Top 10 Breaking Bad Questions That Got Answered In Better Call Saul 

What how is this thing 5 days ago when it has been uploaded yesterday?

I still want to know what exactly happened between Walt and Gretchen back in the "Gray Matter" day, and why Walt left Gretchen in the middle of the night, during a supposedly happy holiday weekend, with no explanation. We do learn that later, Gretchen marries Elliot and the two of them buy Walt's interest in Gray Matter for a mere $5K, and that Walt resents them forever because of it -- but we never learn why, or exactly what happened in the Gray Matter time. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

@@marioncapriotti1514 same man I'd really like to get an answer for that

What happened to Kim?

@@marioncapriotti1514 thats a very good storyline I would love to learn more about. They should have shown more of it in Breaking Bad.

Never got into this show, would you say it’s better than breaking bad ?

@@10willybilly I think it is tbh

@@10willybilly Some of the characters are alot more well written and have more personality. However in turn it's alot different to BB since in BB it's family life mixed with drug life. BCS focuses on a few more angles than BB had. It actually gives some kinda alright characters in BB a fully fleshed out story and motive and you start to realise how much Walter destroyed. You realise Mike was right on multiple levels when he explains to Walter "We had a good thing going on!" BCS is the buildup to the world of BB and breaking bad is the tale of that world being dismantled by Walter through his pride. That's my take personally so far. Maybe I over talked a bit but yes I certainly think Better Call Saul is slightly better than Breaking Bad especially since Vince Gilligan had the experience of working with breaking bad beforehand and can only improve further on with Better Call Saul.

@@MyUnoriginalUsername well said. people forget that their experience on Breaking Bad has informed the quality of the writing and production on Better Call Saul. It's so rare to see a team of writers create one of the greatest shows ever and then follow up with a show that's even better. most great shows get canceled before they can be great

For real

I mean what would you do to the salamacas if they did to you what they did to Gus.

Actually Salamanca did a dark move on Gus. Kaboom 💥

@@SuperG4ndo llllllll

@@SuperG4ndo a quick gunshot to the head versus torture of an old man

It costs him in the end 💥 ☠️

Mike should have gotten the spin off instead boring ass Saul.

@@Justin-pe9cl maybe with enough movement they will be cool to see a show on his days as a dirty cop

@@Justin-pe9cl i love saul:(

I just rewatched Beverly Hills cop and saw Jonathan banks as he looked 37 years ago. He still has that tough guy, signature look. But as Mike he has a heart, too.

Just watching Mike work on seemingly tedious projects and wondering what the hell is that about is fascinating to me.

omg how did i miss tht

Yep. It gave him Vietnam flashbacks.

Yep I could see from the pain in his eyes immediately

Good catch

I didn’t even think of that wow.

Or if Huell still in that security house.

Gus is going to Kill Lyle as he did with his other right-hand on breaking bad, that's why in BB the manager is the Girl.

If he can clean up correctly.

@@LuigiUc Nah how Bill Burr and Huell became partners!

@@jesuseduardo4444 oh fuck rly? I dont remember Lyle in BB was he never there?

Better

True words. Since Hollywood does not deliver for a long time now anymore, at least we got a few really good shows. And frankly, I don't care anymore about the intense visual spectacle in the movies, shows are less shiney, but have so much more time to tell the stories of all the characters and let them develop.

I wonder why that's is? 🤔

Yes, the writing in BCS is superb! Finally watched El Camino the other night and while it's got mixed reviews, I really enjoyed it. Just another chance to live in the BB universe. Didn't watch BB when it first aired, a couple of months ago I started it and binged for 4 days and nights. I rank it as highly as the Sopranos, if not better. Then binged again on BCS.

@@vegasr8iders43 I think it’s just because of how long it takes for the pace to pick up. I keep telling people that if they stay the course then by the end of season 2 they won’t be able to stop watching

So a kid smoking weed? Sooo half of Albuquerque kids?

