Leaving records of his work with Fring in his bathroom at home, both of them directly attacking people who work for their dangerous crime boss. If half of the mess of these two dope makers was overseen by Goodman, Walter White would have died of cancer peacefully in his bed with the love of his son, the love or appreciation of his family, Pinkman and maybe even Fring in his own way, and the understanding of his wife.

Eh, I wouldn't say that was proof he was a "killer lawyer." He only knew about the meth lab because his client was the one who put it there. That's not so much of being a "killer lawyer" as it is just lucking out and having knowledge of the property he couldn't possibly have had if Jesse wasn't his client. Plus, what he did is a form of blackmail, and is illegal in all 50 U.S. states. You can't threaten criminal proceedings if a seller doesn't want to come down to your price. TL;DR version: Saul might have been a great lawyer, but this scene is not proof of that.

[@james_ford86]

@@RenaldyCalixte Whether they were blackmailed or not has NO bearing on whether or not the Pinkmans would be charged with a crime. Sure, they could report Saul/Jimmy, and he might face charges, provided they could actually prove it. It would be their word against his, and as there is no recording or written demand from Saul clearly blackmailing them, it'd be unlikely he'd be convicted. There would have to be real evidence of the blackmail attempt, other than their word, i.e. proof, for Saul to actually face any time for that. Like I said before though, it is irrelevant to the fact that the Pinkmans knowingly concealed a felony, which would make them accessories to the crime and they would definitely face charges and jail time if the police were to find out, no matter how they found out. It's like Saul/Jimmy said when dealing with the Kettlemans, "Criminals have no recourse." Telling on him is telling on themselves, and just because he was breaking the law wouldn't alleviate them of the punishment they would face for their crimes.

Honestly BCS gives breaking bad much more meaning since we know most of the characters backstories now. And I’ve said this before but breaking bad seems like a side story now compared to Better Call Saul. So glad we got much more of Jimmy, Mike, and Gus. And I even like the other characters we were introduced to like Kim, lalo, Nacho, Howard, chuck, and even Francesca. All in which I found compelling. The whole Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe is fantastic. Glad I got into it.

[@jakenolan5897]

Thats right bro the most well written and directed show in the world and people need to realise that.

[@thestancissmith2818]

I’ve never understood the side story stuff. Breaking bad is the end of the main characters from the entire universe, it introduces the undoubtably most important character Walt. Without Walt there would be no justice for Howard, there would be no punishment for Gus, there would be no chaos for Hank and the DEA. It’s not a side story it’s a climactic downfall due to the introduction of BrBa and BCS’s devil Walt

[@JS-tg7mw]

I don't know if anyone picked up on this, but in this scene Saul says "Just a little transpositional error, nothing a little white out wont fix" is this a reference to what he does to chuck with the mesa verde address?? Pretty crazy

[@uocgimaythgconguoiyeuchethet]

i love the second scene where Saul gets kidnapped and then offered them to put a dollar in his pocket so they can make it "official" and have attorney-client privilege. if you havent seen BCS, its a throwback to when Kim does the exact thing to Jimmy, asking him to give her a dollar so she can be his attorney.

@@uocgimaythgconguoiyeuchethet I think it is more accurate to say that the scene with Kim is a throwback to the scene where Saul is kidnapped.

[@TheArticulatingAnoraksPodcast]

With each new episode of Better Call Saul the Saul in Breaking Bad becomes more perplexing. I wonder if it’ll be revealed that Jimmy is putting on a whole facade as Saul and spends a lot of lonely time in his mansion having mental breakdowns

[@jinxthatsme2317]

I have a feeling that Saul didn’t spend much time by himself during Breaking Bad. According to Bob Odenkirk, Saul was a person that went to strip clubs and played golf during his free time. So I imagine that he chooses to distract himself as much as he possibly can in order to bury his traumatic experiences.

[@aubreypressley1450]

I think the sad truth is he uses Saul Goodman as a way to fully let loose and forget everything. Jimmy has always had a thing against authority, especially after Chuck. Saul Goodman is the little guy that stands up to the big bad law firms. It's what Jimmy has been moving toward since the end of S4. And because of that he loves Saul Goodman. He loves being the guy who wins after being a loser for so long as evidenced by Quite a Ride. So he probably isn't chilling at home having breakdowns. He's probably having fun.

[@fridaynightpizza7158]

wasn't kim's stuff in saul's mansion when it was getting sacked this season? saul seems to be like a loser romantically in breaking bad but it kind of seems like he and kim spent a good amount of time together in the end
