Pretty sure Kim won't die, Nacho though...
Pretty sure Kim won't die, Nacho though...
I think Kim will play a huge role in the Gene timeline, but I wouldn't be surprised if she is not around for next season.
All I know is that tomorrow's episode is extended - on-air time is 9-10:25, running time without commercials is an hour. Gonna be good.
Last week's was too
No, last week's episode went from 9 to way past 10
Is it just me, or is anyone else on team Lalo?
I mean, I know he's a cold-blooded psychopath, but he's also just so charming.....I'm not usually into guys, but for this one, just maybe....
I liked the scene with the Ferrari. But no, I ride or die with Mike lol.
Yeah, Gus comes across as bitter, obsessive and unlikeable; Lalo is an asshole but at least comes as charming; the guy you love to hate.
As a footnote i will say that Tony Dalton got me impressed with that role, mostly because i know him since the beginning of his career in Mexico.
I used to see him in Mexican soaps and movies, but the guy was always so unlikable to me, i don't know when he became a good actor, maybe all he needed was good directing, but you can tell he is having a great time and making the most of the character.
Also: good episode, but i knew they would keep us in suspense, the thing was 6 minutes away and the plot was still going...
Yeah he annoyed me at first, but this season he showed how smart, and loyal, he was. I love that his over-the-top persona hides a calculating character. The aftermath of what Nacho did really made me dislike him. I knew it wouldn't happen, but I wish Nacho would have flipped on Gus and just ran with the Salamancas. It's sad that Gus thinks of him like a dog, while Lalo was actually going to reward him for his perceived loyalty.
On a side note: I love how Lalo even ackowledges that Tuco is nuts, ha!
I'm team Dalton, but not team Lalo. Can't stand the cartel people. Fantastic portrayal of the character though. I'm also starting to lose my taste with Kim, because I'm starting to get Walter White vibes - and I loathed that character. I was already a little uneasy about the minor cons that she'd get in on, but if she's going full-blown trickster with Jimmy...ugh.
I'll watch season six when it comes out in however many years, but I'm not sure if I'll make it all the way through.
This week's finale was alright. There's been better episodes and finales in the seasons prior.
@theimage13 Since Kim is obviously not going to be in Breaking Bad I am going to guess that she is either going to die in a revenge plot from Lalo or get fed up with Jimmy in the next season and tell him to fuck off and leave him and Albuquerque behind.
I am gonna guess we will see Jesse in an episode or two this season as Captain Cook with Emilio, even if just a brief cameo.

I think the men who accosted Gene are her people
Yeah, it was a great season, but the finale wasn't everything i hoped it'd be.
Is 6 the final season? Because i REALLY wanna see this thing intertwine with BB.
The most recent statement I've seen is that they hope to start production in September, but obvious that's a big "who knows" at this point. For what it's worth though, it sounds like the only reason it would be an extended wait is because of the pandemic, and not issues with writing, contracts, having to wait for schedules to clear up, etc.
It really is a show of its own, but adding those little dashes of BB into it just makes it sooooo much fucking sweeter. When I saw the gnome again, I lost my shit!
This season was great, but it felt dragged out at times with the plot. They could have wrapped up what happened in this entire season with about 6 episodes, but when the tension is there, it's really there.
Tony Dalton is fantastic in this season and I cannot help but like him. I cannot stand the Salamanca's, but he really is the guy you love to hate.
I'm super surprised that Kim has lasted this long. I thought for sure after she saw that Jimmy wasn't sincere, that was pretty much it for her. I really thought she was just going to leave him after she quit her job at the firm, so her joining Jimmy in this charade to fuck over Howard has me a bit perplexed.
Better Call Saul season 6 unlikely to start filming until 2021

Ugh... I'm dying to see how they will wrap this up.
Just watched them all in one go. Ahhhh that was good. This show has the vibrant character that BB lost in it's final season, and the later film. I like both of those ventures, but they felt somehow colder and harder than series passim
Re: Kim predictions, I feel like her being murdered by the cartel is too obvious? But whatever happens, I think it will pave the way for Saul to go all the way evil.
It's easy to get used to Odenkirk's more mellow portrayal of this early iteration of the character - watch a bit of BB, and the contrast is quite stark.
By S5 he has graduated to brazen dishonesty and turning a blind eye, but he still isn't actually evil. I feel like perhaps she will turn bad and outgrow him, and become the next Chuck in his life that he is always trailing behind in terms of emulation.
Just as an aside, taking BB and BCS as one programme (more or less continuous production), can you think of any programme on it's TENTH season that is still this good?

New season starts April 18th
I'm so excited. I watched the first two seasons a few years ago, but it was only recently that I got caught up on the rest. It's hard to compare it to Breaking Bad. Both shows have different agendas and different feels, even though they're operating in the same universe. As far as what will happen, I have a feeling that Spoiler: Kim may live. I can't seem Jimmy becoming the Saul we know if she died in some horrific way. My guess is that she takes things too far and ends up in jail or on the run.
Has anyone else been watching?
This season's off to another great start.
The season started great. It feels a lot like Breaking Bad with the impact of events happening now and the scale. I'm really curious how things will work out here, but it seems every episode this season is going to be at least very good. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor!
In the middle of re-watching Season 5 because I forgot a lot of parts. At the part where Jimmy and Kim get married.
My wife and I re-watched seasons 3-5 to prepare (though we didn't quite make it to the end of season 5 yet), but yes, three episodes in and this season is already off to an amazingly good start. This week's episode REALLY felt like a Breaking Bad episode and as much as it sucks to see Spoiler: Nacho die, it was a fantastic episode. Also, something interesting I saw pointed out somewhere, every other character in that scene met their end in Breaking Bad. As Michael Mando himself put it, "There’s an ominous thing to this scene, where these are all dead men walking, watching the first man die. But they’re already dead, they just don’t know it yet."
I tend to wait a few weeks before diving in, so I have a few hours straight to watch. Catching up in about an hour!
Edit: Riveting as ever! Episode 3 has me gutted.
