Did you?! How?! I was shocked as strawberry float.


As soon as the candle flickered I guessed who it was and what would happen.


Yep. They alluded to it at the start of the series I think too, I’m not sure if there was a knock at the door or Kim couldn’t sleep because she was convinced someone was going to come in and she blocked the door with her chair?

Gawd, I love this show - I'm so going to miss it when its gone. I might try and re-watch this whole thing before July 11th.

Some people are a few episodes behind, some others are SEASONS behind...


Hey :D

I'm very sensitive to spoilers for BCS, so would personally never go anywhere near this thread until I've seen the latest episode...But, no problem I will spoiler going forward.

Question about season 6 episode 3 that doesn't matter but is bugging me a little would appreciate if anyone can shed some light

When Nacho has freed himself and has the gun pointed at Bolsa's head and Mike, who is out of sight, and mutter 'do it'

What is Mike willing him to do?

[a] Shoot Bolsa and try to make a run for it?
[b] Shoot Bolsa and then shoot himself?
[c] Knowing he can't escape and shooting Bolsa first may mean he won't have time to kill himself before the Cartel disarm him - Shoot himself (which he did to) so he has the slight moral victory and dignity of dying by his own hand?
[d] Something else? What?

Thanks

Thanks.

I think Kim will find out from [from season 3] when Jimmy reports Chucks mental instability and causes his malpractice insurance to increase mixed with Kims own culpability and guilt will become a big factor in Jimmy / Kims relationship and a catalyst for Kims decisions going forward. Jimmy / Kim don't have many secrets between them at this point (if anything Kim is keeping more secrets from Jimmy) - but I think a big justification for wanting to take down Howard which led to the events of the last episode is that Kim thought Howard was to blame for Chucks suicide for dismissing him from HHM not knowing that Jimmy actions basically forced this (Jimmy let Howard think this as well). Kim was a bigger driver in the Howard con than Jimmy Jimmy could justify pranks as he resented him for taking therapy and moving forward and felt patronised by the job offer (which Jimmy hasn't) but knows he didn't deserve being destroyed.

The big day tomorrow BCS Squad :datass:

Just another layer of tragedy with the last episode when Howard was musing on problems he's overcome and was saying how he was going to be bounce back...you know he would have. That wasn't a guy that was suicidal, that was a guy that was poised and motivated to fight back and with that attitude he totally would have got back on his feet (maybe would have brought Jim/Kim down too)if he had of lived

Absolutely. I'm still shaken by that last episode.

Scared to continue watching tomorrow as I can't take much more.

Today's the day BCS Squad :toot:

Poor Howard :( No chance to clear his name and buried with Lalo forever. Will make rewatching the lab scenes in BB chilling

Really pleased that they dealt with what is likely to be the action highpoint of the endgame within a single episode. Gives more space for the character drama to play out in what remains.

Good episode but it did just play out exactly as expected, I was hoping for some kind of twist with Gus' plan.

Why did they only put the two bodies in the hole? What did they do with Gus' henchmen who were also killed?

Great to have it back. Not the easiest episode to watch (literally) on a dazzlingly bright sunny day like today, right enough.

It sort of annoys me that people already made that connection. Kind of feel that they didn't have to connect everything. That said it was a great episode. Kind of interesting to know what happens next as I have literally no idea where they are going to go.

Gotta figure Fring's men are Mike's men, and therefore he'd insist they were buried with more dignity.

My theory after having a think.

Howards body being buried in the lab is part of the reason Saul is on the run. I'm guessing the cops dig him up at some point at the end of BB which ties Saul to his death.

I doubt this is a factor. Saul went on the run because he tied up in helping to launder Walt's money, and there were loads of people who knew about it, plus lots of evidence along the way. You think Skylar was going to protect Saul? Plus if they were to dig up the lab, there would only be skeleton remains by that point, and there's no chance the police have Howard's DNA on file to test the corpses against.
