From broken ribs to gallivanting in the sewers within like 24 hours is a bit retarded let's not act otherwise

We don't even know for a fact that Lalo broke any ribs. He just speculated that Casper the friendly Croatian *might have* broken *one* of his ribs, after he hit him with the blunt side of an axe.
Even if Lalo *did* suffer a broken a rib (again, never confirmed) that isn't *that* debilitating of an injury. We haven't even seen him do anything that would be impossible with a broken rib yet.

Ok let's assume it's not a broken rib, it's just bruised or some shit, to go from that, to gallivanting in the sewers like nothing happened the next day is still ridiculous.
Really all they had to do to eliminate that problem is him saying that he had a broken rib and there's nothing to complain about aside from the fact he got literal plot armor.

Yeah exactly, this is the kind of bullshit that I'm talking about. There is stuff to nitpick, but not what the earlier retards were complaining about.

That was one I let slide at the time because the actual visuals were awesome. But it's definitely worse once you notice it. I could honestly not care less how Lalo bought a plane ticket to Berlin or wherever or how he bought another plane ticket to go back.
His whole encounter with Casper was a series of blunders by both people and I don't think that's unreasonable. Lalo just thought he was some chump and didn't anticipate Casper getting the drop on him. Then Casper blew it, thinking he was going to disable Lalo when he should have just killed him. I have no idea what he was thinking, maybe finding out who killed Werner and getting revenge.
Also we don't know Lalo's ribs were even broken. He claimed that but he could have just been trying to look more hurt than he was to turn the tables on Casper.
In any event he let someone who had no business messing with him really mess with him a lot before getting the upper hand again.
I admit I ignored this at the time because what actually impressed me was that he went to a small amount of effort not to kill Mrs. Ziegler after ruthlessly killing all number of people who had never done him any wrong. He actually has some level of killing he considers beneath him. I was relieved, she is a nice lady and has deserved nothing that has happened to her, much less getting murdered by Lalo.

He had a reason for that, though. Murdering someone is sort of a punctuation for him, it was an exclamation point to get Jimmy and Kim's attention that serious business is afoot.

When BCS started, there was a black and white intro with Jimmy working as a manager in some sort of pastry shop. This seems to have been dropped in S6 and I’m wondering if we’ll ever find out in S6/Pt2

Final episode will centre on Gene. Watch me be right.

I think we end with Gene in color. Also that was a Cinnabon, possibly the worst mall food you can get.

You may be right, I can’t see them losing the Gene scenes; the production values aren’t that crass. I read that David Chase wanted the end of the Sopranos to just end, but the Motion Pictures of America, or whatever chickenshit organisation forbade it. I think they have had a rethink, and the last episode will just fade to black.

I think it will be like Breaking Bad where the last two episodes act as an epilogue. I think the present will shift to color as Gene starts acting like Jimmy again to solve his problems. I think he will be mostly triumphant, but whether or not he survives remains to be seen.

The reason why people complain about the arc of Lalo going to Germany is because it feels rushed. The pacing with the Lalo and Nacho stories was pretty off compared to what came beforeh. As much as people like to handwave shit away for their favorite show, its rather weird for BCS that theres not even a brief scene about Lalo at least being seen in an airport or something in the previous episodes. It doesn't have to detail every small thing Lalo did, but the show feels rather contrived without it. The guy who posted about it 5 pages back is pretty much right.
The rest is retarded for the very same reason and with Lalo being too resilient, athletic, etc., but I guess they had to hasten Howard's death and didn't plan things well enough.

They're insinuating it won't. Before the season started there was talks about the two shows having a "blend period", where you would see BrBa timelines shit from a Saul perspective, but a recent Giancarlo Esposito interview revealed something to the effect of "it doesn't close BCS cleanly into BB, there's gonna be space between one storyline and the other".

It is even more jarring when they waste countless minutes, likely over an hour of time in total now for the whole show, on these montages that lead to something that could have taken one second to explain. Like instead of getting relevant plot or character information we get ants crawling on a mound of melting ice cream to opera music just so BCS fans can masturbate on reddit about how awesome Vince Gillian is as an artist. And if anyone criticizes it the delusional fans instantly transform into mental cases on the level of some whackjob at Gamespot getting dead-named.
When The Sopranos or The Wire did their montages they were always showing character or plot moments to begin or wrap up a season or advance a plot quickly that had no dialog in it. BCS had a great example of this when Jimmy is trying to get fired and he is blasting the juicer machine and behaving like a psychopath wearing crazy clothing and clogging toilets. It made sense for the plot and the character to see Jimmy tank his job and further morph into Saul. And the music and the comedy and absurdity were all great. Now the show is just up its own ass with pretentious nonsense.
The montage of Gus being paranoid was literally a waste of time because anyone with a brain knows that Gus will not die. There is no tension. None at all. These idiots talking about how nerve-racking it was are blind. Show more of Kaylee using her telescope. But BB/BCS is like the Emperor's New Clothes for its fandom. BB have dumber fans that Star Wars in that they refuse to even disown Rian Johnson and think that the 'Fly' episode is visionary genius level work so arguing with them is pointless.
I still say that the show is very predictable. Lalo is trapped in the lab by Gus. Gus buries him in the lab after he dies of starvation. So when you watch BB and there is a lab scene you are reminded of Lalo. Kim will vanish into Nebraska through the vacuum service. Jimmy will follow her and unite with her. Likely he will get some jail time when he publicly admits that is not Gene but Saul Goodman aka Jimmy McGill. The ending will involve Jimmy publicly clearing Howard as well. Mike will likely help Nacho's father even.

I'm glad someone else hates that episode.
