Better Call Saul ***Spoilers***

Yeah and the fella selling the guns to Mike was in breaking bad as well.

He seemed like a nice fello!

Maybe Mike had some moral thing going on for not killing Tuco, but I guess by not killing him it leaves Nacho on edge and it gives Mike some leeway with Nacho since he knows his jazz.. A common enemy and all that

I used to like the BB episodes of Mike so no problems with this. It's fun to watch.

Enchiladas for dinner today I think

Quick question...

(not gonna be a quick answer!)

When BCS finishes...

For first time viewers: Is it gonna be better to watch BCS then BB or the way it was aired?

The way it was aired, definitely. Some small parts of BCS takes place after BB even though most of it is a prequel.

Besides, many of the guest characters appearing in BCS who were in BB first, the effect and surprise of them showing up in BCS would be completely lost.

Definitely BB first.

I know Tuco was snorting stuff but still seemed coherent enough that he should realise something was up, a rake of cops out of nowhere with guns drawn.

IIRC Nacho turned up to meeting with the pharmaceutical hummer guy with other gang guys who could recognise Mike, though those gang guys presumably knew Nacho was going behind Tucos back on those deals so could be loyal.

So far there has been nothing in BCS which spoils BB.

Eh, the Cinabon scenes?!?!?

Not really because it has not shown how/why he got there.

But it still shows that he's alive. There's a few points in BB where his survival looked by no means certain.

Yeah, unless they did an amazing make up/special fx job & made him look 13!

Another quality episode, my favourite this season. I think the scene with Chuck and Kim was great, even better than the Chuck/Jimmy scene from last season. I was left wondering about Chuck's conclusion though. Did he go looking through those books for something to pin on Jimmy? I wouldn't be surprised if we learn that Jimmy had nothing to do with that missing cash or even that he was using the cash to keep his father out of trouble somehow. Another example of Jimmy bending the rules for, in his view, the greater good and Chuck being unwilling to accept any deviation from the straight path?

What is clear is that Chuck worshiped (or at least worships the memory of) his father and that he believes Jimmy was responsible for his death. This is enough to make his resentment understandable.

It will be interesting to see if Kim completely believes Chuck's story. Will she construct a narrative around Jimmy's bad traits the same as Chuck has or will she continue to believe he's a good guy beneath it all? The writers are clearly swaying the story this season to make us sympathise with those around Jimmy... but I think they'll swing things back around before the end of the season. I'd imagine that when everything is said and done they'll want us in Jimmy's corner but so far this season has made Chuck's position the more convincing, in my eyes at least.

I am less interested in Mike's story to be honest and I didn't get any buzz from Tio's arrival. I'm guessing Mike vs Tio and Tuco will lead to Guss appearing sooner rather than later but for me it's all about Jimmy, Kim and Chuck.

It was interesting episode,very different from others,few stories developing,chucks illness will be revealed at some point and what caused it,Tucos uncle showing up - i guess its early spoiler but few months in prison he will get thats where we will see skinny pet ? appear as in meeting tuco while inside prison,and maybe even Jesse being around when pete is out.

Mike seemed cornered when Tio showed up and offered 5k for him trying to take the blame of accident.Wonder how will Guss appear-since seems he would be controlled by cartel,but from BB we know he hates them all,thus will be interesting.

Jimmy was clearly annoyed and guess wont be long before he quits company-scene with teddy bear,soda cans.

All in turning for somewhat more in depth series not only focusing on BB alone,but developing sort of another tv side play show.

But as we all want everything soon and given that series are slow moving and somewhat short i think ill skip few episodes,since buildup to events and most likely one more season or so coming out,leaves me feeling if there was more to follow up then just wait another week,to see such great acting and stories turned out.

Sometimes the journey is more interesting than the destination :-)
