Im done with Better Call Saul… (read below)

I'm done with Better Call Saul. After three rewatches, I just can't unsee this anymore.

I’ve always considered Better Call Saul to be the pinnacle of television craftsmanship. The writing, the cinematography, the character development, flawless. Or so I thought.

But during my third rewatch, at 9:13 of Season 2, Episode 7 ("Inflatable"), I noticed something I hadn’t before.

A Kia Soul.

Yes. A green Kia Soul drives past Jimmy McGill. In a scene set in 2002.

Now, for those unfamiliar, the Kia Soul wasn’t released until 2008. That’s a full six years of anachronism gliding casually through what was supposed to be a perfectly reconstructed early-2000s Albuquerque.

At first, I tried to rationalize it. Maybe it was a prototype. Maybe it was a mistake they’d digitally fix in post. Maybe I was the problem. But the more I sat with it, the more everything began to unravel.

I paused the episode. I stared at the screen. Then I stared at myself. Then I stared into nothing.

This wasn't just a background error, it was a breach of trust. A violation of the sacred bond between creator and viewer. Vince Gilligan, a man I once admired, practically revered, let this happen under his watch.

I stood up. My legs trembled. My heartbeat was irregular. I knocked over a framed photo of my family during a sudden, involuntary twitch of betrayal.

I tried to call my brother to talk it through. He said, “it’s not that deep.” He’s blocked now.

My wife asked me what was wrong, and I whispered, “a Kia Soul.” She’s been crying in the other room for 45 minutes. My dog won’t stop barking. The baby next door is wailing like it senses a spiritual disturbance.

I’m currently pacing in the dark, whispering “2002… 2002…” while gripping a remote I no longer trust. My family is scared. My neighbors called the cops. I’m not allowed near the TV anymore.

All of this... for a Kia Soul.

So yes, I’m dropping the show. I’m done. Finished. Ruined. Vince, I defended El Camino. I even liked season 4. But this? This is unforgivable.
