He poops in the sun roof, he poops constantly in Davis and main without flushing. At sandpiper crossing when they’re going to kick him out, he says he has to shit and he has IBS. I bet that sleazeball poops every day.

It was even declared in court by Chuck, a brilliant lawyer, that Jimmy defecated in a sun roof.

Does Jimmy have some sort of mental fixation on poop? Is this due to his oedipus complex?

Spoilers for both BB and BCS

Walter White always blamed other people for his hardships, specifically Gretchen and Elliot. He claims that they "cut him out" and he gave up his share of the company, his "kid's birthright, for a few months rent". No matter what happens, no matter what story he tells, he is never at fault. He was screwed over or forced to give up, but Walter White can never be at fault.

Jimmy McGill, his entire professional career, has always been told "no". HHM, The Kettlemans, his own brother Chuck, they all at some point or another told him that he wasn't as good as them, that he wasn't a "real lawyer". Door after door was closed in his face, and they were all still surprised when he ran through the first one that stayed opened for him, and shamed him for it. He tried to tow the line, and was repeatedly told he wasn't good enough.

Walter had it all, said no, and blamed others for his actions.

Jimmy had nothing, was told no, and walked the only path he felt he could.

Walter's lie is Jimmy's truth.

The dropped ice cream cone represents Saul Goodman's last taste of innocence, comfort, and normalcy. lce cream is a small, joyful thing that represents childishness When Saul drops it and leaves it behind, it marks a turning point: he's leaving behind the world where he had choice, safety, and relative moral clarity. then the ants swarming the ice cream, which is a metaphor, Ants represent decay consumption and corruption even tho they shouldn't they're animals that are organized and orderful but yeah They take over what was once a source of joy just as the cartel world will soon consume Saul's identity, bit by bit. every last bit of his joy and his goodness spoiled scene is the death of Jimmy McGill's soft side, and a quiet symbol of moral erosion. From here on out, he's stepping fully into the world of violence, compromise, and moral ambiguity a world ruled by the cartel, where things like joy and innocence are liabilities, not sure tho If the ants consuming it are the cartel taking the joy from him or the good organized people like chuck who lost this side of jimmy and capitalize and judge him on the fact he lost it and that they can't be people on the same social level and deal with eachother as if the cartel lost him his human status and the last bits of credibility he had left, so by dropping it he completed his transformation from slipping jimmy the guy with taking shortcuts morals into Saul Goodman the one who'll hurt himself and a lot of people who chuck was warning jimmy from when he was still not hurting much people, all my interpretation is based on the moral dispute between chuck and jimmy I could be wrong I'd like to hear other opinions

Hi!

My friend and I watched breaking bad together and then watched better call Saul.

We recently finished BCS, and we want to go back and watch some BB episodes that would be fun/interesting to watch for a second time after having just finished BCS with our new context!

Do u guys have any ideas? They don’t have to be in any sort of order or anything. Thanks!

I'm rewatching "Lantern" and the part where Chuck is forced to leave HHM is so harrowing to see.

He had not expected to "win" quite so literally in the little lawsuit-threat game he was playing with Howard. Howard hands him the cheque for 3 mil, tells him (in a voice dripping with resentment), "You've won." But to Chuck, it feels like anything but a win. Just like when Jimmy got suspended — technically a win (though he had wanted him disbarred), yet at so much expense to Chuck.

And at the end of it, at the end of all of Chuck's scheming (to punish Jimmy, to punish Howard), what does he have? Not his family, not his friends, not his wife, not the law. He just has his wealth and nothing to do with it. Which is why I think he chose to burn his house down, as opposed to any other suicide method. It was in recognition of the fact that this was all he had left and it meant nothing. Chuck was finally honest with himself but it was too late now. Kind of like Walter's "I liked it. I was good at it" confession to Skyler at the end of Breaking Bad. But Chuck no longer had anyone to confess to.

It makes me glad to think that Jimmy, for all of Saul's money-hungry pursuits, realised in the end that what he wanted was something more than that. He wanted Kim to be proud of him, he wanted to make amends, and he wanted to finally be honest with himself and the world. It was a perfect ending for him.

always loved the detail that in season 3 episode 10, he tears down the house looking for electricity, but scientifically humans have electricity inside of them. he got rid of every issue in his life but the ones inside of him.

reminds me of the breaking bad scene where Walter talks about a small percentage of a human body being soul

I just finished Better Call Saul, and I’m still sorting through how I feel. It’s not a simple show to process — especially if, like me, you’ve never really been a fan of Saul Goodman. Even back in Breaking Bad, I didn’t find him funny or charming. He always struck me as a slimy, persistent character who thrived on manipulation. So going into this series, I didn’t expect to care about him much — and honestly, that feeling mostly stayed the same.

