winged it. rushed it. writing a complete story is harder than just adding plot elements that can't pay off or exist for shock value. even after season 5, there's so much they could have done to end well. once nacho died in episode 3, the quality decline was clear. nacho was a good character and should have gotten away alive
nacho should have had a showdown with lalo and been the one to kill him before escaping. the result is the same. the cartel still has to believe lalo died in the house fire because of dental records. nacho arc complete. lalo resolved.
>the cartel still has to believe lalo died in the house fire because of dental records
possible brainlet confession here but this is something that i must have missed. but how did gus pull this off? who did they burn in Lalo's place and how did the dental records match up?
The body in the fire is Lalo's double, which he had for some reason. He paid to for him to have identical teeth, and for some reason, Mexico uses dental records to ID bodies just like in the US of A.
holy frick i completely forgot about lalo visiting that guy, talking about dentistry, and then killing him off-screen. such is life when the show is bloated with an immense amount of irrelevant shit scenes.

That anon is right though it was rushed as frick. Dude turns himself in and dies like a rat without even trying.
Rebirth after the oil baptism, calling his dad, the blue rose was all kino but shoved into one episode like a fricking speeding train. While I have to sit through these dumbass Gus in a Tunnel scenes over and over. This show fell apart

this is contrived forced shit that would happen in late seasons of GoT because the writers wrote by the seat of their pants and made popular characters more important than they really were, kys
Normally a prequel knows what it’s doing and where it’s going but in this case they really have no idea
It’s not just season 6. Look at last season, one minute Kim is mad that Jimmy made a commercial despite her saying not to and the next she’s perfectly fine that he’s in with the fricking cartels
Isn't it just showing kims true colors coming out?
Also her true colors are that shes a massive c**t >say you want total transparency in marriage, lies about lalo >eggs jimmy on to do the panks on howard, jimmy many times voiced concerns and implied they were going too far, but kim insisted until the lalo incident >WE ARE BAED FOR EACH OTHER LOL XD >leaves him despite his only crimes being protective of his wife and letting her do her moronic revenge troll on howard
Jimmy was going to leave Kim in Something Unforgivable, she was the one to reel him back with the prank on Howard. Jimmy's moments of clarity always gets overshadowed by his love for Kim and his love for the con so they pushed each other for this eventual collapse.
I feel like they really fricked up. We are never getting a season of Saul at his best (worst), doing Saul shit. Instead we get 3-4 episodes of that, before it ends and is in the BB timeline. What the frick Vince? We wanted good shit not just BB prequel noise.
>Werner's sliderule trophy
yeah you know what i just remembered i'm still mad about that shit as well. vince and co. been wanking themselves a bit too much lately
There’s a reason I won’t touch this show and didn’t when it aired originally and everyone was banging on about how ‘subversive’ it was and broke the mould compared to BB.
Because you had to have known this was always going to degenerate into memberberries shit reminicising on BB plot threads and being too cute with its prequel setting, and it had no interest into telling a complete self contained story. The problem with a lot of shows is that they have no fricking idea when to just call it quits and end it.
nah not that anon but I didn't watch this shit either, like four or five eps of the first season, didn't suck me in, and I dropped it. I don't even remember what happened in those episodes, but I do remember thinking the show wasn't going to push its characters far enough. There was a distinct element of restraint, as if you could tell the writers weren't going to allow themselves to go as far as they could with narrative pressure. (Which was 90% of what made Breaking Bad the crackerjack thriller that it was.) I guess this was just a result of prequelitis, but it is entertaining to me to come back at the finale and see that my initial impression was correct.
I love watching TV shows go down in flames, it's like a sport at this point. The fanbase always splits at the end, even with the most beloved endings, and especially with the shitty ones.
lol no-one is going to give a shit about this show a year from now. gonna be forgotten faster than game of thrones. the people defending it have already lost, they just haven’t realised it. let them emotionally flail around.

