Tonight was slow in parts, but seeing the industrial plant and Lydia was pretty cool and we finally (kind of) get Saul Goodman. I just hope there isn't a 20 minute montage next week of Mike building a playground.
Better Call Saul..
- Thread starter KYBorn&Raised
- Start date
How did Lydia get introduced in the breaking bad universe? I know she supplied some kind of chemical walt had trouble getting. Was that when Mike and walt got into business together? Mike knows her through Gus?
Any predictions on how Jimmy loses his woman? Could she have been his unmentioned girlfriend on BB?
Gus's Los Pollos chain was owned by a larger German entity. one of the many ways he kept his name in the clear and off the radar. Lydia worked for that
German outfit. they were a multi million dollar outfit that was also part of the drug trade. their resources pooled together it was made it an empire. Lydia helped to funnel methylamine from one of the other businesses to Gus in the U.S. as a key ingredient in making his meth and he shipped product overseas as well. Lydia didn't become a player in BB until Walt took Gus out. she needed to keep the business on her end going, Mike needed to keep his people paid and happy as well.
I don't remember him mentioning a girlfriend on BB but there's no chance she would be with him with all that he becomes involved with IMO. They are going to have some epic falling-out at some point, probably at the end of BCS.
I stand corrected. I thought I saw an interview with him where he talked about being from Sweden. After looking it up, he was born in Denmark.

I had somehow missed that they were taking a week off. I was all amped to watch it last night . . . no dice.
I have to rather disagree with you over BB. OK, I'm a bit bias, I spent 8 of the best years of my life in the ABQ. That's just how it worked out. One goes where opportunity arises. Believe me when I tell you though,. it was realistic. NM was the last of the 48 states to join, and is still as close as you'll find to the wild, wild west.

Arizona was the last of the 48 continentals to join, but NM joined a whopping month earlier.
Wow. I thought BB was the best made for tv show I've seen in my 58 years.
The Wire, Breaking Bad, and Soprano's for me.
GOT may get there, but it's not over yet.

I don't think anybody has surpassed what James Gandolfini did. Not close, imo.
Now Breaking Bad was a better written and created piece of cinema, but fn Tony Soprano is unrivaled.
No big argument from me. Sopranos is number 4 on my list. I binged watched Sopranos after I watched the others. Probably why I list it 4.
Binge watching sopranos right now.
Loved the others except the wire, just can't stay attached to it

I bet he does something dirty tries to cover it up and she loses her law license trying to help him.
Mike not even in the series finale is weird.
Jimmy and Kim seem closer now than they have ever been.

That 15 min scene (seemed like it anyway) when Chuck was tearing apart his house, I wanted to punch myself in the face. I have been over him and his storyline for sometime. This show just seems to continually just drag on. Maybe I'm just comparing it to breaking bad which is unfair. I've read that season 4 has not been renewed yet. Ratings have been down. Hopefully they can renew it and finally get something good going.
Is there any way jimmy is still in charge of chucks estate? In season one or two when he was in the hospital I think jimmy was put in charge. Could jimmy get the rest of the HHM money that is owed to Chuck?
This show will get as long as Gilligan wants. No way they cancel it. It will get 5-6 seasons IMO, similar to BB. The ratings are down but it is still really good ratings wise for cable.
I hope Chuck is dead. I'm sick of him. This will be the moment that I hope finally makes Jimmy Saul for good. The McGill name dies with Chuck so to speak. I think Kim and Jimmy being so closer (closer than ever) is gonna set them up for a fall in season 4. I think we need a time jump at some point closer to Breaking Bad. They promised us we would get some of the BB storyline from Saul's perspective, but honestly that could be done in a few episodes if they really wanted. I doubt they do a post-BB storyline either, or not much of one. They could go bigtime with that but won't.
Does anyone remember from BB any mention of the year it starts? They are in 2003 on Saul now. I know that because Jimmy asks Kim how Recoverython 2003 is going.
Didn't know the ratings were down, surprises me if so. I thought this was by far the best season of the series.
Gonna miss Chuck. Thought he was the most captivating character on the show. That last line he said to Jimmy was so cold-blooded.
theoretically, the black and white scenes with cinnabon Jimmy, Saul, whatev that are taking place in real time are going on when Walt is still on his excursion of hiding out in Maine or wherever that was. So when we see Saul working at the cinnabon, Walt hasn't returned to rescue Jessie and "supposedly die". So we could in theory, at some point, see a story line where Saul comes out of hiding once he knows, thinks Walt is done. Jessie was left on the run, you know the feds will be looking for him. just saying, there could be some post breaking bad, post Better Call Saul story lines to introduce.
The show started on TV in 2008 but I was asking what year it was set in to begin, not when it came on TV.
