  • Hi, today we’re answering some quote unquote unanswered questions for Better Call Saul. These are questions I don’t anticipate being answered by the end of the series. Mostly just because I don’t think they’re overly relevant really. They were always meant to be things the audience fills in themselves. I’ve gotten a bunch of comments though on things like how Saul got the black or book, or the statue of liberty. So, today that’s what we’re doing, we’re filling in the gaps based on what we know.
    Hope you enjoy!

    I think Mike’s face as he looked down on Howard and Lalo’s grave says a lot about how his perspective towards Jimmy has shifted. He never particularly liked Jimmy, but he treated him much better, saved his life, gave him advice, and generally just cooperated better with him up to this point. That’s because Mike saw some good in Jimmy and had a basic level of respect for him. But after Jimmy framed Howard, an innocent bystander who was never “in the game,” and indirectly got him killed, Mike couldn’t look at him the same. He could’ve grown to like Jimmy, and I think he cared about him in some ways, but he hates Saul. Mike treats Saul like a different person because as far as he’s concerned, that’s the truth. Kim leaving Jimmy and his subsequent transformation into a full blown crooked criminal lawyer pretty much solidified Mike’s newfound perspective that Saul Goodman isn’t good for anything other than being a means to an end. As pointed out in the video, that’s all they see each other as now. It’s kinda sad to think about, since I do believe that Mike and Jimmy are both good people buried under years of trauma which have lead to many bad choices. Jimmy looked up to Mike as the cool, supportive older brother he wanted Chuck to be. But as always, Jimmy’s downward spiral into Saul turns people away and gradually leads to them despising him.

      Disagree completely - I think Mike doesn't respect what Jimmy and Kim have done to Howard but he would not believe it is their fault that Howard died - it is only Howard's fault. I think he is just sad in general to see Howard, who is innocent and decent, die. He is exhausted by the end of BCS with all the Nacho and Lalo stuff.

      @@yesmate3442 I have seen many arguments whether Jimmy and Kim are actually responsible for Howard's death but the fact is Howard would still be alive if they didn't target him. For Mike every person killed that wasn't part of "The Game" is a tragedy so Mike blames Jimmy and Kim for causing the death of an innocent bystander with their schemes. Let's not forget Mike also indirectly caused the death of an innocent bystander when he robbed Hector's truck. He blamed himself when Hector killed just some innocent samaritan that only tried to help. Mike still caries the burden on his shoulders since his hostile attitude towards anyone who directly or indirectly causes the death of people who aren't part of "The Game".

    Saul's Deville is a '97 model which would have been a new car right around the time Jimmy passed the bar and was working solo out of the Nail Salon. It's the same Caddy, or at least the same model as he parked his beat-up Suzuki Esteem next to earlier in the show and was eyeing over with a bit of envy. Was it Bill Oakley's? Anyway, Jimmy doesn't go full Saul until 2004, so it's interesting that he buys a used car. Clearly this is because he remembered the one from the parking lot.

      Yeah, so it'k kinda funny, how Jimmy's Suzuki Esteem ('96-'98) could be even newer than the Cadillac, yet it's already a rusty "steaming pile of crap", while the Cadillac is shiny like it's new. And since it's at least 7 years old by the time Saul buys it, it probably won't cost $40k (which is why I kinda expected him to get it in the Beginning of S6: his old car was gone, Lalo was gone, he got the $100k commission, so like... why not?)

    Huel sitting there in the Hotel waiting, could have been the 21st century Schrodinger's Cat if that was LEFT unanswered... but TBH a lot of these "spaces" is just good writing. Modern franchises and their proclivity to flush out every detail is a bit of a miss. A good musician knows it's about the notes you play AS WELL as the notes you don't see.
    Good writing leads us to some conclusions, but doesn't answer them all. I imagine Saul (in full Shark mode) bought Caldera's book at a barebottom price and got the statue from the Kettlemen for free (I don't see him paying anything for it).

    What I think is Mike kinda respected S1 Jimmy who 'did the right thing' and Jimmy then mostly only got dragged into the game by Nacho.
    But by the end of BCS, papa Varga makes it clear that at the end of the day Mike is just a criminal which Mike does seem to take in. And after Kim leaves, Jimmy fully lives the Saul persona and actively is a crooked lawyer rather than S1-6 Jimmy who was only dragged into the game. And in BB as a crooked criminal lawyer willfully in the game Mike just sees him as that and treats him as that.

    I think my biggest remaining question is why does Mike despise Lydia so much that he thinks she deserves to die? In BCS, Mike only meets and knows her as an executive at Madrigal, and there’s been no real bad blood between them. He knows she has some form of association or familiarity with Gus, but that’s about it. The audience knows the relationship between Gus and Lydia also involves Peter Schuler and is connected to the Santiago incident, but we don’t know exactly what happened or what any of them specifically did. So the question remains, what the hell did Lydia do that Mike wants her dead? Yes, she puts the hit out on him in BB, but there is clearly a much deeper history there. Mike makes it explicitly clear to Walt and Jesse that Lydia deserves to die just as much as any man he’s ever met… He sees her as a liar, a traitor and his hatred for her is palpable. Something else happened here and I want to know what it was.

    A suitable ending could be gene ending up in prison and Kim visiting him, paying tribute to the s1 e3 intro where we see chuck talking to slippin jimmy trying to get him out of jail. Except now gene has no hope, he doesn’t have chuck to defend him anymore and the choices he made have led him here
    This is my take on the scene where it shows a coffin slowly fading into a shot of jimmy in his bed. He may not die himself instead his Gene persona. Having to spend the rest of his life in jail he’ll have to come to the realization of a fate worse than deaths, the choices he made which put him behind bars, and the peoples he’s hurt along the way because of his slippin ways.
    I think there is a similarity between chuck and Kim and how they feel towards jimmy. At one point or another they loved him but because of his actions it led both of them to having to distance themselves from him. And while they may still care for him they know it’s best to keep their distance because they know how sauls choices end up hurting everyone he loves and cares for.

    Yeah he said he would probably move but he never had any reason to pay the fee to disappear he wasn’t running from anybody. And he was simply the middleman it’s not like he was actually part of a gang, meaning it’s highly unlikely he paid the expensive fee to basically have someone box up his belongings. He wasn’t hiding from the police he just simply was tired of not being able to just focus on being a vet.
