Better Call Saul has an amazing cast top to bottom. But he's unlike anyone we saw in Breaking Bad.

Tony Dalton does a great job of being charismatic while also being terrifying. Unpredictable, crazy, but still calculating.

definitely feels like some season 8 GoT-style teleporting going on

Not really.

He heard the clicking on the phone and knew that the line was bugged so he hung up. But then he saw the cockroach and it reminded him of Saul because he compared Saul to a cockroach once.

Thats when he decided to fake out Gus by calling Hector again and letting Gus hear that he was going to attack him that night. He knew that Gus would call in all of his guys to protect him and nobody would be watching Saul and Kim so he could approach them without anyone noticing.

Thats really good writing imo

Nonono my issue isn't with the episode specifically, it's lalo all season. Been all over the place in what feels like such a short amount of time

Is he even a villain though?

He's spent the entire show trying to stop a drug kingpin from launching a Meth empire and killing a bunch of people.

His kill count is less than Walts

He is great. One thing I definitely put above BB. BB had Tuco and cartoon characters for twins. BCS has Lalo who is just so devilishly charming and evil.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Well so did Commander Shepard.
So did Mike

I'd say Lalo is more of an anti-hero protaganist. Like Mike or Nacho or Chuck or Howard

Gus is the villain.
Tyrus
Hector
Tuco

Yes. I almost root for him. Loved him from his very first scene on. I was smiling the whole time. I knew he would be awesome.

Lalo is definitely not an anti-hero. Gus is a rival in a goddamn drug cartel to him. They are both rotten assholes. There is no tragedy or twisted noble intentions to Lalo's motivation. He's no more justified than any other mobster or gang member protecting his turf and impressing the bosses.

Not sure how you're separating him from Hector and Tuco, or one of Gus's lackeys.

I like him but that one part in the check cash place was hilariously stupid. I havent seen S5 or 6 of BCS but if he did more of that Ill pass.

that has to be my biggest gripe with both BB and BCS. People gaining super powers in a mostly grounded show *Cough* Face Off.

I always saw the BB/BCS universe as "heightened reality". It's grounded, but not too realistic. It's like a comic book almost. You got Walt's "this is not meth" explosion, Mike taking out a group of guys by himself, the cousins being almost like Terminators, (as you mentioned) that scene in Face Off, the whole M60 machine gun ending...

It's not too bad most of the time and I can suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy it.
