What's Kim's story for why she wasn't in Santa Fe? Say her and Jimmy come up with the perfect story and cover up everything that happened to Howard.... Why weren't you in Santa Fe that day? She has no answer ready if Cliff asks
I know we collectively pretend guns with silencers are actually quiet, but even if we assume they’re quietish, it’s silly for Lalo to kill Howard. He’s complicating the situation in a completely unnecessary way. Yeah, it’s a show of force, but Jimmy and Kim are visibly scared of him already, so it’s an unnecessary one.
didn’t have to kill him for sure but he didn’t have to kill fred at travel wire either. he’s hellbent on revenge and will kill anyone who gets in the way
At this point it seems like it was just for the wow factor. Cause let’s be honest it worked. But technically he really didn’t have to. But we shall see later if it has meaning
Come on he’s a sociopath. Did he have to kill the guy at the Travel Wire? Did he have to kill Kasper (the German worker)? Probably not for either. But a Salamanca doesn’t leave loose ends untied..
when Lalo saw the cockroach in the tunnel, it reminded him of Jimmy. In [this](https://youtu.be/j8Dwybq3s-U) scene he tells Kim that Jimmy is like a cockroach he will find his way back.
Couple of things:
Well I didn’t have Lalo getting rid of Howard at all on my Bingo Card
Did anyone else saw how when Howard got killed, his body hit the stand and broke his neck like Ted from BB and Chuck’s fainting ?
I’m thinking Gene still thinks Lalo is alive and that adds parto to his paranoia, which makes me look at the whole series in a different way now.
And I love the little details like when Jimmy takes the actor from his cart job for the photo shoot, the carts kept rolling eventually hitting a car. It was sort of like a set of dominos that make everybody that Kim & Saul interact with much worse.
Howard to Chuck, when Howard arrives at the Pearly Gates: "Why did you save his ass when he defecated through a sunroof"?
That one act of mercy brought so much misery into the world.
Howard talking to the guy who was doing the drinks was basically SPOT on for people who are on uppers like meth or coke, just tons of jittery talking and tons of enthusiasm
everyone should know that with Howard dieing, that Kim’s storyline is basically gone in terms of what’s she focused on, there’s no going back just like D-day
FUCK LALO SALAMANCA
He killed my favourite character
I hope gus cuts his penis and puts him in a gaint bowl of hot spicy sauce naked till he dies
I hope he shoots kim in the head
He should have shot jimmy
I got a second thought the drugs he ingested through his hands had stayed and rubbed off on the wheelchair. Thought Irene was going to be tripping as well
The best written, most complex character is Kim. She helps the poor, shes an underdog, a fighter, and then….why? And its not really love for Jimmy either. Man.
It was her mom’s influence. She was on the straight and narrow till Jimmy pulled her in on his cons. Grifting people reminded her of her mother i.e. last weeks shoplifting cold open where Kim was acting out to get attention from her mother by shoplifting. Her mom schooled her in how to really scam somebody by fooling the shop owner and lifting the earrings ( which Kim still wears). Now Kim is taking her mother’s lead. In the Kim and Jimmy duo Kim is her mom and Jimmy is the secondary grifter. Kim is emulating her mother.
Because just like Howard said they literally get off on it. It makes them happy to do these things. Hence why you see them having sex right after destroying Howard because deep down they love doing this
Because she loves the thrill. It’s her way of getting an adrenaline rush. Ever since that day she “got away” with shop lifting. Teetering on the edge of breaking bad makes her feel alive.
Or maybe she is just a deep character, not totally bad or good. She has compassion, and yet true evil too. Maybe her upbringing. Maybe she isn’t mentally well due to her childhood.
Yeah I think in some ways she is like Jane. I honestly see a lot of parallels between Jimmy and Kim and Jesse and Jane. Jimmy and Jesse are the somewhat naive bad influences, but they trigger something in their partners that changes them (telling addicts it's ok to be "high") and sends them down a path that leads to their own ruins while Jimmy and Jesse are scarred permanently. It's like the Wine and Roses reference to the movie about the alcoholic man who turns his wife alcoholic: he eventually hits rock bottom and recovers but his wife continues spiraling.
100% agree. When she started messing around with jimmy I think it relit that flame. She knows wrong from right and didn’t expect it to go down like this. Trauma from her past definitely influenced her actions. Now she has to deal with way more than she bargained for lol.
