Also, two weeks ago I was saying Laura Linney deserves the Emmy this year.
Nope. Rhea Seahorn. Give it to her...

Is it normal in Mexican Spanish to speak to someone older and a higher authority in the tu form like Lalo to Hector?
That's pretty cool.Junkhead said:Quote:
If you listen carefully to the movie Jimmy attempts to watch with Kim, it's the Cary Grant/Rosalind Russell/Howard Hawks classic His Girl Friday, which is about a woman who keeps returning to a relationship she knows is deeply unhealthy for her, with a man whose charm and wild professional lifestyle she ultimately can't resist.

Wow! I had no idea how that last scene was going to play out. Can't wait for next week!
Did Kim just get Nacho killed?
Also, apparently the last scene was 16 minutes uninterrupted. Holy ****, it flew by. That's when you know your writing is top-notch.

Did anyone else notice the two skateboarders in the background after Mike told Jimmy about how their choices set them on a road? Pretty cool considering Jimmy deciding to run the con with the skateboarders was his first choice that connected him to the cartel.
Here's Lalo being an idiot on Mexican tv years ago.
I really enjoyed the opening with the side by side of jimmy and Kim with the music.
The rest of the episode was excellent but y'all have that covered

Again, thinking through that final scene and why it was so awesome, look at all you have going on as subtext even behind the amazing dialogue.
Lalo, who everyone knows is completely crazy and ruthless. And would kill them both and go home and sleep fine.
He knows Saul's lying.
Every action he takes is about dominance, from messing with the fish, to how he sits, to making Saul keep retelling the story.
Kim knows Saul's lying but doesn't know the truth to be able to protect him, and you are wondering if the truth comes out to save Saul but wrecks her faith in him.
Saul is a scared for Kim. So much so that he is literally standing between Lalo and her.
Mike is outside ready to kill Lalo, and we keep waiting for that shore to drop,
Meanwhile Lalo is toying with them both, prolonging the agony for everyone.
And all the while we all assume Kim's ending comes before BB starts and are wondering if now is it.
And in the midst of all that, Kim completely takes over the scene with 2 strong actors and characters to save herself and Jimmy.
Just perfectly constructed and executed. Why some of the best episodes in modern TV come from Gilligan.

Knowing how Gilligan & company work I figured it had some meaning but I had no idea what movie it was. Obviously Sepinwall gets episodes early so he can release his reviews as soon as the episode is over but I've long assumed he is fed inside info like that as well.
They used that same song and montage style last year I think. I had forgotten about it, but one of the reviews mentioned it.
Well we know with reasonable certainty that Lalo is alive during BB unless somehow Saul wouldn't be aware of Lalo getting axed as he references both Lalo & Nacho in his first BB appearance.

I agree.

What court case did Saul **** up?
I'm surprised that this didn't have any meaning. That's unlike how this universe works. Maybe that info comes out next week. Unless it was just there to show how rattled Saul still is.

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
They also dropped a hint on the timeline when Lalo said Tuco gets out in 11 months.

Honestly I think it was that simple.
Yeah I took it as him being so not himself that the biggest loser in that court beat him and rubbed it in his face, and Saul had nothing for him.
Agree, I was thinking about right as he was getting in the car. Nacho would have driven away afraid he was next. saul would have assumed he had run for the border and never known he was dead. But in thinking about it more, that's not a very Gilligan way to approach it.
That might have been my favorite episode of the series. So much tension and suspense.
What was that thing Kim went back to get out of her desk?

Whew. Intense.
Also I freakin love Kim Wexler. What an amazingly well written and acted character.

Top of the tequila bottle that Kim and Jimmy conned someone into buying them in an earlier season.

Probably but it still seems odd to me that Jimmy was that concerned about a nothing client to pick up & go in his physical condition.
It seemed like Kim made something click for Lalo with the "change of plans". It seems like he realized she was right about not having people he can trust. Maybe Lalo realized he can't trust Nacho.Mr.Bond said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Kim broke bad. That'sall.
If you've ever been thru a traumatic situation, sometimes you think getting back to normal routine will distract you and fix everything. It doesn't.Junkhead said:redass89 said:Junkhead said:Junkhead said:

When Saul answered that phone and I knew exactly what was happening.
As others have said, awesome episode! My only nitpick: why did Jimmy come down so hard on Kim for quitting her job? Seems like he should want her to be happy, and he can't seriously be too concerned about her ability to earn money once the pro bono bug wears off, right? Was another in a series of weird interactions they've had this season.
Jimmy's primary motivation in law is money, Kimjust elft a money train.Quote:

I've been re watching BB. It's also the same top of the tequila that Gus used to poison everyone in Mexico.johnnyblaze36 said:

The second Lalo showed up to the apartment, I had to pause it, pace around my living room, and compose myself. I've never done that for any show, ever. What followed was not only the best scene of the series, but one of the best of the entire Breaking Bad universe. Unbelievable. Kim is the GOAT.

It's the very expensive tequila topper that she and Jimmy ran their first scam around. Conned a business man into buying them the bottle

Awesome episode. I really like Lalo's character.
Wow that's a good catch.ag88man said:I've been re watching BB. It's also the same top of the tequila that Gus used to poison everyone in Mexico.johnnyblaze36 said:
