For someone who was treated as basically the second main character in the early seasons of Better Call Saul, Mike has really taken a back seat in this final season.

“Final note: a bit disappointed in Mike for not sniffing out that something was wrong about Lalo’s threat.”

The only thing I can think of is that Jimmy and Kim are the only potential weak point in this whole web, a place he can potentially go for information instead of just killing or being killed immediately.

I can’t believe Peter Gould actually admitted in an interview that they were stealing from themselves from the train robbery episode in BB. How do people still say this is better than BB when it’s just a copy? And Lalo coulda waited a few minutes more until Howard left. Wait that wouldn’t work because mid-season…

I get that Howard’s death was supposed to be payback for Jimmy and Kim’s shenanigans. Except it wasn’t. Lalo had no idea about or interest in their scheme and his killing Howard was not related to it at all. Lalo still would have wacked Howard even if Jimmy and Howard were best buds and Howard was just visiting for…

This is why you watch on demand

I am confused as to why Lalo would seek Jimmy out, and really even why he went there in season 5. Jimmy did not steal from him and is hardly in bed with Gus. They have not even met yet. The only “hole” in his original story, if I remember, that caused Lalo to drop in on Jimmy and Kim was he left out Mike’s help. …

In the future I’d recommend hitting the mute button and fast forwarding past the ending of Talking Saul.

I think the ones you talk about in the BB finale are hand-waved to a reasonably satisfying degree. For Skylar, it’s explained that Walt’s called in a bunch of fake tips/false sightings to distract the police before he sees her. For the machine gun, there’s a moment where the Nazi tells him to park a certain way and he…

TIL that Jessie Ennis (junior Davis & Main attorney Erin) is the daughter of John Ennis (the actor who impersonated the judge, and an old Mr Show cast member).

Cliff also knows that Kim set up the lunch where he saw “Howard” throw the hooker out of his car. And he shares the country club with Kevin Wachtell, who saw Jimmy the day they planted the fake drugs on Howard.

Perhaps we can all agree that the REAL villain of this story is the film student guy. What a douche.

What speaks most to me about the quality of writing of Better Call Saul is how Howard’s death is foreshadowed. In hindsight, his scene with the clumsy intern was Howard’s farewell. Kind of a touching moment amid the stress of the approaching meeting. You fully expect him to be a dick to the guy, but he ended up being…

I don’t think I’d excise any full seasons, but I think some of the earlier seasons could’ve done with some trimming. BCS, especially in the middle seasons, felt to me at points like they wanted to get to a specific event at a specific time (generally the end of the season, although with “Chicanery” and Chuck’s…

They’ve been having fun with the double-meaning titles this season, for sure. (Last week’s “Axe and Grind” describing both Saul and Kim’s axe to grind with Howard as well as Lalo’s actual use of an axe.)

Can we talk about how Jimmy and Kim had no qualms about burning the elderly clients and Main as collateral? They’ll land on their feet, as it was put, but they did screw a lot of people other than Howard along the way here.

LOL at this episode being titled “Plan and Execution”

They might make it look like a suicide, which people would probably believe based on his last few weeks. *sniff* This is me best-case-scenario-ing this thing.

I’ve been arguing for weeks that Howard isn’t that bad and people consistently call him a douchebag for reasons I can’t understand. He’s a little smarmy in his professional life but the way he interacts and treats people outside of work consistently paints the picture of a kind-hearted person.

I always thought Kim would make it out alive, just wasn’t sure how. Now I think she might get vacuumed just to keep her safe.
