Better Call Saul Season 6 thread (with spoilers)

So, we tried to watch BCS via on demand on the cable and then via AMC app on Roku. Both places only had the most recent episodes. Is this a thing now? Are they expecting me to buy the AMC+ service to be able to watch the earlier episodes of this last season?

 

This week's episode title is "Breaking Bad."
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is where Walt and Jesse show up.

 

Carol Burnett was great.

 

This episode was almost as heartbreaking as Fun and Games. It's obvious that Jimmy/Saul/Gene will not only not get the happy ending, he won't let himself have it. Whatever was said in that phone booth broke him for good. A lot of things got broken in this episode, matter of fact. Both literally and metaphorically. The episode title was way more than an allusion to the parent series and those long-awaited cameos.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen that episode of Breaking Bad. Those were all new scenes inside the Winnebago, and not recycled clips, right?

Also, nice of them to wrap up a ton of loose-end storylines with one exposition-filled phone call.

 

What an episode.

Saul will wind up jailed, starting from his actions at the end of this episode. He'll be the only one from Breaking Bad in prison. He was introduced kind of as a goof, kind of to add a bit of humor back in. Similar fate as Ronnie Gardocki from The Shield.

And Gene has become nastier than Saul and Jimmy ever were. Jimmy's schemes were mostly low-stakes larks. You can rationalize Saul as that criminal defense lawyer is a legit field. Don't know all what he does for Walt, but Gene drawing all these common men into his escapades is bad. Ruining their lives. They will turn on him. Carol Burnett's character will be devastated. And police will connect him back to Albuquerque, where his former secretary flips on him.

Saul will also confess to knowing what happened to Howard Hamlin. He will leave behind a trail of destruction.

Final episode will be his trial, defended by the guy they said flipped to the other side. We'll get a final close up of him posing for a mug shot. Maybe final scene of Kim reading the news of his imprisonment and lining one of her store's terrariums with the paper.

The Franchesca call was amazing. We still don’t know who he told her to call and say “Jimmy sent you” though, big loose end.

I dont get Mike saying Heisenberg is small potatoes and leave him alone. Was he lying for Gus? Surely by that time in the BB timeline he’d already been tasked with finding the pure blue meth’s origin?

 

This show is so in love with itself. I'm happy they find so much joy in masturbating all over a TV script.

 

They guy parks his car on the street and the next scene he is in the driveway..

 

New scenes. You could tell because Jesse looked (and sounded) about 50 years old.

 

As I said...

Carol Burnett's character will be the one who brings him down. My guess is she listened in on the conversation in the garage and called the cops.
