re: tOfficial Better Call Saul S06E05 Thread “Black and Blue”

Yup. Finished this episode last night.

My biggest curiosity right now is how in the frick that gigantic excavator is supposed to come out of the lab.

I liked the boxing scene. Saul dancing around doing his best Ali impression was hilarious. As for the person that said Saul knew he was meeting Howard, I don't think buy that. He seemed genuinely surprised and did the old "how did I not catch that" thing when he pieced the name together.

Patrick Fabian does such an awesome job in this show. You go from hating him to liking him to feeling bad for him to being glad he's getting fricked over...all in the span of an episode or two. He does such a great job with mixing together the smarmy pretentiousness but yet caring colleague vibe.

Lalo going to Germany was so unnecessary IMO. And it calls into question how he got there completely unnoticed. He's got to damn near be on the FBI's most wanted list at this point. I was glad he didn't kill ole boy's wife, and I actually wondered if they were gonna let him bang her...that would've been super weird (it was weird enough that he was flirting with her). And to see him switch from that to silencing his gun ready to pop her if she walked in was classic Lalo. I just wish he wouldn't have gone to Germany.

Gus seems to have turned from scared/defensive to offensive in this episode. Can't wait for he and Lalo to get back face to face again.

Well they think he’s dead

Who does? The courts don't think he's dead. Weren't they asking Jimmy where his client was and assuming he made good on his "flight risk" warning?

Only the main players think/thought he is/was dead, and a only a few of them now know that he isn't.

The ADA that talked with Kim knows who Jorge DeGuzman really was - and she told Kim that he (Lalo) was killed.

Is this show starting to suck as it's ending? I think it could be.

Kim was keeping it a secret from Saul that Lalo’s actually alive because most people don’t know

I thought that was pretty shitty of her.. I mean, I'd want to know.

Maybe but like Mike said she’ll take it better then him. She saw how paranoid (understandable though) he was last time.

I feel like the last 2 episodes have equaled or exceeded anything that I have seen coming out right now. No it is not sucking. Do you not like the Nacho/lalo/Gus/Mike storyline? Are you saying 2 episodes of buildup that do not include assault on armed compounds means a show is sucking?



I think it would be safe to ignore you from here on out.

They think he’s dead. They were asking where he was before they found out about “his” body being found in the shootout in Mexico. One of the attorneys that approached Kim about Jimmy coming forward, told her that he was confirmed dead. When Kim told Saul about he was excited.

Did you not watch the entirety of this past episode? Kim was keeping it a secret from Saul that Lalo’s actually alive because most people don’t know

---

I did watch it (at several different times however). I had forgotten about her meeting with that DA person though.

And I also think it's shitty of her to not tell Jimmy about Lalo. Especially since she's been the biggest proponent of the whole "I just want you to be honest...tell me" thing.

Mike was making bank and such a stand up guy. I just keep hating Walt for that bs even more.

And the fact he was getting that social security too lol

Why does Jimmy hate Howard so much?

Same question for Kim. Their over the top response and lack of clear motivation bothers me.
