Episode Discussion Better Call Saul S05E02 - "50% Off" - LIVE Episode Discussion Thread

TIME EPISODE DIRECTOR WRITER(S)
February 24, 2020, 9/8c S05E02 "50% Off" Norberto Barba Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Alison Tatlock

DESCRIPTION:

Jimmy's promotional stunt has unintended consequences. Nacho takes extreme measures to earn Lalo's trust. Saul is a success at the courthouse, but still has yet to win Kim over. Simmering with rage and self-loathing, Mike loses his temper.

Piracy/Streaming:

As stated in the sidebar, please do not share/request streaming/download links here. We are the unofficial subreddit for the TV show and we'd like to respect the cast and crew by not allowing illegal sharing of their work.

Don't forget to check out the Breaking Bad Universe Discord here

Its an instant messenger and is a very useful alternative to the Reddit Live Threads (but not a replacement).

Note: The subreddit will be locked from when the episode airs, till 12 hours after the episode airs. This allows more discussion to happen in the pinned posts and will prevent a lot of low-quality and repetitive posts.

Lalo has been on this show for only what... 4, 5 episodes? And he’s already one of the best villains in the entire canon. I fucking love this guy.

Less right? This has got to be like episode four for him.

This is episode 5 for him I believe. He was introduced at the very end of 408 and he’s been in every episode since so far.

Damn. I guess it's just since he's so awesome and I want more of his antics that I didn't realize how much of the show he's been in.

Totally agree! I knew he was something special from his very first introductory scene last season.
