I'm.. actually not too happy with thinking that the reason Mike stays vague is just because the directors wanted Saul to stay scared of Lalo for BrBa. was that it? did they say anything else about the psychology behind the characters doing it?

yeah! so I think it was gordon that said mike didn’t want to involve jimmy and kim any further into fring’s operations and the super lab so rather than getting into all the details of how lalo died, mike just told him that he wouldn’t be coming back.

he also said that since mike had told jimmy that lalo died before and that turned out to be false, jimmy would never truly believe mike if he was told the truth. in jimmy’s mind lalo “rose from the dead” before so he has no reason to believe that he won’t do it again

I hope that answered your question lmao it’s almost 3am here (way past my bedtime) so I don’t really know how coherent that was 😅

what're your BETTER CALL SAUL season sex predictions I mean six

nothing good is going to happen to nacho and it's gonna hurt. howard is finally gonna get dragged into the criminal side of things, somehow, as the barrier between the "two halves" of the show continues to disintegrate. i could see things spiraling out of control and him getting killed as a curveball, since so many of the other characters have to survive until breaking bad. kim becomes the joker

🔥 YouTubers!

I don’t really know any YouTubers by name, other than ones I’ve become friends with over the years. I mostly just use the site to watch streams I missed, or to watch cooking & gardening videos. 

A lot of the gaming personalities I used to follow on the site years ago have kind of built their brands on being mad & abrasive & hostile all the time. It’s exhausting to engage with nowadays, personally.

what're your thoughts on Fred's design in that new Scooby Doo movie? lotta people say it looks off and I agree but I can't pin why

Oh I hadn’t seen this

Apparently the movie is about them being younger and getting their “start” in their early teens? But that’s where scooby doo always gets confusing because they’ve already been teens or adults in different settings with the same exact designs and Fred especially always looked and sounded more like some middle aged man.

I think what happened is that for once, they decided to actually make a teenaged Fred look teenaged. The face is more rectangular but the features feel more kidlike and it also kind of looks like he’s skinnier. When I look at the design it’s hard to picture Fred’s classic voice coming out of it, and instead I immediately imagine the voice Scott Menville does for Teen Titans Robin.I guess he also looks like Harry Potter’s bully, Dragon Malone or whatever.

I saw your Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad post and I'm curious, what makes characters less like people and more like characters?

I’m guessing you mean after Season 4. That’s when we get introduced to wacky less believable characters like 

these guys. The Salamanca twins. When they first appear, it has a very tacky feeling that just pulls us away from what has otherwise been a sympathetic and believable story. We are introduced first to characters like Walter White, a desperate has-been high school science teacher, and Jesse Pinkman, a pathetic high school dropout junkie. These are characters and people we see every day. The first time we see something unbelievable, it’s Tuco. And really, there is nothing quite like Tuco. But since he is just about the only wacky thing, we are able to forgive it and move on. 

As we delve deeper into the world of the cartel, it becomes less and less familiar. And that’s fair and understandable. But the characters become more like caricatures. The Salamanca twins look like characters you would see in a cartoon. They’ve got great cartoon character design tbh. They do everything in unison

Every time they show up, we see this:

They are essentially a caricature. They have no voices (unless it’s necessary to the plot). Tbh they don’t have humanity or depth like we have seen so far in all the other characters. (I could say the same about Walt Jr tbh being a character - the crippled son, with little personality outside of his role as the crippled son, but again, you’re willing to overlook his lack of character development because hey he’s not the star of the show).

We are also soon introduced to Saul Goodman - one of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE characters in the show. There is absolutely nothing believable about this guy. He literally looks like he popped out of his own cartoon show, the sleazy used car salesman. Everything about him is fake, gaudy, and gimmicky. Nothing about him is real. These characters take away from the tangible realness of the BrBa universe. It’s hard for us to imagine people like this in real life because tbh they are cartoons.

The reason why I loved the first 1-4 seasons of BrBa was the grungy realness of it all. You could feel Walt’s desperation because you could imagine being there. But by the time we’re in Season 4-8, we lose the ability to sympathyse with Walt in a believable way and we are introduced to an increasingly wacky cast.

That said, all of these characters fit perfectly into Better Call Saul (which if I’m being honest is actually a better show than BrBa). It explores this absolutely unbelievable fake veneer of a man to see what makes him... real. Where is the realness of the most fake character? And that’s what’s so great about that show is that it brings in BrBa’s raw realness to a character we otherwise understood to be not real. All the wacky characters belong on that show because there is nothing normal about Jimmy McGill’s life. Or, we could say everything is normal about his life except for him, and so in a way, he simply just queers his surroundings. Because he is so not-normal, everything he touches is thus impacted. Like the midas touch of queerness. (I use queer here in a more academic sense than queer “lgbtq”). Becuase the premise of BCS is “Let’s see how we got to this fake veneer of a man” we are already primed to accept caricatures. Everything about Jimmy’s life is sort of a caricature. It’s just a different sort of mood, telling the story from a different perspective.

Don’t get me wrong - I love the later seasons of BrBa for other reasons. Gus Fring, Saul Goodman, Gale Boetticher, and Mike Ehrmantraut are my alltime fave characters of the show and they all come later). But there was a point at which BrBa lost that raw realness that made the characters and plot tangible to the audience and that happened around Season 4. It went from something that “could be real” to a TV show. 

Does my explanation make any sense?

Sally and Grimoire have such great chemistry :D how do you think they spend time after work?

As we all know, private investigators can never rest, so they’re moving onto their next case right now! Or they’re playing Cluedo. GOTTA KEEP THEM DETECTIVING SKILLS SHARP