This might be a cool Easter egg if they cook it through and Jesse makes a cameo in S6 yo

@@Saddonghussein idk man im just quoting the show and everyone on the internet who believes this theory. There's even an article on it.

@@sweetfighter2592 just cus people believe it doesn't mean its true, did you not heard about Kevin McAlister's and jigsaw being the same people?

Hmm, now that you mentioned it. Kim is defending a kid that was involved with another kid robbing a liquor store. The other kid got off leaving the kid holding the bag. Was the other "snot nose brat" kid, Jesse?

Most psychopaths I know are total punks.

@@chazblank2717 that's pretty cool

With the worst spanish ever speaking lol

@@evergarden8592 it is, makes me feel like there’s a sense of karmic justice in the world… all these pitiful broken sad pieces of shit going nowhere fast and impatiently.

Because Southern American Spanish is different than cartel spanish?

Even better he first asked if Lalo send them

Yeah it all makes sense now!

Growing up, the only "Lalo" I knew was my cousin. This is a nickname for "Eduardo" or "Eladio". I wonder if Don Eladio was called Lalo growing up🤔? Yes! this was TV gold, and that is an understatement! The way that Vince, Peter, and the writers showed us exactly who those 2 characters were is arguably the best and most gripping character developments and reveals in TV history!!! Think of this, from Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul, I would think that you couldn't come up with 2 new characters (when the main ones were already pretty much legendary!) that take a show over! Seriously, from Walt, to Jessie, to Saul (aka Jimmy), and Gus, how is it possible to introduce 2 new characters that can completely make you either root for them or hate them this much??? Lalo and Ignacio were able to do it! It was because of the WRITING and ACTING! P.S. Lalo (Tony Dalton) is such a great character and actor. Even more amazing is he was the person who dropped from the ceiling at "Travelwire" and also begged the shows bosses to let him do the jump onto the car in desert! I think we can all agree he would have nailed that jump too! He was great hustling through that tunnel on his hands and knees! That smile and confidence in his intellect and physical agility is unmatched in a character! Also, the way that Mike Mando (Nacho) gets everyone who watches to root for him is maybe just as impressive! I seen an interview with him and he is such a cool guy and very humble, and he plays that to perfection in his character!

I remember waiting for season 5… and seeing that the knew character of the season was going to be a guy named Lalo?!? This was huge!!! Turns out he became the most fascinating character on the show

@@anthonyzarate9807 I’ve known as many other have that Mando was great form his character in Far Cry 3. Still the best Villain of the series so far.

The only plot hole I can think of is how Walt poisoned Brock. They were at Jesse’s house at the same time tho, so it’s possible Walt slipped something in a drink or saying it was candy or some shit. It’s never explained tho

@@boxingdegenerate9077 Walt poison Brock with a flower Lilly Of The Valley but how he poison him no freaking idea.

@@boxingdegenerate9077 that’s true. I always thought it was probably done off camera

Idk if this is considered a plot hole or not because they never specify the year they’re on but the osamabinladen joke on BB was out of place if the shows year is when it first aired

Erika, get yourself together

It's kinda known?

When Saul and Kim hired the investigator to look for dirt on Mesa Verde I thought for sure it was gonna be a Bill Burr cameo, but it was still a pretty good callback.

@@costanzafaust It was supposed to be, but he was unavailable so Trevor took his place.

@@chefboiarby304 that’s awesome, I need some Skinny Pete and Badger callbacks, maybe Kim will represent one of them here soon.

@@chefboiarby304 oh shit, just googled it. That’s crazy

Truth! You can see the reaction on Mike’s face that says “goddamnit! But I don’t blame you, kid”

You're right, because too many mindless people are watching stupid talent shows or horribly bad sitcoms that will just get canceled after one season.

Totally, even Breaking Bad wasn´t too popular as Game of Thrones for example, and now Better Call Saul is even less popular.

And we didn't even start talking about how much people saw El Camino ... Jesus, is there anyone who watched El Camino and better call Saul exept the hard BB fans?

