Does the Casper plot really take place in Germany?
editActually I do not believe that this scene takes place in Germany. Lalos BMW has an Austrian license plate from Salzburg. The forest also looks like an alpine forest. Of course it also can be the southernmost part of Bavaria, but why would Lalo then drive an Austrian car? Because of this I also am not sure if the Margarethe plot in the preceding episode actually takes place in Germany. Chaddy (talk) 01:45, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, we have director comments that it was to take place in Germany for both episodes. [1] --Masem (t) 01:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the article link. Then I have read to much into this. Normally in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul many details actually have a meaning. But this one may just be carelessness or a mistake. Chaddy (talk) 17:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

- @Onegreatjoke: More of a comment than a review for now, but I'm not sure if this hook is going to intrigue anyone who isn't a Breaking Bad fan or is unfamiliar with Esposito or Gus Fring. Can you propose some other hooks here? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:25, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'll propose these for now
- "... that a scene in "Axe and Grind" would have included a crane but the cameraman refused to execute it?"
- "... that "Axe and Grind" has a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes?"
- Might think of more later but ill see if you like it Narutolovehinata5. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- I think there might be some promise with the crane hook but it may need to be revised somehow; the wording sounds strange. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'd rewrite it as something like this:
- ALT3 ... that a scene in "Axe and Grind", an episode of Better Call Saul, was supposed to be filmed with a crane but was changed because the cameraman declined to execute it?
- I understand this is longer than the original hook, but I think it flows better. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:19, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

- Article was promoted to Good Article within seven days of nomination. Plenty long enough. As I understand it, plot summaries for articles on fictional works don't require citations as they implicity cite the episodes themselves as sources. Article is neutral, and I could find no close paraphrasing. The corresponding sentence in the article about the crane as originally phrased—
"He originally wanted to film the parking lot sequence with a crane that would leave and return to the characters as they talked"
—confuses me as it makes it sound like the characters would've left the frame. I reworded the sentence to clarify what I think Esposito meant: telescoping away from the characters and meeting them at their final blocking point. ALT3 is incorrect because the shot was not supposed to show a crane, it was supposed to be filmed with a crane (crane shot). Pinging @Onegreatjoke and Narutolovehinata5:. DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2022 (UTC)- I've changed ALT3 per above, is that okay now? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:39, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- There was a missing word; fixed it. Approve ALT3. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
