Better Call Saul: 10 Ways Howard's Ending Was Perfect (Screen Rant)

The midseason finale killed off one of the show's most significant supporting characters – Chuck's old partner-in-law, Howard Hamlin – in truly shocking fashion ...

Lalo showing up with a gun is both the most unexpected way the prank war storyline could’ve ended and the perfect way to highlight the pettiness of Jimmy’s feud with Howard. Initially, “Plan and Execution” is set up as the farcical tale of Jimmy and Kim scrambling to get their D-Day prank back on track. Howard always tried to be a friend to Jimmy, and as he points out in his final monologue, his life is far from perfect, dealing with debt, depression, and a crumbling marriage. Throughout Better Call Saul’s run, Jimmy and Kim have had a lot of fun conning people and they’ve never faced any serious consequences for their actions – until now. But the midseason finale took the time to remind viewers that Howard is more sympathetic than he seems. The midseason finale killed off one of the show’s most significant supporting characters – Chuck’s old partner-in-law, Howard Hamlin – in truly shocking fashion.

Better Call Saul's Rhea Seehorn Addresses Potential Kim Wexler ... (MovieWeb)

Perhaps a Slippin' Kimmy series will follow Better Call Saul as Rhea Seehorn has confirmed that the idea has been considered by the show's creators.

Seehorn and the Saul team feel that keeping Kim so mysterious throughout the series has actually increased her popularity with fans. Many fans have really taken to the Kim Wexler character over the course of six seasons, and the fan favorite has come up a lot with fans speculating where the next potential Breaking Bad spinoff series could go. Her ultimate fate will presumably be revealed in the final six episodes of Better Call Saul's sixth and final season, which returns to AMC in July.

'Better Call Saul': Howard's Downfall Almost Happened Another Way (Showbiz Cheat Sheet)

Many Better Call Saul fans are still reeling from the death of Howard Hamlin. The HHM lawyer died tragically in the show's latest episode after getting ...

“That’s the story of the rest of the series: What do they take away from this horrible incident that happened right in their living room?” series co-creator Peter Gould told Vanity Fair. “That really propels everything that happens next — and I could not be prouder of what happens next. Mere moments later, Howard was shot down by Lalo Salamanca, who had been waiting in a back room to talk to Saul and Kim. “Just like everything else in Better Call Saul, it’s unfolded one script at a time,” Fabian told Vanity Fair. “So I didn’t know until I read seven. He looked completely unhinged to everyone, leaving Cliff Main with no choice but to agree to settle the case. But it was gonna be a switch where one twin goes over the side of a rail, but the other twin was already laying down at the bottom, all bloody and twisted.” “We had probably a dozen different directions with this plot,” said Schnauz. “The one that sticks in my mind the most involved the skateboarder twins from Season 1 Episode 1.

'Better Call Saul': Peter Gould Says Gus 'Underestimates' Walt in ... (Showbiz Cheat Sheet)

In 'Better Call Saul' Gus Fring is much more nervous about Lalo than he ever was about Walt. Showrunner Peter Gould has a simple explanation.

That air of being in complete and utter control at all times, to some extent, is something of an illusion that he cultivates. And I don’t think Gus can truly see what he’s dealing with in Walter White,” Gould said. Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad show two different sides of Gustavo Fring. In Breaking Bad, Gus is pretty much unshakeable and nothing seems to rattle him. So he’s in kind of a pickle there. Gus never seemed so concerned about Walt, the man who ended up taking him down, and there’s a pretty simple reason why. However, especially in Better Call Saul Season 6, viewers are watching Gus become increasingly nervous.

Better Call Saul season 6 video: Bob Odenkirk, cast on Howard ... (CarterMatt)

We're six days removed from one of the biggest Better Call Saul shockers ever, and we're still not 100% that we've recovered from it.

How they respond will most likely dovetail into the future of their relationship; we already know that Kim is not present in Breaking Bad for a reason. It’s not an easy thing for any of them, but it was also something essential to the story’s overall journey. He could’ve easily been fired, or just decided that it wasn’t worth the trouble to stay out in New Mexico. What we did not anticipate was him getting murdered at Jimmy and Kim’s place by Lalo, who had shown up for a completely different reason.

His brother Chuck is a very good attorney and founder of the law firm HHM, but stopped due to alleged electro-sensitivity. But it was also a way to understand that the series really was. We are very close and for me it was a shock.

We're six days removed from one of the most shocking Better Call Saul episodes ever, and we're still reeling. How could we be in this situation?

We аlreаdy know thаt Kim isn’t in Breаking Bаd for а reаson, so how they respond will most likely аffect the future of their relаtionship. We didn’t expect him to be assassinated at Jimmy and Kim’s house by Lalo, who had arrived for a completely different reason. We expected Howard Hamlin to be written off by the end of the season.

