re: tOfficial Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 1 and 2 Thread (Page 15/16 spoil zone)

We will not see the vacuum man again. Robert Forster died during the filming of season 5.

They may call him, but we won’t see him.

I didn’t either haha.

I only ever remember the actress playing Betsy as the “ hey that’s Eva Mendes’ friend in Hitch”

How did you know it was a body double? Did they say?

All adds up in context now.

Had the dental work done on the man (to match his dental records)

He's a big hulking man similar to Lalo

Told him to shave his beard to match his facial hair (which doesn't make sense as he lit him on fire )

Grabbed the shears and never showed the scene again.

My impression was that occurred after he went into hiding post-BB.

Yeah, that was likely the authorities packing up his house into evidence.

Saul was living very large there in the opener.

Kim told him he needed a showy car to fit Saul's persona. It looks like he also had the house to match.

I thought all the pills were interesting, Saul doesn't seem like a guy that's popping pills in BB. We're those party favors he's acquired for guests? Between those and the underwear in the bathtub it looks like a bit of a party pad.

Also Kim's painting from her apartment was in the house.

Where can I watch last season ?

Netflix

He seems to be dealing with quite a bit of anxiety since the desert. He may need to be medicated to be Saul.

And what was going on at the end of BB certainly wouldn’t reduce the anxiety levels.

Not trying to stir up a pissing match, but does anyone want to discuss Kim dressing like Saul and closing the deal with the Kettlemans?

I’ll talk about how Kim is clearly helping create “Saul” now. “Is that the kind of car Saul would drive (a Taurus?)?” “What kind of office would Saul have?”

Those aren’t direct quotes, but at that Mexican restaurant she’s directly involved in creating the character of Saul. And I posted, “So, Kim’s the stick” before that scene with the Kettlemans—I realized it as soon as I saw the look on her face in bed when she said she was gonna go with him to the meeting. Saul grabbed the money, and said something about knowing Betsy and “a spoonful of sugar.” I can’t remember if he actually said the word “carrot,” but I knew right then what the title of the episode meant—Jimmy is the carrot part of Saul, and Kim is the stick.

So, I’m with you—and probably always have been—that J+K=S. HOWEVER, I’m only with that in the creation of Saul in the BCS timeline. I do not think Kim is involved in Saul’s business in any way in the BB timeline. I do think she’s alive—that flash-forward scene with Francesca where he tells her to be somewhere at a certain place and time (that day is Saul’s birthday btw) indicates to me she’s alive. I don’t see Saul being so genuinely excited if it was to do with anybody else.

BUT, I don’t think he’s in contact with her during BB. Or at least consistent contact. Maybe she calls him every year on his birthday or something. But she’s not lurking in the shadows during BB running Saul’s business. And even if she was, who cares? I’ve never understood why you think that’d be some amazing revelation. It’d be pretty “meh” to me. I’d find it more interesting for her to be doing just about anything else to be honest.
