Jimmy doesn't realize that Lalo dies via Mike at the end of the series and when he's kidnapped he starts blaming Nacho to shift blame from him and Kim

honestly, i think lalo’s gotta be alive at that point. either dies between BB season 2 and 4, or somehow manages to trick gus.

Just one more thing!
Lalo will be shown digging up the body of Hank, leaping to the heavens and bringing his soul back down, then he'll do a "we may be on different sides but we have a common enemy" speech and that will set up a new sequel series where Hank and Lalo try to find Nacho together.

"I hope you like waking up at 6 a.m. and having your favorite things destroyed. P.S. Forgive me because I'm cuter than that $50 wire I just ate."
I want a happy ending for Kim and Gene, and the Walt and Jesse scenes to establish that Kim was part of Saul’s life during the events of Breaking Bad. I’ll take whatever they give me though.

- All the Gene prelude, tension building set ups are red herrings and are just there to demonstrate Jimmy's paranoia. I don't think we get a Gene Cinabon payoff.

This would be absolutely awful.

The Walt scenes could be from when he and Saul were hiding at the vacuum guy's place. Saul just kinda disappeared from BB after their final scene together so maybe we get the two of them once more in the vacuum shop.

So much of these cool predictions will have to wait for August when part 2 drops. :(

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a million miles from the truth. They started setting up a series of vignettes about the paranoia of an old, broken man 7 years ago and so far they've stuck to that premise. I'm fully expecting a thematic or character based payoff rather than a narrative one.

They also said.there would be some payoff there because it would be crazy to not have one, during the long wait between seasons 5 and 6.

Hey, I said everything I predicted would be wrong :shrug:

I just don't think it's gonna be some thing where he's being hunted down by someone really dangerous and more like he's so on edge all the time that he thinks it's worse than it is. Guess we'll see soon.

That's Bob Odernkirk explicitly saying he's guessing that there'll be some sort of ending for Gene's character arc but has no idea. :shrug:

I'm thinking it'll be this. By that point in his life literally everyone connected with this whole saga will be dead or long gone but he's just a wreckage of a human being.

A new viewer to BCS who hasn't seen BrBa: "Hmmm... These black and white scenes of Jimmy hiding out under an assumed name. What could have possibly happened to have caused THAT?!

Oh, it's from two characters who make quick cameos in season 6? Huh..."

Like many have said, whatever we think is going to happen is likely wrong but like... how could the main two characters from the original show that was the leading cause of Jimmy hiding from the feds be only in like... 1 or 2 scenes? I just don't get it but I'm sure it'll all come out in a great way.

Anyone know if AMC is putting the episodes up on Amazon or Hulu when they premier? Curious where one might catch it live that isn't AMC's main website.

i think this would actually be very easy to pull off if the show was more told from jimmy's perspective. you know, a shady guy reflecting on his life is always gonna gloss over details, so going from "yeah I used to run with drug cartel guys...now i'm stuck here doing this poo poo" and leaving out walter white really wouldn't feel like a stretch. but with the more ensemble focus I think they do need to a bit more connective tissue. we'll see what happens

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

At a certain point there's got to be a limit to how much they can accommodate viewers who haven't seen the show to which this show is a prequel. I wouldn't expect them to try and make BCS completely standalone from BB, it sounds like it would be awkward as hell to try. Having said that, Vince and crew are batting 1000 with me since 2007 so :shrug:

They're getting more goats. I don't think Lalo is upset but that he purposefully went to that guy because he's the right build so he's going to kill him and leave his corpse.
