It might be a little different than that.. I mean Kim is his wife. Not just someone he interacts with... right?


And unless you think Kim wears that little red thong that was hanging off the faucet of the tub in Saul's house, she wasn't living there.

And, if she was working with Saul as she has been in BCS during the BB timeframe, she would have to be vacuumed as well otherwise she would be in Skyler's position.

Kim gone.

I can picture her in that little red thong, does that count?

No they don't.

By this logic, every person Jimmy has interacted with that isn't seen in BB has to have a reason.


nah, its obvious that a main character would need to be addressed one way or another. minor background characters dont really need explanations.

we are starting to get stronger hints at kim being absent.
the following 2 things were included in the opening scene of the final season, and we know how much VG/PG love to include foreshadowing in opening scenes:
1) look back at the saul's bathroom clean out scene. there was only 1 toothbrush, and we have always seen 2 toothbrushes when they were together.

2) the tequila stopper scene. we already know thats something kim would go back to keep... unless she had to leave in the middle of the night like she has had to do multiple times in her past. or if she died, as its strong connections/symbolism for death/loss in both BCS/BB.

You should be a writer on this show lol.. All plausible possibilities.



I would love that lmao. i can only come up with this shite because of what they give to work with. they leave so many possible routes available which would all have very different implications yet all lead to a similar outcome.

this is mostly why I think kim isnt in BB, theres pretty much 1 way it can be done (heavy plot armor guaranteing success), it isn't at all necessary to happen for BB to work, and its cliche 'she was there the whole time', when theres 30 other more compelling and better stories to tell.

yea kim is living in a mansion with a golden toilet, leaving thongs on faucets, but they decide to share 1 toothbrush.

go rewatch that bathroom clean out scene theres only 1 toothbrush.

Still undecided what happens to Kim, but the whole Howard scheme is entirely too transparent. Maybe they want Howard to know, make accusations, then spring the trap. Hard time believing Howard walks away a winner here.

IDK howard has beaten jimmy or caught him every time so far.
license suspended with a PI, the trail regarding that fiasco. holding back Kristie for the scholarship. finding out jimmy did the bowling balls and prostitutes.

He has also beaten kim or at least reprimanded her and kept her off of cases.

In BCS howard's pretty much the only one who has consistently had the upper hand against them. Im not saying howard is for sure going to win but if anyone could win against them, its him. and it is one of the possible routes that could be used to explain kims absence.

Maybe Kim goes back to Nebraska where she's from? And maybe that's why Saul got his new identity in Omaha.

send one of the most wanted men in america to meet up with his wife in her hometown?

that would be exactly where the disappearer wouldn't send him. saul didn't chose to go there, thats where ed picked. plus if kim were still in the picture, saul wouldnt have said he isnt leaving anyone behind. she wouldve had to leave for there a while before that happened.

maybe that could happen if ed didnt know about kim, but it would be pure coincidence.

BCS/AMC released photos for next week and it appears there will be an amazing scene. Slightly spoilerish so scroll past if you don't want to see.

*** minor spoiler alert***

So I get Walt & Jesse leaks but nothing on Bill Burr?

Did I miss anything on him reprising the role?

even the twins didn't know what to make of it when Nacho was spitting his venom. They were looking at each other and Nacho really confused.

The whole thing served two purposes in that Gus will really make sure Nacho's dad is taken care of and the Salamancas are fully satisfied


One thing that has bugged me that I am surprised no one has pointed this out. Why is everyone assuming the Salamanca’s won’t go after Nacho’s father since he was a rat and especially since he admitted to the Hector stuff? The Salamanca’s knew his father was important to him and it’s hard to believe those spiteful sob’s would be satisfied with just shooting his dead body.

Yeah I agree. His dad would've been dead by that afternoon.

only thing I can think of is..waht purpose would it serve? If Nacho was alive adn in salamanca custody, then yeah most definitely they'd kill the dad to toruture nacho and make him suffer. But with nacho dead and gone what would killing the dad even do?