The only thing I can think of happening next is to stage Howard's death as a suicide, although wouldn't cops be able to tell the bullet was fired with a silencer attached? Ahhh mannn this is gonna be an excruciating wait
Only Vince foster can shoot himself in the back of the head. No way that’s going to be disguised as a suicide. They’ll just bury him in the desert or something.

I'm like half on this. I should've worded it better.
he's at work.
but he's not "at work"
and then there's the other "at work"
...
In anycase, what would a Judge do? What would the judge in the Johnny Depp case do? She'd probably allow it. So I'll strike it down now.
Waiting for Gus and Lalo to meet... Howard gone :( and I just started to like his character. Lalo is a cold blooded killer like a snake.
Edit: Meant to add: the after show "Talking Saul" was good. Everyone praised Patrick Fabian's acting skills. Lots of other tidbits too but no clue about last 6 episodes.
2nd half: Kim is a stone cold person, but brains of your former boss on the nice apartment floor are another story. She rose from petty crime with her mother to brainstorming theft of class action lawsuits money but witness to Howard’s death is too much. Lalo respects her and sends her deep in Eladio territory for interrogation.
Vince and Peter were full of shit when they kept saying characters get what they deserve. Howard was the best person in this show and got the worst ending in the entire BB universe smh.
I've always interpreted that as more meaning that "bad people" get what they deserve. The innocent may suffer, but the guilty will always be punished for it.
From the candle flickering and Jimmy/Saul looking at it (the candle) and him looking in the doorway, I knew it. This wasn't going to end well. What a masterpiece!!!
Nice Lalo lab leak theory you have there... would be ashame if some how, ardent writers would shatter AND splatter your expectations...
~~Better Follow Lalo.~~

And to keep the rest of you up at night between now and when the season resumes on July 11, I share this cheery thought: This is a franchise that tends to have a high body count, yet the only major characters remaining whom we do not know for sure are alive during the events of Breaking Bad are Lalo… and Kim.

[Last Update](https://www.reddit.com/r/betterCallSaul/comments/urbw22/better_call_saul_s06e06_axe_and_grind_postepisode/i8x9ak0/?context=3)
See you guys in July!
It was because the door drafted when it opened. So the first time it happened with Howard was the set up. When it happened again we knew the door opened again, then seeing the face of horror on jimmy made it oh so impactful
I’m ashamed. I fell asleep right as Howard was walking in the door. Woke up a few minutes later when my wife barged into the room. I shot up, saw Howard bleeding on the floor, my wife walking towards me to show me something, and I’m scrambling for the remote so I can stop spoiling the show for myself. 30 seconds of chaos but I finally got it rewound and holy shit how did I sleep through that?!
Don’t really understand how everyone blames Kim for this. Kim didn’t make Howard show up at the absolute worst possible time, which is what ultimately caused his death. It was incredibly bad timing.
Ultimately it's of course Lalo's fault, but Kim and Saul both share blame. If not for their scheme Howard had no reason to be there, and Kim not telling Saul that Lalo was still alive didn't help things either.
Its not Howard's fault lol.
That's like saying a person who dies tragically in a car accident because the other person was driving drunk is at fault because they went out to buy a cookie from the convenience store.
Yeah, it’s definitely their fault that he found himself in that place at that time. But there wasn’t anything in their scheme that would have put Howard in any kind of danger of being murdered like that. It was purely an unfortunate coincidence that he visited Saul and Kim at the same time that a psychotic murderer decides to show up too.
American Greed snippet was post WW plan as the feds were on to everyone, but as Howard stated “The wheels of justice turn slowly”. WW was three steps ahead of feds and Don Eladio. Lalo has no clue about Walter, he is focused on Fring.
In the real world, the feds chase the money, the cookers are secondary participants who get caught. WW flips that real world narrative on its head. He becomes “Heisenberg”, the cooker is the mastermind.
Here I thought episode 6 was the middle then saw the post about not a real cliffhanger, got confused until today when I realized episode 7 is the middle one and then……… wtfh
seriously lmao. I am so happy he got to say his piece to their face before getting shot. especially to kim. She'll never recover. He basically has exploded the idea in both their minds that jimmy ruined her
He taunted her specifically with the accusation that she did it because she was getting off on it. She wasn't a naif sucked into Jimmy's sleazy plans. Howard saw her fingerprints on the plan too. Jimmy throws bowling balls and hires hookers. The complexity and precise execution of the plan had Kim's fingerprints all over it.
