AVFCDAN Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Wow, what a return. Burying two of the main characters from BCS into the lab was genius writing, so poignant. That look from Mike at the end as if to say we’re all ending up here at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted July 13, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2022 Fantastic episode and I love the way they played with the jeopardy of what happens to Kim. Keeping us all guessing. We're all waiting for the 'so this is it' moment and they gave us a few of those last night. Teasing bastards Also loved Gus's pointed snap back "it could have" to Mike after having just enough of being chastised. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Jimmy clearly didnt believe Mike when he said Lalo isnt coming back. When he was kidnapped by Jesse & Walt in BB, he thought it was Lalo or Nacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 14, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2022 Absolutely brilliant episode to mark its return. So poignant. So many tiny details that just matter so much. The way Mike told the heavies to go easy when they were about to throw Howard into the grave, but he didn't give a shit about how they handled Lalo. Almost made me well up, Howard isn't in the game and he didn't deserve that, and Mike knew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's exactly what he does in his final scene in Breaking Bad. Either Gilligan had BCS in his head already when he made BB, or he's just intertwined the BCS storyline into BB perfectly. I don't know which is more impressive 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which is more impressive I think it's the latter. He'd never have assumed there'd ever be a spin-off to BB and that Saul would be such a successful (minor) character in BB. I think they probably trawled the BB storyline to see what they could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed the 'go easy', and then the way he paused over the grave. @AVFCDAN might be right that it was him thinking 'we're all ending up like this', but I like to think he was taking a moment to respect Howard, who didn't deserve to be there. Maybe a bit of both. Either way, a really poignant scene. I think I need to watch that episode again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Where does it go from here? A lot of that episode felt like the series' endgame but we've still got six episodes to go. The downfall of Kim and Saul and the return of Jesse and Walt is obviously to play out but I'm wondering what else! Don Eladio making some sort of big play?

Did seem as if another half an hour of wrap would have taken us into BB. Kim being the biggest loose end to solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2022 Does anyone have any theories on what happens to Kim? Definitely the most interesting aspect of the show for me at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
