    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

I think the series ends with Jimmy getting caught and confesses to all the crimes he committed including the ones he did with Kim against Howard. This will result in Kim getting released, and Jimmy goes to jail for the rest of his life but is satisfied knowing that he made one final sacrifice for Kim and doesn’t have to live in fear of being caught anymore.

    3:29 I love Jonathan Banks' delivery of "I was" there. Mike left Philly and that part of his life behind, moved across the country to ABQ hoping to find peace, yet somehow he found himself entangled in the criminal underground once again. Full of defeat and burnout, the last thing that kept this man going was the well being of his family.

    In hindsight, this really was a Chekhov's gun moment. You don't setup the idea of Lalo reappearing in Kim's life, unless you want it to pay off and actually happen.
    The twist was, Mike wasn't there to protect them when the moment finally came, unlike the sense of omnipresent security he exudes during this scene.

      Personally, I think his tone of voice is somewhere between depression and envy. Mike's job is gritty and grim, a life filled with a gangster's errands that constantly has him looking over his shoulder for either the police, or the warring factions of the underworld he's sunk back into. But, he's also mourning Nacho here, the young man who got himself into a mess he didn't understand, like his son. I think up until that moment, he was managing the gangster's life well, but the final, "I was" shows the regret.
      Contrast that with Jimmy and Kim's life - lovers with somewhat cushy careers, running what Mike at this point would call a "game" on the side before he finds out the scope of their meddling mess. In a way, I think Mike would swap his position with hers in a heartbeat at this moment.
      He just sounded exhausted, dragging himself along the road he's chose because there's nothing more for him to do.

    The moment at 2:35 when Mike says, “Because you are made of sterner stuff” and the reaction of Kim towards this statement is simply excellent acting. She had been pushing and facing so much difficulties and without any recognition, especially from Jimmy. Then, when a supposedly nobody (Mike) recognises her mettle, it breaks her. You can see it in the way she takes in an instant gulp of breath and through her eyes.

    Looking at this scene in hindsight, Mike made a huge mistake, the same mistake that everyone else did (including us) by trusting in Kimmy more than Jimmy.
    He thought that Kimmy is braver and will handle the Lalo situation better than Jimmy (because he heard about what happened when Lalo visited their apartment for the first time) while Jimmy is an emotional trainwreck coward who won’t handle the cartel things really well (because of their experience in the desert) when in reality, things turned out to be the opposite. Kimmy was so caught up with the con against Howard so much that she took ZERO precautions to Lalo’s return and she chose not to tell Jimmy about this because not only Jimmy will freak out, but Jimmy will also stop the con on Howard and put saving themselves from Lalo as first priority. Kimmy didn’t want any of that. She wanted the con to come to fruition and now we all know what happened. Now we all know that the consequences escalated big time.
    Mike’s distrust on Jimmy will also be his biggest mistake in the future, because not trusting Jimmy causing Mike to hire someone else to take care of his money. With a little threat from the DEA, that lawyer ended up ratting on Mike which led to a series of events ending with Mike’s death without giving a single penny to his family.

    He knows she does shady things with Jimmy and both are smart, but her "I DO know you!" move was just stupid, considering she has no clue with whom she's dealing with (cartell henchman).

    This diner's name was an easter egg for another Breaking Bad spin-off.

      And when Kim asks who Mike works for, a chicken is seen on the door, referring to Gus.

    Such a perfect scene. Mike being scary and reassuring at the same time.

    The actor that plays Mike is awesome. He can be threatening and the same time be kind. Man thats hard to do it !!

    That SHUDDER Rhea gives as Mike leaves is priceless. If this lady doesn't win an EMMY award, the game is rigged.

    This is EXACTLY the moment where the courthouse parking attendant was revealed to have been Mike all along. The writing is unreal, Vince Gilligan is truly a genius!

      Gilligan would be the first to say that BCS has been more Peter Gould's baby than his, though.

    This reveal is Better Call Saul’s version of when Walt visited Skyler and he was hidden off camera.

    To me, one of the great scenes from this show. Has everything, respect, admiration, courage, and acknowledgment. Two wonderful actors at the top of their game, interpreting a well written scene!

    It just struck me how many characters/actors, whenever they are present, give unbelievable weight to a scene.