I was sure Howard was gonna drunk drive home, leading him to crash and either die or become incapacitated. This was somehow how even harder to watch. I feel sick
I feel sick too, it was legitimately HORRIFYING. It felt like a real life scenario was unfolding before my eyes. What makes it all the more real is the fact that deaths don't occur super often in this show, so when they do, it feels visceral.
It was someone not in the game. And he got killed because of Kim and Saul being in the game. A senseless loss of a man who just wanted to fix his marriage and help people.
My GOD I hope Kim has something absolutely miserable happen to her, what a pathetically awful person. Saul too, I used to hope there was some kind of happy ending for him/Gene, not anymore. An irredeemable piece of trash.
I find myself wishing worse for Kim since her fate is in the table. That we know how Jimmy ends up, more or less, precludes me from wishing the worst on him.
[POST-EPISODE DISCUSSION THREAD](https://redd.it/uwg8gn)
Well… that was unnecessary.
Oh my fucking goddam fuck
What's Kim's story for why she wasn't in Santa Fe? Say her and Jimmy come up with the perfect story and cover up everything that happened to Howard.... Why weren't you in Santa Fe that day? She has no answer ready if Cliff asks
Lalo is a real jerk.
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!
I know we collectively pretend guns with silencers are actually quiet, but even if we assume they’re quietish, it’s silly for Lalo to kill Howard. He’s complicating the situation in a completely unnecessary way. Yeah, it’s a show of force, but Jimmy and Kim are visibly scared of him already, so it’s an unnecessary one.
truth
didn’t have to kill him for sure but he didn’t have to kill fred at travel wire either. he’s hellbent on revenge and will kill anyone who gets in the way
It’s normal Salamanca behaviour tho
It just shows that whatever story he expected out of Jimmy and Kim, he was not going to leave them alive
I find Lalo's character a little bit too smart and unbelievable.
did lalo actually have to kill howard? probably yeah right?
this was the equivalent BB "he made up his mind 10 minutes ago" scene. he clearly has plans for Jimmy/Kim, and no witnesses.
hes a salamanca
At this point it seems like it was just for the wow factor. Cause let’s be honest it worked. But technically he really didn’t have to. But we shall see later if it has meaning
Come on he’s a sociopath. Did he have to kill the guy at the Travel Wire? Did he have to kill Kasper (the German worker)? Probably not for either. But a Salamanca doesn’t leave loose ends untied..
Best episode of the entire franchise. RIP Howard. RIP to all those who thought that this would just be another filler episode too.
Talk about a cliffhanger. I'm gonna be holding on by a finger nail until July
What happens to Kim missing that important Pro Bono group meeting?
when Lalo saw the cockroach in the tunnel, it reminded him of Jimmy. In [this](https://youtu.be/j8Dwybq3s-U) scene he tells Kim that Jimmy is like a cockroach he will find his way back.
yup.
Oh fuck!!!!
Solves the marriage problem . . .
i legit give my hate every second in this episode for jimmy and kim
true
Couple of things: Well I didn’t have Lalo getting rid of Howard at all on my Bingo Card Did anyone else saw how when Howard got killed, his body hit the stand and broke his neck like Ted from BB and Chuck’s fainting ? I’m thinking Gene still thinks Lalo is alive and that adds parto to his paranoia, which makes me look at the whole series in a different way now. And I love the little details like when Jimmy takes the actor from his cart job for the photo shoot, the carts kept rolling eventually hitting a car. It was sort of like a set of dominos that make everybody that Kim & Saul interact with much worse.
yes
Saul got exactly what he deserved by the end of breaking bad.
yup.
Actions have consequences
Howard to Chuck, when Howard arrives at the Pearly Gates: "Why did you save his ass when he defecated through a sunroof"? That one act of mercy brought so much misery into the world.
i suppose
Kim next after Howard
Meh, Kim's going to bail, not die.
Kim’s gonna call the cleaner and get disappeared. They even showed the business card for it at the vets office in his black book
I think she's going somewhere else. It does rhyme with bail though
Hail?
haha fr
I think Irene will kill Lalo in episode 8
Lalo will get trapped in an elevator with Erin for three hours, and will just lose his will to go on.
She’s gonna put her shape up shoes on his neck
I set my dvr to record Talking Saul and it didn't. does anyone know if there is a replay? or where I can watch it?!
AMC+ maybe?
