Better Call Saul was funny as hell for making the B-plot so much more high stakes than the A-plot. It kind of makes it feel like Mike is Perry the Platypus sometimes.

I’m not going to lie, I did in fact kind of ship Skyler and Saul when I was watching Breaking Bad, and watching Better Call Saul is solidifying that for me. I would say he would treat her right but that simply is not true, but he would treat her better than Walt at least. Maybe better than Ted did too, but I might be getting overly generous with assessment.

I feel really bad for Chuck, some of the shit Jimmy is doing to him is soooo cruel. Using his mental illness against him to make him and everyone around him question his version of reality so that Jimmy can do whatever he wants and get away with it is unfathomably fucked up tbh.

Kim and Howard as Jimmy and Chuck’s lawyers in their case against each other is so messy, but the relationship between those four has been an train wreck since the beginning. Jimmy and Kim’s parallel struggle against an older person they owe a lot to for independence, Chuck and Howard disappointed in them for going so low to sabotage them, and all of their loyalty to their respective partners has always been a recipe for disaster and it’s kind of coming to fruition now.

Nacho is a deeply funny character to me for some reason. He keeps showing up places with the cartel and going WAIT GUYS! STOP THE VIOLENCE ✋ and then turning around like “please Mike we have to kill my boss so he doesn’t find out I’m doing shit behind his back”. It’s kind of like if Jesse’s character arc was told exclusively through out of context snippets every third episode. Like WHAT is this guy’s deal? I like him.

It’s so funny that Better Call Saul is doubling down on their position from Breaking Bad that being someone’s sole business partner is one of the most intense relationship two people can have by making Jimmy more obsessed with getting Kim to be his partner than like trying to move in with her or marry her or something. Like to the point that if you watched like half of the episodes out of context you would NOT know that he has been in a somewhat committed monogamous relationship with this woman the entire time and isn’t just like pining for her.

Howard’s stupid little shuffle going through the neighbors’ lawns to get to Chuck’s house did so much for his character lowkey. I am now kind of endeared by him.

Where are the majority of people even doing fandom at this point? Because Twitter’s been basically dead for years, Tiktok lost a lot of users after it switched ownership (including myself tbh), and I’ve noticed that a Lot of people seem to have stopped using tumblr after they separated reblogs from posts for two days before immediately reversing the decision. Is it discord???
