Better Call Saul (AMC) TV Show • Page 79

The world and characters they’ve created with this show is so good I don’t mind basking in it a little longer.

 

Lol yeah, idk where anybody is in a rush to go

 

I think it’s become less “exciting” since Nacho died and there’s less cartel and crime shit. It’s not bad, just kind of different. I know the plot line with Howard is leading to something, but it still just feels odd.

the dude who plays Lalo is charismatic as fuck but I still can’t feel like Lalo as a villain is basically a cartoon character. He feels lot of place in the show

 

ngl lalo is easily the least cartoony feeling salamanca to me

 

He's the Salamanca who smiles the most. He's very cartoony in my opinion. lol. Didn't he break into a western union a couple seasons ago and it was like the most slapstick shit in the entire series? Or did I just dream that?

 

It's gonna be fun in here when huge stuff goes down in Monday's episode lol

 

Was curious how the directing duties were being handled for the finale so I looked it up. Gilligan directed episode 12, Gould directed the series finale.

 

Yeah its been picked apart, but he does like some sort of physics defying jump up into the ceiling tiles and then back down on the other side of the counter in like 3 seconds somehow

 

Apparently they didn’t know the season was gonna be split up when they wrote it so I’m not sure Monday’s episode is gonna be as massive as
some are hoping for. But they’ve clearly been holding stuff back the last few episodes to create more payoff for the Howard stuff so you gotta imagine SOMETHING big happens on “D-day”

 

We're going to watch Kim try to force "D-Day" to happen on Monday so that alone should be pretty eventful.

 

The closer we get to the end, the more worried I get for Kim. Just seeing her career implode would be heartbreaking.

 

I think they said there is still an inadvertent cliffhanger in the mid-season finale so we’ll see. Not expecting anything devastating but I will be happy to be wrong there.

 

Once they learned the season would be split, there’s a reason why they chose to end the first half with the next episode instead of with this week’s. Kim pulling that u-turn and abandoning her pitch meeting could’ve been a serviceable mid-season cliffhanger but they decided to do one more episode instead. There’s a reason they did that instead of opening the second half with next week’s episode.

 

I'm working on a new movie with Rhea for all ya'll to keep your eye out for

I’m loving this season. Idk!

 

I’m fine with them dialing back on the past couple episodes. The Nacho episode was sooooo good.

 

I don’t know enough about how TV is made for this to be anything more than conjecture, but I wonder if they shuffled stuff around to create the mid-season cliffhanger. Like, bringing the Howard stuff forward at the expense of Lalo.
There’s a Nacho-sized hole that you would have expected them to fill with Lalo but he’s basically barely been in it.

 

Awesome! She needs to be in all the things!

 

I don’t want them to fill in the Nacho hole with
more cartel stuff! That side of the show is never as interesting! I do think they’ve been dragging their heels a bit with the Howard stuff. But I’d still rather watch that than basically anything else.

 

See I like the cartel stuff more I think.

 

What happened to that latte traumatized me more than Hank's death

 

this show is fucking so good

hopefully the howard plotline pays out next episode

 

Regardless of how this season was written (IE no intention of splitting it), the way the last few episodes have gone, are pointing to this being a culmination of a few threads so I expect it to be faster paced and pretty impactful in the overall arc our of dear leads. I'm worried for Howard and the more I think about how little Jimmy has cared about his brothers death, the more I have sympathy for him and hope he's not done too poorly (IE jail or death).

 

Yeah I'm A-OK with no cliffhanger, but I still fully anticipate something being called D-Day to bring about some interesting consequences for some of the characters.