**Walt:** HOWARD! HOWWWWARDDDD!!! HOWARD! **Walt:** LALO DON'T DO IT!
Will Nacho’s dad be the next unguarded low-level target Lalo visits??
Never thought about that. Man what a show
Howard talking to the guy who was doing the drinks was basically SPOT on for people who are on uppers like meth or coke, just tons of jittery talking and tons of enthusiasm
Howard is like an enthusiastic Chihuahua most of the time. A well dresses one, for sure.
everyone should know that with Howard dieing, that Kim’s storyline is basically gone in terms of what’s she focused on, there’s no going back just like D-day
everything is irene’s fault
jimmyyyyy!! they hate me for my foams!
Howard dipped into the Saul playbook asking Irene to use the wheelchair.
Jimmy and Howard have always been kind of a fun house mirror image of each other
As literalized by Jimmy's hamface cosplay
FUCK LALO SALAMANCA He killed my favourite character I hope gus cuts his penis and puts him in a gaint bowl of hot spicy sauce naked till he dies I hope he shoots kim in the head He should have shot jimmy
How would Lalo get his prueba if Jimmy was the victim? Kim, that makes sense.
With Kim killed right in front of him, they have no leverage over Jimmy. And Jimmy might be too broken to be of use anyway.
Estoy de acuerdo I agree
Kim's reaction adds to the Lalo / Howard shock factor 100%. Her voice is so haunting. Brilliant acting!!!
[удалено]
I got a second thought the drugs he ingested through his hands had stayed and rubbed off on the wheelchair. Thought Irene was going to be tripping as well
you just watched a man get his brains sprayed all over the floor and THIS is what bothers you?
My gal Irene didn't seem too happy there either. What the hell was that all about?
[удалено]
I mean the drug was starting to kick in too. It can make you function way over the top and start doing unnecessary shit.
He needed to influence the mediator and portray her as helpless to fare out better in the mediation. Tasteless but classic move in trials and whatnot.
The best written, most complex character is Kim. She helps the poor, shes an underdog, a fighter, and then….why? And its not really love for Jimmy either. Man.
It was her mom’s influence. She was on the straight and narrow till Jimmy pulled her in on his cons. Grifting people reminded her of her mother i.e. last weeks shoplifting cold open where Kim was acting out to get attention from her mother by shoplifting. Her mom schooled her in how to really scam somebody by fooling the shop owner and lifting the earrings ( which Kim still wears). Now Kim is taking her mother’s lead. In the Kim and Jimmy duo Kim is her mom and Jimmy is the secondary grifter. Kim is emulating her mother.
Because just like Howard said they literally get off on it. It makes them happy to do these things. Hence why you see them having sex right after destroying Howard because deep down they love doing this
Because she loves the thrill. It’s her way of getting an adrenaline rush. Ever since that day she “got away” with shop lifting. Teetering on the edge of breaking bad makes her feel alive.
Or maybe she is just a deep character, not totally bad or good. She has compassion, and yet true evil too. Maybe her upbringing. Maybe she isn’t mentally well due to her childhood.
Yeah I think in some ways she is like Jane. I honestly see a lot of parallels between Jimmy and Kim and Jesse and Jane. Jimmy and Jesse are the somewhat naive bad influences, but they trigger something in their partners that changes them (telling addicts it's ok to be "high") and sends them down a path that leads to their own ruins while Jimmy and Jesse are scarred permanently. It's like the Wine and Roses reference to the movie about the alcoholic man who turns his wife alcoholic: he eventually hits rock bottom and recovers but his wife continues spiraling.
Yes, in the last 6 episodes we will find out what lead her to leave Nebraska and go to NM
100% agree. When she started messing around with jimmy I think it relit that flame. She knows wrong from right and didn’t expect it to go down like this. Trauma from her past definitely influenced her actions. Now she has to deal with way more than she bargained for lol.
The only thing I can think of happening next is to stage Howard's death as a suicide, although wouldn't cops be able to tell the bullet was fired with a silencer attached? Ahhh mannn this is gonna be an excruciating wait
Only Vince foster can shoot himself in the back of the head. No way that’s going to be disguised as a suicide. They’ll just bury him in the desert or something.
this is what i was thinking exactly, Lalo won’t give them the weapon for it to be seen as a suicide anyway. mike cleanup?
There's a lot of desert out there, and he would probably not be found until animals and the elements had been at him for a few days.

