Better Call Saul, the TV series
- Thread starter Temis the Vorta
- Start date
Another thing worth mentioning is that Lalo is 100% right. The other drug lords should have listened to him, if they did they and the entire Salamanca line would be alive right now. He’s like a version of Mike with no limits or regret.
For a show that’s usually big on continuity it bugs the hell out of me that Kaylee is not 4 in this show.
We’re still in 2003 right? She can’t have been more than 10 in BB.

The creaky lopsided scales at the end was hilarious. Thank you for posting that.
Thanks for dropping a comment re: part two, JirinPanthosa. I rarely use the streaming service that carries BCS so would likely have missed that there was another episode until I logged back in for next week's episode. Just checked and they've got the next episode lined up for tonight. Cheers!
Great first episode. What can I say? Better Call Saul never disappoints. I feel they've got a lot lined up for us this season. Great to see Robert Forster one last time.
They are in mid 2004 somewhere. There was a time jump last season that showed the month and year they were in. BB was in 2008 so they are just about 3 years from that.
By the time we met her though wasn’t it 2009? Time is really only marked in the show by bacon numbers, but his 51st birthday was in early season 5 which is when we first saw her IIRC. And she seemed 9-10 then.
Jimmy knows he's losing Kim, not just because of Saul Goodman, but also because he keeps slipping as always. The house tour was a decent attempt to gently push her back towards him, but Kim is no fool. As much as I've enjoyed watching Jimmy slowly become Saul, my heart breaks for Kim. The relationship is ultimately doomed and the big question of her ultimate looms larger with every passing episode. Death would be too obvious, so I fear something worse may happen to her.
Speaking of breaking hearts, Mike lost control after Kaylee kept pestering him with questions about his son/her father and his time on the force. Obviously that's a sore subject, but surely he knew that's something she wouldn't understand at her age (whatever it might be). My heart hurts watching him slip up like that in front of her and I want the best between them and Stacey.
Krazy-8 has been scooped up by the cops. Are we to assume this was what he was in jail for at the beginning of Breaking Bad? I don't remember how long he served at that time and whether that was his first time. I also can't remember if he knew Jesse or if it was just his cousin.

Oh Mike, that was a bit much. Poor Kaylee! I hope he sorts that out soon.
And I love, love, love Saul Goodman, but it is apparent that Kim does not, and it's a real shame.

I got the impression it wasn’t taking about his son that set him off but the comment “Mom says he was killed by bad men” which made him equate himself with his son’s killers as somebody who killed a good person not out of malice but out of necessity to avoid consequences of criminal behavior. Like she made him think about how he was no better than the ones he killed in revenge.
I thought Krazy 8 was a DEA informant in BB. That might be a result of this arrest.
Kim loves Jimmy McGill. She wanted the Jimmy McGill who wanted to live up to the standards set by Chuck. She is disgusted by the unrepentant charlatan who amorally enables criminals. But at this point she’s still trying to find Jimmy and pull him back.
I don’t think Kim dies, but getting caught in one of her schemes and losing her license seems like the only other likely result besides “Dumps Saul, calls him evil and beyond help, devotes self to defending the legally defenseless”.

Hm, you might be right there. Either way, it was unfortunate that Mike couldn't see that Kaylee doesn't understand why saying such things would upset and he reacted very poorly.
Oh, that's right, I had forgotten about that. Perhaps that's the result of Lalo's "much better" plan for him and ties into Hank's appearance as we glimpsed in one of the trailers.
Yup, I think you're right about that. Or perhaps the writers want us to think she'll lose her license and something worse happens? I don't know what, but I don't think it'll be death.
Mike is the bad guy now and he knows it. He cannot undo what has been done. I don't think Mike values his own life all that much. But, if he's broken bad, then he may as well apply his trade and make as much money as possible for the one thing he does care about - Kaylee.
A man provides.

It used to be that I hoped Kim would eventually hook up with future Jimmy, but now I'm not sure, he's becoming less likable by the minute, and maybe it'll be a good ending that he ends up living his dull Nebraskan life alone for the rest of his life.
I want Kim to be happy! Given she's never referenced in BB I'm hoping she just moves away to LA or something.
I want Nacho to get a happy ending all things considered, and am expecting he'll be the first person to make use of the vacuum repair shop.
BTW in episode two when the DEA show up to the meth house, I'm presuming the bald guy we see from behind is supposed to be Hank? Or am I putting two and two together and getting 27?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kim ends up being the one to find and bring Jimmy in then represent him.
One prediction. The first time we meet Saul, when Walt and Jesse pretend they are executing him, he yells “It wasn’t me, it was Nacho!” I predict what Nacho picked him up for will lead to them doing whatever he thought he was being executed for. Something Saul does that he knows if anyone found out he’d be murdered.

One thing I always found curious. Saul talked about going to Omaha at one point during Breaking Bad's run. Kim Wexler is from somewhere close to Kansas/Nebraska border, anywhere between two and five hours way. Did Saul have Kim in mind when he decided on Omaha?
Out of all places, why would Saul pick a city only a few hours from where his old flame grew up? Sure, it is entirely possible it has nothing to do with Kim...but I wouldn't be surprised if Kim is in Omaha. After all, Gene couldn't bring himself to leave Omaha...

Was that the euphemism he used for killing Mike?
I can’t find the exact line, but something like “Why don’t you send him to Nebraska? You know, the same place you sent Mike.”