I started watching Breaking Bad a month ago because I was bored. Didn't know Better Call Saul existed, I found out by a comment on a RU-vid video two days after finishing Breaking Bad. I'm already in the lastest episode.

Ep 1 and 2 were great

Wouldn’t say it’s better than breaking bad but it’s been better season 4 and 5

Same, I tried it a few years ago and wasn't that into it, started it again recently and it is amazing, can't wait for final season

@@zbanul10 it’s very close between the two of them. Better call Saul’s cinematography and attention to detail is amazing, personally I would still rank bb a little higher, but that may change when this new season comes out

Yes this is a good show better than breaking bad. I hope they bring tuco back for the final season

I’ve loved it since the first time I watched it. Most didn’t get hooked because it’s a character study and a slow burn, unlike BB’s character study who started off with a bang. BCS has provided so much detail to Gus/Mike/Saul and the BB universe that it’s great.

The perfect antihero

@@Ak907Calbomber he isn’t antihero because he isn’t the protagonist.

@@scottblackshaw2843 he's one of the main characters tho. So

That's just the way Vince Gilligan's mind works lol

Still in season 4 Gus visits Hector in the old folks home saying all the Salamancas, except for Hector are now dead. Maybe Lalo just disappears this season who knows.

He mist likely knows somebody tried to take out Lalo in Mexico, and he knows it was nacho that did it that's why he says it was Ignacio

@@mohamoudhassan6934 OR Lalo could turn out not to be a Salamanca by blood, but by honor, since we don't know much about his backstory, this might be the plot twist of season 6

@@gustavocaleman5357 no, he is a salamanca, mostly 70 % of the cartel are salamancas

What's cool is that they were already planning BCS in the early seasons of BB.

@@KristenReneeOsborn Actually they weren't. When BB ended Vince Gilligan dreamed up El Camino. Then he hit on the idea of a BB Prequel and BCS was born. Incidentally, I rewatched El Camino yesterday and it was better than when I first watched it.

@@CB-xr1eg You do realise that bcs came out in 2014 and El Camino was released in 2019 Right?

If we ever get another prequel show based of Gus's life (including how he came to know Max and Peter), I'd be watching ... and I doubt I'd be alone.

@@Coyotek4 Peter?

@@deanadewall8400 The executive from Madrigal that offed himself at the beginning of S5Ep2 of BB

I think he was a high-ranking officer in Pinochet's junta, so most likely responsible for some pretty awful crimes. There's a flashback in season three of BB (the episode which shows Marco and Leonel as squabbling children before one of them almost gets drowned by Hector) where Hector is talking on an early mobile phone (presumably to either Bolsa or Don Eladio) and sarcastically dismisses Fring as a 'dirty South American fry-cook' and a 'big generalissimo'.

@@Coyotek4 Oh. I never thought about that one because of the Lydia stuff, and it seemed pretty self-explanatory. Also, I'm sure he wasn't the only one in the executive branch of Madrigal who was involved.

Pretty sure that's season 2 though.

@@AblemanSy My fault, Season 2. I binge watch BB on Netflix so all the episodes and seasons just blur together ha ha

@@rudeboi6502 Oh, I get it. Especially as season 1 is so short they do blend together.

@@AblemanSy doesn't help that Season 2 starts literally seconds after Season 1

Emmys are just a popularity contest based on marketing. The best shows and performances are often overlooked. Look at how Game of Thrones, a show that is of objectively inferior quality to BCS but far more popular, swept the Emmys while BCS is considered one of the greatest shows by critics and yet consistently overlooked at the Emmys.

@@dimetronome or maybe because Jonathan banks wasn’t the best actor of that year. Your just biased cause you like better call Saul more. It has nothing to do with popularity

@@nd-31570 it has everything to do with popularity. By nearly all measures, Better Call Saul is an objectively better show than Game of Thrones, and it has always received far more critical acclaim. The Emmys (like the Academy Awards) have always been awarded to the shows with the best marketing campaigns, regardless of quality. I say the same thing even when actors and shows I like win, and I would say the same thing even if Jonathan Banks had won that year. That’s just how it is.

