Better Call Saul

Maybe I'm super-late and maybe I'm super-gay, but it's possible someone hasn't seen this hilarious "Walter White Did Absolutely Nothing Wrong" video.
It starts off somewhat subtly and takes a few minutes to ramp up into pure insanity.

I mean, to be fair, neither has Bryan Cranston's...

What has he been in? 20 minutes of Godzilla, fucking Sneaky Pete? Your Honor, which has no buzz whatsoever?

I mean he keeps himself busy with voice work and is coasting on IM WALTER WHITE GUYS but it's not exactly superstardom. That movie where he plays a cripple, or I don't know, is the cripple's helper or something and then people shat on them for their obvious Oscar bait?

Bob Odenkirk is the only one who seemed to have gotten any kind of recognition after BB, and that's mostly due to BCS and Nobody (which again all of you fuckers need to watch)

You fuckers forgot about Krysten Ritter and the 50+ capeshit movies they got her to act in

Am I the only one who felt that the whole "get the band back together and filming" scene had some very strong Edward Wright feel to it? Especially with the drums etc...

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.

I kind of agree, Howard committing suicide would have worked better for the overall plan of making him look like a lunatic while keeping Jimmy's hands clean. Now we're to assume Lalo makes them help clean up the scene, when he presumably wouldn't care? And if he doesn't, they have Howard murdered in Jimmy's apartment, which seems like it'd cause so many problems for Saul later that he wouldn't be able to operate.


On this note I also don't like how smooth the plan went, I predicted that'd hit huge snags, and though it did, none of them amounted to anything.

I did think that
Howard doesn't show up at Jimmy and Kim's place, but Lalo does snd kills Kim.
Once I heard the knock at the door.

Well then, I have to ask. What do you think the ending will be now?

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are the same story. Two people who come from backgrounds that drag them into the underworld. Jimmy comes from a scam artist background and enters the underworld through his legal profession but also through his scam artist back ground. Walt is a chemist and chemistry teacher who enters into the underworld through his chemistry background but also acts as a teacher the entire show. Walt shows Jesse how to cook, shows Jesse how to run his crew properly, even instructs random meth heads at the hardware store how to properly make meth. Walt likes teaching. He even still wanted to offer Todd the ability to cook his meth and learn his formula to try to infiltrate the Nazis. Walt was a chemist yes....but also a teacher which a lot of fans always forget.

Jimmy is the same. Jimmy is a lawyer and a con artist who likes to do both things. And both of them have their sidekicks whom they drag deep into the abyss with them. Walt had Jesse. Jimmy has Kim. Jesse's ending is that he destroys everyone around him. Jane. That spic girlfriend. Even his family. But in the end he is saved by Walt and given another chance at life. But has to go through some hardship first. But in the end Jesse gets a victory out of life in that he survives cartel life and lives in his dream life in Alaska. Walt has a similar positive ending. In that he kills his main rivals Gus and the Nazis. He terrorizes his hated college friends the Schwarz family. And he even gets them to launder his meth money to his children under the guise of it being his legit chemistry money. And Walt dies with likely weeks left in his life from cancer.
So now looking at Jimmy as Walt. And Jesse as Kim. You have your endings.

Jimmy will go into hiding as Gene. Kim will go into hiding as Giselle. While Kim is in hiding Jimmy will set up Ice Station Zebra and begin saving money for his eventual escape from ABQ and from the cartel to rejoin with Kim. This will retcon BB in that Jimmy all along was looking for his escape from ABQ and used Walt as his escape. I will almost guarantee that Saul will instruct someone, maybe Mike, to track down Heisenberg or Walt in BCS and it will be obvious as to why.

The vacuum man knows where Kim went. He will send Gene somewhere close as well. Most likely Jimmy is waiting for Kim to reach out to him so they can join together. This was not the ending in BB for Jimmy nor his original ending in BCS. In the first season of BCS they were going to eliminate Kim at the end of the season. But they changed the story to fit her in. Every single Kim moment from season two onward is a retcon of the original BCS outline that the writers first made. Which is why the first season of Gene doesn't really make sense with Kim being in his life. But afterwards from season two on they changed the ending of BCS to have Kim as a full character.

And this parallels Jesse who was also supposed to be written off in season one of BB but was kept on. So I am confident that Gene and Giselle are both alive in the last episode of BCS. They both know that each other are alive. And they will both unite. Likely with Gene turning himself in and offering witness protection or some small time in jail if he can get Kim free of any charges. Just like Walt saved Jesse. Jim will save Kim.

Watch slower. Stop skipping parts. Pay attention to parallels between Chuck and Howard, character semantics and foreshadowing. The show literally shows you.

Yeah I do not get why people think the plan was for howard to kill himself. As you said, it was like chuck. It was just to get them to have a major outburst that ended in them looking mentally insane despite being absolutely correct in everything they say. Both also end in unforseen consequences.

I know I am pointing it out, but I am getting annoyed with redditors screeching about how the plan was for howard to hang himself or some stupid shit.
