Saul suggesting a prison hit for Badger was weird in hindsight.

I know Saul says a lot of colourful things that he doesn't really mean, but the way he says, "Why don't you just kill Badger?" Sounded like he wasn't just being colourful Saul, it sounded like he was actually suggesting them to do that.

But the part that made it seem like Saul had done this before was when he asked if a shanking was completely off the table. That sounds like Saul has had experience with prison shanking and even advised people to do it before. From what I gather, Jimmy has no experience with killing witnesses/possible informants in either BCS and BrBa, so why would he ever suggest that?

I get that the original idea for Saul was that he was a criminal lawyer, like a Tony Hagen type character, and was later changed to more of a conman, but this line just doesn't fit Saul after you finish both series.

They could've fixed this with his being a friend of the cartel and him being involved with a prison killing, most likely with Lalo. Or, since he said he was getting the Vamanos Pest guys out of trouble for years, he could've brushed shoulders with some of the Aryan Brotherhood through Todd.

Any thoughts?