It's fun, it's entertainment, and you're losing by taking it seriously. So long as some people are seething, and some other people are coping, it's a helluva good time.
you're here, actively participating discussions at a time which very likely means you've been following the show
To watch an episode means being entertained for an hour a week. You're in the thread and have stuck around for at least 20 minutes now, I imagine this isn't the first time and would have no doubt that the equivalent time of you discussing what you haven't watched could have been spent viewing the actual fricking show.
I mean it was pretty stupid to make a prequel show because we know everyone who survives and what will happen. The last season was always going to be as expected.
I agree, or at least a prequel show set in the Breaking Bad universe. One of the major appeals of BB was the constantly escalating cliffhangers, with ever more at stake in each episode. This formula worked in the early seasons of BCS when we knew nothing about Jimmy's backstory. But once Chuck had died and Jimmy had "become Saul," the show lost all momentum. The Ziegler storyline in Season 4 was interesting, but that was also when the show started to be more about boring cartel shit than the actual protagonist.
Spot on. S4 was still kino but after Winner is when they started to delve heavily into BB-esque cartel shit (which was inevitable for a prequel show) and the show turned into mediocre to unwatchable. Every ‘tense’ scene this season has been a failure because of it. Really the only thing that could’ve made every season kino instead would be to write it in a different universe, but Vince is to obsessed with plot and continuity for that
The only last true tense moment the show had was when Lalo visited Saul and Kim the first time and it worked because Kim is not in BB and everyone is on the edge of their seats thinking Lalo would kill her there. Then nothing happen
leaks stated that the last 2 episodes of the show will be exclusively gene episodes and will wrap up sauls story entirely after breaking bad, meaning 10 and 11 will pretty much just be glorified breaking bad episodes at this point which is a treat
Kim is arguably worse than Jimmy.
Jimmy used slipping moves to stand a chance against bigots like Chuck.
Kim was absolutely golden and was slippin just to have fun.
So let me get this straight. >Hogward is killed in front of Saul >His wife, his motivation leaves him >In this same episode Saul is STILL at least 75% Jimmy >THE FRICKING SHOW IS CALLED BETTER CALL SAUL
And still, STILL we don't get to see Jimmy's emotional downspiral, not even him at his lowest, NOT EVEN A FRICKING CRISIS.
I mean no one ask for a montage but a full episode could have done the job, the flashfoward is as cheap and easy as a montage in a sceneario like this... Man I was never dissapointed of this show, not even once, cause I KNEW that the transition at the end was going to be short but smooth, well I guess I didn't KNEW SHIT.
wtf? they compeltey skipped sauls transition into saul from breaking bad. wtf?
kim leaves him and then suddenly... > LE SLEEZY LOYWER
i thought the show was about his transformation, this would be like if breaking bad started at walt killing krazy 8 and then time skipped to season 5.
>at least 75% Jimmy
I don't know how you figure this.
The show has gone at length now to fill in the blanks for every little detail he builds into his Saul persona. >Kim and his friend from back home mention the white caddy >He sees the statue of liberty float at the Kettleman's new haunt >He starts dressing quirky at Cliff and Maine >Saul Goodman started as a TV persona for selling ad space >His wife leaving him and crushing his heart turns him toward hookers >Vet guy has the book of connections and is retiring, Jimmy is interested
I think even the mansion he lives at now might be the same house or similar to the one he and Kim took a tour of and played around in the shower of?
The point is, all it took was the catalyst of Kim leaving to launch him down that path. And that's exactly what happened.
This episode was so fricking boring, the rest of the season hasn't been great either.
What is the point of Gus in the bar, couldn't we devote more time to Kim if this was her last episode?
If Kim dies Saul doesn’t exist. They wrote themselves into a corner, so instead they just made her leave with both of them accepting it. Only the terms jimmy accepts it are contrived and moronic >MIKE, who literally walked through death with Jimmy and drank their own piss together, doesn’t trust Jimmy with the news of lalo coming back and instead tells Kim (because she had le girlboss moment?) >Kim is now a sociopath and wants to ruin howards life for no reason even knowing lalo is out there, Jimmy goes along with it because…because he’s jealous of his respect from chuck (wow bravo Vince you finally mentioned the best character of the show after 2 seasons of cartel Hispanic garbage)
The show started to go the shit when they started to actually piece it together to BB. It was inevitable but the show was kino when it was a Saul spinoff featuring him, Kim, and chuck with Mike on the side. Now it’s a full blown BB prequel with homosexual gus getting more scenes than the titular character
pointless show. Hated how they started dragging things out as soon as they got the go-ahead for a load of seasons. The fact they're now playing catch-up with themselves is karma
they just didn't pace it properly. S1 was going at a good tick, but as soon as they got the security of multiple extra seasons they pumped the brakes and slow-walked his progression
they just didn't pace it properly. S1 was going at a good tick, but as soon as they got the security of multiple extra seasons they pumped the brakes and slow-walked his progression
The time skip rendered the entirety of the show pointless. They might as well have started the show with the scene of Saul waking up next to the hookers and then given us 3 seasons of Saul kino and 3 seasons of Gene Kino. Now we get 3 episodes of Saul and 1 of Gene if we're lucky, but most likely we get 3 episodes of Mike and Gus getting the lab ready and then 1 episode of Saul and Gene.
Fricking hacks.
What you have to understand, is that Jimmy was always rotten. Saul was the persona Jimmy developed because he only ever felt comfortable being the bad guy. The timeskip works because Kim was the only thing that brought the humanity out of Jimmy. After being a disappointment to Cliff, humiliating Chuck and driving Chuck towards insanity, being vilified by Schweikart, Mesa Verde, and everyone at the courthouse, Kim was the only thing he had left. Being haunted by Chuck's and Howard's deaths, losing Kim was the last thing that broke Jimmy. Him completely embracing the sleazy, mischievous, criminal lawyer side of Saul Goodman is Jimmy having to cope with how fricked up his life had become.
The real problem of the show is how much time is wasted on cartel exposition and all the screen time with Gus. There's no emotional investment when you already have an idea of how things are going to turn out.
Except criticisms weren't so out there an episode or two ago. You have people coming out of the woodwork now and being like >DUDE THE SHOW'S ACTUALLY BEEN BAD SINCE SEASON (X)
A major story arc across several seasons just concluded. If you're surprised that people decided now is the time to express their opinion about it, you might have issues.
In one of the previous threads i said that i have a hunch BCS will be hit by modern moronness of hating every finale no matter what. If you want to hate something, you will always find "reasons". They are preparing for the finale.
Maybe people who watched since it came out are more critical. 8 years is a long time to invest in a show. The people who binged up until now are probably like "meh its fine why you complaining sheesh"
it's probably worth pointing out that this is pretty much the only place on the internet that people are shitting on it, on average BCS' reception has never been better than season 6 no matter what metric you're looking at. even the average viewership has been going up despite what that one incomplete chart comparing it to BB would have you believe.
TV shows tend to blunder the last season because wrapping up everything gracefully is hard. It shouldn't come as any surprise people don't like this season because it truly is not good.
>shit pacing >shit writing >rushing to end everything while leaving in long drawn-out 20 minute scenes to show gus acting like a supervillain, drinking wine, and doing other shit no one cares about >grr this must be discords fault!
>What's with the amount of people shitting on the show all of the sudden?
BCS S6 is the ending to a beloved show - so ofc 4gag has to pretend it's a total shitfrick disaster regardless of the actual content.
Same loser mentality that infests all of this godawful psyop website. NEETs and incels are desperate to find something to be negative about.
I've been enjoying it as much as [or even a little more than] S3, which I previously considered to be 'peak' BCS.
It was him feeling like he was finally ready to move on from Max's death, now that he felt secure in his position in the cartel and could operate in perpetuity and with impunity under Eladio's wing for the rest of his life, and get to lord it over Hector to boot. going to ask that guy to come back to his place, crack open the wine, and have gay sex. But when he swirled the red wine he was reminded of Max's blood in the pool, and realized he's never ever going to move on from that until he gets revenge on everybody responsible. That scene was Gus deciding once and for all to become the Gus we see in BB.
You clearly weren't watching BB episode by episode when it came out. There was a strong consensus from fans behind the theory that Gus was actually gay and Max was his lover from pretty early on. The 'family' was never seen. IMHO they've done a great job in BCS gradually showing this to indded be the case without being overly in your face about it or making it a major part of his character.
Yeah, It was a little bit of filler. But I like the interpretation that for a second he went almost a full day without thinking about Max. He felt confortable with the wine dude and he could see himself moving on. But that would be a distraction. Whats the point of his revenge and all the effort It took, if he can forget and move on with another lover?
Writers railroaded themselves by deciding to include too many characters from BB, resulting in a script riddled with contrivances and out of character behaviour just to ensure everything stays consistent with BB.
Prequels are trash.
The biggest flaw with the show was the branding early on.
The show was marketed to be a lawyer drama about Jimmy Mcgill "becoming" Saul Goodman but really, it was more broadly just a prequel to Breaking Bad. I remember being annoyed when they would spend so much time focusing on sideplots for Mike and then especially Gus, Nacho etc.
Anything not focused on Jimmy was always going to come across as filler for as long as it had nothing to do with the central plot.
I actually enjoyed the show a lot more on second rewatch because I longer had those preconceptions and could enjoy watching Mike do menial housework for 60% of an episode without being annoyed about what the show should be focusing on.
they concluded every main character's arcs tastefully. They could have got away with omitting Gus and Mike's scenes and having their story end in the previous episode but Jimmy and Kim's scenes would have been much worse if it had just been an hour of moping and grimdark scenes.
They allowed themselves to create a compelling, believable story of two brothers and took 3 whole seasons to tell it just so they can frick it all up with the cartel subplot. Everything after Chuck's death just kept getting worse, more illogical, increasingly rushed and half-assed. With season 6 they're trying to cram more stories, subplots and conclusions than in seasons 4 to 5 while also being restricted by the fact that BCS is a prequel so most of the characters we don't see in BrBa had to be killed off with giving them any sort of conclusion or development.
This. I knew it would be an issue the moment they announced a prequel. It's a miracle we got so much kino from a show that was basically spoiled from the start and was doomed to unceremoniously tie ends with any character we don't see in Breaking Bad. But still, holy shit the writing is just bad in s6.
I dont know since I stopped watching pretty early on. Jimmy is a neat character and all the lawyer stuff was kinda entertaining, but I never cared about Mike, Gus or any of the other shit.
The show would have been better if they just focused on Saul. like one would expect from the title.
>but I never cared about Mike, Gus or any of the other shit
boy, then you would sure hate the later seasons. the fricking titular character takes a total backseat and becomes Gus and Mike’s show
>Saul Goodman is that you? >It's been a while, nice vanity plate. You know I was thinking of getting one of those reminds me of Howa... >Stay off the drugs Saul, my son tell me there is a new product going around. >Blue meth! Can you believe it? Someone must be Breaking Bad™. >Anyways take care.
I legit still can’t believe that the character development of jimmy becoming the saul from breaking bad was done off screen. I come onto Cinemaphile and I am shocked that people are actually defending this. The Marvel, Star Wars and capeshit crap has really rotten peoples brains.
>loved this show up until this season. they fricked it
it's still better than every other shit available today but the drop in writing quality is just undeniable
>it's still better than every other shit available today
most hbo shows take a huge dump on BCS, peaky blinders is better, stranger things is better, even shitty disney crap like ms marvel is better
People actually have the audacity to claim that the character development has happened. The frick it has. Nowhere in the BCS series has Jimmy/Saul become the slick lawyer he was in Breaking Bad. He has not pulled off a legal suplex like he did when got Jesse’s house from his parents. His run in with the DEA was weak in BCS, whereas his defence of Badger was strong and competent. Jimmy/Saul in BCS is simply not the same character in BB prior to the time skip.
>Jimmy/Saul in BCS is simply not the same character in BB prior to the time skip.
Yes, because they are not the same character you fricking idiot. Saul in BB wasnt meant to have a backstory. It was just a sleazy lawyer that serves the purpose the show needed. At least they gave you a very good reason into how and why Jimmy became Saul
The reason is because Breaking Bad is extremely poorly written. Saul in Breaking BAd is poorly written terrible character just like every single one. Mike in Breaking Bad is also terribly written. BCS just fixing this marvel tier overrated schlock which was breaking bad. Breaking Bad is easily the most overrated piece of shit that was ever made, and Better Call Saul was improved thanks to Gould.
Because you are fricking speedwatchers, foaming and pants-shitting because you didn't get 2 montages of Jimmy doing shit we already saw in the S6 opener. Two montages in a single episode. And some other moron talking about "offscreen character development" when that Saul was all over Season 5, most notably in "Wexler v. Goodman". Might as well just call you speedwatching redditors and call it a day.
>criticizes time wasting, entirely unnecessary scenes like Lalo shower at a truck stop, sleep in a car, and eat peanuts in the sewer >”what do you mean you want scenes or character development, you dumb speedwatcher?”
>Gave Lalo characteristics that makes him distinct. As they did with Howard, Chuck, Kim, etc. >redditor so obsessed with "MUH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" that those scenes are considered as filler because they can't watch a show when the protag doesn't eat up 95% of every scene.
This is what a diet of capeshit does to a man. Why bother watching if you weren't the intended audience from the jump?
Lalo’s routine told me absolutely nothing about his character that I didn’t already know. he’s a patient, methodical tactician; I fricking get it. the problem is that the show wastes time on scenes like that, then rushes through vital character and narrative moments because they have to wrap the show up this season. they could’ve easily cut out pointless trite like the self-indulgent cold opens so that they could expand and elaborate on the necessary scenes which they’re just blowing right through. you have no comprehension for what makes for good writing, so shut the frick up, and don’t respond again.