Emmys are like Grammys nowadays..both suck

@@dimetronome it's not better than game of thrones.... You can't even compare they are so different... Apples and oranges

One of the reason is Lalo Salamanca. His character is so charismatic. Mix of Oberyn from GOT and Negan from Walking dead.

@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi He's excellent in the role, very compelling. The writers on both shows are amazingly creative. Imo, BB is every bit as good as the Sopranos, if not better.

The landing stuck

Almost? I think its even better!

Whenever it gets too heavy with Gus , I remember Giancarlo did a turn on Sesame Street also. ;)

I can't decide if one is better than the other. Different?

@@artheriford Obviously Breaking Bad is better.

@@apaarshrivastava I like them both. I think BCS is lot darker than BB was, but I think Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are brilliant.

@@artheriford BCS? Darker than BB? Nah.

@@alexanderm.635 Okay. Maybe that was a bit overstated.

Yeah I never realized he was in Beverly Hills Cop until a few months ago when I rewatched the movie

My fav is his bit part in Airplane!

Jonathan Banks has been in everything over the past 40+ years. He was the bad inmate in Stir Crazy, a fellow officer to Nick Nolte in 48 Hours. Great character actor!

@@05gtdriver I’m happy that a guy like him caught a huge break, it shows how good he really is to not only keep steady work but to finally get a chance to shine, and shine he did.

he was nick Nolte cop partner - not a bad guy - The opening scene is one of the best in history - tense

Don't forget El Camino.

I just did, between this last season of BCS. Also rewatched BCS prior to the final season again to get back up to speed. As a result, I agree with many of the comments BCS was a masterpiece, I sure hope something spins off as a result (prequel Mike, Gus, or Lalo... post El camino???).

@@matthewbaulier1229 a Lalo spinoff would be so good. He easily stole the show every time he was on screen

Would you say that this series slaps?

@@roachdoggjr419 Well yeah, the slap that Marie gave to Skyler in episode 10 season 5 was stronger than my slap 😳

But they did show that in the season 1 finale

@@mezykin I was talking about this yt video. In the show we find out that it's true but the yt video didn't talk about it. It was a joke

@@alfa-psi i know. It's means it is.

@@vighnajithnavaneeth8648 The only problem here is the lady with the valley-girl accent narrating it. It makes me second guess my respect for Breaking Bad.

Yeah I did too. Most of mine had red salsa all over them and all of my chips had holes in the middle for some reason

You didn't hate him in breaking bad?

@@fluffypenguins 😂😂😂😂😂

@@fluffypenguins I prob should say hate him more

Also, the lab was the last trace of Ziegler meaning it probably held sentimental value for Mike.

@@fluffypenguins I did not hate Walt untill season 5

The show and the universe within the show always had a brilliant sense of dark humor

Keep in mind Lalo doesn’t need to be around, Saul can still think he is

@@somm150 Good point (as I learned this week).

THIS 100%. Ive been asking for a long time.

So we all know how Saul became practically a criminal himself, maybe Kim didn’t want to be that person and woke up so she divorced Saul because he made her someone she didn’t wanna be in the end, we can already see hints of this being true.

​@@georgettemicallef4868 On the other hand, Kim is the one who presses the scam to get Howard in trouble -- she kind of enjoys it. I can't help but wonder if she eventually becomes a victim in that world, and that her death is the last straw which turns Jimmy McGill into a completely amoral attorney.

They are both confirmed for this season

Have you watched El Camino? Not much Walt in it but plenty of Jesse, also Skinny Pete and Badger.

Peener

weener

Yea you remember when his you to go to the dea station and give them chicken and stuff … Gus had someone working on the inside…

@@leroysmith1622 Hell, the Tuco case was the talk of the station at the time. He could've overheard something and put things together in his first appearance.

Tyrus. Just because we never saw him then doesn't mean he didn't exist.