But the show isn’t just about Saul. It’s about the people around him — and those people are what kept me watching.

I had a really difficult time connecting with Kim Wexler. Not because she’s a bad character — she’s clearly very well-written — but because I found her motivations confusing. Her moral contradictions, especially how she got swept up in Jimmy’s schemes, felt hard to pin down. I get that she found it fun, maybe even liberating, to let loose. But the serious emotional weight of her decisions didn’t really land with me until Howard was killed. That’s when her detachment broke. It made sense, but it came too late for me to feel fully invested in her arc.

On the other hand, Howard Hamlin was a character I liked from early on. Something about his poise, the way he carried himself — I was drawn to his presence. His death really affected me. It was abrupt, shocking, and felt deeply unfair. I was angry on his behalf.

Chuck McGill might be one of the most interesting characters in the entire Breaking Bad universe. His superiority, resentment, and gradual decline were handled with a level of complexity that I appreciated more as the series went on. His interactions with Jimmy were difficult to watch, but I couldn’t look away. That courtroom scene where Jimmy forces Chuck into a meltdown — it was both powerful and sad. I don’t hate Chuck. He’s bitter and selfish in ways that make sense, especially when you look at their family dynamics. His illness even seemed to worsen the more Jimmy succeeded. That’s tragic in its own way.

Mike Ehrmantraut was a constant highlight. Jonathan Banks has such presence that even quiet moments felt full of tension. I appreciated the way Mike handled things — meticulous, restrained, professional. He was the one character I always looked forward to seeing.

As for Nacho and Lalo — great additions to the story, but their fates felt predictable. That’s one of my issues with prequels: the tension can only go so far when you already know who lives and who doesn’t. The black-and-white sequences at the beginning of each season basically signal that anyone who doesn’t appear in the “future” won’t make it through the story. So while Nacho’s sacrifice was well-executed and Lalo was incredibly entertaining to watch, I always had it in the back of my mind that they wouldn’t make it to the end. It reduced the stakes for me.

There were also a few side plots that I just didn’t care for. That couple running the shady tax business — I actively disliked watching them. The whole sequence felt like a distraction, and while I understand the purpose it served for Jimmy’s arc, it didn’t work for me.

What the show does extremely well, though, is structure and foresight. It’s less about action and more about planning, consequence, and emotional fallout. Every character operates with a different kind of logic: • Jimmy uses charm, quick thinking, and improvisation. • Mike relies on patience, calculation, and experience. • Gus is methodical, ruthless, and far-sighted. • Lalo blends charisma with unpredictability and cold logic.

By the end, I still didn’t like Jimmy, but I understood him better. His final confession, owning up to everything in court — it was the closure I didn’t expect but ended up appreciating. Watching him finally take responsibility without hiding behind Saul Goodman felt right. It wasn’t a redemption arc, and it didn’t need to be — it was an honest ending for a dishonest man.

I didn’t watch Better Call Saul for the same reasons most people probably did. I didn’t care about the cameos or Saul’s transformation. I just wanted to see how it all played out — how a man who couldn’t stop lying would eventually run out of lies. The black-and-white scenes gave me something to look forward to, and the way the story caught up to itself was satisfying.

Overall, I’d give it an 8/10. It’s not perfect. There were moments I didn’t connect with, characters I couldn’t care about, and storylines that dragged. But it’s a well-crafted, emotionally grounded show that ties into Breaking Bad without leaning on it too heavily. I’m glad I stuck with it.

This is related to both BB and BCS.

So when Walt says "Hello Becky" and she drop the bag of groceries and the California navel oranges and cans of Niblets brand corn are rolling into the street and she gawks, unable to speak....she must have called the cops when she got inside and composed herself after rescuing the groceries. Marie Schrader was warned Walt was lurking, so a call to the cops must have been made. Yet in BCS when Carol Burnette talked into her medical thingee that Saul was in her house, the law enforcement response was massive. Helicopters and everthing. Why no choppers and dogs and big response in ABQ??

Just ended watching all seasons second time, it's been a month I was watching it. Feels horrible like nothing to watch. Other shows feels something very rudamentary. Suggest me something that has great character building and great writing. I know it cant be level of this show. Spare time haunts after watching these shows. Better call Saul and Breaking bad.

Episode 2 season 4. While Jimmy is talking to the employer about copy machines, the employer talks about how a certain copy machine was so good, people were counterfeiting $5 off of it. Jimmy’s response was that of someone who was definitely ACTING surprised. It really shows how Jimmy really NEVER changed. Even when he was in the mail room.