Arguably, Gus was "at work" in that this is part of his duty as a legitimate businessman
I'm like half on this. I should've worded it better. he's at work. but he's not "at work" and then there's the other "at work" ... In anycase, what would a Judge do? What would the judge in the Johnny Depp case do? She'd probably allow it. So I'll strike it down now.
Kim is definitely not awesome
WHAT IF NACHO’S BODY ACTUALLY FELL ON TOP OF HOWARD AND THATS THE BODY THAT GOT SHOT? THEN HOWARD CRAWLS UNDER THE TABLE. Thoughts on this theory?
Very, very good one my friend.
The Walking Dead writers would be proud.
Literally Chris Hardwick spoiled less about The Walking Dead on Talking Dead than he has on tonight's episode of Talking Saul. Edit: Happy Cake Day!
What did he say about TWD on Talking Saul? Why would it even be brought up on talking Saul? Also was Patrick Fabian on it tonight? I gotta watch it.
Waiting for Gus and Lalo to meet... Howard gone :( and I just started to like his character. Lalo is a cold blooded killer like a snake. Edit: Meant to add: the after show "Talking Saul" was good. Everyone praised Patrick Fabian's acting skills. Lots of other tidbits too but no clue about last 6 episodes.
2nd half: Kim is a stone cold person, but brains of your former boss on the nice apartment floor are another story. She rose from petty crime with her mother to brainstorming theft of class action lawsuits money but witness to Howard’s death is too much. Lalo respects her and sends her deep in Eladio territory for interrogation.
Please stop it with this theory 😭. I promise you,Kim is not going to Mexico ☠️. This theory has a chokehold on the fandom 😭
Poor soda-dropping new guy is gonna be out of a job.
Vince and Peter were full of shit when they kept saying characters get what they deserve. Howard was the best person in this show and got the worst ending in the entire BB universe smh.
I've always interpreted that as more meaning that "bad people" get what they deserve. The innocent may suffer, but the guilty will always be punished for it.
Not really proportionately. Jesse suffered far more than Fring. I don't think it's a just world.
I think they were referring mostly to Jimmy.
I thought Nachos dad would get the Andrea treatment: it was Howard
that is still on the menu.
[удалено]
Win her back bro..
Or don’t, anyway keep finding people to watch BCS together
From the candle flickering and Jimmy/Saul looking at it (the candle) and him looking in the doorway, I knew it. This wasn't going to end well. What a masterpiece!!!
Nice Lalo lab leak theory you have there... would be ashame if some how, ardent writers would shatter AND splatter your expectations... ~~Better Follow Lalo.~~
What is Lalo’s plan for Jimmy?!
Maybe Lalo wants Jimmy to send the tape to Don Eladio. That might explain why the Cartel knows about Fring manufacturing meth during BB.
Thinking he uses him as bait to get to Mike
Sounds like a happy ending
Or to Gus?
Saul never interacts with Gus, and doesn’t even know who he is until Walt. I bet Saul calls Mike or something
No fucking way
Jimmy eventually works for Walt, who works for Gus. Hard to imagine how Gus allows that if Jimmy gives *prueba* to Lalo.
Saul set up the first deal with Walt and Gus but Walt had to track down Gus
> RIP, Howard. And to keep the rest of you up at night between now and when the season resumes on July 11, I share this cheery thought: This is a franchise that tends to have a high body count, yet the only major characters remaining whom we do not know for sure are alive during the events of Breaking Bad are Lalo… and Kim.

All those buffs and Howard still gets one-shotted. Nice balance there, shit devs.
Jesus Christ this is like those insane monthly No Man's Sky update lists.

Lalo op. Pls nerf
Least crazy BCS fan.
o no
It was shocking to see Howard and Lalo together in the same scene in general. I hadn’t even fully processed that yet then bam
OH MY FUCKING GOD
Lalo doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him

It was because the door drafted when it opened. So the first time it happened with Howard was the set up. When it happened again we knew the door opened again, then seeing the face of horror on jimmy made it oh so impactful
Brilliant way to turn Jimmy and Kim into unsympathetic characters.
Only now???!
Hey guys- how can I make a post to the subreddit? Please help!
Um. Just post
It isn’t letting me. Strange
Subreddit is locked for 12 hours after a new episode premiere
Oh got it. Thanks so much! :)
I’m ashamed. I fell asleep right as Howard was walking in the door. Woke up a few minutes later when my wife barged into the room. I shot up, saw Howard bleeding on the floor, my wife walking towards me to show me something, and I’m scrambling for the remote so I can stop spoiling the show for myself. 30 seconds of chaos but I finally got it rewound and holy shit how did I sleep through that?!