I can't believe how much it gets overlooked that he intentionally 'pops up' to make it more shocking and unpredictable.
You've just proved my point in that you've successfully filled in the blanks yourself, and therefore a scene which would have removed the tension of 'where is he?' And also the unsettling twist of suddenly seeing him in Germany is not necessary.
It was good story telling.

So we've entered pretending to be moronic territory here. But you can watch the shower scene again on youtube. It's 2 minutes of which the actual shower is about 10 seconds long. At the end he sets his alarm for one hour and then wakes up an instant before it goes off.
The scene shows how robotic and precise he is behind the charming facade. Much like Gus.

Yeah, its not like they make the time jump in the very scene where you would logically understand why his character turns from scammy lawyer to sleazy lawyer.
What we really needed was a scene where we see how Saul gets his inflatable.
You talk about capeshit and star wars, but you are the type of person disney caters to by putting scenes like obiwan giving the spaceship toy to Luke cause "we need to see how luke gets his toy. How are we going to explain why he has It in a new hope?"
There was nothing else to show in a way that wouldn't seem redundant, irrelevant or fan-servicey. We know all the major events that lead to his full ''transformation'' into Saul Goodman. You brainlets wanted a montage of him buying tacky suits and going through wacky scammy lawyer adventures? kek
i mean, thats also pretty fun because i know how much salt and mental gymnastics will happen over that not being the longest waste of time on planet earth, lol.
Yes, they should just cater to the lowest common denominator and, ignoring all the tension and drama that has been building up in the final season, focus on making the main character a parody of itself to entertain midwits with >le funny scummy lawyer
Even though that would add nothing of value at this point.
>did you know in better call saul >they have showers >and wine
hes right. if you had seen lalo, clean, in the next scene, it wouldnt make sense. how did he get clean? where did he get clean? could they of shown this by him being generally always clean and caring about his appearance? and dont even get me started on the wine

i stopped watching after season 1 and i realized they were going to drag it out at least as long as breaking bad but had no idea it would turn out this terrible. lmaoing at everyone who got suckered into watching this trash for 6 seasons
Its a decent show, it hat some iconic and great moments, but lets be honest,if BB didnt exist alot of ppl wouldnt bother watching it and alot of the high praising comes because BB was so damn good.
Its dragged out too long, we also already know about like half the characters endings. I just hope thats gonna be it for the BB universe after this and Vince makes something completely new.
Oh and what i also really appreciate is that theres basically no forced diversity which is pretty rare in modern tv.
If Vince Giligan and Peter Gould wrote a Spider-Man film >40 minutes of Uncle Ben doing mundane shit >Peter Parker gets bullied at school >*time skip* >Peter Parker is fighting criminals as Spider-Man
Saul in Breaking Bad is just after-thought and plot device, nothing more. He isnt real character. The problem with Breaking Bad is that most characters are like this. When i was 17 yrs old i alsa thought that BB is the best shows ever made, sadly its plot-driven garbage who dont respect their characters.
>lets have a scene where a man tells a story about travelling to gus, for absolutely no reason at all
The point of the scene is that it shows how Gus got the idea to poison Don Eladio.
Looks like all these plebs filltered with character driven show absolutely pathetic. And Better Call Saul is nowhere near the top tier character-driven series that are there, but compared to plot driven garbage like Breaking Bad its pearl on television right now, BCS is easily the best show that is still on going and its absolutely sad what a pathetic sate of television we have right now.

You are not as smart as you think you are. Read a book instead
The only real thing we needed to see is him getting his office at the strip mall. The rest is lore autism that they thankfully only briefly introduced then moved past it. That's wiki shit for theorists
lol no-one is going to give a shit about this show a year from now. gonna be forgotten faster than game of thrones. the people defending it have already lost, they just haven’t realised it. let them emotionally flail around.
HEY HECTOR posting is still the funniest part of the whole show to me >THATS RIGHT YOU UNBELIVABLE SACK OF FLAMING DOG SHIT, ITS ME, NACHO VARGA, LAST NAME V A R G A, WHO CRIPPLED YOU PERMANENTLY FORVER SO YOULL HAVE TO SHIT IN A BAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR SKATEBOARD SHIT LIFE I REPLACED THE HEART PILLS WITH COSTCO BRAND 50 MG, 300 DOUBLE PACKS (8.95 with a membership, in the pharmacy section).

Frick this wiener sucking show, they want to be all cool and release it once a week instead of just putting the whole season on Netflix, jesus christ these boomers and their TV, I just wanna be able to binge watch this shit in a day or two.
How come I'm still able to watch all the episodes for free with no ads on the amc website? I signed up for the free trial for first half of the season then cancelled it. Should have been done by now.
don't know... i still regularly rewatch the first 3 seasons
kim breaking bad was such an interesting direction but it just never actually really made sense for me, her heel turn
but i went with it because it's cool seeing her ruthless
but then she's suddenly aghast with herself AFTER coming up with that unnecessary lie about seeing howard snort and i still just don't really get her
that scene with gus at the bar was the first time i started skipping ahead a little, though i liked gus's unusually soft/charming expressions
lalo revenge not as captivating as i wish it was
this season was cursed when they decided not to start it with a gene scene
Half the show has been filler pandering to BrBa fans who thought the show was too boring when it focused on Jimmy and wanted more epic gang shootouts, so now they have to dedicate half of the final season to killing off the remaining plots and characters they've introduced that can't exist during Breaking Bad.
Its getting a little rushed and unfocused. I don't think its gone bad but we got one episode to wrap up Lalo's story and we got one episode to deal with the aftermath which ended with Kim leaving in a way that felt abrupt, it made sense but it was abrupt which was perhaps the point.
Compared to the really slow build up we've gotten in past seasons the shift in pacing makes the show feel very different. Still enjoying it, still want to see what happens with Gene's Cinnabon franchise, but it does feel like a rush to the finish line for the last season.
>where is the character developement >FRICK OFF SPEEWATCHING CAPESHITTING REDDITOR!!1 LE FILTERED xD
It's time to admit BcS is for the mentally handicapped, who like capeshit-like cartelshit. And the worst of it, those morons think that they are intellectually superior because only they "get it".
Better Call Saul is the Rick and Morty of live action tv.
The Saul plotline is nothing without Chuck. Winner was the last good episode, without him Saul has no real antagonist. The Cartel plotline sucks because nothing interesting happens. "OHHH LALO IS GONNA TATTLETALE ON GUS!!" Who cares? They didn't introduce enough new characters, it's obvious everybody was gonna live except for Lalo.
i liked it where pseudo intellectuals here acted like they were "smart" because in this bullshit show never actually happened and it cause was slow as frick

It's always been boring drudgery. Only pretentious plebbitors stuck with it after season 1.

