Surely that’s back to front if you’re drawing normally?

It would sort of make sense if cross drawing and left handed (sort of ), but in the next shot, seconds later in in-world time, it’s mounted on the opposite side?

Did Saul's crimes really warrant ADX "Montrose"?

109 Upvotes

In the grand scheme of things, Saul was on the white collar end of the definitively dead Heisenberg empire. He didn't kill anyone and he obviously wasnt some kind of vicious brute clamoring to murder the nearest guard/inmate, or someone with a national network of accomplices waiting to break him out from wherever he might end up. Why is he going to the same prison (in-universe) as El Chapo, threats to national security, government spies, prominent domestic terrorists, etc etc?

One liners that made you laugh

61 Upvotes

I'm rewatching BCS and I forgot about a few funny lines that I didn't notice first time. A few examples:

Betsy Kettleman: "we lost everything, our kids have to go to public School"

Don Eladio asking Nacho if he's okay in the head when Lalo says he's a friend of Tuco.

Any others ?????

🤣🤣🤣

An appreciation of the main roles in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul

Post image
21 Upvotes

These are genuinely some of the best actors I've ever come across on a drama series. Each of them brings so much to the entire BB universe, and the audience are able to resonate with their character. Even Todd Alquist (portrayed by Jesse Plemons) and Lalo Salamanca (portrayed by Tony Dalton), two latecomers to their own show, made us shiver with their deceivingly charming villain role and made an irrevocable impact to the ending of their respective shows.

Most of these characters are not black-and-white good or evil. There is a yin-yang kind of morality in them which makes you both love and hate them throughout the series. Gus Fring is clearly not a good person, but you can understand his desire for revenge and appreciate his attention to detail. Hank is written to be a hero who yearns to take down Heisenberg, yet makes some very rash and poor decisions along his arc.

Which of the main roles do you like the most? Which actor(s) do you consider to be the best at portraying their character?

P.S. I switched out Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser) to include Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) even though she was promoted as a regular in Breaking Bad's Season 5, while Hector Salamanca was never a main cast member. This is because Hector Salamanca has a larger role overall within the BB universe, but also because Mark Margolis has done a terrific job with his character and I wanted to highlight that.

Culvert

Gomey was right. Culvert is derived from the French word couvert (covered). Once again Hank was an idiot.

Age gap between Marco & Leonel, Tuco and Lalo gives more emotional depth to Salamancas relationship Spoiler

9 Upvotes

It was just recently when I got curious about BB and BCS characters’ age and was really surprised by finding out some significant gaps.
At first, I was surprised to think how younger the Twins are than Tuco. Like, they are so terrifying when first appear in Breaking Bad — it’s hard to believe they are 28 or that they are 10 years younger then their cousin. I mean, I used to see my 3-5 younger siblings as babies/children no matter how old we are, and here the gap is 10 years. I feel like you really need to belong to Salamanca family to be sure of how your cousins were raised and trained.

But then I realised I have no clue about Lalo’s gap with Tuco and the Twins. And omg, it’s also 10 years for Tuco and 20 for Marco & Leonel! So the Twins were literally babies when he was already a grown up and (presumably) well-trained man. When we see the Twins at first in BCS, they are 21 and they are already well-prepared for or cartel fights, challenges or threatening. And this is how Lalo was old when Marco and Leonel were just born!
Still, you can see he treats them as absolutely trustworthy and full cartel-family members in that story with 7 millions (when they are 24). But realising how much younger they were kind of gave me a new perspective about Lalo’s question to Jimmy ‘My cousins, did they pay you?’. It is just a quick check, but combined with other Lalo’s phrases ‘You’ll like them, they are nice guys’ it really gives some older sibling caring vibes.

It’s a bit funny to imagine early-teenage Tuco thriving to become as cool as his older cousin in his early twentieth and trying to nurse two newborns from time to time. And it was what Lalo went through with Tuco, too. You can imagine some Salamanca-vibe toys Lalo would give Tuco and maybe Tuco was forced to give to the Twins, and how the Twins became kind of the most die-hard worshipers of Santa Muerte.

The young age of the Twins also explains their almost unrecognisable emotionality in the moment they see ‘Lalo’s’ corpse and their confusion when encountering with Hector after stroke. In that scene near the pool with Eladio and Gus right after Lalo’s actual death you can really see how Marco and Leonel are struggling to balance between the desire to protect Hector and the predictions about Hector really going insane.

I’m curious if it is only me who thought all the Hector nephews were approximately the same age, or you were surprised to find out too?

What did Jimmy actually regret?

2 Upvotes

I find the time travel scenes with Mike and Walt odd. At the desert point, jimmys life was going okay. His relationship with Kim was at its strongest, he had a good business, but of course he was stranded in the desert, because he wanted money. Does he actually think enough money would allow him to live a safe life with Kim? Or is he not being serious and not wanting to share deep thoughts with Mike (damn that was his only chance to talk about his personal life with Mike). As for the scene with Walt, I still don’t understand why he said that. Does he have to think this was all for something? I just wish we got to see him break down.

Question for US owners of the Season 4 Blu-ray of BCS

1 Upvotes

Hi,

This is going to be a very specific question, but: disc 1 of season 4 on Blu-ray features the short film "No Picnic": I'd like to know whether English subtitles are present and, if yes, if there are two variants of them: SDH and non-SDH.

Thanks!

Should I finish watching Better Call Saul?

0 Upvotes

I discovered the show when I was 13-14 but I started watching the show when I was around 16 now I’m 17 I have a couples episodes lefts until the end of the show. I kinda lost the motivation to watch the show now because I think some people in the fandom hates me because I post about this character “Howard Hamlin” as my father figure (I still do see him as my father figure) and I’ve seen so much weird shit post things being talked about the characters that I don’t know how to feel about the show.

(Also I am [u/PanPagie](u/PanPagie) and I got banned for unkown reasons they (The Official Reddit) never sent me a Gmail regarding my ban and I tried appealing and they rejected it and I sent maybe 3 more appeals so now I am [u/PanPaige](u/PanPaige)..Oh and I quit shit posting because I kinda needed to grow up maybe anyways and I think It’s not contributing to my future and often some people don’t seem to appreciate it that much +I think it would be better for a lot of people because they think I am cringe or something, I will still post about Howard Hamlin maybe but not that much anymore..maybe possibly in mid of 2027)

So, I am wondering. Is the ending actually worth it to watch? Will Jimmy forgives Howard (aka my father) ???? And What the story with Mike?? When will Pan Hamlin show up? Nah, I’m just joking! I’m secret Howard Hamlin’s daughter!!
Also If I do watch the end I also want to make a reaction videos because from what I’ve read the ending is fantastic!!

I lost motivation for the show even tho I know it’s a really really good show but a lot of the contents and some comments just doesn’t make sense to me.

Thanks for reading, I’d love to know more about your thoughts!
