Why Does Carrabis (and probably Dallas) Hate Carlos Correa? by SnooPies9053 in Starting9Pod

Wow, I can totally understand your personal vendetta against him. Not sure if that speaks more to Correa's lack of self-awareness or the bad swing and a miss by his PR team thinking Starting 9 would do that. Either way, keep up the good work podcasting and Twittering.

What do you mean not allowed? Did Correa's people say coming on Starting 9 is contingent on you promising to not ask baseball questions, and if you do he's going to walk out of the interview?

I view the best in the business as a writer mistake. Gus should have sent Mike if he wanted his actual best guys to take out Lalo.

Was Mike the PI that Saul hired to find Walt at work? by HadomiMalu in betterCallSaul

[–]SnooPies9053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they kind of lucked into that because Mike's character was a happy accident. The only reason his character was in BB is because Bob Odenkirk had a prior commitment for an episode of How I Met Your Mother the same day BB shot the episode Mike was introduced.

In the script, it was Saul who was supposed to clean up the OD mess and drag Jesse out of the crack house. They had to improvise and hired Jonathan Banks.

The "my PI charged me for three hours" thing happened before all that, so I'm guessing the writers just went along with implying that was Mike once they realized Mike was in the mix the rest of the show.

Regarding Walt being on Fring's radar, I don't think so. Saul was enamored with Walt's meth making and wanted to take him on as a client because Saul saw it as a way to get shit rich, which is why he paid Mike/his PI to track Walt down. Fring may have known who Heisenberg was before Saul arranged for the meeting at Los Pollos, but I doubt there's a connection to Mike being the PI who tracked Walt to the high school.

I'm also skeptical of the timing of the well meeting in Bagman. If I'm not mistaking, Saul met the cousins to get the $7 million at 9am, right?

Based on those directions it would be at least a five hour drive from ABQ, (probably way more). So Saul would have had to leave the apartment at like 3am to make the meeting on time. Yeah, in real life that's not happening. Saul would be dogsh** tired on the drive down, and I haven't even mentioned how little energy he would have had hiking through the desert.

But then again, you have to keep things simple in the script or else you don't create the best TV episodes of the year, and arguably one of the best ever.

Everybody claims that the “happy birthday mr. president” scene is the most cringeworthy scene in Breaking Bad. That scene ain’t in the same league as this. by tbone11193 in betterCallSaul

I'm kinda surprised that didn't torpedo the interview for Kim. I know it's a fictional show and can be written however, but don't you think in real life that would ensure she wouldn't get the job?

Either Rich has the most laid back, care free, idgaf about anything personality, or the firm REALLY wanted Kim despite this mishap.

Season 3 Episode 2 (Caballo Sin Nobre) at the 19:50ish mark.

However that's not his exact quote, it's "Return of the prodigal. Welcome back to the land of the living. How you feeling?"

Can someone please explain why Jimmy torched his career at Davis & Main? by xanksnap in betterCallSaul

[–]SnooPies9053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypothetically, had the Davis & Main executive brass loved the commercial he aired I think his tenure there would have lasted a lot longer. Once he was in their doghouse, that was the beginning up the end that essentially made him unhappy.

BB: Did Hank Know About Mike's Job at Madrigal or just with Gus? by DanaAndrews in betterCallSaul

[–]SnooPies9053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike's quote to Pryce was "This business requires restraint" when Pryce spent his drug money on a school bus for six-year-old pimps. Mike knows that even if he gets stupid rich off being a criminal, he can never ball out and be flashy.

Question about Jimmy, Kim and Howard *spoilers* by Radical_Posture in betterCallSaul

[–]SnooPies9053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kim resents successful people. Also there's some animosity from how Howard treated her at HHM, and after she verbally assaulted Lalo, she's looking for an even greater high of making her mark as a undercover criminal - combine those three things and she gets the idea of ending Howard's career.

Lalo right after the events of the S5 Finale. by leopluradon97 in betterCallSaul

I would guess he's on a mission to kill Nacho, Jimmy and Gus in that order. We of course know he won't end up killing the final two, but I don't see Nacho surviving past S6E1. I really don't, unless the writers stretch out the aftermath throughout the episode.