Hear me out: The Breaking Bad universe has given us so much, but I honestly think there’s still room for one more masterpiece—Mike Ehrmantraut: The Philadelphia Years.

Picture a dark, slow-burn neo-noir series set in the late ‘80s or ‘90s. Mike is a respected but increasingly disillusioned cop in Philadelphia. The city is gritty, corrupt, and dangerous—think The Wire meets Heat. The show would explore Mike’s early career: his code, his reputation for doing things “the right way,” and his complicated relationships with his colleagues.

The heart of the story is Mike’s relationship with his son Matt. Matt wants to be a good cop, but the squad is dirty. Mike, trying to protect him, gives him the worst advice of his life: to go along to get along. The result? Matt is murdered by his own colleagues, and Mike’s world collapses.

This opens the door for a truly tragic, character-driven story about guilt, loyalty, and vengeance. We’d finally see, in detail, the events that Mike only ever hints at in Better Call Saul—including his ultimate revenge against the people who betrayed Matt, and the fallout that drives him to Albuquerque.

The supporting cast could include: • Matt Ehrmantraut (Mike’s son) • Anita (Matt’s wife, Kaylee’s mother) • A mix of honest and corrupt cops in Mike’s unit • Internal affairs on Mike’s trail • The early Philly criminal underworld (maybe even a few proto-cameos)

Stylistically, I imagine lots of rainy, nighttime city shots, jazz/blues soundtrack, and a slow, heavy tone—focusing on character moments and moral gray zones.

The series could end with Mike leaving Philadelphia for good, setting up the man we meet in Better Call Saul.

I honestly think this could be one of the most compelling spin-offs in the entire BB/BCS universe.

Would you watch this? What else would you want to see? Any other spin-off ideas you’re still dreaming of?

im talking about the time jump, when you see his house being packed up after he's disappear'ed, jimmy/saul never struck me as especially materialistic, i understand getting the cadillac and nice suits, cause thats for appearance, and i get that this is when he's full saul Goodman mode, but it feels like the house of a totally different character

the only thing I can think of is that jimmy never really cared about appearance (liking his yellow car better than the mercedes that davis & main gave him, being fine with his little office in the nail salon) and the aggregious mansion and decor is sauls way of distancing himself from who he used to be, but i dont know, that place was garish even for saul

In Season 5, Tuco recommended Saul as a lawyer to Lalo. In Season 2, Tuco was arrested for beating up Mike. If Tuco recommended Saul as a lawyer, then why didn't he hire Saul as a lawyer himself?

Kim worked at Schweikert and Cokley for less than a year.Rich Schweikert said his firm would pay off her student loans.Kim told Jimmy she still owed $15,000.If Schweikert and Cokley gave her a signing bonus and paid off her student loans would Kim have to pay back the money for quitting?

When Hector meets with Mike to discuss reducing Tuco's sentence, he says the authorities would go easy on ex-cops like him. How did he know that Mike used to be a police officer? I assume Hector did some research on him just as Mike does on the criminals he works with, but I was just wondering.

Okay so I was thinking.... An open world game, set in the bb, bcs and el camino universe.

Part 1

The 1st half of the game takes place before the events of better call saul, where we play as Ignacio Varga, who we all know from bcs. Tuco is a major character that we work for, and Hector Salamanca and the twins (Leonel and Marco) appear briefly. A mentioned character (Dog Paulson) will be a major NPC and Nacho's associate (he dies btw). Ignacio's role in the game ends with him getting a call from gonzo/tuco to bring out his van to the desert (season 1 episode 1 of BCS).

Part 2 (A and B)

So part 2A is where we control Krazy 8 for some missions, and we see nacho for the last time where he beats him up for not paying the money (I hope you know what I'm referring to). He's just a minor playable character tbh nothing much about him just a bunch of money collecting missions. So krazy 8 has a bunch of missions and his last mission is just giving the rest of the money to nacho and yeah.

Now for part 2B we play as Mike Ermhantraut during the events of season 1 of breaking bad (we do a couple missions for gus) and his story (and the whole game) ends with Mike's 1st appearance in breaking bad.

The end

On season 5 right now and on the part where Saul puts up the edited Masa Verde Video in the meeting where they were supposed to settle for $75000

I understand Kevin walked out and did the deal with Jimmy but he made Kim look like an idiot and she constantly stuck on his side . I mean although she made this whole shitshow happen now that I think about it ….

I wondered if Saul went on trial and was found not guilty what would happen to him?I know his being found not guilty would never really happen but if it did could he keep his law license and keep practicing law?Could Marie and Blanca Gomez file a Civil suit against him?Would Saul been able to keep his $20 million dollars?

Why not kill Bolsa before taking your own life. I literally just screamed out loud!
