DarkStar189 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Who was the guy that lifted his head at the very end of the trailer? It looked like I was supposed to recognize him? I think that was Lalo behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Two episodes dropped at once tonight - wife and I will be watching tomorrow night, very excited. Kind of annoying they are releasing it in two parts with a 2 month break inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 I missed this show SO FREAKING MUCH! Bittersweet for this to be the final swan song but nevertheless, it is chock full of threads to be tied up & I am so along for that ride! Can we all agree that Nacho is completely & totally FUBAR'd from all directions? Sorta feel bad for this kid, no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Holy shit those were two very tense episodes of television. I feel so bad for Nacho, but man is he playing it as smart as he can. And Kim. And Lalo. The show is in top form, and I didn't imagine so much would happen in just two episodes, but then I remember it's the final season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm ignoring all the posts here. I just finished season 5 and I'm waiting for season 6 to build up before binging it on AMC+. In the meantime, I'm rewatching Breaking Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 For some reason I completely missed season 5. I’m rewatching season 4, at the moment and I’m just continually blown away by the craft on display in all the little details. Obviously BB and BCS are well regarded for their fun use of POV and tabletop shots, but what I appreciate so much is the sound side. A ton of storytelling gets done just with the sound design. Incredible stuff. Can’t wait to get caught up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Can we all agree that Howard really isn't as big a douche as Jimmy and Kim make him out to be? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard is a “try hard”, as the kids say, more than anything. He has a lot of insecurities and seems to think he needs to play a certain part, but being in season 4 right now as seeing his facade break in the aftermath of Chuck’s death makes it pretty clear that he’s not that bad a dude.

Dude... I've felt bad for him ever since the show revealed that Howard actually wanted to hire Jimmy but Chuck vetoed it. Seems like he's giving Jimmy the benefit of the doubt when it matters. Not that he doesn't have flaws or moral failings but everything we've seen of him leads me to believe he's not the villain that Jimmy and Kim think he is. 100% agree with you.

skillzdadirecta Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Here's my prediction regarding Kim Spoiler Jimmy is gonna sell Kim out to save himself and she's gonna take a fall, either losing her ability to practice law and or going to jail. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 @skillzdadirectacoming with the FIRE on predictions that I never even thought plausible nor possible. JFC I kinda want to see this, even though it would break my heart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Here's another hot take, by the time this show is over I think it may end up being BETTER than Breaking Bad. I loved Breaking bad but by the end of that series I utterly DESPISED Walter. Jimmy, Kim, Mike, Nacho and even Gus are all folks you can kinda still root for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Despising Walt by the end was the point, but yeah Jimmy, now Saul, is certainly more likeable; he's funny, smart, and even though he's a con artist, in a way he's not fake like Walt was when he was putting on his tough guy persona wanting to be Tony Montana, but practically breaking down crying when someone actually tough threatened him. Walt was pathetic in that way. We could still see Saul do something really despicable though, but I don't think it'll be Skillz's prediction. I should watch a recap though because it's been two years and I can't remember why they want to screw over Howard so much. I barely even remember the Kettlemans, so not sure what the deal there is.

Moa Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Can someone explain Kim Wexler to me? She's a great character and I like her, but I just don't understand her motivations and can never predict what she's going to do or how she's going to react to something. Spoiler Throughout season 5 I kept waiting for the "you've gone too far" moment. The show constantly teased at the crumbling of Kim and Jimmy's relationship, but every one of his unethical decisions and acts of dishonesty towards her seems just to increase her loyalty towards him.

IMO it's because she is exactly like Jimmy. She has become a Jimmy watching the little guy be fought for by Jimmy. She likes seeing the top dog get humbled. And on some level she can't hold it against Jimmy when he goes too far because she probably would have done the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see the episode with her flashback to when she was young you kinda get why her attraction to Jimmy because of her relationship with her dysfunctional mother. She has a savior complex that drives her to want to rescue Jimmy (and others) because of her mom. That's a key difference between her and Jimmy because at the end of the day, Jimmy is at his core, purely motivated by self interest. Say what you want about Chuck but he was right about everything he said about Jimmy. By the wasy I started the series over yesterday on Netflix and I'm already halfway through season three. Such a brilliant show and Jimmy's character and arc is even clearer watching the show all at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Given the way Jimmy looked at Kim when she dealt with the Kettlemans, I think she's going too far even for him, and he's going to break things off with her, maybe even after she does something that he thinks is so egregiously wrong he can't forgive her. I think she likes making people suffer if she thinks they deserve it. She was pretty ruthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