If you can't even comprehend others liking the show that makes you the biggest moron of all
You don't get the show because you are a moronic redneck bumpkin from fly over country. People who have an attention span of more than 12 seconds enjoy the show.
>You don't get the show because you are a moronic redneck bumpkin from fly over country. People who have an attention span of more than 12 seconds enjoy the show.
Proves my point. People dont enjoy the show, they enjoy pretending to enjoy the show online because they think it makes them appear smart
>you dont enjoy watching the paint dry on the wall? You dumb redneck frick, cant you appreciate the brilliant subtlety in the order of which the paint speckles go from wet fresh paintdrops to dry? Bravo vince
you don't know shit
That's a dumb argument. You are not talking about the show anymore. You are against the fanbase and how insecure about your own intelligence they make you feel.
Anyone who dislikes it just isn’t intelligent enough to understand or appreciate it. Checkmate, israelite.

There are no steaks because we know the fates of 99% of the characters. The show became too much of a Gus prequel
>There are no steaks
Fricking vegans
It did go from the most hyped to I haven't even seen last week's episode
chuck died, anything that happens after doesn't matter
It started off shitty (that Nacho death was pure Lol worthy), but the last 2 episodes have been some of the best of the series.
The Jeff recast might throw it off tho, cause we're hurling towards that timeline now.
>I pointed my screen and basedjaked when the time skip happened!!! THIS is the moment when Jimmy became Saul!!!!
>Truly one of the moments of the series, bra vo vince!!!!
Lalo got introduced, lasted two extremely kino episodes before becoming cringe breaking pleb shit
Lalo died and literally INSTANTLY the very next episode it reascended to godkino status
winged it. rushed it. writing a complete story is harder than just adding plot elements that can't pay off or exist for shock value. even after season 5, there's so much they could have done to end well. once nacho died in episode 3, the quality decline was clear. nacho was a good character and should have gotten away alive
cont.
nacho should have had a showdown with lalo and been the one to kill him before escaping. the result is the same. the cartel still has to believe lalo died in the house fire because of dental records. nacho arc complete. lalo resolved.
>the cartel still has to believe lalo died in the house fire because of dental records
possible brainlet confession here but this is something that i must have missed. but how did gus pull this off? who did they burn in Lalo's place and how did the dental records match up?
Lalo retrieves his body double in ep1 and even mentions the dental records. Fakes his own death to come at Gus with the element of surprise
holy frick i completely forgot about lalo visiting that guy, talking about dentistry, and then killing him off-screen. such is life when the show is bloated with an immense amount of irrelevant shit scenes.
hey.. take some responsibility
i barely pay attention myself and i still could easily piece it together with lalo's earlier death-faking
The body in the fire is Lalo's double, which he had for some reason. He paid to for him to have identical teeth, and for some reason, Mexico uses dental records to ID bodies just like in the US of A.
Using dental records is a common thing worldwide, anon
It's not a common thing at all. Maybe in anglo countries, definitely not the world.
The frick? You think people in mexico live in mud huts and scream in fear everytime they see a plane fly by? I think Latin America is well develop enough to have dental records for identifying bodies
>AY YAI YAI BROS, UN AVION VOLO SOBRE MI CASA
No, the entire point of Nacho's arc was that the game would finally caught up to him.
fine. could have done it better in the way i describe. not 3 episodes in. shooting himself no less
That anon is right though it was rushed as frick. Dude turns himself in and dies like a rat without even trying.
Rebirth after the oil baptism, calling his dad, the blue rose was all kino but shoved into one episode like a fricking speeding train. While I have to sit through these dumbass Gus in a Tunnel scenes over and over. This show fell apart
It could've caught up with him in a less moronic way. Nacho kills Lalo, then Gus kills him off to tie loose ends. it would've been more fitting.
> No, the entire point of Nacho's arc was that the game would finally caught up to him.
I guess he didn't have enough salsa.
this is contrived forced shit that would happen in late seasons of GoT because the writers wrote by the seat of their pants and made popular characters more important than they really were, kys
>contrived forced shit
You mean s6 isn't? kys
pleb filtered, go watch breaking shit u fricking redditor.
after 6 seasons we finally get saul!
Normally a prequel knows what it’s doing and where it’s going but in this case they really have no idea
It’s not just season 6. Look at last season, one minute Kim is mad that Jimmy made a commercial despite her saying not to and the next she’s perfectly fine that he’s in with the fricking cartels
No consistency, no direction.
Isn't it just showing kims true colors coming out?
Also her true colors are that shes a massive c**t
>say you want total transparency in marriage, lies about lalo
>eggs jimmy on to do the panks on howard, jimmy many times voiced concerns and implied they were going too far, but kim insisted until the lalo incident
>WE ARE BAED FOR EACH OTHER LOL XD
>leaves him despite his only crimes being protective of his wife and letting her do her moronic revenge troll on howard
Jimmy was going to leave Kim in Something Unforgivable, she was the one to reel him back with the prank on Howard. Jimmy's moments of clarity always gets overshadowed by his love for Kim and his love for the con so they pushed each other for this eventual collapse.
I feel like they really fricked up. We are never getting a season of Saul at his best (worst), doing Saul shit. Instead we get 3-4 episodes of that, before it ends and is in the BB timeline. What the frick Vince? We wanted good shit not just BB prequel noise.
I remember all those "it's even better than Breaking Bad" threads and articles at the time.
Now of course it's become "they are both bad".
Simple really
Chuck/Jimmy/Howard/Kim/law stuff > early BB >> ending BB > ending BCS
>kim leaves
bit underwhelming really
This. I kept thinking the reason she leaves would be a very pivotal moment instead it was just a small moment with a time gap.
whole fricking season was underwhelming, not even tony dalton could save it
No hype whatsoever
Didn't even know the new season came out if it wasn't bc of you
it really shows how much they had to rush to reach a conclusion, especially in this fricking season
It's okay though, we got to see 40 minute montages of people cooking food & washing windows.
Pseuds love that time wasting shit. Werner's sliderule trophy was probably the peak, worst cold open in any show I've ever seen in my life.
>Werner's sliderule trophy
yeah you know what i just remembered i'm still mad about that shit as well. vince and co. been wanking themselves a bit too much lately
There’s a reason I won’t touch this show and didn’t when it aired originally and everyone was banging on about how ‘subversive’ it was and broke the mould compared to BB.
Because you had to have known this was always going to degenerate into memberberries shit reminicising on BB plot threads and being too cute with its prequel setting, and it had no interest into telling a complete self contained story. The problem with a lot of shows is that they have no fricking idea when to just call it quits and end it.
>brags about not seeing a show
>turns up within a day of the 6th season ending to give his opinion about what he hasn't seen
And yet he is right and you aren't. Funny. You're the Black personpotamus
>didnt watch it
>still wants to give his opinion
kys
Lmao least i didn't waste my time with 6 seasons of boring shit.
I watched a few eps of season 1 after it was out for a year at least, boring and knew it was going down that route.
yet you're wasting your time in discussions about the show. You paid your dues one way or another.
nah not that anon but I didn't watch this shit either, like four or five eps of the first season, didn't suck me in, and I dropped it. I don't even remember what happened in those episodes, but I do remember thinking the show wasn't going to push its characters far enough. There was a distinct element of restraint, as if you could tell the writers weren't going to allow themselves to go as far as they could with narrative pressure. (Which was 90% of what made Breaking Bad the crackerjack thriller that it was.) I guess this was just a result of prequelitis, but it is entertaining to me to come back at the finale and see that my initial impression was correct.
I love watching TV shows go down in flames, it's like a sport at this point. The fanbase always splits at the end, even with the most beloved endings, and especially with the shitty ones.
>Liking or not liking a show or movie is like sports and there’s a true winner or loser

