Mr. X got a lot less cocky and a lot more professional after Mike beat his ass, stole his guns, and his dignity. The real lesson is, just take Mike's advice while he's still willing to talk.
@@ReMattch That would be pretty great. Honestly though I pretty much trust the BCS team to do their thing their way. They have a damn good track record in the BB universe.
@@cometmoon4485 but then walt and jesse do exactly that to Saul when they first meet him. Then saul keeps suggesting they kill badger to make sure he doesn't talk
After the end of Season 5, I realize just how much Kim has changed. She doesn't even flinch when Mr. X talks about kidnapping someone into the desert. She's in full "Giselle" mode and just keeps on listening as she flips through the photos.
There’s some subtle signs of her being ruthless, this one and obviously the one at the end of the season when they’re plotting against Howard come to mind. I can’t wait to see where Kim goes in the final season.
@@Arkenway yes but at the same time she’s seeing what path Jimmy is taking and this shady guy and yet she’s too comfortable with all of this. She’s getting deeper and deeper into the dark side and Jimmy thinks she’s the same or he’s protecting her.
Fun fact: They were actually suppose to bring back Bill Burr's character Patrick Kuby, but the actor had a family emergency at the time of filming. So he decided not to come back and they replaced the character with Mr. X
@@elmerofairo it was, Jimmy had called him for the job initially but he was recovering from the gang brawl at the village Gus privately funded in Mexico
I love how Steve is essentially playing the same character type in every thing he seems to work in (TV shows, games etc.) and every time still clearly has lots of fun with it
On one hand I'm sad because this is supposed to be Kuby's first appearance. On the other I'm glad they brought Ogg back. He has a real presence and charisma, especially in this sort of show.. Too bad there won't be another season, it's just now getting really good. And i definitely wanted to see more Kuby
I love this guy. He shows and steals the show then bounces. I remember when he was the best part of the Walking Dead for like a whole season. He's perfect for BCS.
Granted that he's sarcastic and passive aggressive, but you can see he has toned down his active arrogance and assholery a lot since the gun-punch in the throat by Mike.
@@betsybarnicle8016 if memory serves right, she got leverage over Mesa Verde by discovering a possible copyright infringement by them in their logo because they used one of the paintings which would be difficult to prove they own the IP and would take years if it went to court.
Considering that AMC doesn’t let actors cross over to other TV shows unless they are a spin off of the original series. I think it’s safe to say that Mr.X is Simon.
@@TretheZeldaFan even if it was a one time thing, for "fun", it is still a crossover. I don't get your reasoning as to why it wouldn't count. Actors from different series were in the same scene(s) and interacted with one another; that is the definition of crossover. Am I missing something?
I'm gonna go with Franklin and Lamar. Franklin and Michael is of course the more iconic team but kidnapping fools in a van (especially when there's not actually a good reason to do it) is more of a Lamar thing. Franklin would agree with Saul that it's a bad idea but then he'd say "man, how do I keep gettin talked into this shit" and do it anyway.
Fun fact, David Cross, who is Bob Odenkirk's longtime friend and costar in Mr. Show, was also in GTA. It was the vice city version I believe. When I played the game like 20 years ago I noticed David Cross as a videogame store operator.
@@nicholaslu4069 Mr. Show is a national treasure not many are familiar with and its a shame. 'The car wash change thief' is one of the funniest skits i have seen.
0:15 "You know those things are full of parasites," he said, probably wanting to pick the fish out of the aquarium and eat them raw, then snort the gravel.
Damn, Trevor went from being able to take down hundreds of people single handedly (including the US military) to getting knocked down in one hit by an old dude.
I genuinely didn’t know this was Sobchak/Steven Ogg lmao. His demeanor and non-chaotic aura flew above my head compared to the first Trevor-sequel appearance
@@raskolnikov7049 it doesn't sound stupid if he had done his homework, as explained by Mike. Mike knew that Nacho would not want it to go sideways because it was a side hustle behind Tuco's back, thus, no gun needed
@@2911oscar And what if Nacho just kills them all and drops them into sea wearing cement shoes? Tuco would never find out. Probably wouldn't happen, but it's better to be sure, no?
As much I appreciate a Stephen Ogg appearance, it stinks that Kuby only ever got a mention in the series instead of appearing here. More Bill Burr was one of things I was most excited for at the start.
Does that meet with your approval? Hahaha Very rarely to we see someone give Kim a mouthful of Kim level sass that stops her in her tracks, bravo Trevor lol (Kim is my favorite character, it was just funny to me to see)
They got to have this guy and the actor for nacho on a show where they both can have plenty of screen time to can play the well articulated, manic psychopaths we all recognize them as
I like how this gave Mr. X a little more validity. He’s still a little nutty but he proves here he is competent. Supposedly this scene was written for Bill Burr’s character but he couldn’t make the filming.
I love imagining this is Trevor after years of therapy and medication: he's still there but now he's a reliable, healthy, highly-functional criminal with all his expertise and personal traits
Fun Fact, this scene was ment to introduce Patrick. Bill Burr revealed that he would have appeared in Better Call Saul season 5, but that he had to decline because of the health of a loved one. "I was supposed to be on it, and unfortunately I had somebody who was dying, and I knew if I did it, I was going to miss. I had to visit him, I had to say goodbye. It sucked. The whole thing sucked. Because Vince Gilligan is the reason why I have an acting career." His role in "Dedicado a Max" was ultimately rewritten for the character Sobchak, played by Steven Ogg as seen here.
I didn’t even realise this was the same guy who got his guns thrown in the trash by an avid pimento cheese sandwich enjoyer until others pointed it out
I hope that the parasite thing will be resolved. I really care about these fishes. Much more than about these unimportant side characters like Kim, Nacho and.... what was the name of that lawyer again....?
Sure. Mesa Verde was in a dispute with a homeowner who refused to vacate in order for Mesa Verde to build a new call center on that land. Kim represented Mesa Verde but sympathized with the homeowner, so he had Jimmy/Saul represent him while trying to find some leverage that would convince Kevin to place the call center at another location. As for the picture, it turned out to be very similar to the Mesa Verde logo, which developed into a copyright dispute with the artist who created the picture (also represented by Jimmy/Saul).
Honestly it’s the one storyline that irritates me with BCS. Kim seems to hate Kevin because he’s rich and wants what he wants. The “homeowner” in this situation was actually not a homeowner at all. His family leased the land and Kevin bought the land from the prior owner to put his call center there. They compensated all the people who moved so I’m not sure what Kim was so mad about. She just feels like Kevin in the big guy and she has to protect the little guy from him. She has no problem with Jimmy conning people, but this is a bridge too far. It’s stupid. The one flaw in an otherwise perfect story.
