TheScarf Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Perhaps the Howard stuff is Kim's downfall? There has been suggestions online that Kim was the mastermind behind a lot of the stuff Saul did in BB as a kind of 'silent partner' but I'm not so sure. I reckon she gets caught and jailed for something that happens to Howard. Edit - She seems well more up for causing him damage than Saul does IMO.

Christophe Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Was thinking after episode 4 that Cliff is possibly not being taken in by the set-up and is onto them... although have just watched the trailer for episode 5 and... a confrontation between Cliff and Howard on there would suggest not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Another beautifully directed cold open with a lovely vocal accompaniment. Spoiler Lalo clearly has Kim, Jimmy and even Gus rattled. Gus going to the excavation site, hiding his ankle gun and pacing out the distance between there and the power switch suggests a future shoot out in the dark. How did Lalo find Werner's wife? Will the paperweight maker's label somehow lead him to the future shootout? Howard punching lumps out of Jimmy was mildly amusing but that strand of the story seems like a distraction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just finished season 5 after binge-watching this for the last few weeks. Utterly phenomenal and I can't wait to see how Lalo reacts. It's just excellent tv. Well written, brilliantly acted and there's very few wasted scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Good stuff but probably my least favourite of the S6 episodes so far. Gus's recent paranoia doesn't carry enough risk given we know how his story ends, even if we don't know exactly how it gets there. The Howard stuff is more interesting by what it potentially sets up (as hidden somewhere above) than what it delivered this episode. Still better than anything else that's on TV right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It feels like Jimmy's story is a side story with everything else going on even though he's involved, not that I'm complaining mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfha Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I've not really read any of the above comments as I intend on binging through the first half of the series. BCS must surely be in the best top 10 all time ssries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyten Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Spoiler Kim withholding the Lalo (still alive) info from Saul is very dark. Kim seems to be way more in the game than Saul right now, who still hasn't quite been himself since the Bagman episode imo. I thought Howard might fight back in some way, but maybe not so literally. It felt strange to be rooting for Howard, as I really disliked the guy for a long time. It feels like that since Chuck's passing, Jimmy/Saul has become increasingly unlikeable, whereas Howard has gone in the opposite direction. Another great episode, but being the BB/BCS fanboy that I am it's no surprise. The attention to detail never ceases to amaze.

Christophe Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Boxing scene didn't quite hit for me, but otherwise another great episode. Glad that Howard sussed the con straight away, and the hint from Kim that there was more serious set-ups ahead will make sure this little game of chess continues 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lalo... finds M's address at the money transfer place he broke into after tailing Mike there in season 4....he even finds out here that the Ziegler's have a dog! Fucking insane attention to detail!

This was my take at the time. Spoiler He now has 2 sets of people following him. Who will spot who? Also, Lalo saying the word "lawyers" made me think he will come to Jimmy soon. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Another set up episode, I didn't enjoy it as much this week, felt like a chore getting through it. The scene with Saul and Howard was just bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Another slow "filler" episode today. Some theories... Spoiler Turns out Kim lived in Nebraska as a child...the same Nebraska in which Gene Takovic currently resides. Could it be that Kim returns to her roots at the end of BCS and that Saul somehow surreptitiously influenced Best Vacuum Repair guy to relocate him in Omaha for a future hook up with Kim? Or... Saul learns of the Vet's book of contacts, contained within is a business card for BVR. Could it be that Kim does something so heinous to Howard that she needs to "disappear" and Saul goes to BVR to sort that out for her? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Mid-series finale next week. I think the second part of the series will basically be like a long Breaking Bad episode, with the Howard stuff wrapped up next week. I hope so anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Slow one again but enjoyable nonetheless. Thought they were going to throw us the curve ball of... Lalo dying unceremoniously in Germany, might have been the reason Saul is still throwing line's out like "Did Lalo send you?" in Breaking Bad...everyone still being on the hook wondering when he will reappear not knowing he's snuffed it But thankfully not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