It's fun, it's entertainment, and you're losing by taking it seriously. So long as some people are seething, and some other people are coping, it's a helluva good time.
you're here, actively participating discussions at a time which very likely means you've been following the show
To watch an episode means being entertained for an hour a week. You're in the thread and have stuck around for at least 20 minutes now, I imagine this isn't the first time and would have no doubt that the equivalent time of you discussing what you haven't watched could have been spent viewing the actual fricking show.
>mould
It's spelled Gould
you're an idiot and as disappointing as the 2nd half of the series is turning out, they did something magical with this show for a while
The show died with Chuck
frick and suck
I mean it was pretty stupid to make a prequel show because we know everyone who survives and what will happen. The last season was always going to be as expected.
It's only dumb if you heavily involve the cartel storyline, which of course the writers did.
I agree, or at least a prequel show set in the Breaking Bad universe. One of the major appeals of BB was the constantly escalating cliffhangers, with ever more at stake in each episode. This formula worked in the early seasons of BCS when we knew nothing about Jimmy's backstory. But once Chuck had died and Jimmy had "become Saul," the show lost all momentum. The Ziegler storyline in Season 4 was interesting, but that was also when the show started to be more about boring cartel shit than the actual protagonist.
They could have just not written it so that 90% of scenes involve people you know 100% are going to make it through to the end of the episode alive
Spot on. S4 was still kino but after Winner is when they started to delve heavily into BB-esque cartel shit (which was inevitable for a prequel show) and the show turned into mediocre to unwatchable. Every ‘tense’ scene this season has been a failure because of it. Really the only thing that could’ve made every season kino instead would be to write it in a different universe, but Vince is to obsessed with plot and continuity for that
The only last true tense moment the show had was when Lalo visited Saul and Kim the first time and it worked because Kim is not in BB and everyone is on the edge of their seats thinking Lalo would kill her there. Then nothing happen
maybe prequels are just a bad idea
It filtered people like you
The show hasn't been a filter since Chuck got sneeded.
Wait until Gus is killed in the last episode and Vince announces BB multiverse.
There are morons here who believe this actually.
It died with chuck. Anyone who doesn’t agree at this point is low iq or a spic
>Kim leaves unceremoniously because it's convenient to write her off without effort
Brabo Bince
She'll be back
I think Gene will reunite with her. And then Metal Lalo jumps out of the ceiling and kills both, cue ending credits
How should they have done it then?
>four more episodes
>now in BB timeline
Were are going to gene timeline now right?
Read your vomit before you post it, you dirty moron.
leaks stated that the last 2 episodes of the show will be exclusively gene episodes and will wrap up sauls story entirely after breaking bad, meaning 10 and 11 will pretty much just be glorified breaking bad episodes at this point which is a treat
Howiebros...
it's over...
addiction is a very serious thing
>becomes saul off screen
lmao pretty ballsy move to completely dunk on the audience
Did you miss the previous 5 seasons?
homie he was more like Saul in the first season than in Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6A
Did YOU even watch the show?
>Jimmy's sociopathic dismissal at Howards death which he indirectly caused
Fricker deserved getting seperated from Kim
Kim is arguably worse than Jimmy.
Jimmy used slipping moves to stand a chance against bigots like Chuck.
Kim was absolutely golden and was slippin just to have fun.
I knew they wouldnt have the balls to kill Kim
It would be bad writing to kill off Kim before Jimmy goes full Saul. Of course they didn't.
>THE SHOW IS BAD BECAUSE... I CAN'T GET SEX
There saved you the trouble. You can skip this thread
lol for howard's funeral/memorial, did they actually use the actor's irl vacation photos?
Its proof no show should ever go longer than 5 seasons
>move at a snail's pace for 5 and a half seasons
>suddenly start rushing everything
Bravo, Vince!
>Skips the entire part where he really becomes Saul
Actors are about to die. Bob just had a heart attack couple of months ago and I'm not even talking about Jonathan Banks
Not my call
So let me get this straight.
>Hogward is killed in front of Saul
>His wife, his motivation leaves him
>In this same episode Saul is STILL at least 75% Jimmy
>THE FRICKING SHOW IS CALLED BETTER CALL SAUL
And still, STILL we don't get to see Jimmy's emotional downspiral, not even him at his lowest, NOT EVEN A FRICKING CRISIS.
I mean no one ask for a montage but a full episode could have done the job, the flashfoward is as cheap and easy as a montage in a sceneario like this... Man I was never dissapointed of this show, not even once, cause I KNEW that the transition at the end was going to be short but smooth, well I guess I didn't KNEW SHIT.
wtf? they compeltey skipped sauls transition into saul from breaking bad. wtf?
kim leaves him and then suddenly...
> LE SLEEZY LOYWER
i thought the show was about his transformation, this would be like if breaking bad started at walt killing krazy 8 and then time skipped to season 5.
>at least 75% Jimmy
I don't know how you figure this.
The show has gone at length now to fill in the blanks for every little detail he builds into his Saul persona.
>Kim and his friend from back home mention the white caddy
>He sees the statue of liberty float at the Kettleman's new haunt
>He starts dressing quirky at Cliff and Maine
>Saul Goodman started as a TV persona for selling ad space
>His wife leaving him and crushing his heart turns him toward hookers
>Vet guy has the book of connections and is retiring, Jimmy is interested
I think even the mansion he lives at now might be the same house or similar to the one he and Kim took a tour of and played around in the shower of?
The point is, all it took was the catalyst of Kim leaving to launch him down that path. And that's exactly what happened.
They said that originally they planned to use that house but they were limited in the shots they could pull of there.
This episode was so fricking boring, the rest of the season hasn't been great either.
What is the point of Gus in the bar, couldn't we devote more time to Kim if this was her last episode?
>couldn't we devote more time to Kim if this was her last episode?
They could if it WAS her last episode.
It wont be.
Kim should have been killed
If Kim dies Saul doesn’t exist. They wrote themselves into a corner, so instead they just made her leave with both of them accepting it. Only the terms jimmy accepts it are contrived and moronic
>MIKE, who literally walked through death with Jimmy and drank their own piss together, doesn’t trust Jimmy with the news of lalo coming back and instead tells Kim (because she had le girlboss moment?)
>Kim is now a sociopath and wants to ruin howards life for no reason even knowing lalo is out there, Jimmy goes along with it because…because he’s jealous of his respect from chuck (wow bravo Vince you finally mentioned the best character of the show after 2 seasons of cartel Hispanic garbage)
The show started to go the shit when they started to actually piece it together to BB. It was inevitable but the show was kino when it was a Saul spinoff featuring him, Kim, and chuck with Mike on the side. Now it’s a full blown BB prequel with homosexual gus getting more scenes than the titular character
>we need to rename HHM because it wasn't mentioned in Breaking Bad
Why is this show obsessed with purging everything that wasn't in Breaking Bad?
it was never good to begin with
Gus will be back
Kim will be back
Chuck will be (flash)back
Mark my words, bros.
pointless show. Hated how they started dragging things out as soon as they got the go-ahead for a load of seasons. The fact they're now playing catch-up with themselves is karma
>I know who you are, you're time skipping Jimmy! People don't change on camera!
they just didn't pace it properly. S1 was going at a good tick, but as soon as they got the security of multiple extra seasons they pumped the brakes and slow-walked his progression
The time skip rendered the entirety of the show pointless. They might as well have started the show with the scene of Saul waking up next to the hookers and then given us 3 seasons of Saul kino and 3 seasons of Gene Kino. Now we get 3 episodes of Saul and 1 of Gene if we're lucky, but most likely we get 3 episodes of Mike and Gus getting the lab ready and then 1 episode of Saul and Gene.
Fricking hacks.
What you have to understand, is that Jimmy was always rotten. Saul was the persona Jimmy developed because he only ever felt comfortable being the bad guy. The timeskip works because Kim was the only thing that brought the humanity out of Jimmy. After being a disappointment to Cliff, humiliating Chuck and driving Chuck towards insanity, being vilified by Schweikart, Mesa Verde, and everyone at the courthouse, Kim was the only thing he had left. Being haunted by Chuck's and Howard's deaths, losing Kim was the last thing that broke Jimmy. Him completely embracing the sleazy, mischievous, criminal lawyer side of Saul Goodman is Jimmy having to cope with how fricked up his life had become.
The real problem of the show is how much time is wasted on cartel exposition and all the screen time with Gus. There's no emotional investment when you already have an idea of how things are going to turn out.
What's with the amount of people shitting on the show all of the sudden? Discord raid?
>it couldn't be that the last season sucks. no it must be a raid
Except criticisms weren't so out there an episode or two ago. You have people coming out of the woodwork now and being like
>DUDE THE SHOW'S ACTUALLY BEEN BAD SINCE SEASON (X)
A major story arc across several seasons just concluded. If you're surprised that people decided now is the time to express their opinion about it, you might have issues.
Kim and Jimmy's arc is not over if that's what you're talking about
In one of the previous threads i said that i have a hunch BCS will be hit by modern moronness of hating every finale no matter what. If you want to hate something, you will always find "reasons". They are preparing for the finale.
Maybe people who watched since it came out are more critical. 8 years is a long time to invest in a show. The people who binged up until now are probably like "meh its fine why you complaining sheesh"
you already know you're gonna hate the finale, don't you?
I'm already disappointed. I'm expecting the end to be meh
it's probably worth pointing out that this is pretty much the only place on the internet that people are shitting on it, on average BCS' reception has never been better than season 6 no matter what metric you're looking at. even the average viewership has been going up despite what that one incomplete chart comparing it to BB would have you believe.
>there’s a conspiracy hating on a show
If you actually took your meds, you would see that the show is shit and is worthy of criticism
>the show is shit, ignore I've only just started voicing my opinions on it in the last few days!
Sure buddy
Not everything is a discord raid, schizo.
People just tuned in to this show for Saul, not Gus.
i never liked it. Sorry to interrupt the circle jerk.
Then dont post here gutter Black person
TV shows tend to blunder the last season because wrapping up everything gracefully is hard. It shouldn't come as any surprise people don't like this season because it truly is not good.
>shit pacing
>shit writing
>rushing to end everything while leaving in long drawn-out 20 minute scenes to show gus acting like a supervillain, drinking wine, and doing other shit no one cares about
>grr this must be discords fault!
>What's with the amount of people shitting on the show all of the sudden?
BCS S6 is the ending to a beloved show - so ofc 4gag has to pretend it's a total shitfrick disaster regardless of the actual content.
Same loser mentality that infests all of this godawful psyop website. NEETs and incels are desperate to find something to be negative about.
I've been enjoying it as much as [or even a little more than] S3, which I previously considered to be 'peak' BCS.
Agreed.

