When I first started watching BCS, Howard was my least favorite character and seemed to be the biggest antagonist within the law storylines, as I was pulling for young, hungry Jimmy to make his mark on the world. Early on he seemed worse than Chuck even.

But season by season it becomes abundantly clear that Howard is one of the most honorable, respectable, truly great human beings in the BCS universe, while Jimmy’s descent into Saul Goodman becomes a character no sane person can say is worth truly rooting for despite his charismatic appeal.

Simply amazing character arch’s in opposing directions and I’m genuinely devastated at how things ended for my guy Howard. He deserved so much better…..

I have completed the rewatch of BCS till S06E09. Several reels and Gus too have suggested to start from here to BrBa. Now i have already watched BrBa earlier. I am not thinking to go it all over again.

Can you guys suggest the major episodes where Saul, Mike and Gus have major roles? I would like to watch that and then maybe comeback and finish the later episodes of BCS.

Again BCS is much better than BrBa but BCS would not have existed without BrBa. So let’s go with it.

Thanks.

Between BB & BCS, 338 people die. Some of them, we applaud their deaths (Don Eladio, Todd, Tuco, Lydia etc). Some we are shocked by (Gus, Lalo, Howard). But I'm wondering in specific, what are the tragedies. It'd be easy to say "they're ALL tragedies," but then, which are the very worst. The saddest, most unnecessary of all the killings?

Here's my top 5:

1) Drew Sharpe, the kid on the bike in the desert. His whole life ahead of him, done nothing wrong but be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
2) Andrea. Her little brother forced into selling drugs and then murdered. Her serious boyfriend (Jesse) ghosts her, her son gets severely, nearly fatally ill and then she's shot to death out of the blue to teach Jesse a lesson.
3) Nacho Varga. He made mistakes, sure, but his death was so avoidable except for his love of his father. The gun to his father's head sealed his fate far in advance of the arrival of the bullets.
4) Werner Ziegler. Not a bad man. Honestly, a delightful one. But, couldn't follow orders.
5) Chuck McGill. A bad man. I mean, barely, when compared to the monsters on these two shows, but definitely an obsessive talent whose main goal seemed to be the desire to hold his brother down. His suicide was nonetheless tragic.

Bonus Mentions: Mike's son, killed for being an honest cop. Every passenger on Wayfarer Flt 515, and honestly, I'd say Jesse Pinkman, except that he lives. Sort of.

Where is this scene in real life?​ I'm very curious. ​hahaha

My partner and I were throwing funny what-ifs at each other for the series and this one made us talk a lot. I argued that Saul commissioned unemployed film students and even staged the billboard rescue so there's no way he would find fun in just generating his brand. But my partner brings up a good point that he is one to cut corners.

Regardless we both agree that he would kick ass at arguing cases fighting against or for its usage. Anyways, fun hypothetical: what do you guys think?
