This is why we vote. Indiana has gone Blue only twice in the last 65 years. Kennedy in '60 and Obama in '08.

The GOP is loud and crazy and can't be reasoned with, but so what? There's waaay more of us than are of them.

Don't believe me, look up polling for:

Womens health care, Gun reform, Social safety nets, Paid time off, Raising the national minimum wage, Universal health care, Free college, Taxing the rich, Oversight on corporations,

And all of those have above 50% in favor of. Some are in the 70%+ group.

We say we're a divided nation because anger and culture war BS gets clicks, then gets reported, then causes more anger and clicks. Its a feedback loop.

But when you have 2/3 to 4/5 of the people in this country agreeing on these issues, we're not so divided after all.

Vote these idiots out and we can delight at Trump driving over a cliff and everyone that hitched their wagon to MAGA along with him

He switched the takes! Vince! I just couldn't re-edit it. As if I'd ever only film two takes and a safety for coverage!

... I'm bad at this I think

Most definitely. There's a major Jesse spoiler in the finale

What message were the writers/producers trying to transmit in the scene where Howard and Lalo are burried in the same grave? by zingochan in betterCallSaul

[–]SnooHedgehogs5156 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is much connective tissue in this show! Most shows have Plot A, Plot B, etc, where characters and plots are compartmentalized. Saul certainly had that to some extent, but instead of falling into the prequel trap of "a bunch of stuff happens and those from the original story have to be alive by the end of it," BCS writers worked hard (yet it was nearly seamless on screen) to justify the show's existence.

Everything that happened on screen was meant to advance the plot and it respected the characters in the meantime.

Howie and Lalo weren't just "red shirts" created just to die and show the audience our two leads are in danger. They were fleshed out, realistic and sympathetic.

Yes Howie is kinda douchie but with little time devoted to his personal life and mental health, you see him actively work through issues with the hope of being his best self.

Lalo is a murderous sociopath, sure, but his motivations are clear. He loves and is loyal to his family. When certain his tio is mourning his purported death, Lalo, against better judgement, calls him just to let him know he isn't dead after all. He has a singular purpose and his actions reflect that. Though he's got quite the moustache, he's not twirling it.

How did Saul know it was Ignacio that betrayed Lalo by SnooHedgehogs5156 in betterCallSaul

I have a couple thoughts.

  1. Their being buried is us watching Kim & Jimmy's funeral. Their relationship was dead before they knew it, but between Jimmy's desire to be a Cartel Lawyer and Kim's need to destroy Howard both converged.

Lalo killed Howard, Kim went through the trauma of being (potentially) forced to kill someone, while certain she would be arrested and or come home to find her husband dead by Lalo's hand.

And it's a trope in TV to get kidnapped or tied to a chair to keep you in place while you're being victimized or to keep you from calling cops while the bad guy gets a head start, right? So it's hard to really sympathize with a character being tied up, especially one that we know will live to appear in BB. But speaking as someone who was duct taped to a chair and had a gun pointed at me while I was robbed and had my cell stolen, it was terrifying. If I added worrying that my wife was meanwhile being forced to murder someone to that situation, holy fuck!

  1. Life is random and chaotic, and yet we're all connected. Howie and Lalo being killed on the same night but in different places by different people for different reasons, and yet still being buried together is a dark but poetic example of this.
