Will the show ever go past the BB/El Camino timeline and show us Saul in the present day?



1 and 2 are still amazing.

Have you missed all of those black and white intros in each season, showing post-BB Saul in hiding?
My guess is they'll stick with this convention until the end of S6, when they'll finally bridge BCS with BB and then jump forward to show Saul's final situation (and they'd better not turn him into a lumberjack ).

You mean those tiny glimpses that barely pass for a teaser? Laughing I'm talking about the episodes themselves.

I hope for once they don't follow convention and jump into the present day for the second half of the final season atleast.

It's still decent, but it aint Breaking Bad.. it has very few interesting characters really. It's also a weird mix of realism and a cartoon, those two drugged out morons for example "50% off!" what the fuck was that? I guess it was an attempt at comedy but it was just cringe, even some anti-drug propaganda video could probably come up with more believable characters than that. Saul's clown clothing is also a bit over the top.

No one watching this? I think they're ruining the Kim character this season, she's making less sense every ep. They are going completely over the top with her motives and actions imo. Not liking it at all.

i am watching but theres not much to say, clever written show that for me its almost same level as breaking bad. i dont think they are ruining her just she sees how easy it is to be gizelle vs be legit...probably they want to push her character to the limit and in the end will break

It's very obvious where the character is going, I just think it's too forced.

It's quite boring right now, both Mike's situation and that they're spending several episodes on a random no-one that we don't care about... this belongs in S1 because it could serve as some character building, but we've had this already. The thing with Mike is so unimaginative and predictable.

Another full episode about a character that has no relation to anyone, that they've met very briefly but Kim wants to go all-in with money, risking getting fired, only to save this completely random person who isn't even very likable Laughing

Its not realistic that someone would even work as a lawyer if they feel they need to save everyone they meet, and even use their own money if they have to, risk their job if they have to. they'd be burnt out in a week!

What's up with Jimmy being so pissed at various people that hasn't done him anything, who even approaches him and tries to give him a better job / income? Yet he wants to spend money and resources to bring them down. The series portrays these people as very harmless, they just happen to be privileged. It makes very little sense. I guess it's meant to appeal to leftists? I sometimes even think Howard has a more likable personality than Jimmy, sure he's a boring "suit", but at least he's not acting like a 14 year old bully (who has some creativity).

I'm getting really tired of how the series it's trying so hard to be smart, even for things that now have become very unrealistic (the characters behavior).

how is it hate speech? i'm seriously curious why they have decided to portray the characters that way, it just seems odd and it was the only reasonable explanation i could think of. Hollywood has gone all-in total madness lately so it would not surprise me.

i couldnt give a shit about twitter, its not something i use. no idea who jef is either so keep keep that shit to yourself, thanks.

gotta focus on the wahmen ya know, otherwise it means you hate wahmen.. no but i'm seriously beginning to think it stinks. Yes, Mike too, its going nowhere, its fucking stillborn. this type of character development we've had for the entire series now, we KNOW these characters inside and out, its time for the series to take off, but no, it's like a song where the intro just goes on for the entire song, it never takes off into any interesting direction that the build up promises.

The series should have tons of interesting clients for Saul etc. But no, its still like its in season 1 where they have to explain the characters to us and let the characters do "smart" stuff, which in general is kind of boring and forgettable..

Lullo is certainly my fav character since his first ep, fucker got charisma and every scene with him gives me a wide smile. Kinda like a mexican Hans Landa, a very charming and polite psychopath, he is even using my Counter Strike strats now Laughing

I had no problem with that part, it was a matter of favorable circumstances (though, this series does have a lot of those special circumstances).

I like the progress with Kim. I should have been able to guess that stuff, but i actually didn't.

It felt like a filler. It seems to drift from Saul with each season, this time they even "forgot" the snips from the future.

This is during Breaking Bad. The black/white scenes take place after Breaking Bad.
Lalo never showed up in BB, right? I don't remember Breaking Bad that well.
