Better Call Saul

In the opening scene as the camera is panning through the brush, did anyone else notice a tiny human skull in it? It was on the left.

So Mike has seen Gus order the death of Verner despite him asking Gus not to do it. And now Nacho as well despite Mike being against it. Both whom Mike liked and tried to save are dead under Gus's orders. And Gus threatened the wife of Werner and Nacho's father almost outright. And Mike knows that Gus works with total psychos like the Salamancas openly. Including the Salamanca twins who pointed a gun at Kaylee. And he knows that Gus is a maniac who will kill children and make giant meth labs and poison the entire world with drugs. Yet in Breaking Bad still tells Walt "we had a good thing going". What?

Mike is ultra loyal to Gus in Breaking Bad. But in BCS we have seen Gus basically ignore his advice and just kill whoever he wants and does not really offer Mike much of anything except for money. And now we have seen him threaten Mike and have a gun held on him by Gus's bodyguard. Yet Mike responds by being even more loyal to Gus to all of this to the point where he literally cannot believe that Walt would even dream of killing Gus when it finally happens. Mike was literally shaking with rage when Gus died.

Yet Walt sees Gus kill children. And Gus threatens Walt and his family. So Walt eventually just conspires to have Gus's entire operation taken out as quickly as he can because he knows that Gus is loyal to no one but himself and cannot be trusted. So logically Walt protects himself and his family by killing Gus and wiping his operation out.

Mike's character is wildly inconsistent. Maybe they will put something in the next few episodes that shows why Mike is rabidly loyal to Gus.

Werner was "in the game", and fucked up after one explicit warning (presumably that warning in and of itself was an enormous favor to Mike to begin with). Tonight's body was also in the game. Nacho's dad is the one pure civilian so far, and much like the good samaritan that Hector killed, that's what gets him.

Gus is not in the power position here and I'm confident the remainder of the series will result in Mike saving Gus's entire plan, and being "allowed" to save who he intends to going forward as a result. I think the rest of the series is going to establish Mike setting himself as almost the equal of Gus, and being put on a pedestal his other henchmen, who have been involved with him far longer, don't get to.

I've also been under the theory Gus actually didn't order the two dealers to kill Tomas in BB, and likely did intend to have them killed in retaliation for it had Walt not, and that the reason Walt got into such deep shit for doing so was because he did it in public. He threatened Holly toward the end of BB because there was no other way to get Walt to cut the shit. I think he would kill children, but hadn't intentionally done/ordered so before then.

It's.... it's almost as if both Mike and Gus are actually monsters with no redeeming features and even though you like them as characters, much like Tony Soprano, they are fucking terrible pieces of shit.

And just like Sopranos all of them basically die. Everyone in that Nacho death scene dies in Breaking Bad. Gus and Tyrus die to Walt's bomb as does Hector. The Twins die to Hank (and Gus with an assist). Victor dies to Gus slitting his throat. Mike is shot to death by Walt. Bolsa is hit by a cartel team sent by Gus.

Gonna spoiler these, even though... Very little, if anything is actually spoiled. I do think that they're reading from the real scripts though since all but one of these are from episodes that already aired, and it was a funny gag. I still don't know why the fuck they're filming these things vertically.

hearing Mike say "do it" when Nacho had the gun out honestly made it seem like, in that moment, Mike would've backed Nacho up in the gunfight.

which is a pretty big deal considering who would've been in that gunfight, unless i misheard, the website I use has low as fuck audio.

TFW Mike would have an objectively happier ending overall if he killed everybody but Nacho in this encounter.

I'm probably wrong, but what if the guy who's following Kim and Jimmy is Kuby?
 
Im not the type of person that cries or gets emotional watching movies / series but man I feel so fucking bad now, I genuinely wasnt prepared for that. Great acting by MM especially where he tells Hector he switched the pills and is the reason he is in that wheelchair, I really wish he could have lived but I guess that thought was just too optimistic. Im assuming we're gonna have a lot more Lalo stuff since they killed Nacho off so early into the season
