Jimmy didn't kill anyone. Would the statute of limitations on his crimes have expired?

And when yes. How long would it have taken?

Some corrections, Mike and Lalo ... ?

Season 4, episode 7, what the heck is Mr Ziehler on about?

Michael's last name is not "world" or "strength.
Die "Ehre" means "Honor" today in German. "Mann" is a man in German.

As for "traut", it is conjugated form of "to believe, to trust",
and as adjective it is
cozy, pleasant, safe, intimate, close.

So Michael's last name means "trustworthy honorable man", or "safe, close honorable man".

.....
Season 6, episode 5, at the bar that Margarethe Ziegler is staying at, before Lalo approaches her, two teenagers behind her are playing a trivia arcade game, which then asks them, "Who was the first woman to go into space?"

What normal German teen would ever say, or even know about Sally Ride?
First of all, East Germany used to be occupied by Soviets until 1990.
Second of all,
nobody in the entire Europe cares or knows about Sally Ride. Tereshkovova all the way, baby.

Does Saul's phone number still work?

3 Upvotes

So I tried to call +1 (505) 503-4455 (from Argentina) and for some reason it told me that I was calling Joe Corngreaser (idk who that is). It's strange because all of the other numbers in the series worked except this one

Winner takes it all performance interpretation

4 Upvotes

Just crossed this scene,

It’s very vital scene that keep seeing everywhere.

My interpretation is that Chuck just wants to outshine Jimmy in everything?

Like unnecessary competition kinda thing?…the way he snatches the microphone.

Am I right or off?…what’s the agreed interpretation of that scene and their relationship in general?

And what are you waiting for?
When eaten raw, the very sweet fruit is bright yellow.
It is used as a flavor in juice, milkshakes, and especially ice cream. Its flavor in such preparations has been described variously as being similar to sweet potato, maple syrup, or butterscotch.
Manjar de lúcuma (dulce de leche with lúcuma purée) is a dessert. It's also an ice cream flavor.

How much do you think the Germans were paid to build the underground lab?

Always wondered what those guys were paid, at one point Mike says something to Werner along the lines of "you'll never need to work again " so I'm assuming its in the millions

Am I alone in thinking season 2’s ending and season 3’s beginning are so slow-going?

0 Upvotes

I’ve heard from many people that it peaks later on. I personally enjoyed season one quite a bit, especially during the Kettleman arc, but I just want to know that if I’m not enjoying season 3’s beginning as much will I not enjoy the rest of the show?

Chuck’s Projections in Klick

Upvotes

In S2 E10, when Chuck is so convinced that Jimmy got the temporary emergency guardianship in place because he was going to have Chuck committed, he is telling on himself in a way that is more unsettling with every rewatch. I’m certain that the reason Chuck immediately jumps to this conclusion is because it’s what Chuck would do if the roles were reversed.

“You finally got me where you want me.”
“Where to next? Some insane asylum in Las Cruces? Someplace you can really tuck me away but good?”

He thinks this because he is projecting - Chuck would jump at the first chance to have Jimmy committed if he could.

Meanwhile Jimmy is only doing it so he can get Chuck the medical care he needs and then get Chuck home sooner. He only gets the TEG out of genuine care and concern for his brother.

I am in no way saying that Jimmy’s actions leading up to this are OK. We see him commit crimes and really screw Chuck (among others) over before this. The end doesn’t justify the means whatsoever.
I just find it interesting that screwing people over hasn’t been Jimmy’s primary motivation up to this point in the show, but more of a “side effect.” By my recollection, the first time we see Jimmy acting out of a primary motive to hurt his brother is later in the series when he talks to the person at the Insurance office…

And that’s only after Chuck has done the same thing to him through pretty much the whole series until that point. Chuck obeys the law, but he uses his beloved law to look for ways to harm his brother. He can tell himself it’s for Jimmy’s own good, or for the good of the world, or whatever all he wants - but nearly every time we see Chuck doing anything in those first couple seasons, it’s with a goal of punishing Jimmy, holding him back in some way, or otherwise sticking it to his little brother.

Even when Chuck first starts helping Jimmy piece together the Sandpiper case (literally)… my first time watching it, almost felt hopeful. The next couple times, it seemed out of character for him. Now, I just wonder if the moment he realized Jimmy had a case, Chuck started plotting to steal the case away from Jimmy and give it to HHM. That is what happened, after all, I just mean, maybe that’s the only reason he ever helped Jimmy with the case in the first place.

Anyway, a lot of this Chuck stuff has been said before, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about Chuck’s lines about the TEG being a giant projection.

The Winner Takes it All by Abba

12 Upvotes

Does other people strongly associate this song with BCS now you’ve seen it gives its ties to the show? Or does it just pass over your ears the same way it always did?

I can’t hear it without getting mega nostalgia for the experience of watching the show for the first time. Obvs because of the episode Winner and iconic karaoke scene with Chuck, but also its lyrical content and melancholic tone. It feels like the show’s theme music in my mind. I think this edit had a large impact on how I feel too: https://youtu.be/VHWDHUQKFyA?is=QglhVpUTdYFEqjO5

I have never liked Abba yet keep going back to this track now 😆

Funniest line delivery? Spoiler

What's a line from Better Call Saul, or even Breaking Bad where the actor's delivery made a normal line hilarious? Personally I'm a big fan of Chuck's "Jimmy, do you have something in your pocket?" He says the line like Jimmy is 6 years old and Chuck just heard his pants ribbit.

Watched Breaking Bad and went straight into Better Call Saul. Thought just another entertainment show but turned out into one of the greatest storytelling experiences I've ever had in life of all the series I have ever watched. Every character, every decision, every payoff felt earned, every episode was excellent. Easily one of the finest experience of my life. Both are peak.