Gus was a huge donor in the DEA, plus Mike could have found out, he is connected to the cartel so he would have been one of the first to know Tuco died and it’s in the news who did it. Gus already knew that Hank was a relative of Walt because he did research into him before doing business, he even told Walt that at the hospital after Hank was shot.

pervious ASAC of Albuquerque (the man with mustache) was his mole. It is clearly shown in BB that he is obstructing Gus frings interrogation.

I was thinking that too, would like to see the story of Mike's past 🚔 but more likely we'll have a younger actor to play as Mike

I think he turns himself in. Prison is the only place he can freely be “Saul”

There’s nothing reasonable about Lalo. He’ll cut your through just as fast. He just disarms you with a smile… gives you the illusion he can be reasoned with. Hector is a pompous a-hole and Tuco is an unpredictable pitbull… but Lalo? Here comes a guy that makes you think, “you know what? I can do business with this guy.” Then he cuts your throat with a pair of scissors.

What about the two nephews? They just keep coming.

That’s why Lalo is the most dangerous because he’s intelligent. You can always be on guard around the others because you know they can snap but Lalo can plan and find out what you did behind his back if needed.

@@BrandonGavin_EDC Agreed. I don't see Hector or Tuco (as dangerous as they are!) being cunning enough to discover as much about Gus' plans with the superlab construction as Lalo managed to via Ziegler. Lalo absolutely terrifies me.

I think all the Salamanca’s were psychos.

But Mike would of found the gps tracker under the car asap. The gas cap was brilliant and easy to swap and change out

@@davidbright8978 well yeah, that why it was soo good cuz in breaking bad we had no idea how the tracking was being done, we only saw hank and walter use the bulker gps and we didnt know exactly how mike, victor and tyrus were tailing everyone

Jessie and Walter are coming back as well

No one forced Mike to do bad things when he was a cop, he chose to be dirty

Mike just doesn’t care anymore, he was dirty but still still had some semblance of a moral compass on some issues, he doesn’t care if he dies and that’s why he fought that street thug before joining Gus for good. His only mission in life is to make sure his Granddaughter can have everything she ever needs.

if i remember correctly that's because in the beginning mike's role was supposed to be much smaller. He was meant to be a ''clean up'' guy a là Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction. The writers later riconsidered him and got him work for Gus.

@@alfonsocecere Right. That's my point.

I fill the gaps as mike having favours to saul, and thats why he done it despite working for gus. Just like he went to take the photos of chucks house after stealing 250 000 dollars from that truck

eu entendi que ele trabalhava para o gus quando o saul vai apresentar o ww para o gus ele fala que conhece um cara que conhece um cara, algo assim, eu entendi depois que o primeiro cara era o mike

@@zaharaandrade1551 At most you could have presumed that, and it would have been an incorrect presumption because, as stated in another comment, Mike was never intended to appear in the series otherwise and was only working for Saul in that one episode in which he was supposed to appear.

They have confirmed a Walter and jesse cameo in the final series

I don't think Kim will die. I think she will get caught in some scam against Howard and end up losing her law license and moving out of New Mexico back to Nebraska.

@@davidgriffin14 If that was the case i think Jimmy would go with her. He really loves her.

@@Georgia7Pap or does he love being Saul more?

@@Georgia7Pap he can't practice law in another state.

They stupid

I'm thinking she cons Jimmy.

When and where is she mentioned?

😭😭😭

watchmojo cashing in on the season 6 hype train, if they waited on releasing the video it would not be as popular.

@@catherineflores5025 True, (and btw love your avatar) but they're gunna miss alot more of these "questions" by doing this before the series ended.

I hope the music would be better. In the movie it sucked

@@marksaguindel1903 even got Razzie nomination

Could have been from a rifle like a mile away, couldn’t hear it that far away. As far as the meter I think that was to show the depth of Chucks madness. It was an illusion too him.

Lmaoooo I was wondering where I saw him before

That's my biggest question.

oof

Are you caught up on BCS? That question has been answered.

@@shoesan yeah I saw and that sucks
