Better Call Saul

Had someone gunned down my family in cold blood, it would be mighty impressive for me to travel from the US dustbowl to Western Europe, make my way to Germany, find a dead man’s wife AND learn enough about her movements to conveniently appear in her watering hole of choice - in what appeared to be a very short time.

Are you high up in the cartels? Are you good looking, smart, with access to incredibly realistic fake papers and tons of cash? Have you tracked strangers before?

No? Then yeah, it'd probably be hard as fuck because you're a fucking nerd not a cartel member who has done that shit before.

Yeah it's true the show gives him plot armor and what seems like borderline super powers at time, but you're going the opposite direction with 'How the fuck did he manage to tie his shoes fucking BULLSHIT he should be shitting his pants like hector how is it possible he has a saving account?!' bullshit complaints. Recovering from the broken ribs and almost right away ending up in those sewers in such a short period of time, that's a valid complaint for example.

Give me a satchel with a million bucks in it and a well made fake ID and I'd figure out how to track down a highly regarded structural engineer, or hire someone to do it. He already knew the guy's name. A Kiwi could have figured out the rest. As for actually getting there, buy a plane ticket and go there.

Yeah you might be able to do that shit. You could find the wife. As far as convincing her to go back home to you? Maybe.

Breaking in and getting out without getting caught and finding the right thing at the right moment? Not unless you're a professional, and even then it depended on dumb luck.

And let's be honest, it's more likely the average kiwi pretty much everyone here would manage to trip on their shoelaces while shitting themselves as soon as they landed in Dusseldorf before they'd manage to sweet talk an old lonely German lady into walking her home.

But that would be the part that would be a snap for a Hispanic gentleman of well over average appearance and charm.

I just want to know how he got a pistol AND A SILENCER once he was in a foreign country. LOL and he apparently brought it back to Jimmy and Kims house.

There's this thing called Madrigal Electromotive. He probably could have picked up something from some contact they use, rather than spend screen time getting something that would be trivial for an international criminal.

Yeah, the thing about huge cartels worth billions of dollars is that they don't just chill in tijuana, they literally have tentacles and connections everywhere. Fucking Hezbollah works with the mexican cartels.

They have been on that shit for years now, and it's only getting worse

Funny thing about Germany, it's in mainland Europe operating under Schengen Laws. Once a pistol and silencer is smuggled into Bulgaria or some other Eastern shithole it's free to wend its merry way across many, many borders and no-one really gives a shit. You know the Cartel has black market contacts too.

Its just that the Germany trip really gives me season 8 Game of Thrones vibes. Where people just start warping everywhere with no explanation.

he's pretty obviously of half-italian descent and using pipes in the ground to warp to and from any place he likes. they'll reveal this in the second half of the season, but if you ask me, the overalls and the mustache are already enough of a tell to make that connection.

I dunno I think the show is totally ruined because we didn't have a five minute scene where he ate a Wienerschnitzel in an airport food court to establish that he didn't get where he was going by just flapping his arms.

Also that airport wouldn't be built yet because Vince does some historical research when it comes to background detail.

I'm not sure I can take your complaint about how this show is going down the shitter if it's not at least 5 paragraphs long, ngl.

I swear, if we don't have at least once scene where Lalo jumps on Tortuga and yells "Wahoo!" I'm going to be disappointed.
