@@r8m8s8 cartel twins died during breaking bad and had enough shots of their childhood. And scenes in Better Call Saul. It's going to be mindless murder for the entire season.
I always felt like Saul was hiding out as Gene for many years from the flash forwards. It was surprising to see it was less than a year in the final episode.
@@youtuberabbithole6002 i think Jesse will get away with it. Jimmy only got caught because he started running that scam and because he was a well known micro-celebrity with his face plastered all over benches and advertisements. I think as long as Jesse keeps to himself and lives a modest life then he could get away with it.
@@youtuberabbithole6002 Jesse just got into the world of meth for money. He would never straight up hurt anyone. He only did because he’d listen and look up to Walt a lot and if he felt their lives were in danger. Jesse will be fine as Mr. Driscoll in Alaska. Gene timeline - the hint about the timeline being October / November 2010 was given through a couple of football references. The writers mention that Gene subconsciously wanted to get caught. He was depressed living alone. He kept acting paranoid. But also made those small time cons once he figured Jeff wasn’t a threat and that he himself was just being paranoid and scared at first that he may call the police.
The time machine flashbacks are so underappreciated. The first two with Mike and Walt showcases Jimmy choosing the "Just Make Money" option (What Lalo told Jimmy when Lalo asked about the meaning of JMM on Jimmy's briefcase) instead of "Justice Matters Most". In spite of choosing that, you can see the emotional dishonesty in Jimmy/ Saul after Mike and Walt's response to his answer. In the third flashback, Chuck told Jimmy how he could always change his path if he doesn't like where he's headed, and in this case he's heading towards a direction where Kim disapproves of him suppressing his feelings about Chuck, Howard, and their deaths. In my view, while Saul does it for the money, Jimmy does things for Kim. That's why despite owning up to all his actions and further incriminating himself in court, Kim does not reciprocate Jimmy's Fingerbang gesture at the final scene. In addition, the Time Machine is a simple yet great metaphor to relate to one of the main themes of the show: Justice. You can't change what's occurred in the past, but you can learn from it and change the future. We've become so conditioned to Saul and Gene's ways that we forget that this show is still about James McGill. Keep in mind that Chuck and Jimmy's conversation regarding the changing of paths happened obviously right before Jimmy asked both Mike and Walt. The Time Machine book can also be seen multiple times in Jimmy's possession (at Jimmy's nightstand at Kim's place on Season 6, and at Saul's house.) He's clearly impacted by the book and has thought of changing his path for so long.
A time machine? A meaningless question. Time… A time machine. Look, time travel, the kind of time travel that you’re thinking of, is a scientific impossibility. It would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Alan Alda… he’s the expert. Oh, Christ. Are you kidding me? Quantum mechanics? We’re discussing that now? Stay in your lane. You are not talking about a time machine, which is both a real and theoretical impossibility. You are talking about regrets. So if you want to ask about regrets, just ask about regrets and leave all this time-traveling nonsense out of it.
Mike's young days as a police officer and how he ends up taking his first bribe and all the little things Mike talked about in s6 ep13 preintro scene when he was asked what he would do wid a time machine, would make an awesome spinoff.
Vince was talking about that in an interview, that the next spin off might be Mike as a young cop in Philly, showing how he went dirty. They couldn't use Johnathan Banks as the star, and it would present some challenges with having to have all period correct clothes, and vehicles, but it could be done, just like in Boardwalk Empire.
@@shhhadoww Unless we have scenes with him in either the present day or just before BCS, they’d have to do a lot of digital work to de-age him considerably
A key thing to mention in the Gene and Marion timeline is that Gene let’s slip about the law related to bailing out someone in Omaha, Nebraska vs Albuquerque, New Mexico. That’s when Marion connects the dots (also because Jeffie got caught up in some bad company in New Mexico) and she looks up conman Albuquerque and finds out that Gene is Saul.
Why isn’t Kim featured more in this timeline? She’s a hugely important character. You should have included her going to work for HHM and pulling her first scam with Jimmy. You should also have included a bit of detail about how Howard Hamlin mistreated her, to explain why she wanted to take down Howard. The way you set up the timeline, that development makes no sense.
Kim inherently is not that important to said time-line or narrative & she was just put in as an after thought as a "LI" but they did some interesting writing w/ her in the last se.
I've been a fan of the whole Breaking Bad Universe throughout all of the different shows. I grew up in Central Florida, specifically the "Space Coast". How fun it was to find out Kim Wexler had moved here and was a neighbor. Props to the production for actually filming here (unlike "The Right Stuff" and "I Dream of Jeannie" for example). Many of us here gotten a kick out of how the production changed and warped our local geography to fit us into the "BBEU". But I, for one am so proud and honored that they made us a tiny part of such a great story and magnificent group of shows...
I knew it was in Florida but had no idea that she was in Central Florida which is where I live myself but I'm in Orlando area and have been here since 2005
You should be also pleased by the fact that in BB when Jessee's escape via Vacuum man is considered, Saul proposes Florida as the destination for him (S05). At the time Saul knows that love of his life Kim is there, started her life with a clean slate. P.S. They did not actually shoot in Florida, it was revealed on the insider podcast because of practical reasons :).
