Which mystery is the one who knocks on your noggin? You better comment below! For more Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, check out our playlist: th-cam.com/video/iKO3QuutQBw/w-d-xo.html
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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
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
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
@@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.
@@RonVanderDussen uu good question ..., breaking bad ..., because some last episode of Better Call Saul will make more sense if we watch breaking bad first ...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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👍🏾🔥💥
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.
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.
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.
@@kittiwhieldon4329 I agree i rewatched breaking bad, took two weeks and it was so much better not having to wait week to week and forgetting details and such. Didn’t realize the whole series is 2 years only!
@@kittiwhieldon4329 Yep, I enjoyed it better the second time I watched BCS. When BCS was announced I had different expectations of the series, I thought it would be about charismatic Saul helping out all kind of low life criminals in his own unique rotten ways. I had expected it to be more of a comedy series. It took me a while before I saw BCS for what it is, not the same thing as BB or what I had envisioned BCS to be. The second time I watched BCS I could watch it without being bothered by my expectations and immensely enjoyed it for what it is: a master piece of storytelling, acting and filming. I think I enjoyed BCS even better than BB in the end.
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
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.
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
Vas was one of the best character in the whole series, ngl he's acting is pretty good, nailed it Also saul goodman was such a good series with the perfect pace I've ever watched, the way how the story unveils is just good
There is a sense of justice in Saul’s vengeance against his enemies. He wanted to be good, he wanted to do things right but his own brother kept destroying him and make him think Jimmy will always be a bad person until Jimmy started to think and accept it. It’s one of those scenarios where a person is trying to change but people see them as THAT person now and will try to get them to accept it

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.

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)
In the end, Lalo gift was a means to the end of Gus.
Very poetic.
Also the laugh that Lalo had when giving the bell to Hector, is the same laugh he had when Gus killed him in the lab

Salamence is a pokemon 😂

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
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

2 characters that were briefly mentioned by Saul in his introduction to Breaking Bad became my most favourite characters in BCS
One of the only shows where I could feel my heart broken at the end...What an amazing ride both shows were
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.
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.
Best freakin' watchmojo vid. Seriously. Props to the writers, this is a quality deep dive on a complicated show.
Could’ve waited..There’s literally 2 episodes left 😅
Was about to say the same thing…. They dumb as fluff sometimes
ha well you didn't think about this:
now they get to make another in about three weeks for more views
They already updated this video 3 or 4 times since BCS premiered. I'm pretty sure they will update again.
Don't worry, they'll re-use this same template and even the same answers 1 day later the show is over.
The final episodes are going to be all about events that happen after the Breaking Bad timeline so I guess it doesn’t make a difference
Amazing acting in both shows. Going to miss the BB universe
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...
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
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 🤷♀️
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
#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.

I never connected Krazy-8 from Better call Saul as being the same guy in the beginning of Breaking Bad..
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.
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
i wish i can erase my memory of watching Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul ... so i can start again with full excitement
Which one would you start with?
@@RonVanderDussen uu good question ..., breaking bad ..., because some last episode of Better Call Saul will make more sense if we watch breaking bad first ...
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
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.
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.
Attention to details is uncanny , well done Vince Gilligan you have my atmost respect sir ..
16:30 after finishing better call Saul it’s honestly more disturbing knowing that Lalo and Howard are buried beneath the Superlab 💀💀☠️
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 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.
that scene where don hector had a stroke was perfect. great transition by mark margolis.
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
Seeing Walter & Jessie on Monday's Saul episode was awesome
Ikr?👏🏾🙌🏾🔥💥
Saul’s golden toilet is hilarious. Aspires to be just like another crass psychopath who has a golden toilet in his apartment
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
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
One of my favorites is how subtle it is when you find out how Crazy 8 got his nickname. Lalo was so damn smooth 😭
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
Can we get a top 20 characters from Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul next!?!
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!
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.
A true breaking bad fan knows all the answers to these questions
Two of the best written shows with great direction, acting & cinematography
Them throwing out the cutout into the trash can foreshadows like crazy
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
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.
Just visited ABQ, NM last week. Adds so much hidden context to the shows.
Better call saul just explains that jimmy was the main character all along
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👍🏾🔥💥
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.
This was a great video.
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
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.
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.
17:24 damn Gilligan was thinking so far ahead
Needed this. I’m gonna rewatch better call Saul now.
When a series is as carefully detailed as BCS it arguably better on the rewatch.
@@kittiwhieldon4329 I agree i rewatched breaking bad, took two weeks and it was so much better not having to wait week to week and forgetting details and such. Didn’t realize the whole series is 2 years only!
@@TheRealDLamar I know crazy right?
@@kittiwhieldon4329 Yep, I enjoyed it better the second time I watched BCS. When BCS was announced I had different expectations of the series, I thought it would be about charismatic Saul helping out all kind of low life criminals in his own unique rotten ways. I had expected it to be more of a comedy series. It took me a while before I saw BCS for what it is, not the same thing as BB or what I had envisioned BCS to be. The second time I watched BCS I could watch it without being bothered by my expectations and immensely enjoyed it for what it is: a master piece of storytelling, acting and filming. I think I enjoyed BCS even better than BB in the end.
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
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.
The only question I had:is Huell alive???and im happy they answered it
With so many channels resorting to AI-generated content, it's refreshing to see that Mojo is still offering excellent writing and perspectives.
They could have waited a little longer and answered the biggest question "What happens to Saul Goodman after the end of Breaking Bad?"
Maybe they'll make a movie that shows how Saul Goodman's story like they did with Jesse's story in the el Camino movie
@@mukomenakasamala5151 ...why would we need a film for that when the TV show is already doing it?
This is hilarious 🤣
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
Vas was one of the best character in the whole series, ngl he's acting is pretty good, nailed it
Also saul goodman was such a good series with the perfect pace I've ever watched, the way how the story unveils is just good
There is a sense of justice in Saul’s vengeance against his enemies. He wanted to be good, he wanted to do things right but his own brother kept destroying him and make him think Jimmy will always be a bad person until Jimmy started to think and accept it. It’s one of those scenarios where a person is trying to change but people see them as THAT person now and will try to get them to accept it
This is so wel written man fuck respect to all ho made it.
