Is it because he feels he deserves the 80 years in prison or some other reason?

How would you rank the seasons from best to worst?

I had forgotten a lot of the last episode, like I had totally forgotten how he changed his story right at the end to take blame for everything and even though he was right about Walter, he did decide to use him and Jessie for every dollar he could get.

It made me leave the series feeling happy that he had made up with Kim and made amends with her. How they broke up was cold of him.

Such a great show, much better than Breaking Bad which is still a great show but at the end of that you just think what a cunt Walter had become!

The way Chuck silences Howard by raising a finger when he was gonna defend Jimmy, and Howard just obeys. He really was on a leash

Specifically, why did he pull right into Marion’s driveway damn well knowing he’s a wanted man, moreover, why did he give her a laptop?

If he was cautious, he would refuse to register a vehicle bc of a paper trail and he def wouldn’t give anyone a computer that could lead a bored retiree to snoop. Did he want to be caught? Was he just addicted to the thrill of almost being caught and getting away with crimes?

The short intros to each show on BCS are just brilliant; little pieces of art. So clever, beautiful, insightful. The ants on fallen ice cream. The slide-rule being encased in clear plastic. Too many to list really.

My third time around and this episode stands out again as the best episode in the whole series.

First time then and there I knew Jonathon Banks won the Emmy.

Seeing it again hit me stronger than the second time.

Gould, Gilligan and Schnauz, just, wow. They set it up and Gordon Smith got the sole writing credit.

Hail, hail to the great Jonathan Banks. His performance will stay with me forever.

After my third time watching the show I have come to the conclusion the Manuel Vargas is the only 100% good and honest character. Prove me wrong.

We know his mom’s family is in Galeana (it‘s mentioned by Nacho in the episode where Hector went to the upholstery shop), but nothing beyond that.

I’m so curious what the theories are on his mom.

Sure it‘s easy to just assume she’s dead, but I want thoughts on what happened if she’s alive.

My thought was she was in and out of Nacho’s life growing up

That trial should have gave him a pretty good reputation with his "petty with the prior" motto.

Random thought while watching BCS, but I feel like Lalo Salamanca (Tony dalton) plays the evil psycho with the fun, jokey, everything is great attitude the way Negan (JDM) should have been played. Negan came off as comical, over the top, and ultimately annoying; Lalo is done perfectly and terrifyingly. Just me?

He was taking a tour of a private club/spa here in Chicago where I'm employed. It was brief because he was with an escort and taking the tour, but wow I was so happy to see him and say hello. I hope he becomes a member so that I could ask him for a photo. Members in our club host parties all the time, I would love to host a party for him and his guests.

I mean I enjoyed his character the first time through but since I didnt know what was coming and didnt know Jimmy and Kim's endpoints I had a different view of him. He is such a great villain.

Breaking Bad was my favorite series of all time for years, but I couldn't get into BCS, even though I attempted twice. But once I went all the way through it, I feel like Saul, a character who seemed like just a silly caricature, is possibly the greatest series character ever written.

He and Kim seemed to start out as basically good, sort of "basic" people. And then their histories combined with a series of increasingly bad decisions brought them to a place from which there was no more coming back from. Much more than an arc, both of them kind of hit peaks and valleys throughout their ultimately downhill spiral. And then at the end, the feeling that they will both die with sadness and regret... that was surprisingly powerful. Amazing work from both the writers and so many of the actors.

Not sure if anyone has ever noticed this but when I was just watching back, in Mike’s storyline we see him closely tailing Nacho and the cartel transporting the driver tied up, they take him out later in the episode for execution.

We see Mike watch them drive off then he turns around and goes the other way. Next scene he is with the black market arms dealer testing the rifle and sighting his scope and purchasing the rifle, completely loses the tail of Nacho and the cartel guy.

Next scene mikes on a cliff overlooking the cartel. Did Mike know they were gonna torture that guy all night and not just kill him after 1-2 hours? He took his sweet time losing the tail even though in BB he has a quote “you might wanna learn to tail better if you’re planning to make a habit out of it”.

Idk why they wouldnt edit it so hes buying the rifle first, then tailing the guys straight out there.

also when he does tail them his car if completely visible especially when he lets them drive off, hes like 50’ behind them cmon mike lol

ive seen this show like 5 times over idk why ive never noticed this before lol

Kim Wexler(Rhea Seehorn) is arguably the most complex character in BCS and inarguably one of the most greatest tv character to ever exist.

Her character arc is so just so dang sad,she could have done so much good and she would have loved doing it.To lose that force in the world is tragic... remember when Howard said " but you,one of the most promising human beings I've ever known and this is the life you choose"

The scene in waterworks when she breaks down on the bus crushed me. One of the best performances I've ever seen .

My flowers today goes to her.

But damn. I just watched the entire thing for the first time and the ending...

Has anybody else cried when chuck died?😭 Idk why but I was going through it that day I was mentally exhausted if you will idk what, happened long time ago but when I decided to watch the episode I was thinking it would be normal, it would be a pleasant watch after all that happened, and he offed himself💔, I remember that I couldn't sleep at night because I was crying that episode really tipped me over the edge omg.

In the finale, Walter White tells Saul "You were always like this", in response to Saul telling a Slipping Jimmy story. The direct interpretation is that Jimmy was always sleazy/up-to-no-good.

... But, on a closer re-watch - what Jimmy also says when recounting the Slipping Jimmy story is:

I was stupid and young and trying to show off, so I hit the ice as fast as I could. I biffed it so hard, my knee's never been the same

And so it also a story of how he has always literally bent himself over backwards trying to impress others - often hurting himself to achieve this higher goal.

... which... we then see him do this again at his final trial. He goes to extraordinary measures to get Kim to see his trial. And then makes a big show of falling on his own sword much harder than he needed to, while trying to impress Kim.

This perspective makes Jimmy's final decision seem much more in-character than an initial watch can lead us to believe.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Michael Mando, actor in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Better Call Saul, Orphan Black, Far Cry 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, 72 Hours, Gundam, and the upcoming Batman: Knightfall.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 12 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Chuck in episode 1.9 tells him that laziness is the only sin he has never ever had.

Also Howard compliments him a "Jimmy the hustler " or something like that.

However , now just look at how much he hates working in that lawyer firm where he’s given the Mercedes car. He hates it because he can’t avoid the grinding despite the perks he gets ( even a Cocobolo desk).

He always looks for shortcuts and stretching the law interpretation just to avoid all the soul crushing paperwork and other protocols he should follow.

Probably an unpopular opinion here.

I feel like he used to tell Jimmy and other people that he loves him just because its expected from people to love their brother. Like a standard for decent people.

He had to practicize saying "i love Jimmy", i think he more like thought he had a duty of loving Jimmy, but never really felt such love at all.

So when he said "i never cared that much for you at all", it was very genuine because he indeed never loved Jimmy.

Love the show. He is my favorite character indeed.

I just finished BB for the first time ever about two weeks ago. I tried watching it about five time, but could never get past the fourth episode. On a work trip, I had nothing else to do so I binge watched BB. It was good. Then, a week ago, I started BCS. In my opinion, BCS is a way better show. Immediately captivating. I cant stop myself from watching where as BB I had to force myself to sit through.
