  • Better Call Saul 6x08 'Point and Shoot'
    Mike' first job as Saul Goodman's cleaner. After removing any signs of illegal activity, including Howard's body, the three of them go over their story on how things will play out.
    This is quite similar to how he helped Jesse Pinkman get rid of Jane's body in season 2 of Breaking Bad. He even debriefs Jimmy and Kim step by step on how to proceed, instructing them to conclude any potential explanations with "that's all I know."

    Anytime i see Mike and Saul hanging out together in Breaking Bad, this scene will be at the back of my mind. When Mike threatens Saul, when he pulls Walter off of him. I'll just be thinking they went through this together. Meanwhile, Huell and Francesca will have witnessed his brother break down in court berate him for his whole existence. Turns out, these side characters know so much.

      This is why Mike always asks Jimmy to get a sticker or pay $2, it would make sense they would have stickers instead of special IDs to get them through since the parking is not open just to the lawyers and staff there but also the civilians who have to attend court.
      Also another is I remember that Mike is shown to only ask for stickers when he leaves the parking so it’s likely that you can only get those stickers from inside when you can prove you have reason to be there on the day.

Not to mention major cities in America (and every major city across the world that I’ve been to) seem to intentionally try to hit you with fees.

      I think it's fair to assume Mike is also feeling guilt for pulling his men off of Jimmy's apartment. Kim called him out for this earlier in the episode. His judgment toward Jimmy and Kim also hints at Mike's general hypocrisy that's called out by Nacho's Dad (Manuel) in the next episode. Despite Mike's "code", people outside the game and people he cares about *always* get hurt. It's clear from his conversation with Manuel that Mike knows this, too.

      That's not "encouragement". That's literally masterminding the entire operation and holding Jimmy hostage using his love for her as leverage against him to force his compliance.
      Outside of doing a bunch of stupid childish shit such as throwing bowling balls at Howard's car and having prostitutes interrupt one of Howard's business lunches that was completely harmless to Howard and was merely Jimmy acting out over Chuck's death as well as what Jimmy perceived as an insult from Howard's job offer, Jimmy wasn't responsible for anything even remotely damaging to Howard's reputation that Kim didn't make him do.
      This is some grade-A copium, dude. Kim knew from Mike that Lalo was still alive and should've told Jimmy. Had she done that, Jimmy would've called off the entire scheme against Howard and taken Kim to safety. Her own admitted reasons for not doing so is because she was being completely selfish and was having way too much fun with said scheme to ever call it off (even going so far as to actively abandon a very important meeting with some highly-connected legal officials just so she could ensure that her scheme wasn't called off after Jimmy had wanted to wait for another day). Even if it meant actively endangering both her own life and Jimmy's.
      Trying to claim that Jimmy is responsible over business dealings from a long time ago that he couldn't have possibly known would result in this particular event instead of Kim, who knew that Lalo (who Jimmy very much justifiably thought was dead) could show up at any time and very possibly kill them both only to do absolutely nothing about it out of selfishness and blatant disregard for everything and everyone but herself, is beyond imbecilic.
      And trying to argue that "but Mike said he would watch over them" is also irrelevant as she still should've been smart enough to take precautions and tell Jimmy.
      This is all very much Kim's fault. Learn to get used to it.

    • @mookitty2396
      @mookitty2396 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Jimmy was in panic mode. Howard wasn’t just a random person. He knew Jimmy. They had history. Even lawyers need to be reminded they’re also human and need to shut up. At this moment Jimmy was frozen. Confused and scared. He still believed Lalo was coming after him. Mike was the man to ground Jimmy back slipping Saul

      A man goes to Mike-that’s how the story always begins. “Mike, I don't want to be caught,” the man says; what he did was harsh, unforgiving, cruel. Mike lights up. The solution, after all, is simple. “The great lawyer Saul Goodman is in town tonight,” Mike says, “Better call him! That should sort you out.” The man bursts into tears. “But Mike,” he says, “I am Saul.”

    : One of the great things about Mike as a character is that he knows the drill and is as polite and understanding as can be, given the situation. He knows yelling doesn't help.

Howard was a complete innocent, who actually turned out to be a good guy that tried his best to make everyone happy. He gave Jimmy the benefit of the doubt more than he deserved. In the end, chuck was right and Howard should have listened.

I understand plot armor but how much they have fleshed out these characters i feel there should have been some facial expression or body expression to show remorse. instead we get stone cold. even in breaking bad the characters are so cold compared to these close interactions. its fine i understand when making a previous show/movie you need to show links but this seems to stretch the connections.
