Yaaas Broncos!
Kim really pushed things with Howard, Jimmy is obviously culpable but he wanted to leave it and walk away but she pushed to continue it.
fecks sake
Jimmy still bears the brunt of the blame He's the orchestrator and Kim wouldn't have been able to this herself.Kim really pushed things with Howard, Jimmy is obviously culpable but he wanted to leave it and walk away but she pushed to continue it.
After dodging the calamity they still poured it all over their hand. What a dumbass.
Agreed, I don't get it either, they talk about "filler" (the "filler" criticism has been a constant for 6 seasons and over 50 episodes now XDD) when it's actually just the way the show is. The show is like that, you either take it or leave it, but if you don't enjoy the slower episodes, which definitely make up the vast majority of the show, I'd say the show is just not for you, and that's okay. And this comes from someone who is only moderately invested in this universe; I watched BB and enjoyed it very much for the most part, but I feel it's slightly overrated when it's put up there with the best tv series ever. However, I think BCS, in its own more modest scope/ambitions, has been absolutely fantastic from day one, the style is perfectly recognisable, always effective and usually quite beautiful, the casting choices have been nothing short of perfect (Kim and now Lalo as highlights that will have to be mentioned when people list their best tv performances ever), and I reckon the writing has been competent enough.Been catching up with this over the last few days and just watched the latest episode.
feck me.
This whole season has been great, maybe it’s because I binged it but I don’t understand the “filler” complaints above, the show has always had a fairly slow pace but it’s done brilliantly.
Didn’t realise there was a break. FML.
He is super entertaining and it's a great performance. But I wouldn't say he is as well written as Jimmy, Kim or Chuck.Lalo is the best character on a show full of great ones. And it's not even close.
"psychopath with code of honour" is so cliche.He is super entertaining and it's a great performance. But I wouldn't say he is as well written as Jimmy, Kim or Chuck.
The early episode featuring Mike was arguably the best episode of either series and Jonathan Banks’ performance was astonishing.He is super entertaining and it's a great performance. But I wouldn't say he is as well written as Jimmy, Kim or Chuck.
Didn't he say "I'll take care of it myself" or something like that - almost certainly hinting at it being very central to the final run, either juxtaposed together throughout.... or they conclude the BCS storyline early with the answer to Kim... then do an episode or two in the modern day.When this was first announced, I was sure it would flop because Breaking Bad was so popular and (IMO) very very good.
But I'm very glad I was wrong.
My only personal preference would be to see more of the post-Breaking Bad "Gene" timeline. I can't even remember the last thing that happened?
Or you have to wait about 5 weeks like the rest of usWas trying to avoid this until the full season aired but I relented and binged them all - what an incredible season so far. Glad I only have to wait a day for the next episode
Ah ffsOr you have to wait about 5 weeks like the rest of us

Is it that intense? This is one of those shows I have to be in the right frame of mind for. If I'm already feeling stressed, I can't do it. Just couldn't watch it at all during lockdown, for example!I'm 16 minutes in and I had to break
This season has been the most intense, and yes, this particular episode is dark and at times stressful. Wait until you're in a good mood, sit down with some snacks and a drink and enjoy it as entertainment - but not if you're feeling anxious.Is it that intense?

Already watched it! And I agree, it's been a lot less intense for most of its run, with the exception of the end of last season.This season has been the most intense, and yes, this particular episode is dark and at times stressful.

I wondered if it might have peaked too soon also, butIncredible episode of television.
For some reason, I feel like the season could have peaked early and we won't get an amazing run of final episodes. But then I think it's Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould and what they did with Breaking Bad. Very much a bit of the final season feeling of Breaking Bad when it seemed like there wasn't much else they could do.
Still, we'll get to see Walt and Jesse, Kim's outcome and hopefully a full episode of post-Breaking Bad with Gene coming back as Saul. I'd be content with a post-Breaking Bad reunion of Jimmy & Kim, but I get the feeling it won't be quite that simple...
This is all undeniably true, and a classic pitfall of a prequel is that it gives certain characters invulnerability, but that said I was expecting Fring's men to kill Kim when she arrived at his house armed.I’m going to slightly break with some of the above comments, don’t get me wrong it was brilliant but once Jimmy talked Lalo into letting Kim go instead of him, there was no jeopardy.
We know Jimmy lives, so he’s gonna be fine, we know Gus is who Kim is being sent to shoot and we know he lives. We also know the house is under surveillance by Mikes people and they’ll see Kim coming.
Again with the scene in the laundry/lab, we know Gus isn’t dying so we kinda know where things are going.
It was executed fantastically well, but it’s hamstrung by being a prequel and us knowing certain people can’t be harmed.