Better Call Saul Perfectly Flips Breaking Bad's Most Brutal Death (Screen Rant)

The twist in Better Call Saul's S6 mid-season finale actually inverts a famous sequence from Breaking Bad, a moment that ends in another tragic death.

By knowing who Lalo is already, Better Call Saul leans into the atmosphere of dread and horror. Where Better Call Saul perfectly flips Breaking Bad is in how it deals with the aftermath of the schemes. Howard's death in Better Call Saul is a cruel twist of fate, which from the beginning seems totally unavoidable considering that Jimmy and Kim's scheme is unnecessary. Howard's death in Better Call Saul, however, comes later in the day. Better Call Saul's season 6 mid-season finale shares many similarities with Breaking Bad's "Dead Freight" episode, especially in how both center around a scheme that faces a race against the clock. Jimmy and Kim's scheme in Better Call Saul begins perfectly.

Better Call Saul: 9 Characters Who Pushed Jimmy To Become Saul (Screen Rant)

Which Better Call Saul characters did the most to push Jimmy McGill into becoming Saul Goodman?

In order to outsmart his brother, Jimmy tossed all the rules out the window, and he never went back to them again. Jimmy gets into the cartel world even deeper when he is sent to retrieve Lalo's bail money in the desert and gets in the crosshairs of cartel rivalries, but he is ultimately successful in getting Lalo the money, which gets Lalo out of jail. Jimmy could now embrace the manipulative, sneaky, unscrupulous way of practicing the law that was natural to him without feeling guilty and trying to be a person that Chuck would respect. Even though Cliff Main was a generous and fair boss, Jimmy soon realized he didn't like working in a corporate environment where he couldn't take ownership of his work and bend the rules, even when it was better for the clients. Howard Hamlin liked Jimmy McGill, even giving him the nickname "Charlie Hustle" since he saw Jimmy as a real go-getter. After the incident with Tuco, Nacho realized how invaluable Jimmy could be and forces Jimmy to be his lawyer when he is in trouble. Enraged by a con that Jimmy and two skater brothers tried to pull on his grandmother, Tuco took Jimmy and the brothers into the desert. Their relationship became much more complex when Mike hired Jimmy to be his lawyer, with both of them doing dishonest things to help each other. Lalo insists that Jimmy needs to convince the judge to grant bail. When Lalo Salamanca is charged for murder, he has Saul Goodman represent him in court, seeing as Saul already successfully represented individuals like Nacho Varga and "Krazy-8" in the Salamanca organization. Tuco Salamanca was the first Better Call Saul character who connected Jimmy McGill to the world of the cartel. When Jimmy returned to Cicero years later, he and Marco reunited and rekindled their scams, and rediscovered the joy of conning and outsmarting people for money.

Better Call Saul Fans Can Get Their Rhea Seehorn Fix at Cooper's Bar (Bleeding Cool News)

But while we're going to be going through some serious Kim Wexler withdrawal over the next few weeks, we have AMC Networks to thank for offering us more Seehorn ...

Episode 1: Of all the gin joints in town, the biggest dick in Hollywood walks into Cooper's backyard tiki bar. The series follows the antics of character actor Cooper (Lou Mustillo, Mike & Molly) and the unique group of LA natives who frequent his neighborhood bar, with Seehorn playing an awful Hollywood executive (described as "The Biggest Dick in Hollywood) who's a regular at Cooper's makeshift watering hole. On the plus side, it gives us time to develop a number of our theories on how the series will wrap up (like our "coathanger theory" here), especially what happens to Rhea Seehorn's Kim Wexler. But while we're going to be going through some serious Kim Wexler withdrawal over the next few weeks, we have AMC Networks to thank for offering us more Seehorn in the form of the new digital online series Cooper's Bar– and we have all six episodes waiting for you below.

Gus Fring's Backstory Tease Could Set Up Breaking Bad's Next ... (Screen Rant)

Is another Breaking Bad spinoff in the pipeline? A subtle clue from Gus Fring in Better Call Saul season 6 hints toward a prequel for the Chicken Man.

Though Better Call Saul does feel like a natural endpoint for the Breaking Bad franchise overall, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have already defied expectations with one spinoff. With genuine authenticity in his voice, Gus answers, "I think of the guidance that I had as a child." When Mike allowed himself to be badly assaulted in Better Call Saul season 5, Gus sent him to a Mexican village with a fountain dedicated to his late partner. By dropping these teeny tiny teases of Gus Fring's past, Better Call Saul only builds anticipation - intentionally or otherwise - to watch that tale play out fully in a future spinoff. Breaking Bad already added to the Gus Fring enigma by hinting his entire identity is a lie, with no records of a "Gus Fring" in Chile whatsoever. Giancarlo Esposito has repeatedly expressed interest in a Gus-based spinoff over the years, maintaining his character's origin and rise to power hold enough intrigue to warrant further exploration.
