SpiderHyphenMan posted:Edit: Or finding out exactly what Gus did in Chile. I really, really don't ever want an actual answer because some things are more fun if you don't know. Same. I'm really curious as to what he did in Chile and why everyone fears/respects him, but I feel like it's better left as a mystery.

Nail Rat posted:The thing I hate most about this show is that I can't talk about it with anybody because I know exactly one person who watches it. My fiancee won't even watch it despite my begging, and she loved breaking bad and suffered all the way through Dexter. How did it ever get renewed for a fifth season? I don't get that she loved BB but refuses to watch BCS. I couldn't wait for Episode 1 and I've been hooked since.

The Ninth Layer posted:Saul also thought of Mike as "his" PI and didn't seem to know Mike was really workings for Gus. I remember him setting Walt up with Gus telling him that he "knows a guy who knows a guy" so I'm guessing his only connection to Gus was through Mike.

Baronjutter posted:A recurring theme in these shows is about pride being people's downfalls. I'm seeing shades of Walter White in Gus lately, he's obsessed with Hector and sees himself as the only rightful arbiter of his fate, for what he "deserves". If Gus could just be satisfied with the old gently caress dying in a hospital bed he'd be so much better off come breaking bad, in fact most of his problems would not exist. Much like if Walter had just taken his rich friend's help and job offer he'd never have had to turn to becoming a awful meth man, but his pride didn't allow him. When Jimmy got his law license suspended for a year, he could have just worked for Kim as a paralegal/assistant and she wouldn't have been burning the candle at both ends trying to juggle two major clients by herself.

Nail Rat posted:This keeps being said and I'll keep saying: the reason it was the expectation is that was literally both the original pitch and what was reported. It was going to be a half hour comedy. At some point they added Jonathan Banks and said it was actually going to be an hour-long drama. Although I'm really enjoying the show as it is, I would totally watch a half-hour comedy with Saul and his client(s) of the week.

Javid posted:I think this is the key. Kim didn't (mostly) get her jollies from scamming the court, she got fulfilled by springing a dude who was legitimately innocent but being railroaded by a dickhole cop and a DA who thinks she has an easy conviction. I wouldn't say "legitimately innocent." He did assault a police officer. The way the DA was being lovely was in the disparaty of the charges. Pushing for max jail time when the last six(?) people who went to trial over the same thing got no more than suspended sentences or probation.

Regy Rusty posted:No he's definitely hiding from the authorities. Hence all the shredding. Walt was exposed and it was only a matter of time before Saul was investigated as his attorney. Good point, I had forgotten about that. I was just thinking about the first episode of BCS where we first see Gene in the Cinnabon and we see him almost have a heart attack because that tough looking dude came walking up and Gene thought he recognized him, like he was getting ready to be whacked.

Doltos posted:That's why it's all stupid bullshit. It's obvious to everyone but Jimmy that he was supposed to talk about Chuck which makes the whole process useless. It meant nothing he said at all mattered unless he issued an untrue apology for the Chuck saga. That's the irony of the whole thing. They didn't reinstate him because he came off as insincere but had he been really insincere - dropping Chuck's name - he would have been reinstated. Kim told him as much. Sounds like she knows how the game is played better than Jimmy.

Javid posted:I can see Kim betraying him in some way, and he just loving annihilates her like they did Chuck's credibility, and his surrender to the dark side is then complete. One thing I noticed on re-watch that I didn't catch before is how much of a bad influence Kim also is on Jimmy. More than once she just gets done berating Jimmy for not giving his job at Davis and Main a chance, or cutting corners doing something "extra legal", then in the next scene she's calling him up from a bar wanting him to partner with her in a petty scam. She also seems like she doesn't really know what she wants. She gets her own cushy job, then she's in court trolling for public defender clients.

Selachian posted:Saul showed Walter how to launder his profits (at least, until they got too big to launder through the car wash), helped Jesse cover up Jane's death, and he was also the one who introduced Walter to Fring in the first place. I'm sure that would have been enough to allow the feds to dig through his business, and who knows what other, non-Walter-related, crimes he was involved in. When Mike was being shadowed by the feds - Hank and Gomie - Saul was representing him with his "harassment suit" against them. I'm sure that was enough to put him on their radar when the whole thing blew up.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:He did. But if you're good at watching TV, he quite literally is working for Gus during Breaking Bad. Also a good chance he's the middle man between Saul and Gus. And having him clean up Jessie's mess isn't exactly a stretch when Gus had just paid him and Walt for their meth not too long before then... Yeah, when Walt was trying to sell all that meth and Saul said he "knows a guy who knows a guy" I'm thinking it was Mike who was the middle man between him and Gus.

massive spider posted:Yeah most of the stuff jimmy has done has been shady borderline. Things like using psychology to get people viewing a case sympathetically and so on, not lysing about the material facts of the case, but moving on to straight up fabricating witnesses would be a step up. Well he did already fabricate evidence for Squat Cobbler guy.

beep by grandpa posted:counterpoint: everything mike did was really really cool, while walt had like 3 cool moments in his entire life Attacking those bullies who were making fun of Walt Jr., and blowing up Ken's car are the only two that come to mind. Maybe coming clean to Skyler in the end and telling her that it wasn't really about taking care of the family, it was that he was really good at something and it made him feel good.
