Better Call Saul

TheHarbinger said:
Walt and Jesse reunited at the end of BB. Not under the best of circumstance mind you. But they were together at the end (of Walt's life). Kim and Jimmy will reunite. Almost assuredly as Gene and Giselle.

I'm sorry to be explicitly calling you out over this, because I've seen way too many other people doing it as well...

Why the fuck do people keep calling a hypothetical 'out of the game,' Kim, "Giselle"?

Pretending for a moment that reusing the same fake name more than once wasn't terrible OPSEC (even though it totally is.) Why on earth would a Kim who presumably went so far out of line that she felt the need to call the vacuum repair salesman to get a new life, want to be reminded of the name she used for the personality that first led her down her own bad choice road? I mean, FFS, Jimmy has never called himself "Viktor" again after that one scam. It's unclear whether or not he was allowed to choose it, but his new name is "Gene," not Viktor.
For that matter, Kim has never called herself "Giselle" again after that scam either.

Show should end with Lalo surviving into the Gene era and tracking him down. Have a heroic buildup of Saul finally taking resposibility for his actions and doing the right thing; turning himself in and reaching for the fruit of redemption that he was once too prideful to take, only to get immediately capped by Lalo as the credits roll; his redemption arc cut short and left unfulfilled, just like the fates of everyone else in the series.

Bravo vince

But do we know that he flew from the Mexico to Germany or from Germany to the US directly? I do not remember seeing his flight records on the show. You seem to be filling in holes for the writers that are not actually in the show to excuse the poor writing.

No man. He swam over. That's totally how Lalo got over there. You need to calm down.

I personally loved this episode. One of my favorite films of all time is The Sting, because of that one moment where the entire con we have been waiting for and involved in gets payed off is just so much fun for me. And this episode did that perfectly, especially since we weren’t actually clued in to every single thing that was going on, even though we could guess.
Howard was one of my favorite stories from this show, I think his character was well written and I also just enjoy the genre that his story was. I didn’t expect him to die, until we saw Lalo come up behind him. That scene in particular was so well shot and framed that you have no choice but to feel like a literal demon has appeared.
In short, things were payed off well, and I’m excited to see where things go from here.

Where will the superlab drain water/waste etc ? Will they secretly tap into to sewers that Lalo was in ?

Same place the laundry business drains its wastewater and exhausts it air. One of the plot points in BB was the air system that the meth lab used shared the exhaust system that the laundromat did. Gale purchased a giant air purifier through Madrigal and Hank puts that information in his investigation against Gus and Madrigal. Likely the meth lab has no separate water or waste footprint and perfectly blends into the laundromat.

sometimes i feel like you kids are watching an entirely different show form me.

who the fuck is the "sinister cab driver" and where did "giselle" come from?

I don't blame you for forgetting about Giselle. That was a fake name that Kim used in a one-off scam literally 4 seasons ago at this point. Some people keep trying to make that name mean more than it does, but if you haven't rewatched BCS since it first aired, it really hasn't come back up again since that episode first aired.

With that said, if you don't remember "sinister cab driver" (His name is Jeff by the way.) He's been set up over the past two seasons to be some sort of final antagonist for Gene (i.e. post Breaking Bad Jimmy/Saul.)

If you really don't remember him, I'd agree that you probably are watching an entirely different show, because I have no idea how anybody could forget about such a major unresolved plot point from BCS if they were actually watching it regularly.

i watch the seasons as they come out and they're like, a legit 2-3 fucking year wait between each season.

that's the downside to releasing a show with sometimes subtle writing and details, i don't remember a god damn thing by the time it comes back.

like, i remembered the guy who recognized gene, yeah, but i didn't remember the quick mention he was a cab driver.

I agree it sucks that it took so long for new seasons to come out, I think most people in this thread would agree. (blame covid, and how retarded the world got over it for that), but how Gene/Saul/Jimmy is going to deal with Jeff has literally been one of the major plot points that those of use who actually watch the show have been wondering about for literally years now.

Obviously most people aren't going to remember every single plot point over years. I even admitted I can understand why you'd forget about Giselle, that was a relatively minor part of an episode from like 6 years ago at this point.

But if you aren't able to remember major beats of the story... relatively recent ones even, like Jeff the cab driver trying to fuck with Gene in the post BB timeline, and that seeming to set up a situation where Saul Goodman is going to come back... that really does seem like a you problem, not a show problem.

S6E7 - the end of part one of S6 has just dropped in the UK, and I think it’s one of the finest hours of TV I’ve seen in a while. The pacing and technical cinematography are outstanding. Lalo Salamanca is a complex character.
He was quite charming and obviously didn’t want to kill Werner’s wife and was relieved when he didn’t have to. Then he causally severs the foot off an innocent guy, and blows Howard’s head off.
and Mike is as cool as fuck. Outstanding series.

or some type of impetus for Jimmy to seek out Kim and come clean to the world that he is a drug lawyer in hiding from a killer group of cartel experts.

He's not in hiding from the cartel. He's in hiding from the fucking Feds. He is complicit in getting two DEA agents killed and was the laundry man for a drug kingpin. He's in danger of spending the rest of his life in federal prison, and no info about a cartel that was wiped out by Walt and Gus would save him from that.
