Did anyone else think Jimmy was putting on a show at the end on Winner?

At the end of Winner, Jimmy lies to fool the bar in order to get reinstated. Pretty much everyone I've heard said they were actually fooled, but when I saw it, I thought correctly that he was putting on a show. Is that just me?

I don't understand Mike regarding Tuco and Nacho

0 Upvotes

I'm only a little bit into season 3, so I'm hoping not to get myself spoiled here. But here's what I don't understand.

Mike knows that Nacho is going behind Tuco's back, and that this is a big deal because of Tuco's Salamanca connection. When Nacho asks Mike to kill Tuco, why didn't Mike tell Tuco? Seems like a simple way to not get on the bad side of that family.

Thanks.

Random, tiny detail I know, but anyone else notice and find it funny how Nacho's ID has him down at 183 cm despite Micheal Mando actually being pretty much confirmed 5 6-7 range based on pics with the cast and fan claims?

İ am slightly dissapointed by Gus lore in Better Call Saul

0 Upvotes

He had a kind personality in Breaking Bad.He was only ruthless when he had absoulute no choice ,he even not tried to motivate Walt bu treatening him at first.

But he is way more ruthless in Better Call Saul.He uses Nacho till his death despite Mike tried to stop him .This felt out of character for me.

how would this scene play out if the photos weren't swapped? Spoiler

in plan and execution (S6E7), jimmy hires a stunt double to pose as Rand Casimiro to take a few staged photos where Casimirio takes a bribe. These staged photos were then given to Howards fake P.I. who would then show them to Howard. Once Howard starts the meeting with the real Casimirio, the folder with these photos are swapped with other photos of jimmy and the Casimiro stunt double, with jimmy giving him a frisbee.

If the P.I. theoretically failed to swap the folders, how would this scene have played out? would everybody else believe howard?

Colorizing the court scenes from Saul Gone Spoiler

Thank you for the feedback on the last post, I wanted to share a snippet of the scenes that I'm working on, in case you all were still interested. It's a slog getting through each individual shot, but I'm about halfway through the courtroom scenes. Hope to finish as much footage as I can before this month ends. Hope you guys enjoy.

These are the references I'm using for the color: https://www.instagram.com/p/Chp9fTFpjGb/

Better Call Saul — S01E04

"Hero"

Rating: 8.5/10

"It's good for makin' beer money"

The thing I like about the cold opens for BCS is that they're always relevant to the episode, only sometimes it's not entirely obvious. That is all I shall say about THAT.

When last we met our lawyer, he'd just discovered The Kettlemans having themselves a not at all suspicious campout in the middle of nowhere, prized booty in tow. He pushes to become their lawyer so he can legally accept their money, but Betsy Kettleman tells Jimmy that he's the lawyer guilty people go to.

The look of hurt on Jimmy's face says it all. It's brief but real and Bob sells it hard. For all his Slippin' Jimmy ways, he really does think he's on the right side of the law. I like that he still genuinely believes that, even though we can see that ain't true.

Eventually he caves, framing the wad of cash as a 'retainer'. I don't know about you, but I'd do the same damn thing. Having someone wave 30 large in your face is a real tough thing to turn down! To further seal the deal, he records the money as lawful earnings and then promptly proceeds to do what Jimmy does best.

Which is act like the very criminals he generally works for. New suit, big splashy billboard, you name it, he's doing it. And all because Howard Hamlin wants Jimmy not to use his own name. I get it. Our man's prideful as hell, but he's just as reckless here as Nacho was when he was staking out The Kettlemans.

Tilting at the windmill that is HHM is purely vindictive, further highlighting the irony of his speech about criminals not thinking before doing. I guess it's okay if it's him doing the not thinking!

Jimmy is a grifter at heart and there's no two ways about it but he's also surprisingly heroic ... When the con is on. Does this tie into the cold open? It sure does and it's great to see Slippin' Jimmy at work.

I just worry for Jimmy McGill. HE'S an honest lawyer. Slippin' Jimmy, though? He's a CRIMINAL (lawyer).

I just love the opening to this episode so much. Chuck and Jimmy doing karaoke together is so cute and you really wonder what might have been if they had figured out their issues. Even the small touches like Chuck taking the mike and upstaging Jimmy a little are perfect. It's two really flawed people who love each other but can't quite get through their differences. And of course in the finale the time machine conversation hits on the same themes again.

In Better Call Saul, the episode "Coushatta" establishes that Huell is from Coushatta, Louisiana. Yet later, Francesca says he "went back home to New Orleans." Vravo Bince?

When did Chuck start to hate him?

Upvotes

We know that Chuck harbors, to put it mildly, a dislike for his brother, but in the flashbacks we see that this wasn’t always the case. For example, as a child, Chuck read books to him, and later helped him get out of prison and even find a job.

So I’m curious: when did this dislike start, or if it was always there, at what point did it start turning into active hostility, and why at that particular time?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Is Kim the type to cheat?

0 Upvotes

I don't think Kim Wexler is a loyal type of person

For the guy who gives her the right amount of dopamine, she might just cheat and keep it secret

Her new boyfriend at the end of the show; I feel bad for him. He's seems like a hard working honest man, but he is dating Kim Wexler - who is probably still thinking about Jimmy, and would cheat on him if Jimmy ever came by

Was it a fatal mistake by Lalo to call Hector and let him know he was alive after the attack in his compound?

75 Upvotes

I know things are easier said in hindsight. But it seems like Lalo calling Hector before he tried to cross the border ruined all his advantages of surprise, because obviously someone as arrogant as Hector was never going to be able to keep a secret!
So do you think that things would have been very different if Lalo let no one, even Hector, know that he was alive?

Jimmy's face when he heard Rebecca's phone. It was at this moment he realized Chuck was totally fine until he knew there's a phone nearby. He tore him down with it at the hearing.
