Fwiw “wet work” refers to murder/assassination.

You could maybe get that in the Gene world, but not sure how in the Saul world.

They can’t really kill anyone else. They are all in BB (assuming Gene was talking to Kim, meaning she doesn’t die in the Saul world either)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

How about I start a running list of theories as to what this episode's title refers to?

1. Space on a Monopoly board one space removed from "go to jail"
2. Kim's "sprinkler company"
3. Tears. Many, many tears.
4. "Wet works" hired guns.
5. ISZA
ETA:
6. Water works refers to sleepy time water bottle working overtime (SECClint I think)
7. Water works digs into remnants of superlab and Lalo and Howard's remains are found, or some varition thereof. (ILurkThereforeIam).

Reply and I'll update the list.

I know there's a new season and I need to get into it, but I can't remember where I left off in the series. Did I see the last season? It's been so fricking long I can't remember.

Do you know who Lalo Salamanca is? If not, start with Season 4.

Wait, was that Giancarlo Esposito? Or the guy in the wheelchair? I remember when that dude got his face half blown off but I think that might have been in Breaking Bad.

I think the last season I saw, Michael McKeon suicieded himself by burning the house down. Was that last season?

It would have taken less effort to look it up than to ask here.

No predictions but I hope Saul goes to prison or is killed.

Oh FFS. HEading into Ozymondius walt and jesse have turned on each other and they are in the desert wiht all the money, walt has given himself up to hank, then the nazis arrive and open fire. So going into those last 3 episodes we're asking

-wtf happens with this shootout
-what happens with all the money buried out there
-what ultimatley happens with walt
-what ulaimtely happens wiht jesse
-what happens with hank and gomey since they are there at the shootout
-what happens with other people in the meth game like lydia
-what happens with walt's family
-what happens with saul


Heading into the final 2 episodes of BCS we're asking

-what happens with kim
-what happens in teh present day with the person known as jimmy/saul/gene

aaaaaand that's about it. Everyone else involved in the drug game from the salamancas to mike to gus to the 2 drug dealers that captured saul in an RV...we know their story. We know what happens with francesca. The law firm stuff is wrapped up. Based on them showing us the extravagant lavish life saul lives (after the kim breakup fast forward) we assume the sandpiper case was resolved. There simply isn't a whole lot of story left to tell other than the final outcome of jimmy and kim which can easily be done in 2 episodes.


Some of yall seem to forget that:

1) The entire first half of this series, multiple seaosons, moved at a glacial pace. If you weren't binging it could be a bit of a chore

2) These writers have nailed the landing pretty much 100% of the time. They haven't given us any history of fricking up an ending yet so I see no reason to expect them to start now.

What’s everyone think about them showing Saul in the grave before transitioning to the Gene timeline? Foreshadowing or a pump fake? I’m the worst show predictor on the planet but it seems like that piece of it along with them likely dissolving assets in the season opening could mean Saul’s death?

Damn this show is good and tonight will be fun. Great weekly entertainment while we wait on football season.

To add to this, the best storylines in BCS have revolved around Mike, Gus, and the cartel. All of those stories have concluded, so now they just need to wrap up the few loose ends.

I think it was generally understood that it was a seizure after he skipped town. The feds wouldn’t wait on him to die to take the benefits of his illegal activity.

I’d be a little surprised if he dies. Seems like a survivor. But who knows.

They are 1/1… breaking bad

What other endings are you referencing? Season endings?

In real time I was like "well...that's not a good sign for saul". Reminded me of ozymondius when walt is looked at a bullet hole in a car and the refelction of his face is over the bullet hole. Granted he didn't get shot in the head but that was ultimately his fate. These writers love foreshadwoing but man that one was so obvious it beats you over the head with it so I'm in the same boat as you...seems likely to indicate a death but it could also be SO blatant that it was a fake out. In other words I have no idea ha.
