Better Call Saul season 5

[ChrisIII]

Any thoughts on this? Basically the season was delayed until 2020 (possibly to accomodate El Camino?) although it's now filming. The series of course is a prequel to the series, not only dealing with the origins of lawyer Saul Goodman (actually Jimmy Mcgill) but also setting up fixer Mike, Gus Fring, and the Salemanca cartel as well as mentioned but not seen in Breaking Bad characters like Nacho and Lalo.

The last season brought things even more closer to Breaking Bad, with Mcgill finding new con loopholes such as burner phones, and of course gaining a new practice under his fake name. On the flip side of the storyline, Hector-due to Gus and Nacho's machinations became the bell-ringing, wheelchair bound character that he was in Breaking Bad. Mike pretty much let even more of his morality fade as he was forced to execute the builder of the laundry superlab.

Plus the story of present-day Jimmy, "Gene" continued in the black and white mini-episode, with a taxi driver from ABQ possibly recognizing him.


I'm curious as to how things are going to go. Most mysterious are the fates of Jimmy's concerned girlfriend/occasional partner-in-con Kim and associate/semi-rival Howard, as well as Nacho, who although mentioned in BB was done in a sort of ambiguous way.

I think we have 1 or 2 more seasons left and I think Lalo Salamanca could be a way to bring the Jimmy/Mike storylines together. I think Nacho is still alive in BB but on the run, Howard would die because of Jimmy somehow, while Kim cuts all ties and leaves NM altogether.

All I know is this show is fucking fantastic.

It may be controversial to say, but I think it might be better than Breaking Bad. Or at least more impressive how great it is given it's a prequel.

This show managed to successfully flesh out the past of Huell Babineaux.

If only for that it was up to that task, it is probably Breaking Bad's equal.

Never mind that it has the whole corner that is Chuck McGill.

Bumping this as the series is finally coming back next month. Also it's announced that two more BB cast will be back-but it's not Walt and Jessie.

I'm starting to hope Walter and Jesse never show up in BCS.

And I am hyped for the new season. Love this show.
