Thread: Better Call Saul - Season 6 Teaser Trailer
Not even gonna watch a teaser, but damn I can't wait! I have really loved this show, though I would concede that the most recent season has gotten a bit cartoonish.

I still need to watch 80% of season 5
Will probably start over and just watch all of 5
Right now I'm re-watching Breaking Bad for the third time and holy fuck is this show just unbelievably good. Could watch it every year or every other year and probably never tire of it. Most recently finished Season 2 Episode 1

I've been watching each week. I'm glad the storyline is giving major focus to Jimmy, Kim and Howard again. I know people like Nacho a lot, but the show was becoming Better Call Nacho at one point. It was never better than the first few seasons with Chuck.
But I am very interested to see how things play out. Do we find out Kim was there during the Breaking Bad timeline and helped create the monster of Saul Goodman the whole time? Or does she die?
What happens to Howard? They could give him major legal or even criminal trouble or even fucking kill him if they wanted to. Any character that isn't mentioned in Breaking Bad can have anything happen.

I was kind of hoping Nacho would make it tbh, but yeah I'm definitely hyped to see how things play out and where Kim fits into everything. One thing I thought was notable was we didn't get any tease of present-day Jimmy at the Cinnabon and given he was discovered last season I'm curious as to where that goes.
Yeah those present day snippets were so damn intriguing and now we aren't really getting them. We saw what happened to Saul's property after his disappearance, but we haven't gotten an update on what's happening with "Gene" in what feels like forever.
There are some wild theories about the taxi driver who outed Saul at the mall.

Yeah, this was a good one. So fucked up. It was great to see Saul and Kim get called out so correctly.

goddam, this show is brilliant, even after the episode back in May I was like "Man I have no idea how they will resume in July and keep the same quality". Last night's episode was amazing, had trouble sleeping a bit though with a few of those last scenes.
Shit, it's back? Damn, that was fast. Snuck up quick. Time to tune in.
So fucking good. Best show there is right now.
Holy shit. They packed a lot in there (in more ways than one). Damn, I can't believe how everything played out so quickly. Breakneck pace.
If you haven't listened to it already it's always worth listening to the Better Call Saul Insider Podcast for behind-the-episode stuff. i must admit they do get a bit self-congratulatory at times, but it's usually balanced out with some insights into the ideas and themes behind the episode and usually features some of the actors.

Fuck I can't watch this until later tonight. Really can't wait. For as much as I've nitpicked some of the cartoonish elements that were starting to take place in the show in the last couple seasons, the most recent half season was top fucking notch.
I really hope they do a full series 4K blu ray collection soon.

Well damn. Not completely sure where they go from here. Cool episode, though.

I legit felt bad for Howard, anyone who has worked in an office setting has known someone like him. Ultra successful but always with that giant chip on their shoulder and a ton of baggage under the covers that no one really gets to see.
Howard was such a generally unlikable guy but when they tossed him in the grave, taking his shoes and ID, ring I really felt bad for him that anyone who 'might' have cared for him at one point will never know what really happened to him. What a way to go out.

Listening to that podcast apparently the scene in Jimmy's apartment was where Bob Odenkirk had his heart attack and he did die and they only managed to revive him using a defrib and resuscitation. They filmed other scenes whilst BO was in recovery and it was two months until they could carry on.

Probably the bit with the chair.Listening to that podcast apparently the scene in Jimmy's apartment was where Bob Odenkirk had his heart attack and he did die and they only managed to revive him using a defrib and resuscitation.

Nah, this was towards the end of the previous episode apparently. All of what was in this episode with Bob was filmed after the 2-month hiatus and they just worked around him being out of the equation filming everything else.
Well after all that, after all they managed to get away with, Jimmy still loses Kim.
One thing that's odd about the amount of wealth they are showing Saul to have during the Breaking Bad years is that I just never got the impression that he was that successful while watching BB.
...actually scratch that because I forgot about the Sandpiper money. He gets a big influx of cash while business was already ramping up.

Yeah, I must admit the sudden change in lifestyle did throw me a bit but at the same time you are right, the Sandpiper cash would have come through. Although with that said I didn't think it would have quite led to Jimmy going that far all in given the low-end criminal nature of his clientele.
Really thrown by Kim withdrawing from the Bar. I can understand her maybe wanting to separate from Jimmy, but giving up on her career entirely versus just breaking up and moving away seemed a bit extreme. When they had 'suicide' warning come up at the beginning of the episode I was fully expecting her to jump off the balcony when Jimmy came back or some shit after that (thank god that didn't happen).
I wonder if Bob Odenkirk is happy he doesn't have to wear a hairpiece anymore? Also given we have a few episodes left and we've transitioned to Saul I suspect we are likely going to transition to Gene much quicker than anticipated.
Very curious to see how they handle any Jesse, Walter White stuff if they do flashbacks, or whether they'll flash forward to Gene and have either Jesse or Kim re-appear on the scene. Despite everything, actually kind of hoping that Gene/Jimmy/Saul has a good ending for him
Also, I loved Howard's wife not remotely buying their BS (also see that actress crops up a lot in different things and she's hot as hell...well done Howard) and giving them that awkward moment treatment.
Pretty good episode tonight. Though the re-cast for the taxi driver really threw things out of whack a little bit for me.
Yeah, I listened to the Insider Podcast and basically, there was a scheduling issue and they couldn't get the original actor which is why they had to go that route. The guy they gave it to has narrowly missed out on the role before so they figured he'd be a good fit, although apparently, he ran around so much (despite the snowy appearance they filmed everything in Albuquerque) that he collapsed at one point and they had to give him oxygen.
It was a cool episode (the entire Department Store was a set built from scratch apparently), and I must admit I was thrown that they jumped to Gene. Very curious to see whether that continues next week, or whether we jump back to Saul. I guess it could be that that is a wrap on Gene, with the 'We're done' however my Spider-sense, says that we'll get more Gene yet.
I'm wondering what they do as well, but it really felt like it could go either way. The episode ends with Gene putting the shirt and tie back on the rack and walking away. Maybe that was him enjoying one last Saul moment before putting Saul behind him for good.
But I doubt it's the last time we see the Gene timeline, so maybe we will see him getting caught for the mall heist or something? I'm guessing next episode is back to right before the Breaking Bad timeline starts.
I totally understand the need for the re-cast of Jeff, but it also seems hard to imagine the last actor they used in this episode. The character itself felt different to me. Some viewers are probably confused as to who the guy even is lol

I would never have guessed if you hadn't mentioned it before I started watching it. I think it only clicked after around 10 mins and I had read your comment an hour or so beforehand.
I'm really not sure where they're going with this, and I thought the whole stuff with Kim ended far too abruptly.
As much as I enjoyed the most recent episode (especially as it felt a lot like scheming Jimmy from the earlier seasons), I still can't even begin to fathom how they're gonna wrap this show up. Kudos as well for keeping it entirely black and white.
^ Yeah it's crazy that there's still three episodes left. It seemed like episode 9 wrapped up the pre-BB Saul buildup, and episode 10 wrapped up the post-BB Gene chapter. They have to shoehorn Walt and Jesse somewhere I guess. Cool. But not sure what is let to tell. Maybe they show some more of Saul behind the scenes during the BB years with more ties back to his past, maybe Gene goes looking for Kim. Just no idea what they're going to do with these three seemingly "extra" episodes.

Gene is Saul after the end of Breaking Bad when he's paid the vacuum cleaner guy to disappear him from Albuquerque and give him a new identity.

Ah, that makes sense. Been such a long time since I watched BB my memory fails me.