the frick was the point of the Gus wine scene?
he's gay
It was him feeling like he was finally ready to move on from Max's death, now that he felt secure in his position in the cartel and could operate in perpetuity and with impunity under Eladio's wing for the rest of his life, and get to lord it over Hector to boot. going to ask that guy to come back to his place, crack open the wine, and have gay sex. But when he swirled the red wine he was reminded of Max's blood in the pool, and realized he's never ever going to move on from that until he gets revenge on everybody responsible. That scene was Gus deciding once and for all to become the Gus we see in BB.
wtf, so they retconned his sexuality? he mentioned having a wife and children in Breaking Bad
I think so, but Gus lying to Walt to manipulate him isn’t new information
let’s be real, the only reason they retconned it was for progressive brownie points
>he mentioned having a wife and children in Breaking Bad
when ? and even then it could be his alibi
whenever Walter joined Gus at his place for dinner
he just say kids, and even then he's a good lier
Gus has always been full gay
You clearly weren't watching BB episode by episode when it came out. There was a strong consensus from fans behind the theory that Gus was actually gay and Max was his lover from pretty early on. The 'family' was never seen. IMHO they've done a great job in BCS gradually showing this to indded be the case without being overly in your face about it or making it a major part of his character.
I hate his scenes so much that I don't even know who Max is anymore.
Yeah, It was a little bit of filler. But I like the interpretation that for a second he went almost a full day without thinking about Max. He felt confortable with the wine dude and he could see himself moving on. But that would be a distraction. Whats the point of his revenge and all the effort It took, if he can forget and move on with another lover?
Unironically filtered
Writers railroaded themselves by deciding to include too many characters from BB, resulting in a script riddled with contrivances and out of character behaviour just to ensure everything stays consistent with BB.
Prequels are trash.
they didnt kill kim bc fan service. that was the obvious resolution
The biggest flaw with the show was the branding early on.
The show was marketed to be a lawyer drama about Jimmy Mcgill "becoming" Saul Goodman but really, it was more broadly just a prequel to Breaking Bad. I remember being annoyed when they would spend so much time focusing on sideplots for Mike and then especially Gus, Nacho etc.
Anything not focused on Jimmy was always going to come across as filler for as long as it had nothing to do with the central plot.
I actually enjoyed the show a lot more on second rewatch because I longer had those preconceptions and could enjoy watching Mike do menial housework for 60% of an episode without being annoyed about what the show should be focusing on.
jumped the shark with Lalo
Last 2 episodes were some of the worst pieces of television i have ever watched
E8 was painfully average, yesterday's episode was great.
Over half the episode was filled with absolutely nothing you soi guzzling midwit
they concluded every main character's arcs tastefully. They could have got away with omitting Gus and Mike's scenes and having their story end in the previous episode but Jimmy and Kim's scenes would have been much worse if it had just been an hour of moping and grimdark scenes.
>filled with absolutely nothing
Give me an example and I'll explain it to you like a child you moron.
I agree. The show has completely plummeted in quality. I don’t know how people are still defending it.
>not even contrarians can't agree with each other
[MASS REPLY]
>none of these guys are solid
They allowed themselves to create a compelling, believable story of two brothers and took 3 whole seasons to tell it just so they can frick it all up with the cartel subplot. Everything after Chuck's death just kept getting worse, more illogical, increasingly rushed and half-assed. With season 6 they're trying to cram more stories, subplots and conclusions than in seasons 4 to 5 while also being restricted by the fact that BCS is a prequel so most of the characters we don't see in BrBa had to be killed off with giving them any sort of conclusion or development.
This. I knew it would be an issue the moment they announced a prequel. It's a miracle we got so much kino from a show that was basically spoiled from the start and was doomed to unceremoniously tie ends with any character we don't see in Breaking Bad. But still, holy shit the writing is just bad in s6.
the show ended for me in season 4, when Jimmy said “S’all good, man!” to Kim
I dont know since I stopped watching pretty early on. Jimmy is a neat character and all the lawyer stuff was kinda entertaining, but I never cared about Mike, Gus or any of the other shit.
The show would have been better if they just focused on Saul. like one would expect from the title.
>but I never cared about Mike, Gus or any of the other shit
boy, then you would sure hate the later seasons. the fricking titular character takes a total backseat and becomes Gus and Mike’s show
>Saul Goodman is that you?
>It's been a while, nice vanity plate. You know I was thinking of getting one of those reminds me of Howa...
>Stay off the drugs Saul, my son tell me there is a new product going around.
>Blue meth! Can you believe it? Someone must be Breaking Bad™.
>Anyways take care.
I legit still can’t believe that the character development of jimmy becoming the saul from breaking bad was done off screen. I come onto Cinemaphile and I am shocked that people are actually defending this. The Marvel, Star Wars and capeshit crap has really rotten peoples brains.
you can’t even criticize the show here without being called a fricking speedwatcher. I loved this show up until this season. they fricked it
>loved this show up until this season. they fricked it
it's still better than every other shit available today but the drop in writing quality is just undeniable
>it's still better than every other shit available today
most hbo shows take a huge dump on BCS, peaky blinders is better, stranger things is better, even shitty disney crap like ms marvel is better
>stranger things is better
it was bait at peakeh bloidahs. but you really played your hand by this one
People actually have the audacity to claim that the character development has happened. The frick it has. Nowhere in the BCS series has Jimmy/Saul become the slick lawyer he was in Breaking Bad. He has not pulled off a legal suplex like he did when got Jesse’s house from his parents. His run in with the DEA was weak in BCS, whereas his defence of Badger was strong and competent. Jimmy/Saul in BCS is simply not the same character in BB prior to the time skip.
>Jimmy/Saul in BCS is simply not the same character in BB prior to the time skip.
Yes, because they are not the same character you fricking idiot. Saul in BB wasnt meant to have a backstory. It was just a sleazy lawyer that serves the purpose the show needed. At least they gave you a very good reason into how and why Jimmy became Saul
>it’s supposed to be shit
Absolute state of vincefanboys
Don’t respond to my post if you understand the point I was making.
(You)
What a child
The reason is because Breaking Bad is extremely poorly written. Saul in Breaking BAd is poorly written terrible character just like every single one. Mike in Breaking Bad is also terribly written. BCS just fixing this marvel tier overrated schlock which was breaking bad. Breaking Bad is easily the most overrated piece of shit that was ever made, and Better Call Saul was improved thanks to Gould.
Because you are fricking speedwatchers, foaming and pants-shitting because you didn't get 2 montages of Jimmy doing shit we already saw in the S6 opener. Two montages in a single episode. And some other moron talking about "offscreen character development" when that Saul was all over Season 5, most notably in "Wexler v. Goodman". Might as well just call you speedwatching redditors and call it a day.
>criticizes time wasting, entirely unnecessary scenes like Lalo shower at a truck stop, sleep in a car, and eat peanuts in the sewer
>”what do you mean you want scenes or character development, you dumb speedwatcher?”
scenes of character development*
>Gave Lalo characteristics that makes him distinct. As they did with Howard, Chuck, Kim, etc.
>redditor so obsessed with "MUH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" that those scenes are considered as filler because they can't watch a show when the protag doesn't eat up 95% of every scene.
This is what a diet of capeshit does to a man. Why bother watching if you weren't the intended audience from the jump?
And those scenes don't develop a character in a way that long form, story driven TV is perfectly suited to do? You're a highschooler.
Lalo’s routine told me absolutely nothing about his character that I didn’t already know. he’s a patient, methodical tactician; I fricking get it. the problem is that the show wastes time on scenes like that, then rushes through vital character and narrative moments because they have to wrap the show up this season. they could’ve easily cut out pointless trite like the self-indulgent cold opens so that they could expand and elaborate on the necessary scenes which they’re just blowing right through. you have no comprehension for what makes for good writing, so shut the frick up, and don’t respond again.
>Lalo’s routine told me absolutely nothing about his character that I didn’t already know
so every scene, EVERY scene needs to have a new development of character, otherwise its useless? you complain about a show that has designed its entire six season structure around long, methodical character focused episodes and scenes. why are you even here?
didn’t I tell you not to reply?
yeah, what will you do about it? please tell me why its a problem for a character driven show to have scenes flavored by the characters theyre depicting?
damn anon that guy really got u seething. Like homie chill
only seething because i think it makes you mentally moronic to watch a show like this for six seasons and suddenly grow distasteful for the way its done things since 2015
I’m not going to bother reiterating a point I already fricking made. my answer is in the first reply I gave you.
Are you seriously trying to claim that lalo showering = character development?
nta but yes, scenes without dialogue or explicit action like that can in fact contain character development. why bother watching tv/movies if you don't even like them enough to pay attention or read into subtext? are you just doing it to 'fit in'?
There is literally no subtext to Lalo showering. He is hanging out in a sewer, which makes him stink, which makes him need to wash himself. It’s not deep or interesting, it’s simply filler.
how is it filler? is it MORE interesting to show him in the sewer only, or to show how a man like him would go to great lengths to still remain clean? i know which is certainly more fun to watch
>is it MORE interesting to show him in the sewer only
yeah. instead of waiting 5 more minutes for literally anything to happen the nothing in 5 minutes happens straight away
difference of worldviews, then. you're severely limiting yourself in my opinion. its fun to see how characters operate in situations, thats the whole point. given, at this point, youre likely just digging your heels in and will take whatever is the opposite stance of any point i make.
for example, people complain about shows or movies telling but not showing all the time. this is going to great lengths to show you things that arent usually shown in a show or movie. It's methodical, it takes it's time, it meanders, and it is great.
You're the same kind of fricktard who thinks he's 'teleporting' because there's no 23 minute montage of him using a fake passport to fly first class to Germany.
You can't win with you contrarian homosexuals.
show something happening
>lmao fricking filler what was the point of that scene?
Imply something has happened
>lmao how in the frick could that be possible? What are we supposed to just fill in the blanks with our 12 year old autistic brains?
genuinely thumbs upped
the getting into germany without explanation is actually a valid complaint. that could of been solved with a 15-30 second clip. you could of even done a shower segment at the same time. hops in, dyes his hair, gets out, compares his facial hair to the fake passport in front of him. trims a bit to match. bam.
but instead we got him teleporting to germany, and a full scene of lalo showering.
why show him going to germany? the whole mystery of that part of the season was "oh shit, whats lalo doing behind the scenes?!" we literally dont need the scene of him at the airports, because the sense of paranoia that he will show up at anytime is what drives that section of the season. instead, he pops up in germany and we go "what the hell? whats he doing over the- OH"
true, that could be cut and not impact the show in general. anyways, heres a shower scene. its 5 minutes.
I can't believe how much it gets overlooked that he intentionally 'pops up' to make it more shocking and unpredictable.
You've just proved my point in that you've successfully filled in the blanks yourself, and therefore a scene which would have removed the tension of 'where is he?' And also the unsettling twist of suddenly seeing him in Germany is not necessary.
It was good story telling.
no your right, we can remove that scene i agree. the shower scene is way more important. it should be twice as long.
So we've entered pretending to be moronic territory here. But you can watch the shower scene again on youtube. It's 2 minutes of which the actual shower is about 10 seconds long. At the end he sets his alarm for one hour and then wakes up an instant before it goes off.
The scene shows how robotic and precise he is behind the charming facade. Much like Gus.
There you go, enjoy the spoonful. I look forward to the next hilariously crafted sarcastic response.
I'm not pretending.
oh man wouldnt of understood he was methodical like that without those scenes. before that he was jumping muscle cars into pillow factories with them damn dover boys in tow
*wouldn't have
ah yes bring out the formal speech and spelling in the informal setting. i see you used it to great effect in the last post. nothing more sad then a grammar nazi then a shit one.
>Ah yes, bring out the formal speech and spelling in AN informal setting. You used it to SUCH great effect in YOUR last post. The only thing sadder than a grammar nazi is a shit one.
damn, doubling down and wasted on digits, bummer lol
>nothing more sad then a grammar nazi then a shit one
Samegayging. Sad.
>so shut the frick up, and don’t respond again
oooo mr big internet tough guy out here! frick off with the schtick you neckbeard
Don't even bother with these people, anon. Some people get mad that others can actually enjoy something. Many such cases. Sad!
>the character development of jimmy becoming the saul from breaking bad
yeah man, it's so jarring. we needed more setup, like
>saul participating in criminal enterprises
>saul losing everyone around him who held him accountable
>saul opening up a strip mall ambulance chasing operation
>saul wearing colorful suits, engaging in legal chicanery, and making stupid commercials
the fact that none of these happened was so fricking stupid tbqhwyfam. i can't see how jimmy becomes saul
>No kino montage of Saul buying all the moronic shit for his sleazy house.
>No moment where he puts on his vanity plate and whispers "That ones for you Howard"
>No testing out the honey breasts nickname for the first time
>No hair-loss Rogaine montage
>No going back to the Kettleman's to motorboat those breasts and buying the inflatable.
>buying the inflatable
kinda ridiculous that they wouldn't show this and instead we get the latest lore into gus' dead sex life
why the frick is buying the inflatable such an important thing to see for you sperglords? He went to a vendor and got it. There's literally nothing more to it. It's for "people" like you that Disney makes garbage like that Cruella film.
sorry man i understand you're still coping that vince didn't drop an extended steamy gus sex scene to appeal to "people" like you as well
I said nothing about the Gus scene. Tell me why you care so much about the inflatable?
the complain about long drawn out scenes but then want a scene with jimmy buying an inflatable??? lmao i will take 3 dozen gus wine scenes please
>please give me more gay scenes
Show defenders are confirmed homosexuals
anon, gus is gay? i didnt pick up on that from that scene. i got a sense of gus and his newfound security in being able to visit a restaurant. you're subconscious mind must be filling you with gay thoughts. have you lusted for dick recently?
Yeah, its not like they make the time jump in the very scene where you would logically understand why his character turns from scammy lawyer to sleazy lawyer.
What we really needed was a scene where we see how Saul gets his inflatable.
You talk about capeshit and star wars, but you are the type of person disney caters to by putting scenes like obiwan giving the spaceship toy to Luke cause "we need to see how luke gets his toy. How are we going to explain why he has It in a new hope?"
There was nothing else to show in a way that wouldn't seem redundant, irrelevant or fan-servicey. We know all the major events that lead to his full ''transformation'' into Saul Goodman. You brainlets wanted a montage of him buying tacky suits and going through wacky scammy lawyer adventures? kek
oh no imagine that, actual content about the main character in the namesake of the very show
Who wants that? I would much rather see gus awkwardly try to flirt with men
i mean, thats also pretty fun because i know how much salt and mental gymnastics will happen over that not being the longest waste of time on planet earth, lol.
Yes, they should just cater to the lowest common denominator and, ignoring all the tension and drama that has been building up in the final season, focus on making the main character a parody of itself to entertain midwits with >le funny scummy lawyer
Even though that would add nothing of value at this point.
ah yes the tension and drama of gus...drinking a glass of wine. and who could forget lalos shower scene
>worldbuilding isnt important.
>did you know in better call saul
>they have showers
>and wine
hes right. if you had seen lalo, clean, in the next scene, it wouldnt make sense. how did he get clean? where did he get clean? could they of shown this by him being generally always clean and caring about his appearance? and dont even get me started on the wine
>worldbuilding isnt important
>The Marvel, Star Wars and capeshit crap has really rotten peoples brains.
uh oh anon, because b***hing about this season is a symptom of that kind of brain rot
>THIS IS SO POG, LOOK AT THE EPIC POGGY SYMBOLISM HERE GUYS, MIKE IS *BEHIND* THE GATE TO REPRESENT THE FACT THAT HE IS *IMPRISONED* IN 'THE GAME'!!!! AND PAPA VARGA IS FREE... GOD THIS IS SO EPIC, I WILL CONSUME EVERY FRICKING SECOND OF THIS SHOW, CLAP, AND AUDIBLY GO "WOW". THIS IS TRULY POG, GUYS.

