Better Call Saul

TWD tried to invoke Fallout and produced a dollar store Weekend at Bernie's, except nothing impactful.
Most people I feel hopped off TWD ship around season 7/8.
Aren’t half the characters now gay? You would think in a world where the human population has plummeted that most gay men would take one for the team to get humanity’s numbers up lol.
 
poor Howard , he didn't deserve to go out like that!

can't wait for that talk..
I find it really weird that Howard would be looking at Kim and Jim and not the guy holding his gun.

Yes I know I'm being a sperg they they wanted to frame that shot so it was Howard getting shot in the side of his head. But like how couldn't you keep your eyes on the gun and not have your survival instincts kick in with a fight or flight response?

He didn't even threaten them
He threatened them at the end of his speech, by pledging to dedicate the rest of his life to exposing their psychopathic schemes. I guess he was successful, in a way.

I called it 100%. The show would never have the balls to make Howard kill himself nor have Jimmy or Kim be responsible for Howard dying. It was exactly like Hank dying. He goes to confront Walt, gets killed by someone who also wants to confront Walt (and Jesse). Lalo wants to confront Jim and Kim and Howard just happens to be there. And both the Nazis and Lalo will die as well.

I am 100% confident I can predict the entire ending of BCS now based on how they did BB as well.
No, they are both responsible for the death of Howard. About 90% of the way, with the other 10% being his life circumstances and Howard's mania towards exposing Jimmy, mirroring Chuck. It's just that all their actions leading up to this were low impact when compared to Hamlin's brain matter splattering all over their living room and, just like with Chuck, only the audience got to see the full picture. Anybody living in the BCS universe wouldn't pin the blame on them. Hell, a lot of viewers wouldn't either because the all the actions leading up to this moment are on a long timeline with some leeway to insert empathy.

I feel like there's a theme with both of their deaths, of evil being forgiven or glanced over when it happens slowly or imperceptibly, like death by a thousand cuts. If there's no single fully black and white offense, they dindu nuffin and it's all Lalo. "Not our Jimmy!"
 
How did Lalo even get in the apartments if Jim had Mikes men watching over them? Its not like they are low prio targets either considering the time in the desert and that Lalo confronted them once and Mike himself saw that, and that same confrontation led to Lalos attempted assasination. No way Mike pulled them
 
How the fuck did Lalo just walk in to Jimmy and Kim's place? Why don't they leave the door locked?

There was the scene where Mike told Gus "all hands on deck" where the guys are. Maybe Mike thought Lalo was coming for Gus soon so He did pull guys off Jimmy/ Kim. I get what you are saying. But it was explained.
 
"all hands on deck"
He specifically mentioned he pulled off the "low priority". If indeed all hands were on the deck, his family would be left defenceless. It also doesnt make sense to dedicate a good 3 episodes to establish that mike watches them.

Let's assume that Jimmy locked the door after Howard unexpectedly visited them late at night (and to be fair, I just re-watched the scene and Jimmy does in fact walk back towards the door after Howard enters... He probably did lock it.)

Is it really that difficult to believe that Lalo knows how to pick a lock? To me, that seems like something that would totally be in his skill set, and I highly doubt he was basing the entirety of whatever his plan ends up being on whether or not Jimmy and Kim left their door unlocked.

Gus doesn't give a shit about Jimmy, and I doubt he even knows anything more about Kim than whatever Mike said about their conversation from a few episodes back. Of course they're both "low priority" to him.

Even if Mike thought that Jimmy and Kim were in danger (and based on what Lalo said to Hector, on that compromised line, there was no real reason to believe they were... Lalo was clearly trying to make it seem like he was planning an attack on Gus.) at the end of the day Mike still has to do whatever the boss wants.

The only thing I don't fully understand is how easy it was for Lalo to realize that the phoneline at the old folks home was compromised. He heard some clicks or something? That seems a little lazy to me.

Don't know much about tapping into phones, but I wouldn't put it past Lalo to know the signs of a tapped line. He's a cartel boss, after all. I'm sure he's familiar with tapped phonelines. Seeing Mike and his guys mobilize from the laundry place right after the second call practically confirmed his suspicions.

To be fair, I gave Lalo the same credit for picking locks. At very least, you don't *not* have a point.

>Hank dies with his dignity in tact at least

>Nacho dies a noble death to protect his father

>fucking Howard, the nicest guy on either show, gets blasted out of nowhere, betrayed by his best friends, humiliated professionally, cucked by wife, a man denied daily sex, dies in the worst way possible

Then there's also Walter White who died after a gruelingly long loss of everything he had ever cared for and loved.
But at least he died on top of the hill after killing a bunch of nazis.
