re: tOfficial Better Call Saul S06E09 “Fun and Games” Thread

I remember the first time after the compound raid mike told them (I think? he told someone) that lalo "isn't coming back". But obviously he wasn't dead and that wasn't correct. I can't remember if he explicitly told jimmy/kim in the apartment if he was dead or if he wans't coming back

I thought the line was "are you nachos or lalos people?"

Could also just be that he thinks Lalo told someone if you don't here from me go to this guy, even if he's already dead

So if you buy a vehicle 2 months before your birthday you end up paying reg fees twice in those 2 months?

You just transfer the old one. If it is a new one, then you'll have impact fees (although I think they are called something else these days) to worry about. I would imagine a less than 12 month registration would be pro-rated.

Right. Mike didn’t tell him Lalo was explicitly dead, but even if he had—or hell, even if Saul saw his dead body get buried next to Howard—it doesn’t mean he couldn’t have already ordered something before his death. But mostly, Saul had been representing public masturbators and the like, there’s likely nobody he’s dealt with since that he could imagine taking him out to the desert to get shot and buried in a pre-dug grave. Of course his fricked up head would go to Lalo in that situation. Who else makes any sense?

That marriage scene shows their drivers’ licenses, I bet it shows their birthdays on there if you want to look it up and do the math. But there’s zero chance Kim is close to 50.

Jimmy is 11/12/60
Kim is 02/13/68

Kim's DOB is earlier than I would have guessed.

This show has pics of all sorts of shite like that.

I'll offer the following observations to keep the thread alive until Monday night.

- Haven't seen this anywhere, but the name for this episode has to come from the old saying "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." And many people got hurt big time.
- Kim used the info Howard shared in his final moments (regarding the dismal state of his marriage) to really twist the knife in Cheryl at the memorial service. Playing the scam until the end.
- Kim's last words (so far) to Jimmy/Saul were, "I didn't want that because I was having too much FUN" leads me to think that her entire relationship with Jimmy was a scam in itself. As long as they were playing someone else, from the salesman in the bar, to Chuck, to Mesa Verde and finally to Howard, things were great. When the fun ended, so did her reason to stay with Jimmy.

These are just my opinions. If you disagree, please elaborate. I have no idea what happens in the last few episodes, but I am looking forward to every minute.

Apparently there is going to be some connection between Kim leaving and Walt and Jesse appearing. The following is part of an article I ran across with comments from Paul Gould. Not sure exactly what it means but it sounds intriguing

When asked by Deadline if Walt and Jesse’s appearance is a consequence of Kim’s actions in episode nine, Gould said: “Well, certainly, the choices that Kim has made…

“The choices that Jimmy has made, yeah, absolutely,” he teased.

Look, we all make choices, right? And those choices... they put us on a road. And the road has good choices, and it has bad choices. And this is a bad choice road. What are you even talking about? I'm saying that bad choices lead to bad roads that lead to bad places.

i think is choices like the bad choice road context. yes they made choices that get them to where they are. the decisions they made end up leading them to meeting jesse/walt. the conning, cartel, framing howard, leaing jimmy etc. set saul up to meet the meth cooks.
