Damn that was so good. Kim has some brass balls to talk like that to Lalo.

I don't know what Gilligan's plan for Kim's character was when he first developed this show but Rhea Seehorn is the best part of the show. I don't see how they can get rid of her at this point. I distinctly remember her going off on Hamlin either last season or the one before and realizing how good she is with that character. Tonight she may have bested herself

Kim and Lalo could both get Emmy nominations for this season. They've both been great.

Wow..that final scene was some of the best TV in either BB and/or BCS.

Kim saved the day (and Saul and her life)

That the most tense I’ve been watching a show since the season finale of The Americans. My family has actually been to the gas station in the opening. They have some of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. How do they change the look of a Filming location? It was definitely the same place but signs and even a door was different. Do they change that digitally or physically?

If they're on location they'll usually make physical changes to it for art direction and cinematography.. Things like false walls to allow all the camera shots

And the BB universe uses a lot of Dutch angles and experimental camera shots

Refresh my memory on how you know all this stuff, or are you that good at guessing.


Because I know every detail. With the Gus/cartel situation educated guess work is involved based on what we know from both shows, because they're not dropping many eggs about that.

With the Kim situation you have to understand Vince does have an ego. He had the J+K=S idea from the start, but wasn't fully committed. He wants credit for having the idea from the start. He showed you in the first episode, the eggs got stronger from there, and now he is spelling it out for you.

Do we know of vacuum man in BCS or is he only in BB? Between the season lull and El Camino I can't remember.


Jesus Christ, I bet you're one of the assholes that down votes me without a discussion.

Kim's not dying any time soon.

You should, he showed you in the first episode and now he's spelling it out for you.


There were at least (I've only watched once) 3 great eggs in this show.

1. Mike told Gus that Nacho just wants to disappear

2. Just after Kim quit she went back to grab the tequila cork that's associated with her and Jimmy's scamming and Gus's taking down of the cartel.

3. My favorite egg of the show. When Kim comes home Jimmy's keys are laying on a one dollar bill."

"Give me a dollar"

When Kim first said that to Jimmy in season 2 is when I first suspected she was involved and I started looking closer.

Once again, I have no idea how you guys are even doubting me at this point.

The last 10 minutes didn't hit me like it did most of y'all. Mike having a shot on Lalo the whole time kinda cut the tension in the scene.


Also, I'm tired of wimpy Jimmy.

Considering Saul is still worried about Lalo in BB id say he's gonna be around for a while

The last 10 minutes was great, but I think the best scene in this episode was Mike and Saul's talk in the car.

Not sure which man you're speaking of. 2 possibilities. The man who watched the cousins pick up the money and made the call from a cartel facility. He's a nobody. He set up the hit on the cash for Juan Bolsa in order to keep Lalo in prison.

The second from tonight's episode was Juan Bolsa himself. He made a move to keep Lalo locked up and come away with the 7 million. He's cartel, but not a Salamanca. He played it cool and acted like it was great news that Lalo would return to Mexico.

Do you mean Lalo is going to be around a while. Possible, but I don't think so. I think Lalo will be dead very soon, but I could be wrong. BB gave us conflicting info, but the info that he's dead seems much stronger.

It was definitely implied that he hired the hitmen to help Gus. Gus even says he was protecting his interest by protecting Gus interest

After tonight, I have an idea why Howard Hamlin keeps hanging around in the story. I'm going to have to do some rewatching tomorrow, but I think Howard still has a part to play.

And before you jump to conclusions, no I don't think he's a full on bad guy.

Well he for sure wasn't gonna die in the apartment considering Saul still thinks he's alive in BB. Considering what Saul says in that scene, he and nacho are gonna do something to get rid of him

I don't think that's what was implied. I think he was helping himself, but played it cool. He didn't admit to having a part in it, but sort of implied he was trying to help Gus to cover his own arse once he realized the hit failed.



These cartel frickers are about themselves. He's not taking that risk for Gus. He saw a chance for 7 million and Lalo put away and couldn't resist.

If his motivation had been to help Gus he would have told Gus hoping to use more reliable people than a gang that's not connected to the cartel.
