Just found this fella who does really in depth analysis of BCS.

He is discussing the themes of 'switching gears' in the show.

He sounds like he should be one of the writers.

Good analysis on Werner and similarities/differences to Walter White.

He has an interesting take on the yellow graffiti as well.

Also a mad theory on Lalo/Kim.

That’s absolutely brilliant!

If you're going to go down the aging route, poor Mike won't stand a chance

You have to let go of the aging thing. That's not telling people how to enjoy it, it'll just ruin the whole thing for yourself. It's a given that the actors will look older now than in BB. Better they look older than they get a younger cast to play them.

I know I am ruining it for myself but I just can't help seeing it now.
As for Mike's age I have written him off as old anyway because he is Pop Pop.
A geriatric hit-man.
I suppose they would not do any editing or Computer Generated Imagery because it would not be 'true' to the show.
For example Boardwalk empire used loads of CGI and I never really noticed that it was not real.

I know in BCS used some already but they could do with using it to make the actors look a bit younger ?

I'd love if they introduced some mad story, like Mike going through a phase of cross-dressing, but he had grown out of it by the time we met him in Breaking Bad. Just to totally f*ck with fans :pac:

This show has gotten so boring, only continue watching because of the time investment already made.

I don't understand watching 4 seasons of it if you don't like it. I stopped watching Walking Dead and Preacher during their second seasons because they we really boring to me. Can't imagine going any further with it than that.

Hahaha that would be fantastic!!!!

Someone mentioned the problem with the actors themselves aging.

Yeah its pretty obvious in them all. The worst to me are Huel and Mike. I've always thought as BCS progresses, there are little subtleties used to hide this. Like how many scenes are shot in poor light. But the only time I really did a double take was when Mike came out of Werner's trailer after discovering the note. He appeared to stumble off the bottom step. And of course he doesn't break into a run, he tells his sidekick to do that! Hope he'll be ok for the next (and presumably final) season. Its one thing realising the frailties of characters you like, but its completely different having to think about that for the actors who play them. I feel like if I met any of the actors, I'd be thinking we somehow had a shared experience in BCS/BB, whereas most likely they'd tell me to " F.O its only my job".

Anyway, that's me out for a couple of days. I never watch on tuesdays, so not going to risk seeing anything here .

Next season has to be the last, not sure how much further they can stretch it from here. Like others, I'm just watching out of time already invested at this stage.

Not really much of a cliff hanger at the end of a season was it?
I kind of just watch it now as a time filler. As a season finale that was a big let down and wouldn’t have me eagerly awaiting the next season.

Lalo is a smart bastard. Wonder will the milkshake guy sue for whiplash.

And possibly employ Saul Goodman!

Brilliant stuff. The final form of Saul and Mike.

Mike was for the chop too until he volunteered himself is my understanding. Am I right?

I would imagine it's very possible.