>noooooooo, you can't consume things you like !! don't you know you will never be a cool kid if you enjoy things !!??
i stopped watching after season 1 and i realized they were going to drag it out at least as long as breaking bad but had no idea it would turn out this terrible. lmaoing at everyone who got suckered into watching this trash for 6 seasons
the show died with Chuck.
Its a decent show, it hat some iconic and great moments, but lets be honest,if BB didnt exist alot of ppl wouldnt bother watching it and alot of the high praising comes because BB was so damn good.
Its dragged out too long, we also already know about like half the characters endings. I just hope thats gonna be it for the BB universe after this and Vince makes something completely new.
Oh and what i also really appreciate is that theres basically no forced diversity which is pretty rare in modern tv.
I slow the show down to 3fps to match my cadence. 1 stroke = 1 frame
If Vince Giligan and Peter Gould wrote a Spider-Man film
>40 minutes of Uncle Ben doing mundane shit
>Peter Parker gets bullied at school
>*time skip*
>Peter Parker is fighting criminals as Spider-Man
>it's a Gus does nothing for 20 minutes episode
I liked the first 3 seasons but something went wrong after that
Yeah Chuck died and the show went straight down the shitter
Saul in Breaking Bad is just after-thought and plot device, nothing more. He isnt real character. The problem with Breaking Bad is that most characters are like this. When i was 17 yrs old i alsa thought that BB is the best shows ever made, sadly its plot-driven garbage who dont respect their characters.
>last half of the last season of the show
>lets have a scene where a man tells a story about travelling to gus, for absolutely no reason at all
>lets have a scene where a man tells a story about travelling to gus, for absolutely no reason at all
The point of the scene is that it shows how Gus got the idea to poison Don Eladio.
Looks like all these plebs filltered with character driven show absolutely pathetic. And Better Call Saul is nowhere near the top tier character-driven series that are there, but compared to plot driven garbage like Breaking Bad its pearl on television right now, BCS is easily the best show that is still on going and its absolutely sad what a pathetic sate of television we have right now.

