Wait were people expecting poison? Poison would be obvious and defeat the whole purpose. Nacho's replacing the nitro pills with inert capsules so Hector will (according to plan) appear to die of natural causes.

One thing that's both funny and aggravating to listen to is Pryce's consistent 'well, DUH' tone in his voice. Like, I get it; dude's in way over his head always, and never realizes it, and the actor plays it perfectly, but holy gently caress, I want to loving strangle him when I hear it. Dude, don't assume you know more than Mike/Nacho/Saul/literally anyone you're dealing with, outside of your pharmacy.

I call it "the Janice effect" after Janice Soprano on The Sopranos; a character that plays exactly the role they are supposed to, and they do it very well, but Jesus are they loving annoying.

I'm rewatching this show after just getting done with a Breaking Bad marathon. Some observations: - When Jesse and Walt are checking out Saul's place for the first time, Jesse tells Walt that he knows Saul through Emilio, his original cook partner in the pilot episode. Saul got Emilio out from certain legal trouble twice, the second time possibly being in the pilot where Emilio posted bail for the DEA raid. Krazy 8 recently mentioned in a BCS episode that he's "working with a young guy" or something along those lines, so there's a fair chance Emilio shows up on BCS. - Krazy 8 himself is a DEA snitch, something I think I forget every time I watch BB again. Hank describes Krazy 8's rise to power as essentially "falling to the top" and escaping the misfortune that hits other dealers. Krazy 8 seems to be the guy in charge at the start of Breakning Bad and Tuco "moves in" to fill the void he leaves when he dies. This makes me wonder what happens to Nacho that takes him out of the picture altogether, since at the moment he's Krazy 8's boss. - I'd misremembered the scene where Walt and Jesse are kidnapped by Gus as him being scared of Nacho. Upon rewatch he says that Walt and Jesse, who he thinks are the Cartel kidnapping, should be looking for "Ignacio" who did it instead of him; he asks if they're sent by somebody else (Maduro?) but the name didn't sound familiar and I didn't quite catch it. This could be related to whatever happens to Hector, but the timeline doesn't seem to fit that, we can probably assume Hector gets crippled closer to BCS' time period than Breaking Bad's. - I was trying to figure out whether Saul has a prior relationship with Gus before the start of BB. He pulls up a pretty good description of Gus when Walt/Jesse run into distribution problems and I got an impression that Saul at least knows who Gus is, even if maybe he hadn't met him. But Saul also seems to think that Mike is his guy (and not Gus' guy) up until the tail end of BB season 3, and it seems like Gus' crew has their own lawyer in season 5, so it seems more likely that Saul and Gus haven't gotten involved before. - The extent of Saul's involvement into Brock's poisoning is really unclear. At the start of season 5 Saul claims to have no knowledge that Walt intended to poison Brock, and that if he had he wouldn't have gone along with the plan. But I don't see how the plan would work without Saul giving Walt some information about Andrea and Brock. Walt saw Andrea and Brock at Jesse's house but he'd have no way of knowing where she lived; we see Saul visiting Andrea's hose to give her some of Jesse's money. - When Saul introduces Walt/Jesse to Vamanos Pest Control he mentions that he's known those guys for about five years, or about the time period BCS is taking place in. So we're probably in for more BB cameos. - Saul says a lot of whacky stuff about his personal life, the most notable being that his second wife slept with his stepdad. One of the comments that seemed a little more genuine to me was Saul visiting Skyler at the car wash. Saul's there to relay some business news, but has his car's getting washed he tells the guy washing his interior to really get the cushions. By explanation he tells Skyler that the "kiddies" get snot everywhere, it's real bad. No other evidence Saul may have kids on the side, but again we don't get any look at his personal life beyond what he tells us. Thanks for reading, I'm sure this has all been posted before.

Not just that, but the writing staff has already been through every single line of Saul dialogue from BB I assume numerous times, to ensure that nothing is missed. Edit: I learned this from the podcast, of course. I also learned that the writers are a really great group of wonderful people.

I have a feeling it's one those things where we as an audience are meant to expect super genius Walt to have figured it out somehow, but we just didn't get to see it in motion this time. He's not Brock's teacher, and it would be a major FERPA violation to give out a student's information to someone who has no reason to need it. It doesn't matter how he got the information. It's just supposed to make Walt seem more powerful and frightening.

I think you're talking about the scene in To'hajiilee where Saul goes to the car wash to tell Walt that Huell is missing (after Jesse stole his car and drove it to Walt's house to burn the place down). "The kid" he's talking about is Jesse, and "booger powder" does not mean snot, but the crushed up meth that Jesse was snorting in his car. "The kid left so much booger powder in there my Caddy is a K9 unit's wet dream."

I have a feeling it's one those things where we as an audience are meant to expect super genius Walt to have figured it out somehow, but we just didn't get to see it in motion this time. Right, since we don't see how Walt poisoned Brock we have no real way of knowing just how involved Saul was (or whether he should have known better). I was just thinking about it from the point of view of Saul's morality. He doesn't have too many outward scruples; Walt poisoning Brock is one of the few times I can remember him expressing (genuine) moral outrage.

I still can't get past Gus' little: "I know you were all scared yesterday, but don't worry, those guys were just Mexican mafia! And I didn't pay them! So don't worry!" Every single one of those kids is going to talk to the cops. It better come up next episode.

Yeah, the whole Ricin plot was a big stumbling block for me back when BB first aired. Even if we assume that Walt found out who Brock and Adrea were and where they lived through Facebook or a PI or something, I just can't see any way for Walt to get a kid he doesn't know to eat something without anyone else noticing, or at the very least Brock saying something to Andrea about it. The only remotely plausible scenario is that Saul gave some poisoned candy or something to Brock, but that raises a bunch of other questions. I have a really hard time imagining Saul agreeing to be part of a plan like that without getting very specific answers to some very important questions. And if Saul did know the details, that means that not only did he lie to Jesse later, but that he was willing to risk the consequences of getting caught poisoning a child for, what, exactly? Walt couldn't even offer Saul a bunch of money, because he was pretty close to broke at the time. This and the plane crash felt like moments where the writers tried a little too hard to be clever at the expense of having the story hold together.
