somebody save me a trip to the wiki and remind me: nacho lives through to BB and Lalo doesn't, right?

Neither *exactly* confirmed, Saul mentions both in his first scene as though they’re alive

Lalo absolutely dies because Gus’s whole deal is making a big thing of killing all Hector’s family tho

*of having killed all of Hector’s family, I should say

I was convinced it would end with a twist that Kim was in the car wreck at the end, and had to fast forward to make sure it was all ok.

I had exactly the same thought--that it was her driving up in the car, and that Mike was going to shoot her before he realized.

Something terrible is going to happen to her----and hopefully she'll get her own spin-off series from it. Mini-series or one-shot at least. Breaking Badder, hell yeah. Rhea SEEHORN

Word. She rocks it

i love her. but I have a terrible feeling after this episode that she's going to die.
― akm, Thursday, 9 April 2020 14:24 (four years ago) link
buddy of mine played a role opposite her in a very shitty sitcom with her years before saul and said she was amazing, funny and friendly on set and a consummate professional. i agree that she might be one of the best dramatic actresses doing television today; would love to see her lead a movie or three.

Howard is the other link between old Jimmy and new Saul. I have a feeling he's going to eat it.

And/or she might get kidnapped or have some other close brush that scares her into at least trying to run far away from all this madness. Admittedly I haven't missed Chuck as much as expected, but pretty this show without her would just be grim old balls.I'd like to see a (mostly?) pre-Slippin' Jimmy prequel, where she's maybe new to the firm, mentored by Chuck, in whom the cracks are starting to appear or spread--still got his wife, even (good character, good actress), and good ol' Howard in there, and some ongoing experience, like with a case, gradually makes the idealistic young attorney so anxious that her more shaded tendencies emerge---so we know she's not just the wide-eyed innocent who is turned by Jimmy-to-Saul, as his own darker side takes over---I mean, I think this was always evident to some extent, on some level---but would be good to get more show-not-tell, on that kind of downward path that BB and BCS have (mostly) been so good at cutting and tracking.
― dow, Thursday, 9 April 2020 17:05 (four years ago) link
pretty *sure* this show
love the idea that we keep going back in time with various characters introduced from each spin off. 2032 should see The Adventures of Howard's Grandmom in the Depression

the twins really have great fashion sense

anyway the one thing that made no sense to me was the sniper rifle blowing the truck off the road and causing it to flip over 7 times, that was some real cartoon shit

I suspect Fargo's Kitchen twins (who also dress sporty, never talk, and are really scary) were created with the Salamanca twins in mind.

kim = warren-to-bidenjimmy/saul = probably tulsi mike = bernie-to-trumpgus, lalo = trumphoward = bloomberg hank = a never-trumper, probably a romney guynacho = doesn’t vote, some of his friends are into bernie tho

The thing I liked most was underlining the two sides of a coin duality of Mike & Jimmy/Saul ... and it has a real world Looney Tunes quality, like Mike the sheepdog & Jimmy the wolf all that shit with him trying to dig the hole with the license plate etc Mike’s explanation of his selflessness obviously affects Jimmy in the moment but I like to think we see Jimmy struggle with the weight of that notion, how the fuck do you even DO that? Can I do that? Do I want to do that? I did that with Chuck & look where it got me. I found it kinda revealing in it’s own slow burn way.

anyway my prediction is that Lalo sent those guys with the intention of killing Saul (a guy who knows too much & keeps asking for more money). the idea that he didn't have a guy to inconspicuously pick up money in the middle of the desert seems suspicious to me, you'd think a cartel like that would have a dozen people like that. hope its not true though since that means pretty bad things for Kim
― frogbs, Friday, 10 April 2020 16:03 (four years ago) link
otoh a guy like Saul is invaluable to a cartel like that who knows. of course we do know by the time Breaking Bad starts he's an accessory of Gus/Mike
― frogbs, Friday, 10 April 2020 16:07 (four years ago) link
um, didn't we establish at the start of the episode that the dude who jumped on his cell phone and said "yeah, i got something if you want it" was just selling information to a rival gang about where they could get seven million dollars if they follow where the money was going?

In the pre-credits sequence at the chop shop or whatever it was? I forgot about that but it sounds truer than these other theories
― Microbes oft teem (wins), Friday, 10 April 2020 16:42 (four years ago) link
I don’t know if it was clear. Maybe I missed something but wasn’t the place the twins got the money from connected to the chop shop?
Either way how Jimmy explains this to Lalo is gonna be something...he’s looking for a guy named Mike isn’t he?
― frogbs, Friday, 10 April 2020 16:55 (four years ago) link
He’s like a cucaracha that one, he’ll come up with something
― Microbes oft teem (wins), Friday, 10 April 2020 16:57 (four years ago) link
Didn't see that--who was the guy, how did he know? One of Lalo's contacts on/from the Inside? Lalo would know he couldn't trust such guys, so making use of untrustworthiness? Re Nacho,"He's good for a lot of things," but maybe not w 7 mil--he trust Saul not to take the money and run, eh? Because Saul would be more scared of the cartel? Nacho knows better than to try it, because he does know them better. So, using Saul seems that much more suspect.
― dow, Friday, 10 April 2020 17:01 (four years ago) link
he'll come up with something This is a test?
― dow, Friday, 10 April 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link
it was the start of the episode, prior to the credits. the twins come into a front, go into a locked room, pick up seven mill and leave. As they do, a guy who works there gets on a flip phone and says "hey. i got something for him, if he's still interested."