You are not as smart as you think you are. Read a book instead
The only real thing we needed to see is him getting his office at the strip mall. The rest is lore autism that they thankfully only briefly introduced then moved past it. That's wiki shit for theorists
lol no-one is going to give a shit about this show a year from now. gonna be forgotten faster than game of thrones. the people defending it have already lost, they just haven’t realised it. let them emotionally flail around.
HEY HECTOR posting is still the funniest part of the whole show to me
>THATS RIGHT YOU UNBELIVABLE SACK OF FLAMING DOG SHIT, ITS ME, NACHO VARGA, LAST NAME V A R G A, WHO CRIPPLED YOU PERMANENTLY FORVER SO YOULL HAVE TO SHIT IN A BAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR SKATEBOARD SHIT LIFE I REPLACED THE HEART PILLS WITH COSTCO BRAND 50 MG, 300 DOUBLE PACKS (8.95 with a membership, in the pharmacy section).

Frick this wiener sucking show, they want to be all cool and release it once a week instead of just putting the whole season on Netflix, jesus christ these boomers and their TV, I just wanna be able to binge watch this shit in a day or two.
How come I'm still able to watch all the episodes for free with no ads on the amc website? I signed up for the free trial for first half of the season then cancelled it. Should have been done by now.
Nothing! The problem is that you are a buffoon! A buffoon can't handle a show like this, and that is why you don't like it! You are a buffoon!
dexter become a lumberjack moment
funny seeing the denial
don't know... i still regularly rewatch the first 3 seasons
kim breaking bad was such an interesting direction but it just never actually really made sense for me, her heel turn
but i went with it because it's cool seeing her ruthless
but then she's suddenly aghast with herself AFTER coming up with that unnecessary lie about seeing howard snort and i still just don't really get her
that scene with gus at the bar was the first time i started skipping ahead a little, though i liked gus's unusually soft/charming expressions
lalo revenge not as captivating as i wish it was
this season was cursed when they decided not to start it with a gene scene
the most interesting characters have been killed. thankfully its almost over.
Half the show has been filler pandering to BrBa fans who thought the show was too boring when it focused on Jimmy and wanted more epic gang shootouts, so now they have to dedicate half of the final season to killing off the remaining plots and characters they've introduced that can't exist during Breaking Bad.
>what the frick happened to this show
Its getting a little rushed and unfocused. I don't think its gone bad but we got one episode to wrap up Lalo's story and we got one episode to deal with the aftermath which ended with Kim leaving in a way that felt abrupt, it made sense but it was abrupt which was perhaps the point.
Compared to the really slow build up we've gotten in past seasons the shift in pacing makes the show feel very different. Still enjoying it, still want to see what happens with Gene's Cinnabon franchise, but it does feel like a rush to the finish line for the last season.
it was pretty funny how they used photographs from Fabian's instagram for [howard] spoilers wake [/howard]
Instagram didn't exist in 2005
>where is the character developement
>FRICK OFF SPEEWATCHING CAPESHITTING REDDITOR!!1 LE FILTERED xD
It's time to admit BcS is for the mentally handicapped, who like capeshit-like cartelshit. And the worst of it, those morons think that they are intellectually superior because only they "get it".
Better Call Saul is the Rick and Morty of live action tv.
Those were two of the most densely charged episodes of BCS in regards to character development, what are you even talking about?
>b-but I want more of le funny scummy lawyer!!
That would add nothing at this point. That's not how ''character development'' works.
>look at me kimmy i turned myself into a "SAUL GOODMAN" xD
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Better Call Saul.
Kino of the highest order
The Saul plotline is nothing without Chuck. Winner was the last good episode, without him Saul has no real antagonist. The Cartel plotline sucks because nothing interesting happens. "OHHH LALO IS GONNA TATTLETALE ON GUS!!" Who cares? They didn't introduce enough new characters, it's obvious everybody was gonna live except for Lalo.
i liked it where pseudo intellectuals here acted like they were "smart" because in this bullshit show never actually happened and it cause was slow as frick
FRICK Cinemaphile, FRICK CinemaphileNERS
>getting this intellectually insecure from BCS, of all things
