (that had no flavor) in the Stevia packet at her table. You dont need very much to kill someone. She is a contol freak and set in her ways. He knew she would put it in her tea. No question mark
The only question I had:is Huell alive???and im happy they answered it
PERFECT timing for this video!!👍🏾❤️🔥💥💯👏🏾 tied up all lose ends & ready for the last two episodes, totally understanding all the connections, while waiting for the showdown👍🏾🙌🏾❤️🔥💥Thx guys👍🏾🔥💥
Both of these shows were 11/10 fantastic.
Poor Francesca she became more and more depressed with the years coming by

Nasty enterprise sucked the heart out of her.
@@kittiwhieldon4329 Nah she choose to work and continue working for em
@@daytimelantern6570 She was well paid. Maybe she had children to support. Did she seem happy working for Saul to you.?
17:24 damn Gilligan was thinking so far ahead
1. Huell leaving that room and being a free man
16:30 after finishing better call Saul it’s honestly more disturbing knowing that Lalo and Howard are buried beneath the Superlab 💀💀☠️
We found out how Gus met Gail in breaking bad when Gus was questioned by the dea
lalo died with a big smile, i personally have learnt so much from lalo - confidence, smile, curious, fearless and persistence
One of the best character made for TV!
Thank you tony dalton for making it possible
The fact that we got such great characters as Nacho and Lalo from a throwaway line in Breaking Bad is insane. It's like digging in your couch for loose change and finding a thousand dollars.
The worst decision Jessie, Gus and Saul made was partnering up with Mr. White. Through the flashforward we see how much Saul missed practicing law.
After watching the BCS finale, I'm still left wondering how Declan ended up in Albuquerque in the first place
I'm pretty sure Gus' plans for Gale always was for him to work at the "underground super lab". The "you were meant for far greater things" is in response to Gale offering to cook "decent quality meth" at the university, I'd think that Gus considers cooking the "greatest quality of meth" and being a key part of his "master plan" to qualify as "far greater things"
Saul talking to Walter in the school saying his "guy" found Walter was Heisenberg, charged him for a full 3 hours so he doubt it took him 1. His guy, was Mike.
You don't need BCS for that. When Walt kills Fring's dealers for killing Jesse's girlfriend's brother, Jesse went into hiding and Saul gives Mike a phony location after Mike threatens him. Then when Saul takes Walt to Jesse at the Laser Tag place, Saul tells Walt that his own PI was gonna break his legs for not giving up Jesse.
@@blebhan8213 Actually, it was easy enough to figure out even before that. As soon as Mike showed up at Jane's house telling Jesse that Saul Goodman sent him, I figured then that this was Saul's go-to guy for all things hands on.
@@HerSandiness True. It's good to have a Mike and a Saul if you're a criminal.
Mike was always Saul's guy
During the entire show I was wondering and waiting thinking to myself how do Saul and Kim end… one of the saddest breakups I have ever watched
You are damn right. They were a great couple together and it was clear Kim really cared about Jimmy. I was so happy to see them together again in the last scenes of BCS, I teared up when she was visiting him in jail and they smoked their shared cigarette, just like in the good old days. As much of a 'happy ending' as was possible concerning the circumstances!
Lalo and Howard being burried under the lab kind of explains what the fly was after in breaking bad lol.
I didn't think of it like that :o
18:33 correction the scene in breaking bad where saul says about Lalo it is aproximately the same time they’re having all the issues with Lalo
Breaking Bad already answered why Gus kept Hector alive; To ensure Hector lived long enough to lose everything he cared about, and so he could keep tormenting him. The dude had the biggest grudge on Earth.
Breaking Bad was one of the best shows ever and Better Call Saul was written really good too! On my 3rd watch of BB right now and it's such a refreshed perspective after watching Better Call Saul too.
