Better Call Saul - the sixth (and final) season

[The Guppy]

Lalo also had a meeting with Gus where he had a tour of the site, with Gus telling him it was going to be a chiller room for chickens. Lalo wasn't convinced and his suspicions that it was something not so innocuous were confirmed when he got to speak to Ziegler.

Wasn't it a fake site too? They had the German boys building a decoy structure at the chicken farm.

Can someone please explain something for me? What does Lalo want with Kim and Jimmy? Why are they next in the chain? How could they provide any proof that Gus was responsible for the hit on his compound?

My guess is he'll use Jimmy to get to Mike, to get to Gus. But I don't know how.

I don't think he has a use for Kim, but killing her might make Jimmy uncooperative.

[gmoney]

thanks guys. my recall for detail on this show is really bad for some reason.

Mine too. I watch and enjoy every series, and by the time the next one rolls around I haven't got a clue what happened in the last one.

[notjosh]

I tried the can thing at some work drinks yesterday and can report that it was a great success, leaving everyone hugely impressed. Pretty sure I'm gonna be looking at a big promotion and maybe one of those corner offices everyone goes on about when I go in on Monday.

[The Guppy]

No you're going to get shot.

Also Howard calling Kim and Jimmy sociopaths

After whatever happens next, I think that line is going to haunt Kim and she'll leave Jimmy. I don't think they'll kill her off. I think she'll just get the fuck out of there and what HH said here will be the catalyst.

The gaslighting of HH was fucking masterful. Enjoyed every last drop. I don't need to agree with Jimmy's actions just as I didn't need to agree with those of Walter White; I just loved to see Ken Doll Howard being fed his own lunch every week even if he's not the villain. I loved the insanening of Hank Schrader in just the same way. I am probably a sociopath too. Oh well. *smokes fag*

[The Guppy]

They can't kill Kim off because then the future scenes have no stakes. Jimmy is a dickhead and it's hard to really care if he gets caught or killed. He needs an emotional connection with someone, and there's only Kim left.

Maybe! I always read those scenes as Jimmy just trying to stay alive because there's really no alternative.

Hey, they could actually make a Jimmy McGill: The Cinnabun Years show next. Bob will age into the new character perfectly. You may mock but it would be better than Slippin Jimmy, which obviously should not exist and I for one will not Google that again.

That was enough when Jimmy was still likeable. He's going full Saul Goodman before the end and that cunt needs dead.

Another little non-spoilery teaser for season 6 part 2:

[JamesTC]

The music on that teaser makes the think of Everywhere at the End of Time.

[Dex Sawash]

Is no one going to mention the way Americans pronounce "centrifugal"?

Spoiler alert

"Buoy"

SEE LAHN TRO is how I say it

Great shout. What an album.

Isn't Lalo's connection to Jimmy through Nacho? So he thinks Jimmy is suspect beacause of Nacho and doesn't suspect a Saul-Gus-Mike connection?

I also forgot most of the slow methodical story buildup.

[Dex Sawash]

No you're going to get shot.

The sad takeaway from that is that nobody else at your work watches the best thing that TV has to offer at the moment.

Wonder what that last outfit is.

Spoiler alert

prison jumpsuit? Butlins redcoat?

As mentioned above, Lalo knows Jimmy through Nacho. So he could either suspect some knowledge/involvement from Jimmy, or, if he's now certain that Nacho was working for Gus/Mike, he might suspect Jimmy knows them as well.

He can also be reasonably certain that Jimmy and Kim won't go to the authorities, so he can openly a) be alive and b) get them to do whatever he needs. So that could well play into it too.

Shamelessly copied from the wikipedia thread:

Spoiler alert

Cinnabon Gene's uniform?

[Frances Found]

Cinnabon Gene's uniform?

Sorry, I meant the one which is just removed from the hanger before we can see it.

[JamesTC]

Yeah, the insinuation is that we are about to see the final step of his life in the final six episodes. What comes after Gene.

[NoSleep]

As I recall, isn't Cinnabon Gene situated in the area that Kim grew up in?

[druss]

I still don't understand why the can thing hasn't been common knowledge before now and can only conclude that I am living in a simulation.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

As I recall, isn't Cinnabon Gene situated in the area that Kim grew up in?

Well, it's Nebraska. It's rather big though.

[Blue Jam]

Kim grew up in "a small town on the Kansas-Nebraska border". Omaha is on the Iowa-Nebraska border. Gene does carry a Kansas City Royals lunch bag though, and we know that's Kim's team:

[Dex Sawash]

Is Kansas City even in Kansas? I reckon @Ferris (wheelbueler) knows

[Ferris]

No, it's in Missouri. I think some of the city limits extend into the next county and into Kansas (so there is some Kansas City actually in Kansas) but it's a common misnomer because it isn't really. That nice mr trump made that mistake a few years ago but with all his gaffs (remember he tried to buy Greenland?!) who even remembers these minor ones.

The Kansas City royals are based there, for whatever that's worth. They knocked out the best Jays team for a generation back in 2015 via some Bartman-esque cheating involving a bearded child. All very surreal and I'm certainly not bitter. They were still a likeable team (Cain, Merriweather, Morales) so there you go.

I've never been summoned to a thread before, how exciting!

[Blue Jam]

Ferris, yesterday:

[Ferris]

Just saw @Blue Jam's post about the royals - that part of the mid west is very poorly served for Major League Baseball. The royals have free reign for several states basically until you get to Colorado going west and Ohio north/east. I know this because I briefly dated a girl from Lincoln, NE, and also because I'm a baseball nerd but the first explanation makes me seem more debonair than I actually am.

[stonkers]

There's also a Kansas City in Oregon, which is neither a city nor in Kansas.
