re: tOfficial Better Call Saul S06E04 Thread “Hit and Run”

Yeah, I think the couple is staff. I would have to see the episode again but when Gus first arrived on their side, they were discussing a puzzle and how they couldn't find some of the pieces but the table they were sitting at was empty.

The boring married couple banter is just another cover.

Got a chuckle out of Gus wanting one of Mike's guys replaced as his in store bodyguard because his fast food cooking wasn't up to Los Pollos Hermanos standards.

Gus: You told me the man you placed in my kitchen was an experienced short order cook.

Mike: Yeah...two years at McDonald's when he was in college

When will we get a glimpse of lalo

He’s going to rewatch the episode 2-3 times tonight. To be thorough and to make sure he didn’t miss anything.

Correct.

I decided not to post at all in this thread until the episode was over. I wanted to see your interpretations. They are completely crazy.

As usual most folks have know clue how to read the hints of this show.

Kim to Wendy: (paraphrasing) "if you ever need representation give me a call, no charge. Wendy is not paying for Saul in BB, she is a Kim case. They just hinted that Kim is involved with another BB character.

Mike clearly has much more respect for Kim than he does for Saul. Now she and Mike are in contact, and some of you think Kim got disqualified from BB tonight?

She just went from 25% to 50% of team Heisenberg.

I think Spooge is the guy who got crushed by the ATM in BB.

Wendy didn't look too bad either before meth destroyed her teeth.

He's legit rattled. First time we've seen that which makes me think Lalo is for sure dead by BB.

The first hint was Gus breaking the glass that Nacho used to stab Bosa. Gus's paranoia is causing him to make more and more mistakes, but we know in BB Mike has intense respect for Gus.

At this point in BCS, Mike is just doing his job. Remember, in BB Gus says "I don't believe fear to be an effective motivator", yet we've already heard Mike say that exact quote to Gus in BCS.

We are seeing Gus at a juncture, there will be a critical moment where he turns into the Gus we knew in BB, and I believe in some way Kim will be part of that pivot point.

All of the characters in the BB universe have had slow transformations of their character arcs. I suspect Gus will subvert those expectations and have an immediate change to his character, completely unlike we have ever seen either BB or BCS.

As for those saying these episodes are weak and jerking off to Lalo posters, this aint the MC Universe, it is for adults, grow the frick up. If you have no appreciation for brilliant writing and story telling, this aint the show for you.

That business card will bring Kim down imo

I guess we’re seeing Kim’s downfall here. She’s going way too hard after Hamlin.

Nope, Howard has a hard-on for Jimmy now. He won't get Kim without also getting Jimmy/Saul, but Saul's still going in BB, so he won't be Kim's downfall.

?

Kim is no part of “Saul.”

I guess you missed Carrot and Stick where she's basically sculpting Saul. Suggesting a fancy car and a cathedral of justice. She also went way harder on the Kettlemans than Jimmy/Saul was comfortable with.

Kim is the bad guy with the Howard

Nah, it's Jimmy/Saul

We've already seen Howard invite him into the ring on the previews. We know where his anger is directed.
