Better Call Saul ***Spoilers***

I actually hated that. It's the curse of prequels, people put in explanations for things that don't need explanations. Of all things, we didn't need to have an explanation for where Saul got the inflatable Statue of Liberty.

Other than that, I have no complaints. A great start to the season. Nacho has been the unsung hero of the entire show. The actor is just terrific and especially as we have no idea where his character ends up, he's the one I'm rooting for the most, even more than Kim.

Recap for season 1-5

It's interesting to me as I don't think Howard is the worst, and just drives on the fact Jimmy and Kim are increasingly becoming ****.

The worst thing Howard did was be Chuck's puppetman, and even then you could see it didn't sit well with him.

"I could care less." Are you American?

I dont give a sh1t that you are annoyed by could care less !!

WTAF ??

Just making you aware of it that is all, no offence meant.

It is just makes no sense as it is a grammatical malapropism from America. I thought a funny take on it might amuse you. Obviously not! 😫

It is unusual to see Irish people use it.

I will look out for ‘I could care less’ in BCS maybe that is where you picked it up.

But it is amusing/annoying as ‘could care less’ makes no sense. That would mean you care, but have less to care. ‘Couldn’t care less’ is the phrase you are after.

I think the Kim/Jimmy/Howard narrative will develop. And you might get more into it. It could even overlap with the Lalo narrative. But it is only my opinion. I am not offended if you ‘couldn’t care less’! 😎

Anyone know what the whole safe thing was about? Mike breaks in and then replaces it with another safe and puts a letter in it with Nachos phone number on it and then later I think it was one of Lalos men opening it up. Why did Mike do that if he is protecting Nacho?

He is protecting Nachos father. While also putting the Motel number in so Bolsa could track Nacho. That was my take on it. Basically playing a double game distancing Nacho from Fring.

And at the same time, trying keeping Nacho’s father out of it

There was a list of bank account numbers on the letter. Planted by Mike. I assume they don’t link to Fring.

Edit - Nachos father. Not LILO’s father! 😆

I think the main reason was to make sure there was nothing that linked Nacho to Fring, just in case Nacho had made any recordings or anything else which could link Fring to everything that happened to Lalo/Hector. Plus they could plant the fake bank letter leading them to where Nacho was, which would make it seem like Nacho was working on his own.

Mike saw the fake ID for Nacho's father and took it to ensure there was no link to him either; his way of protecting the father since he couldn't stop Gus from basically sentencing Nacho to death. Mike couldn't protect or help Nacho, but he took the ID to help protect Nacho's father.

I assume they also had to match the safe in case it was one the Salamancas gave to Nacho, or any of their men had seen it in Nacho's place before.

I couldn't understand that part either. They made it clear that the cousins wanted Nacho alive, so it's not like it was an oversight.

Why send the Salamanca's to Nacho and risk Nacho talking?

I assumed the flashback to Saul’s home was in the BB timeline? Catching up to BB and the reason he had to pretend to be Gene in Cinnabon place. I could be wrong though. And didn’t see another twist.

It is a great start anyway packed a lot in those two episodes.

yeah I think you're right, the flashback (or forward in BCS context) is likely from Breaking Bad and the removal is from when everything went tits up near the end. I dont think we ever saw Sauls house in BB and of course no mention of Kim Wexler either so a lot has to happen now to tie it all together from him now to when he entered BB in S2.

I would to see BCS back room meetings. The attention to detail is off the scale. A lot of episodes need a rewatch because they are so subtle.

For example the safe thing in Nacho’s I understood. But I missed the Lalo ‘teeth’ trick. Until it was pointed out. It feels like an observational exam at times!

I would say the producers rarely ever had to use the phrase ‘continuity error’ it is more the viewers missing things, rather than the other way around.
