>watches a character driven show in which the influences of the characters drive the plot >gets shocked when the last remaining vestige of the most significant character in the protagonist's becomes a focal point of the season where that character fully burns his old life to the ground

Yeah its hard to watch hours of "entertainment" of a man getting thoroughly ruined by endless contrivances. That said, we're watching the last six episodes to see them lose and suffer. I have a bad feeling the show will go full subversion and have them get away with it and reunite for a happy ending.

Fuck Howard, faggot yes man for chuck. He needed a bullet to the brain.

Lalo is far too competent, its like he is from a different show. Then again we have the Terminator twins dragging shit down too. I guess they felt Lalo needed to be hyper competent and lethal so people would forget they're watching a prequel so we know he loses anyway and achieves nothing against Fring. Or the reveal is that he exposes the lab to Eladio who doesn't care anyway because Gus makes him a lot of money.
It does feel a bit like the sudden demonization if Daenerys in the last season of GOT. The writers are rushing the transition from likeable Kimmy to unlikable Kimmy, probably because they knew that the viewers wouldn't want to watch unlikable protagonists for very long.

He took the high road at every opportunity, confronted every challenge head on and kept his dignity and soul intact. Even at the end he was going easy on Jimmy and letting him "fight it out" in the ring because he sympathized with the pain and grief Jimmy was still going through for Chuck - the very pain Howard himself went through before and came out the other side better and stronger.
Howard is there to be a shining light in this story about con-artists and grifters, showing by contrast what pathetic cockroaches Jimmy and Kim have become as they skulk in the shadows and consort with psychopath serial killers. That's why they hated him, because in him they could see their own failures. Howard's very existence disproved all their excuses and rationalizations for why they should be allowed to lie, cheat and steal.
It's a shame he's gone from the show but if he had to die, then at least he went out like a man.
I hated her at the end of season 5. I had to wait all this time and watch all these episodes knowing poor Howard was going to get super JUST'd because of that twisted cunt. As long as they pay the price it'll be worth it I guess. Still have a sinking feeling the show will have them win at the end though.
Xavier Thomas
but she had a rough childhood :(

Lalo is pretty much the Salamancas version of Mike

>better call saul is about saul's descent into becoming an utterly amoral unethical lawyer >become shocked when the final season is about exactly that
Julian Taylor
it was fine for Saul, plus consistent with the previous seasons with Kim it has been forced and cringe

the show already fails to measure up to BB. there is a lot of padding this season, like the whole "arm in the cast" autismo. What even is the point of that except adding some cheap cliffhanger for a single fucking episode? BB Season 5 is pure thrill from beginning to end. This retarded BCS season has moments where I just shitpost on Any Forums while watching like I'm doing right now.
I was reading the general thread after the episode had just ending, reminded me of a reddit thread. No thinking just OMG MAIN CHARACTER KILLED OTHER MAIN CHARACTER.
