Better Call Saul..
- Thread starter KYBorn&Raised
- Start date
Where do you come up with the 9/7/08 date? I assume it has to do with Walt's birthday. Just trying to get a timeline of where BCS is versus when BB starts.
I'm over 40. I don't trust google.
But you trust the Paddock?
Never let me down before.
But the cell phones they use were already out of date by then.
I hated Chuck. Glad he's apparently gone. I never realized this before, but the actor who plays Chuck, Michael McKean, is band member David St. Hubbins in the classic 1984 movie "This Is Spinal Tap".
I don't care what role he plays, he'll always be Lenny from Laverne and Shirley.I hated Chuck. Glad he's apparently gone. I never realized this before, but the actor who plays Chuck, Michael McKean, is band member David St. Hubbins in the classic 1984 movie "This Is Spinal Tap".

Not buying it. Next you're going to try to tell me Bob Odenkirk is a comedian...
In case you missed it, season 5 started last night and has another episode tonight. I won't do any spoilers but the most interesting thing that happened was the very first segment. I'm looking forward to the season.
First episode was fantastic. I haven't watched last night's ep yet.
A few observations without spoilers:
- I wouldn't mind them doing a whole Gene episode this season. I don't want to wait until the next season premiere to find out what happens.
- RIP Robert Forster. Glad we got at least one more scene with him. Great actor.
- Kim is gonna break. I'm surprised she hasn't already, but the first episode clearly foreshadows it happening soon.
- Lalo is a fantastic character addition to the series. He has Gus' intellect with Tuco's unpredictability.

I'm half wondering if there won't be an "El Camino" style movie released after BCS is finished. Kindof a string all of those Gene Scenes together and fill in the gaps to find out what actually happens, that is unless we breeze through Saul's Breaking Bad days and Season 6 goes beyond them.
I'm hoping for the latter, honestly. There's much more tension in the Gene scenes as we don't know how the story turns out.
I would love it if they spent this season and maybe part of next on the pre-BB days and then do something cool like have a Gene episode where the black & white changes to color and then follow Gene's storyline going forward.
Bob Odenkirk was "Porno Gil" in an episode of Curb Your Enthisiasm circa 2000
Michael McKean was the dad in the Disney movie D.A.R.Y.L. (thats what I remember him from as a kid)

Kim is falling off the deep end for sure. I'm ready to get back to Lalo, Gus and the other storylines.
Don't think so. Maybe. But just have always been tempted to believe that Jimmy's (Saul's . . . that is, Gene's) refuge to Omaha isn't supposed to be taken without some meaning. Why? Where is Kim from? Does she ever really say? Other than a dink nothing town on or near the Nebraska border with Kansas? Given how details for the two series rarely, or never, explain themselves by coincidence alone it is tempting to believe Gene is in Omaha to be near Kim, or for some reason to do with Kim.
Still, the viewer can assume that several years go by after Jimmy parts ways with Kim and when he (Gene) begins a new life in Omaha. Or can he? Recently the viewer saw Saul Goodman get made at the mall. He knows his life is threatened. But it appears that where he's at is too valuable to him. He's not gonna give it up without a fight. What is it that Jimmy McGill could value over his own life?
I can't keep track of what season I'm on with it on Netflix because it gets a new season so sporadically. Great show
Looks like she is going for the spousal privilege and possibly ensuring that they'll conflict out of any future opposition.
Kim should've "stayed out of the car" like she did at the beginning of the episode, but I guess she's all in with Jimmy. Gonna suck to see her demise.
Something is going to happen to her before this is all said and done. No way she is unmentioned in the backdrop of the BB universe. Right? I mean we know she didn't make it Nebraska with Gene.

...I'm thinking Kim might have some unfortunate involvement with Lalo v Gus if Saul is retained by Lalo.
Mostly yes to all of those things, but . . entertain for a moment some other things in BB about Saul. At some point he establishes a reliable relationship with Fring (moves to set Walt up in business with him, and knows how Fring does business). Saul also knows a professional live body relocation service, knows his secret vacuum code. How? Obviously Saul has had urgent need to do business with that dude previously. For whom? And who connected Saul to THAT guy? My bet is Fring? Why? Because ultimately Kim is going to be in danger for the general reason you suspect, and Fring will be responsible.
Coincidentally, the money that Mesa Verde has agreed to settle for is almost precisely what the relocation service fee was in Breaking Bad. Just thought I would mention that.
Kim's jr. high experience back home in Red Cloud, Nebraska. Do the writers of the BB / BCS series intend to illustrate Gene's relocation to Nebraska has nothing to do with Kim being from there? Pure coincidence? Zero tie-together? Maybe he goes there to be near something that has to do with Kim? Her gravesite?
Even if Saul was on a contingency instead of a fee basis, he'd only be getting a third of that settlement, so I don't think that amount will be of any significance moving forward.
Everything else you wrote is definitely food for thought. Especially the thing so obvious that I can't believe I didn't consider it: Of all the places to vanish to -- why Nebraska? That can't be a coincidence.
I don't know that he chose Nebraska. In the scene where he puts him in front of the screen to make his id Saul says Nebraska, who's in Nebraska and the vacuum guy said you are as if he didn't have a choice.
Absolutely correct about % vs. fee except for one thing, maybe two or three, but one in particular for now: did last night's episode clearly establish that Saul was actually (legally) representing a 92 year old native American photographer? Saul stated she was alive, that he knew where she was, implied Saul was going to see her even. Did he go see her, does he know where she is? Is she alive?
She gone. I think Kim's ego has gotten inflated from all the Mesa Verde stuff, coupled with her need to live on the edge with Jimmy's lifestyle, will make for the perfect storm with her demise. The question will be, does she go into hiding or do they kill her. Based on history of the show, I think they kill her.
Never heard of this. Y’all got me worrying about myself now. I own a tv and have internet on my phone. Thought I was up to date. Gotta get out more.
Remember that the one thing we do know between Lalo and Saul is that it ends bad. If you remember when Walter and Jesse kidnap and take him to the desert, he thinks it's Lalo that has him and is relieved that when they take the blindfold off that it's not him.
