Yeah...Kim's last experience talking truth to power may have just caused her to write a check she cant cash with Lalo.

He put a tracking device in Saul's gas cap. He tracked him to make sure the cash got to where it was intended to go.

They want Lalo bailed and back to Mx to get out of Gus' business.

Don't be.

Wrong

You are a fool. This episode pretty much confirmed it. Hang tight and I will explain, but I need to quote a few more people first.

quote:

Kim is “in the game” now. Ham may just wind up being right.


I figured that we be enough to clue in the slower minded folks, but apparently not, but wait there's more.

quote:

And if she’s killed, how does Saul deal with that?


If this were to happen Saul wouldn't have made it to BB.

quote:

Screen rant has an interesting theory about what happens to Kim.


No they don't. They post one click bait theory every week, I can disprove half of them with BB/BCS facts, no speculation or Easter eggs needed. Don't give them clicks.

They also steal their "theories" from reddit posters that don't reach the top, without giving credit.

I'm a nobody on the TD movie board, but if I find something that I didn't come up with I at least point out that I found it on the interwebs. I don't cite with a source because you guys don't usually care, but if I say it's not mine feel free to ask and I will provide a link.

quote:

he sends Kim into vaccum repair land to save her but she, of course, has to give up everything.


Nope.

quote:

What does she know about Lalo that she can testify to?


I think you missed the point that she doesn't have to testify because they're married. Plus she went in there as a lawyer. There is zero chance anyone could ever compel her to testify.

quote:

Kim will be cashing all the checks. ISZA.

quote:

Lalo is going to kill her.

quote:

As far as information goes this episode was definitely quality over quantity.

Let's examine two power quotes from this season.

"So she's in the game"

Mike

" Once you're in, you're in."

Nacho

I honestly can't believe anyone is even doubting me at this point. Vince is spelling it out for you.

That doesn't make any sense. She could testify if she wanted to; she wouldn't need an out. And they've really built up some sort of mythical "spousal immunity" well beyond reality.

Sure she could testify if she wanted to. Do you really believe with 12 episodes left Kim is going to want to testify against Jimmy and the cartel?

Explain to me how this is going to happen. Spoiler alert, it won't.

If she testifies against Jimmy why is he around in BB? She's not saying a word against Jimmy.

There, I said it.

Get Vince's dick out your mouth.


Agree. This thing has really bogged down the last 2 weeks and I don't want to have get wrapped up in a thousand fan theories to make them meaningful

It didn't advance the story much, but this episode was great. It was a throwback to 2 BB episodes.

It was a nod to the episode with Walt and Jessie stuck in the desert because the RV wouldn't start, and also a nod to Ozymandias, the greatest episode of all time in my opinion.

Saul had to get the money out of there on foot, just like Walt.

There's only one theory you should give much credence to.

I think it's also safe to say the first desert scene with Saul in BB he thought Walt and Pinkman were the cousins.

He was trying to speak some lame arse Spanish tonight, just like that scene.

One other thought, Vince is a fan of No Country for Old Men, but he let us see the carnage instead of just the aftermath.

Lalo will use his sources to find out about Kim playing both sides of Mesa Verde. He will find a way to get her in prison.

Saul will then kill Lalo.

That wraps up both characters.

Book it

I see no scenario where Kim is killed by the cartel and then jimmy just goes on practicing the way we see him in breaking bad.

That wasn’t Bolsa. I think it’s just another operation the Salamancas borrow the money from. And the guy is the one who sends the goons after the money

Vince is great at foreshadowing. He made it clear to highlight Kim having no middle name. That has to play in to the story at some point. How do you explain that?

But the 563 Easter eggs and screen shots beg to differ. Follow them and you will find out about ISZA. You know something we all knew about from S2 of BB. Trust me. Follow the eggs. It's all about the eggs.
