Jump to about 45 seconds if you don't want to watch the whole video.
Totally forgot DJ Qualls was in BB!

Wasn't it already known (or at least heavily implied) that Gus was gay from the Breaking Bad episode that showed his backstory and history with Hector?

Gus devoted his entire life to getting revenge on the cartel for Max and built a fountain memorial for him, they were definitely lovers.


I remember Hector referring to them as the "Butt Brothers" instead of the "Chicken Brothers" and Lalo saying Gus wanted revenge on the cartel because they killed his boyfriend.




edit: apparently Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould confirmed this in a podcast a couple days ago, when talking about the wine bar scene.

The story currently doesn't tie into why Saul fears that Lalo or Nacho would pop up out of nowhere (like when he first met Walter and Jesse), I am thinking the next few episodes will have the Salamancas (Tuco and the cousins) threatening Saul and Gus/Mike will fend them off.

The last time we saw Gene, he was recognized by the taxi driver at the mall and he called the vacuum guy to order another change of identity. But at the end Gene changed his mind and said he would fix the situation himself. I wonder what it would be.

And the teaser for next episode has a voiceover from Saul saying "One Armani suit for you, Two Air Jordans for you...." I am guessing Walt and Jesse will finally appear. And I am really hoping that Badger and Pete will appear as well.

I think people are making too much of a big deal regarding the Lalo comment from Saul when he’s kidnapped in BB.

I don’t think it’s a stretch for Saul to ask if they were sent by Lalo when he’s in that panicked state. He knows Lalo is dead …but he still might jump to the conclusion that his kidnappers are part of Lalo’s ‘crew’.

He doesn't know Lalo is dead. He knows Howard is dead, but has no idea that Gus killed Lalo and that Lalo and Howard are buried together. That's why it is perfectly believable that in the second season of Breaking Bad, he fears Walt and Jesse are there as Lalo's henchmen.

I'm doing just that; I've only watched the first couple episodes of Breaking Bad. I know Gus, Mike and Saul are in BB, and know that at least one of those characters meets a gruesome demise, but otherwise I only know a flimsy outline of the plot of BB.

So far I've greatly enjoyed BCS, and I'm glad that I didn't really get into it until just a few weeks ago and binged from start to season 6, episode 7 (Howard's end...). I don't think I would have had as much of an appreciation for the story (-ies) they've told if I wasn't able to binge a few episodes at a time; the storylines are so intertwined and serialized that it would be very easy to forget key plot points if I had to wait months/years between seasons.


Also, in fairness to White Out 403 and others, e.g.:

The costume design and makeup are very believable for a professional woman in her mid-30s in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Little touches like the curled ponytail are exactly the sort of thing that I see in real-life professional women in their 30s; it's feminine, but the way it's always so neatly and carefully arranged is emblematic of the kind of fastidiousness that lawyers tend to have.

It's also super-interesting to me that Rhea Seehorn plays a character that is about 10-15 years younger than she actually is. It's not uncommon for a 25-year-old to be playing a 16-year-old in a teen drama, but it's very unusual for a 50-year-old to be playing a 37ish-year-old. That Seehorn pulls it off so seemingly easily is all the more proof she's a total babe.

The ending we all knew couldn't happen.

Yup, I mean the whole elaborate planning was cool and very Saul-esque, but just feel like it was a waste of one of the final four episodes.

I hope the rest of the episodes are Gene stuff. We don't need to go back to Albuquerque. The transition is done. We know what happens, I want to see how it ends.

No, we don’t know how it happened at all. All we know is that Saul had become rich (we don’t really know how), then lost everything to FBI (we don’t know how) and then had to run and hide (we don’t know why and how). And there’re only 3 episodes left now. Feels like they are crumpling everything in a quickie fashion, just like Ozark.

I really enjoyed the Nippy episode; it’s just I am getting ready for almost inevitable disappointment by the super-compressed finale.

Yeah I felt it was pretty clear how he got rich. He had lineups of customers that all paid up front.

I adore these 2 together.

If Kim and Jimmy aren't re united at the end of this show I will need therapy.

I bet it was because of that 50 year old chemistry teacher with a pile of cash the size of a Volkswagen.
