I definitely did the chef kiss in real life when this camera perspective hit:

Peanut Butler posted:It's my assumption that he took what Kim said both at face value and to heart, and is going to make Nacho drive him down there to get his house in order Saul told the truth --> This woman's got a point. I don't trust most of the people I'm working with, better try to sort that poo poo out. Saul is lying but wasn't in on it --> This woman definitely has a point. Someone on my side is responsible, need to sort that poo poo out immediately. Saul is lying and was in on it --> He still showed up with the money and got me out, so it wasn't Saul's play. Someone is going to great lengths to gently caress me, somehow. Can't kill Saul, then they'll know for sure that I know something's up. I feel like Lalo is smart enough to consider all those options when Kim is making her case, and realizing that the smartest move is assuming Saul is compromised but not acting immediately on that. The actual valuable knowledge is who is trying to screw him, and he might learn the truth of Saul's involvement when he figures that out, so no need to spend too much time on it now.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I really, truly don't think Kim will die. She might have to be disappeared, but Saul in BB definitely doesn't carry himself as a man who tragically lost someone he deeply loved like a year or two previous. I know Kim wasn't even a character when BB was being written, but they have to (or should) realistically deliver Jimmy to the type of person Saul is in BB, and Kim's death, I feel, gets in the way of that, big time.

Tender Bender posted:I love the Jimmy/Kim stuff as usual, but agree with folks saying that the cartel stuff felt like such dead weight. This show is at its weakest when it tries to be Remember Breaking Bad, and a cartel assassin hit squad involving only characters outside the main cast is a weak way to end a season. Lalo's gonna be a terrifying force of nature when he returns to Albuquerque, but we didn't need to spend half of an extra long finale to get him from where he already was to that point. That said, spending that much time on it definitely has to mean the Lalo/Nacho situation is gonna be the major focal point of the next season, otherwise it just seems pointless. Speculation: The Sandpiper scam is gonna somehow end with Howard getting killed when he tries to confront Jimmy at exactly the wrong time. mobby_6kl posted:Anyway. Good episode but I'm not sure I'm buying Kim's development entirely. She was threatened by a cartel boss in her own home and learned that her husband was almost executed in the desert for a hundred grand, and instead of shaking from the Adrenalin, she wants to destroy Howard now because he's selfish or something? For a moment it looked like she was loving with Jimmy when she got back but looks like they're actually going with it. SpiderHyphenMan posted:The thing is though that unlike the Twins, Lalo is actually cool and fun to watch. The problem is that they wrote in a threat against him that was literally impossible for him to overcome without that threat making an idiot out of itself.

Regy Rusty posted:A lot of what we see of Saul in BB, especially early on, is him putting on the sleazy act for clients. And honestly he never actually develops a close relationship with any of the main characters on the show, nothing like what he has with Kim in BCS. So there aren't that many opportunities to see what he's like beneath the surface.

Rochallor posted:Rather than the cartel stuff in general it's the Gus/superlab stuff in particular which feels extraneous. It really seems like a bad idea to bring Gus into the show, at least the way they did it. They establish him as being under the thumb of the big boys down Mexico way, which is the same state he was in at the beginning of Breaking Bad, so there's not much else he can do except be secretly disobedient. Like if they'd had a story about him falling back under the thumb of the cartel, or extricating himself from a different situation we didn't see, there might be a story there. You could probably wring something out of Gus establishing a network or getting in with Madrigal, something which might even require some legal consultation. I do like the idea of the Madrigal connection getting more play, of Gus using his legitimate business as a cover for activities he doesn't want the cartel to know about, just as much as it's a cover vis-a-vis law enforcement. Admittedly in large parts because I want to see how you approach convincing the most nervous woman in the world to join your criminal empire when you're not even an empire yet.

OctaviusBeaver posted:If you can drug him by handing him a damp piece of paper then the rest of the scheme is pointless. Just give him drugs and he'll act weird at the hearing, why bother with the country club and fake bribe? They didn't play on his character flaws like with Chuck or the Mesa Verde guy, they just drugged him so he freaked out. It's a court room super weapon but I predict it will never come up again.

CJacobs posted:Howard kinda sounds like if Patrick Bateman were genuinely sane instead of just pretending to be. That kind of intonation where there is absolutely nothing but vast empty space behind his words and voice as he describes something in depth, except without the part where he runs around screaming and chasing women naked and armed with a chainsaw.

Pretty juvenile, but I guess she sees and is disgusted by that too Both being sort of parallels to Gus deciding not to pursue his romantic interest in the Wine Man.

And then Tuco's just like "I've got to take care of my Tio!" And credits roll.

He might slip a bit but it was Chuck telling him that he's never going to be a real lawyer, after he fought tooth and nail for legitimacy while also taking care of his batshit insane rear end in a top hat brother, that made him say gently caress it.
