What an opener! Saul’s house! It looked like a dictator’s palace. The Kettlemans were a nice surprise. The dirt bags. Can’t wait to see how Saul ends up with their Statue of Liberty. Mike’s standoff with Gus was intense. I wish we could see an alternate timeline where Mike actually turns on him.

Anyone wanna guess what will become of Kim? I see three scenarios for why she isn't around during the events of Breaking Bad. Listed in order that I think most likely:
1) She dies. My guess is that it will either be during a failed hit on Saul, as a punishment for his duplicity.
2) She gets busted and takes the fall for Saul's illegal activity, ending up in prison. Saul, proving how truly selfish he is, might even actively throw her under the bus to avoid prison himself.
3) Something happens that breaks the bond between her and Saul irrevocably. Maybe he makes a choice or take some action that she cannot forgive. She'll probably leave town altogether to attempt a new life elsewhere.

A combination of 2 and 3 most likely… but it’s not likely to be entirely his fault anymore. She’s currently “breaking bad” faster than he is.

Holy shit. I’m traumatized by that episode. Poor Howard. What an episode. Howard ended up being one of the most tragic characters in this or BB. Who would’ve thought that after the first season? Also, Lalo has to be one of the best villains in TV since Gus in BB season 4. He’s so expertly written and acted. As I noted in another thread, BB is a top 5 favorite of mine of any TV/movie/book/comic/etc. I’ve experienced and yet I think if BCS finishes on the same pace it’s on now, it’ll eclipse it. This show has been pretty much perfect.

It sucks there's going to be such a long break. I can't wait to see how this plays out!

I thought he was going to have a gun on him, there would be a struggle, and either Howard or Kim would get shot.

I’m not sure I like how random the ending was. I suppose you could say that Jimmy and Kim are partly responsible for what happened because A) Howard is only there because they chose to destroy him and B) Jimmy chose to get involved with guys like Lalo. But it’s an indirect result of those things. I wonder if it would’ve been more impactful if their scam had somehow gone wrong, or if Howard actually got something on them which then led to Lalo deliberately removing him as a threat. Certainly this will be a major turning point for the show and it’s characters, but it feels so disconnected from what was actually happening, and kind of renders their scam and any potential consequences from it meaningless.

It was, in my opinion, a good episode, first I like the fact that Howard wasn't portrayed as an idiot or a bad guy, the common trope would be the rich guy, the one with inherited wealth, working in his daddy's law firm no less, would be a bad guy, and none to bright. They ignored this trope, Howard was fairly smart, and a decent person, not perfect, but decent, in fact Howard's decency was part of his downfall, Howard just could not conceive of some one like Jimmy, let alone Lalo.
AS for Lalo, yes he's smart, and ruthless, a very dangerous foe for sure, I wonder if he's still alive in BB, he never appeared there of course, but that doesn't mean he's dead.
It will be interesting to see how things play out with Lalo, Jimmy and Kim, and for that matter, are Mike's people still watching Jimmy and Kim? If so, would they even intervene?
I also wonder if Howard's murder will be a bridge to far for Kim, this may be the point she leaves, perhaps she's still alive in BB, is it possible that Kim and "Gene Takavic have a reunion? On the subject of Gene Takavic, what becomes of him? if he dies, then Jesse was the only one to escape with his life, well Jesse and Skyler, but Jesse was of course far more involved with Walter.
A few random thoughts in closing;
Any one else notice that when Kim and Jimmy were started to have sex during Howard's downfall, she was on top?
Other spin offs could include; Gus Fring's life before coming to the U.S. Mike's life as a policeman, Jesse's life in Alaska and of course the Salamanca's rise to power.
Well, we'll see in the last few episodes

Tapping back in, anyone else think the phone tap that Lalo picked up was just way to clumsy for Mike? That Lalo was supposed to hear it, and think he's setting up Gus, when Gus is setting up Lalo? If so then this parallels Jimmy and Kim's take down of Howard

The 11th, just a day over a week, and BCS is back, for it's final few, any predictions?

Copied this from another board. Obviously, we knew Lalo Salamanca wouldn’t make it through the show, but I’m a bit surprised he died already. I figured he’d make it to the finale or at least the episode before. Hats off to Tony Dalton though. Never thought anyone would rival Gus as my favorite villain in the Breaking Bad universe, but he did it.
And never would’ve thought I would feel sympathy for mega douchebag Howard, but he ended up being the most tragic character on the show. Even after his death, he’s going to be remembered as a cocaine addict that ruined his own career.

I loved Lalo, but I’m really glad he is gone now so the focus can completely shift to Jimmy and Kim for the duration.

I gotta say, I don’t like the time jump. I really think we needed to see Jimmy spiral downwards after Kim left. I want to see him get the settlement money and then go on a denial filled spending binge with the office, the car, the mansion and all. There are also moral lines he crossed as Saul in BB that we have yet to see him cross as Jimmy. We needed to see that too. Feels like we just skipped the most critical part of his arc.
Still, very excited to see where they go next.

Just a thought, I haven't seen last nights episode yet, but I wonder, the cab driver who made and tormented Gene Takovic, was/is working for Howard's widow, like I said, I haven't seen last nights episode, so perhaps that resolved.
