re: tOfficial Better Call Saul S06E07 “Plan and Execution” Thread

Chighur wins. Lalo is menacing and his attitude and almost playfulness hasn't gotten him yet but I think it would cost him against someone who's his equal. Chighur is all business.

I think Chighur wins as well. They are both adaptable, but we’ve seen Lalo struggle more when not on his turf. He survived the hit crew because it was on his turf, where he had a secret tunnel system. That German with the axe got the jump on him, and he shouldn’t have survived. He was way too cocky in that encounter.

And it was so chilling how slowly and calmly Lalo pulled out the gun and put on the silencer.

lol

I had looked down for a second to light my pipe, looked up and saw the gun being taken out and for just a moment wondered if it was Howard pulling it out. He should have left though when he was told to.

I liked Howard, he saw through all the bullshite and seemed to be a decent guy in the end. Wife seemed like a bitch who didn't appreciate anything. In retrospect he should have been fricking some whores and doing cocaine.

To make it a suicide Lalo would have to give up his weapon to make a ballistics match and I don't see that happening.

---

he mentioned he was in the guest house, they could put him on the couch with a gun next to him then set the place on fire. Comes off as Howard set his house ablaze (like his mentor) then offd himself inside. They find charred remains with a bullet skull, a weapon and look at all his personal troubles

Idk..they have a corpse to deal with though lol

Only 1 reason BB Saul thinks Lalo's alive.

WTF is this lunacy.

As of this moment nobody..... NOBODY .... Not even you KNOWS whether Lalo is alive or dead in the BB timeframe.

You rwhole analysis based on this is complete bullshite.

(I will grant that Lalo is likely dead, but for all we know he could be in a supermax prison somewhere.)

Does anybody know what movie Kimmy and Jimmy were watching on the couch when Howard came in? It may mean nothing, but I bet it’s got a little nugget of something in it.

Speaking of which, did we ever talk about the 1st episode title “Wine and Roses?” It comes from a song they played in some of the teasers, and I think it played instrumental in the episode. I don’t know if the song came first or the film, but there’s a 1962 movie called “Days of Wine and Roses” that came out in 1962, starring Jack Lemon and Lee Remick. (Looks like there was also a tv episode of Playhouse 90 in 1958 with the same plot). Which is:

“An alcoholic marries a young woman and systematically addicts her to booze so they can share his passion together.” They marry, have a baby, and it’s all fun and games until they’re both full blown alcoholics and he loses his job. Their lives are spiraling out of control, but only he can pull himself out and quit. I think she loses everything. Not sure that will totally reflect what happens with Kim and Jimmy, but it was absolutely done on purpose.

Gus says this with confidence. Lalo is by far the most dangerous Salamanca. No way Gus moves forward with knowing he is alive somewhere.

That’s the song playing while they playing when cleaning out the mansion. I think it was the Jackie Gleason orchestra. Which opens up some new theories regarding Sheriff Buford T Justice.
