I always wonder how intentional that was. Was Nacho/Lalo always in the making? Or did they throw that in there just to show that Saul deals with a lot of shady characters and isn't sure who might be trying to kidnap him?
17:57 notice how once Saul goes from silly options to serious options, he steps forward and the lighting changes, on the next shot 18:01 his face is filled with shadows and a very threatening and scary tone.
yeah and chuck coulda helped if he actually supported jimmy. chuck was his reason to stay straight. when there was no more chuck, there was no more reason, there was no more McGill. just goodman.
@@Dripxo what’s worse is you see how much Chuck actually depended on Jimmy and he helped without complaining for the most part - but he’s still bitter and just as manipulative, holier than thou Yet there are still moments in season 1 where they actually talk like family with no kind of malice
If Chuck encouraged his brother to continue as a lawyer, Jimmy would have an incentive to do the right thing. For example, in season one Jimmy has several million dollars belonging to the Kettlemans. However, instead of keeping the money, he gives it away as it was the right thing to do and what Chuck would have wanted. Only when Chuck rejects Jimmy does he express that he regrets not keeping the money, returning to a life of swindling. To an extent, the creation of Saul Goodman can be attributed to Chuck's inability to believe in his brother.
7:07 that little scene of saul looking dejected takes on a new meaning after bcs, before it implied he was upset walt isnt cooking or that walt reminded him of one of his past marriages but after we know he was thinking about him and kims divorce
For all the people who say chuck was right, I’d argue it was a self fulfilling prophecy. Think about how jimmy could have turned out with help and support. Heck, with supportive parents that didn’t dismiss his concerns and didn’t leave him to figure out his dark view of the world himself. Think about what a different motivation he would have had if chuck had ever had the ability to actually be proud of him. Maybe put him through school? Supported him through college when he was younger. Came home more often and actually TALKED to jimmy instead of just looking down on him. I‘m not saying its all chucks fault but who knows what just one good and helpful relationship in his formative years could have done for him.
The biggest thing is that Chuck never believed in Jimmy. He could never look at Jimmy and see someone who worked hard to achieve anything, just a shyster who swindled his way through life. If Chuck had just given Jimmy a job at HHM once her passed the bar and given him a chance, Jimmy could have turned into the best lawyer at that firm, maybe even become a second M in HHM like Howard did. But no he never believed in him and it set Jimmy down a path of being exactly what chuck said he was and lead to chucks own death
@@user-bm7vl7rt5o my reply is to another reply just above it. In that reply, he/she is focused on Bryan Cranston, who is a comedic actor in the traditional sense. I know Bob is a comedian, his skit show is still one of my favorites.
the battle of wits i noticed they had the longest rivalry in that universe, from Hank hating Saul already in BCS , in BB when Badger was arrested , when Saul made fun of Hank when he was in a wheelchair then it ended when Saul met Marie
The writers of Better Call Saul talked about how that line in particular was what they struggled with the most in making the prequel. If I remember correctly they went ahead and addressed him having a second wife while he was filing the paperwork for his and Kim’s marriage, and I think they chalked the whole “cheated on me with my stepdad” line on one of those crazy things that Jimmy says while in his Saul character that isn’t really true.
nah I think it was a joke Saul has some dark humor in him like when he found out Skyler was gonna divorce Walter "just...dont hang yourself in the closet alright?
Go with BB first. You'll get the bigger picture. Therein you'll find this interesting Saul Goodman character. Then watch BCS and let your mind be blown away by awesomeness
@@joedwyer3297watch better call Saul first you get to see all the events that led to breaking bad and it will change your perspective even the guy that plays Gus said it’s better to watch it like that
@@mr.personalspace7831 fantastic mate ive now seen them all and at season 3 bb rewatching it😂 Cant believe i put off watching them for so long what a brilliant pair of shows man
they mustve had the script for better call saul when breaking bad was still on the air, because when walt & jesse kidnap him & take him to the desert, he asks 'did lalo send you' , and he proclaims 'it was ignacio'.
He means that it was Ignacio who betray him (Lalo) not Saul, he thinks Lalo was trying to revenge his family and he believed that Lalo was still alive because Lalo survives in Mexico and kill Howard, so Lalo gave him PTSD.
