Sad to see him go, but he went out on his shield with every ounce of fuck you he had. Spoiler Hell yeah it was. "Oh, just flee and we'll shoot you dead." "Nah man, I got a better idea." 23 hours ago, Craig H said: Hide contents Called Gus the Chicken Man, called out Hector on giving him sugar pills and everything. It sucks that Nacho wouldn't be alive to know what ultimately happened to Hector and the Chicken Man. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to figure out what Kim and Jimmy are going to do Hamlin to further mess with him. Part of me thinks they're going to steal Hamlin's car and try to sell it or do a wild paint job on it. And that talk between Huel and Jimmy. Man that is going to be some dialogue that's going to ring really loudly throughout this whole series. Jimmy has already won. He is a successful lawyer. He's married to an incredibly intelligent and beautiful lawyer. While they have a penchant to mess with people every now and then, I think they're ultimately good people. Jimmy has won at life. So why keep doing dumb shit that's going to get him or Kim in trouble? Huel is all of us screaming at Jimmy to stop while he's ahead. "Not quitting while you're ahead" seems to be a theme in the Breakingbadiverse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the closure is that we just have to assume he is in the clear, but he's just living in fear and terror every day that he'll get caught while churning out confections at Cinnabon and that's juxtaposed against just how good of a life he had by seeing what his life was like before he was full Saul Goodman with a gold toilet and all of that crap. I can't for the life of me recall where I read this recently, and it might be bullshit, but apparently the first half of this split season takes place in the BCS timeline, and the second half takes place in the Gene timeline. Again, very well could be BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flash forward in the first episode gave me big vibes reminding me of the plane crash season of BB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hoping there's not too much Walt and Jesse honestly. I know it's the kind of fan service that can get buzz, but give me the about same amount of Hank we got last season and get me back to the Saul show I've been enjoying oh so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Unless it's Jesse coming down from Alaska and casually nodding to Gene from across the food court as he tucks into a plate of Panda Express, I really don't need Walt or Jesse in this show.

Brandon Bones Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) I gotta be super careful coming in here. Since I’m way behind. Spoiler But I JUST finished the episode where Lalo showed up at the Goodmans place. A squirt of piss every time they cut to the sniper scope POV. Not to mention how I went to a really dark place even after Lalo left and beloved Kim is STILL STANDING IN CLEAR SIGHT OF THE WINDOW! I honestly felt the swerve of Kim’s head just exploding in front of a traumatized Jimmy. Mike did seem irritated over her having any awareness of “the game”. Several breathless moments and a few skipped heartbeats later. Thankfully, the credits rolled. Wow. Edited April 29 by Brandon Bones I fought like hell to fix this goddamn post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Bones Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Caught up last night. I even sprang for AMC+ to make it happen as I was on such a roll ride of momentum. Just fucking wow, dude. The slow burn and build of this show is allowing it to spend the currency of two really well crafted shows. Now they can just go wild. The cast certainly is. I know some peeps are talking about spending more time in Nebraska with Gene. But does anyone think it’s possible that we actually dive into some time parallel to early seasons of BB? If the show projects nothing else. It’s a clear desire to bridge the gap between the two shows. What better way than to insert Kim into the perimeter of storyline already established? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I didn't recognize that either. Man, I loved this episode. There's something about episodes that show you glimpses of the characters lives that I'll always like. I thought the cold open was modern day stuff until the very end and then I was like, holy shit, that whole time Walt was at Gus' house some dude could have just come out of that tunnel to take him out. Loved seeing Mike interact with Kim and it was unbelievable that it was the first time it really happened. I'm hoping those two can have another conversation before this all ends, but I really liked Mike's line about thinking Kim was made of sterner stuff. He's totally right because Kim is the shit. Fun watching Jimmy up to doing silly, Jimmy shit again, but also kinda sad now knowing that Hamlin is in therapy. And really, who parks where there's a cone? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Mike says that, Kim responds by not saying a damn thing about meeting him to Jimmy. She is made of sterner stuff.

RandomAct Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I think we've touched on this before, but I've never felt like Hamlin is an altogether bad person.

The title of the episode was Hit & Run, so I breathed a sigh of relief that all they did with Howard's car was a hooker deal. I thought for sure they were going to hit someone with his car on purpose, or have it happen as an accident they had to roll with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the manifestation of others internal frustrations. Won't be surprised if this storyline ends with him committing suicide.

I didn't recognize him, either. That's some awesome attention to detail. Quote Citing rumors that Heisenberg's associate crushed a man's head with an ATM, Walt asks if Badger should fear reprisals if he snitches. "The guy who got his head smooshed used to be a client of mine. His wife killed him," Saul replies. Also, never, ever forget that cucumber water is for paying customers only.
