Better Call Saul Season 4

Loving this season. So far, it’s been more about Nacho/Mike/Gus then Jimmy and Kim.

Which makes me think there is some major stuff about to go down with Jimmy.

And dammit Mike is a great character.

 

Something I didn't know until I just looked up it: Mando is from Quebec (though he's of Mexican descent). His native language is French, so he's working in his second and third languages on BCS.

 

Lots of great acting all around and some damn fine directing, too. The legal angle re: Kim is a snoozer, but that's the only knock.

Frankly I'm surprised Kim's not hooked on pain pills yet, closing the loop between Jimmy and the cartels. I bet that's coming.

 

I also think Kim is headed for a collapse of some sort. The show is building to it slowly, showing her getting slack in her work and looking in dread as the Mesa Verde guy explains their expansion plans.

 

Totally. Kim's downfall (maybe death) is what leads to full-blown Saul. They've been telegraphing it for a while.

 

I mean, what happens to Kim is the real mystery of BCS, since she's clearly not around for Breaking Bad.

 

Nacho is never in Breaking Bad, either. His fate isn't as important to the overall arc of the two series as Kim's, of course, but the deeper they dive into his character the more I dread seeing what eventually happens to him.

 

In Breaking Bad, Saul at one point says "It wasn't me it was Ignacio." I don't know if he was referring to Nacho or not.

 

Yeah, his first appearance when Jesse and Walt take him to the desert to perhaps kill him.

 

Nacho is not in Breaking Bad? True?

 

Is true. Like Jake_Taylor mentioned, there's one passing reference to someone who might or might not be (but most likely is) him, but he's out of the picture by then.

 

Well, we finally saw Jimmy as Saul Goodman
