    "What is the problem that becoming Saul Goodman solves?" is such a brilliant approach to crafting this show's story.

If there were one, the Salamancas [Hector, Lalo, Tuco, the Twins] AND Eladio/Bolsa. Plus, it's still a mystery what Gus was doing in Chile & how he went from chicken man to drug dealer.

    • @chaosawaits
      @chaosawaits Před rokem +29

      In a vacuum, you're absolutely right. Lalo is the most interesting story, by far. But it was hard to do just one prequel with all the actors getting older. Imagine trying to do another with actors in their 50's-60's trying to play 20-year-olds. If they ever did another spin-off, I think there's only one direction they can go and that's after the final episode of BCS.

    Jimmy is inspired by Kim coming forward to atone for his own sins. I think he had every intention of taking the 7 year deal until he heard the news about Kim going to the DA and then Howard's wife. It changed his plans completely because he understood why he did it. And that's why we get the 4th and final Jimmy persona: from Slippin' Jimmy to Saul Goodman to Gene Takovic to James McGill.

    I loved how the show ended. Jimmy proving to himself, the audience, and the prosecution representing everyone that always doubted his ability as a lawyer that he's become one of the best lawyers around. Perhaps even better than his brother Chuck despite their different approaches to practicing law. Where Chuck was practically worshipped in the field while Jimmy was always castigated and told by his clients that he was a lawyer only guilty people hire.
    After proving that, he didn't need the Saul persona anymore and the only thing Jimmy really needed now to feel fulfilled was Kim's approval and show her that he's back to being the man she fell in love with years ago.

    I'm glad that Vince said he wants to challenge himself and step away from the Breaking Bad universe / Anti-hero theme and try something new. He's obviously talented and its great to see when someone wants to get out of their bubble to prove to himself that he can diverse himself. Its also good that he's not taking advantage of his fans and nostalgia of Breaking Bad. Anyone can ride the success train and pump out fan service like a money making machine. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I would like to see a Gus Fring prequel in the future.

    • @BOBINDUN
      @BOBINDUN Před rokem

      I think a lalo sequel would make the most sense. BESIDES a mockumentary post BCS and BB having everyone left over discussing what they know of the events of breaking bad. Maybe ending with Saul getting some time off his sentence for partaking in the documentary.

    Im sure Vince will not be reading these comments, but i dont think Saul committed 87 years worth of sins. He didnt even kill anyone. Everyone want a lawyer like Saul, he seems to have paid for everyones sins. My opinion aside the whole show incuding the ending was brilliant. And i dont think anyone has ever pulled off a prequel and a sequel at the same time. Genious.

    The reason the prosecutor's no-loss record was of note was only in part to show that he was good. It was also leverage Saul used to press home that he posed a threat to that record, which was a big part of that guy's rep and prospects down the line.
