  Hope you all enjoy this in-depth look into the world of Gene Takovic. It almost feels like it became a different show towards the end, but still maintained that same level of quality.<br><br>Here is &apos;The Brilliance of Better Call Saul&apos; playlist if you wish to see my analysis of other episodes:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLceuGaxdwSJU5PZtzH9-sa0vZCNjhSBti">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLceuGaxdwSJU5PZtzH9-sa0vZCNjhSBti</a>

  For Jimmy, being Gene Takovic was just as bad as being in prison.

  I&apos;m starting to think Jimmy was smarter than Walt, at least in street &nbsp;smarts and common sense. Better call Saul. Walter couldn&apos;t have made it without him

  James McGill = 11 Letters, Saul Goodman = 11 letters, Gene Takovic = 11 letters... the eleventh hour means the last possible moment to take care of something, and often implies a situation of urgent danger or emergency

  He didn’t learn from Walter White, he learned from Kim, apply the best carrot and the best stick.

  There&apos;s something really poetic about Walt and Jimmy both using the vacuum cleaner&apos;s service, and both of them being unable to stay there. I don&apos;t think Jesse had the same problem because Jesse was able to find closure before he left. If Jesse got in the van the first time, he probably would have ended up back in Albuquerque just like Walt and Jimmy did.

  My two favourite montages were Jimmy leaving Davis &amp; Main, with the brightly coloured &apos;dancing&apos; car lot &apos;dolls&apos; inspiring him with his suits, and the use of &apos;Big Rock Candy Mountain&apos; in the lab excavation shots. Just brilliant!!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp2-Qv3IXZI&amp;t=1977">32:57</a> Good job. You are like the first video essay ever who didn’t take side with Kim in this conversation.<br>Everyone else all chastised Jimmy as an absolute villain in this scene even though what he said was right and Kim herself knew it.<br><br>That’s why I think this scene <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp2-Qv3IXZI&amp;t=2021">33:41</a> and the scene when Mike visited Nacho’s dad are the most important scenes of the whole show because they are meant to disillusion the audience from their favorite characters’ actions. The audience have a quite well-balanced opinions on Jimmy and Walter because the shows never fail to remind us that they are bad guys but not the same for Mike and Kim, who are the most loved characters of the franchise. These scenes are crucial to remove the bias.