Loool they Never filmed in Florida...tmi, dude! Edit...I know cuz I work for a PC & covid rules have made every dept. Cost 3xs! Every project is using 1 location filming.
Rest in Peace, Nacho. You were a Demon who wanted to be an Angel, but you couldn't escape Hell's grip. In the end, at least you went out on your own terms, like a true Bastard.
Nacho was a scumbag just like all the rest, he lied about the people who tried to kill him, and he killed people himself when he and the twins shot up that body shop. People say "Oh Nacho was not like the rest". He was a criminal killer/drug dealer just like all of them.
Nice recap! It would be helpful to keep the years or the decades up throughout the scenes, to help get a better sense of the timeline as we watch it. Just a suggestion :)
Lot of people said Jeff crashed on purpose to help Gene but I don’t think so. Gene saw the police outside so Jeff could’ve just pulled away n gene could’ve gone out the back door or the police follow Jeff and he leaves still anyway. Then Jeff wouldn’t of been in jail and Gene/Saul might have not been caught.
Yeah me too I think that he just got nervous n did something stupid. I don’t think he did it on purpose to help Saul get away. I highly doubt that. He could’ve easily acted like he was just picking a man up from a fare. It’s not against the law is it? But Jeff was so nervous that the cops might be there for them that he takes off loses control and crashes the car.
Haven’t seen this anywhere but I think you’re mistaken with the flash forward in S6 E9… That was definitely some time in 2009 when he was already working for Walt
: Seeing Jimmy make his comeback at the last minute in court after he saw Kim hit me right in the feels. His reply to when his advisory counsel told him what he did to Chuck wasn't a crime, that was everything.
Breaking Bad's timeline seems easy to assume since it starts with Skylar about to give birth and ends when the little girl is about 18 months to maybe 2 yrs. old. Hard to believe all that took place is such a short amount of time.
Why wasn’t the Sandpiper money mentioned more in s06, I thought showing Jimmy/ Saul getting his million plus money throughHHM would’ve been featured. Or did I miss something?
what a br ba universe it is, damn gotta tell u this is the one and only one series and nobody can make this gem ever again, BCS AND Br Ba are the series that everyone must watch legit.
Something I don’t understand, in BB, S2E8, “Better Call Saul”, Saul says that “it was Ignacio”, and was surprised when Jesse and Walter don’t work for Lalo, but…both Lalo and Nacho are dead? I don’t understand why Saul would say that, did the writers just forget about this detail when writing BCS?
Saul was never informed about Nacho’s death. And the first time he believed that Lalo was dead, he showed up randomly in his apartment. So he just simply doesn’t fully ever believe that Lalo is actually dead, he just has to believe Mike. Saul never saw Lalo’s body or has any idea where his remains are. For all he knows, Lalo will pop up and ruin his life again. But Saul was trying to tell Lalo that Nacho was the one who put a hit on Lalo’s home, not him. So.. flash forward to the dessert, he assumes Walt and Jesse are Lalo, so again he frantically tries to explain that “IT WASNT ME IT WAS IGNACIO”!!
I too, question the timeline. I think the year when Jimmy goes to jail, would be more like 2015. Kim didn't get that old and dumpy looking, nor did Jimmy lose all his hair in 6 months.
Does not make sense, Walt died in 2010, Jimmy went to Omaha, and was working at Cinabon. When Jimmy gets sent to prison, it has to be much later than 2010.
Dunno if someone else has already mentioned this, but it literally just occurred to me watching this… When Combo gets killed, it’s kinda because they had such an unwarranted reputation… Combo seems to embrace the potential of Jessie’s offer more readily than the others. He even personifies the puffer fish much more so than Jessie… literally puffing up his chest flashing a piece to the big scary car, before getting popped unexpectedly by a child.
Hello dear Looper, i ak a favour about a horror movie. In one scene , a guy runs scared in the house and in last moment, he gets into the bathroom with the lights on. He realise that he is safe there protected by light. But he left the door opened and see the a creature like a witch standing at the door's corner. Another people tells me that moviie is lights out but it s not.
Need to know how and when Tuco got out and what did he do upon release and what was his reaction to see Hector in a wheelchair and Lalo dead. BB and BCS don’t explain that.
I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think we need to see Tuco’s reaction to those events. Especially from a thematic standpoint, Tuco is a rather minor character, so while I’ll freely admit it would’ve been cool to see, I don’t think it would’ve significantly contributed to the franchise narratively/thematically. Now, as for what Tuco did after getting out, Lalo states in BCS that Tuco is going to maintain Salamanca interests in the U.S, so what we see of him in BrBa is what he was likely doing the entire time he was out of prison.
@@facelessandnameless I haven't even finished break bad. I kind of watch a lot of shows at the same time. I dont check online for any information so I don't get spoiled so that's how I didn't know.
Question y’all, because I can’t find the episode: which episode shows/explains Walt breaking up with Gretchen because he felt inferior to her family’s wealth?
In season 2, episode 6 “Peekaboo” Walt and Gretchen are at a restaurant talking and she’s just found out about Walt lying that she and Elliot were paying Walt’s medical bills. In that episode, she reminds him he’s the one who left her without giving an explanation and it’s implied that he left because of her family being wealthy. Walt says something along the lines of “poor rich girl, adding to your family’s wealth”.
