When Kim was asking Lalo why he didn't use a shell company, the Caymans, etc., I was waiting for Lalo to say, "Hey. Maybe you are the lawyer I should be using to handle my business. Let's talk."



Same. Not sure that window is closed either. Lalo was definitely impressed by her.


Here’s something I can’t seem to figure out. If Kim dies, what possible resolution is there for the Gene scenes?

I feel like the only way for there to be any sort of emotional payoff in those flash forwards is if there is a reunion or arc leading back to the world of BCS of some kind.

If not Kim, what other characters could possibly be there at the end to complete the arc of this story?

So I’m of the opinion Kim is alive post BB, and eventually Gene comes face to face with her again.

didn’t understand what he told nacho. Where in Mexico is he going?


The way Lalo told Nacho that they have a looooong way to go made me think possibly to Chile. Definitely a stretch but it would be super cool to see him make a move against the Chilean on his home turf

Somehow Saul and Nacho royally frick Lalo to a point where Saul is 100% expecting death when he is abducted.

He just made it clear that she is his reason for pushing forward, so if lalo is threatening to like her too much or too little, Saul will be motivated to do whatever it takes to prevent harm.

Cousins need to bring another 2 bags of gas money then. Nacho probably gets 8 miles a gallon

You cannot drive to South America from North America

You would have to take a ferry or cargo ship before the Darien Gap

Albuquerque to El Paso is 4 hours.

A looooong way to the border in a '71 Javelin.

With Jimmy showing so much concern and downright anger towards Kim about "being in the game" I'm wondering if he simply does something despicable to her out of love to make her go away and never come around him again


BINGO!

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.


Any thoughts on Howard from this point forward?

What was that look Lalo gave Hector as he was leaving the nursing home? Was it genuine affection for a family member? Pity? Everyone seems to hate Hector (for good reason), it was odd seeing someone that may actually like the guy.

It was a look of realization, a look of 'this ain't gonna be me ", and a look of genuine sadness for his uncle, all at the same time

Lalo is the best character in the BB universe and that actor is about to blow up

I took it as they were dressing him up almost like a clown. Lalo grew up respecting Tio, knows the stories..remember probably seeing things. I don't think he liked seeing him that way, like a shell.

Yeah, I was telling my wife his character reminds me of Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds. I would expect him to blow up soon.

That was the best fricking episode of this series so far. Entire thing was intense.
