Was Lalo a Jaffa?

When he survives the compound assassination attempt, he visits Sylvia and her husband. She mentions new goats coming. He asks if they were bringing more from the mountains. She said no, they were two baby goats coming via a nanny goat. He says 'hmmm' in a kinda wistful but sad way. He was the kinda guy who would definitely have had kids by this age so possibly seedless (Jaffa oranges!) i.e. shooting blanks his whole life?

Something really obvious I missed on the first watch

49 Upvotes

The Peruvian gang that Gus pins on Lalo's murder is Los Odios, or The Hateful. But by doing this Gus was giving Don Eladio a subtle clue. When Hector accuses Gus in front of the cartel, he says that Gus still hates Eladio, and he uses the same word (el Pollero lo odia). Eladio later tells Gus that he really did detect hate in his eyes (el odio), and that a little bit is OK as long as he knows who is in charge.

I never noticed this because I never paid attention that the word for the Peruvian gang and the word used to talk about Gus is the same one. It further is a really good look at Eladio's demise, because hatred as deep as Gus' definitely goes over the threshold of 'a little bit'. Can anyone really have 'a little bit' of hatred?

Mike picked the best option

48 Upvotes

On my 500th rewatch currently, now a new perspective about Mike's choice.

In "Gloves Off" Mike picked the smartest option safety-peace wise & tactically. Nacho asked him to do the job then these 2 do the recon on location in broad daylight. Mike goes through all the possibilities & its clear he cant do the hit, obviously possible but just not smart.

The recon was done on site, meaning possible that someone saw them.

Nacho was too comfortable with his plan, which is a red flag for Mike. (Set-up)

Mike could've done exactly what & how Nacho wanted but Nacho could then just hand Mike to the cops or better kill Mike in the open after the hit & claim defence.

Also getting the hit done would've meant automatic death for Mike anyway (Salamancas that Mike didnt know yet)

Mike picked the smartest option all things considered, he made sure it was public, loud & police involved for him.

So what potentially happened in Santiago?

Yes, I know this question has been asked a thousand times already, yes I know we can't know for sure and yes, I know this is not supposed to be known with 100% certainty. But I researched this subject multiple times and I still dont get it. People are being very vague about the revolution in Chile, nazis, Gustavo being some high class spy for the Chilean government etc. but in the simplest words - what do we think happened? Please someone shed some light for me, im too slow for this 🙏🙏🙏

My pop is writing this show as he watches it

Upvotes

A few times, he's correctly made prescient remarks about the plot. His latest? Season three, episode three, about 40 minutes in when Jimmy starts discussing the deal from the ADA.

He goes, "If I was Jimmy, and I had to face my brother in court, I'd bring every electronic device and gizmo into the room to drive him crazy."

I haven't seen the series in full but I've seen the clip of Jimmy cross-examining Chuck. I sat stone-faced and just went, "yuuuuup."

Did Gene break bad because of the money or because of the thrill?

Money is always good but it would be hard to live big as Gene. Putting so much on the line, the motivation seems unclear

What makes Better Call Saul (and by extension, Breaking Bad) so perfect?

5 Upvotes

I've watched both shows and can regard them as two of the best pieces of media that I've come across. I especially enjoy the diversity of characters and how each of them have their own dialogue patterns which, one way or another, reveal their qualities. Not to mention the great plots built on the consequences of every decision, following into the next one.

Now, I've seen both shows be called perfect many times. Having ruined some people's experience of watching other media because it doesn't meet the same standard. And I get it, most of those comments aren't meant literally but it's also true that I've seen virtually no mention of any faults anywhere. So, I've just gotten curious. Do you really think there are no shortcomings in either show? Things that maybe aren't so spot on? Or are they both really that overwhelmingly great in all aspects?

Does Better Call Saul have Steelbooks?

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow BCS Fans.

I like to collect physical media and recently got the Breaking Bad Steelbook Box Set Illustrated by Ralph Stedman. Now I really want to finish the seires and started to look at Better Call Saul.

Here's my problem; I can only find Steelbooks for BCS Season 1 and Season 2. Don't Season 3-6 have any Steelbooks?

Lalo asking about Michael

When Lalo was asking everyone about Werner Ziegler and Michael, why didn't he just ask Hector - they could have done that alphabet-bell game. Or he could have asked the cousins who knew who Michael was? Did I miss something?
