John from Cincinnati Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Spoiler Seems about right. On 5/24/2022 at 1:48 PM, John from Cincinnati said: If they keep it consistent with BB, Saul either won't know Lalo's dead or potentially goes on believing that no assurance Lalo is dead will ever be reliable and worries he could reappear at any time. We lose an all-time great villain, but now with that wrapped up they have five episodes to do who knows what with. A fine trade-off.
NoFistsJustFlips Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 This show man. Fucking incredible. Especially this episode and the previous. Kind of fun to know... Spoiler ...technically Lalo & Howard are in Breaking Bad. You know buried under the lab and what not. Also how heartbreaking is it that Howard's body will never be found, and worse than that he shares a grave with the guy that killed him? This show is so good. I have no idea what these last five will even touch on now that the board is getting cleared.
RandomAct Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Great GREAT acting from Jonathan Banks in this episode. Just some great facial stuff with him showing how much he is just *over* this life. Him showing a little respect to Howard at the end, acknowledging that he deserved none of this, was great. 3 1
Technico Support Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Holy shit, best hour of TV I've seen in quite a while. Loved the cat and mouse game of Lalo vs Gus. LOL @ the Decoy Gus, BTW. It's also so cool how we probably thought Lalo being taken off the board was some season finale thing, but instead he's done with just as the second half starts. No idea what we get now but it's going to be nuts. Such a great show. Stray observations: I LOVED Gus making sure Pollos Hermanos was all set for the week WHILE getting a bullet removed from his side Pollos Hermanos' jingle is sung to the tune of La Cucaracha So the ABQ police and DEA find the bodies when digging out the superlab?

I was trying to remember if Mike had ever interacted with Howard and if so, how much beyond maybe punching a parking lot ticket. So failing that memory, I took Mike's look and emotions as two fold. One, just the pure annoyance or frustration with Jimmy that he fucked with Howard's life to the point Howard was in the wrong place at the wrong time and two, that Howard was a decent enough guy that didn't deserve to get caught in the cross fire. And there's 5 episodes left. Holy shit. 2
Throat Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Mike probably also felt bad that pulling surveillance on Jimmy and Kim's condo made Howard's death possible. I wonder if Howard and Lalo were found when the torched lab was discovered after Gus died. Did the DEA dig that deep while investigating it? Probably not. But maybe! 2

He sounded so annoyed with that line. 2
Swift Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 With just five episodes left, I'd guess we're gonna be leaving the McGill timeline next week, moving into BB, and then the final episode or two in the Gene timeline. 2

There was a thing with an episode title that was one thing, but then changed that may point to how this'll be structured. Spoiler Episode 10 was called "Walt and Jessie" (keeping with the theme of "_____ and ______" episode titles this season), but was then changed to "Nippy", I believe.
Technico Support Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Speaking of episode titles and Gilligan's love for theming them, it still sucks that the trademark law fucked up the pattern for season 1. All episodes were one word titles ending in "O" (uno, mijo, Nacho) but they had to rename the one that was to be called "Jello." Edited July 15, 2022 by Technico Support 1
Curt McGirt Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Uh oh. I just thought about this. Spoiler If they DID dig up the grave, and found Howard and Lalo together, that is an immediate link and search for Jimmy. It seems so simple and obvious but overlooked. 1
John from Cincinnati Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Who knows if they'd even be able to identify them before Saul leaves town. There's also a multi-month time jump in season five of Breaking Bad well prior to the episode where Saul is headed out of ABQ, so anything could be happening during that period. 1
Swift Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Hmm, in a place with a million miles of desert, maybe it's not such a great idea to bury bodies on your own property.
The Great ML Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Spoiler Hmmm...so Breaking Bad era Saul Goodman had hookers frequent his tacky palace. At least he was nice enough to splurge for a nutritious breakfast. I fully expected Mr Mayhew to walk in the door at the end of the episode. We haven’t seen the last of Slippin Kimmy...she will be in the Gene timeline, IMO.
John from Cincinnati Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Reed Diamond is a dang cutie. Get it, Gus. Spoiler
Craig H Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Gutted. I mean, you knew it was going to happen, but it doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking. I honestly don’t know if I want to finish out the season now. I probably will just to see how it ends, but there was just so much sad closure to so many things. And somehow this episode made me dislike Walter even more for what he did to Mike. 2
John from Cincinnati Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 And just in time because we’re almost certainly seeing Walt next week! 1
John from Cincinnati Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Oh shit Spoiler Just found out Kim is from Nebraska