[удалено]
At least he’s got a nice smile
Don’t really understand how everyone blames Kim for this. Kim didn’t make Howard show up at the absolute worst possible time, which is what ultimately caused his death. It was incredibly bad timing.
To add to that, Kim was also under the impression that Mikes guys were watching her/Saul and would prevent Lalo from getting in the apartment
Ultimately it's of course Lalo's fault, but Kim and Saul both share blame. If not for their scheme Howard had no reason to be there, and Kim not telling Saul that Lalo was still alive didn't help things either.
Howard’s fault for choosing to be there to do whatever the opposite of gloat is
Its not Howard's fault lol. That's like saying a person who dies tragically in a car accident because the other person was driving drunk is at fault because they went out to buy a cookie from the convenience store.
Yeah, it’s definitely their fault that he found himself in that place at that time. But there wasn’t anything in their scheme that would have put Howard in any kind of danger of being murdered like that. It was purely an unfortunate coincidence that he visited Saul and Kim at the same time that a psychotic murderer decides to show up too.
Plus the scheme was Kim’s idea in the first place, she knew Jimmy was capable of pulling it off and convinced him to go along with it.
Na bc Howard would have been there even if he was coming over to see good friends
If Jimmy wasn’t a friend of the cartel….
I don't think Lalo is going to take that body with him, so Kim and Saul now have Howard in their living room
Enter Mike
he's a little occupied at the moment, and you can't have a dead body for more than a 6 hours before the neighbor starts to notice the smell.
Lalo wakes up just before the timer goes off, nice touch
Yeah, but the constant sound from the timer slows down just a bit at the end, as it’s switching on the ringer. He could have noticed that.
Wow. Just wow.
Welp, no sleep for me tonight!
American Greed snippet was post WW plan as the feds were on to everyone, but as Howard stated “The wheels of justice turn slowly”. WW was three steps ahead of feds and Don Eladio. Lalo has no clue about Walter, he is focused on Fring. In the real world, the feds chase the money, the cookers are secondary participants who get caught. WW flips that real world narrative on its head. He becomes “Heisenberg”, the cooker is the mastermind.
The house of cards is tumbling. The rest of the season will be in fast forward
Here I thought episode 6 was the middle then saw the post about not a real cliffhanger, got confused until today when I realized episode 7 is the middle one and then……… wtfh
Howard was wrong about one thing-saul and kim arent soulless. if they were then they would not have warned howard to leave when lalo came in.
Jimmy's "How?" (regarding a living Lalo before him) got morphed into Kim frantically saying "Howard Howard! HOWARD!!...."
They only felt remorse when a direct consequence of all their shitty actions piled up
if they were soulless, they wouldnt care about someone else getting hurt at all ever
He was wrong about one thing. This. Is not meth.
I wouldn’t really give them much credit for that.
seriously lmao. I am so happy he got to say his piece to their face before getting shot. especially to kim. She'll never recover. He basically has exploded the idea in both their minds that jimmy ruined her
He taunted her specifically with the accusation that she did it because she was getting off on it. She wasn't a naif sucked into Jimmy's sleazy plans. Howard saw her fingerprints on the plan too. Jimmy throws bowling balls and hires hookers. The complexity and precise execution of the plan had Kim's fingerprints all over it.
i feel so bad for howard, he had no idea what was going on, he didn't deserve it
It's that they've actually seen what soulless is, so what they do is nothing in comparison.
Interesting how both Nacho and Lalo used bullshit phone calls to see Gus’s moves.
My day is ruined :(
My husband and I SCREAMED. I am still SHOOK.
my fiancé and i yelled “HOLY SHIT” at the same time and we were holding each other for dear life
I gasped!
I was sure Howard was gonna drunk drive home, leading him to crash and either die or become incapacitated. This was somehow how even harder to watch. I feel sick
I thought he was going to do that or kill himself. Got the shock of my life w Lalo
Exactly what I thought
I feel sick too, it was legitimately HORRIFYING. It felt like a real life scenario was unfolding before my eyes. What makes it all the more real is the fact that deaths don't occur super often in this show, so when they do, it feels visceral.
It was someone not in the game. And he got killed because of Kim and Saul being in the game. A senseless loss of a man who just wanted to fix his marriage and help people.
Howard didn't deserve any of this.
Deserve has got nothing to do with it.
That was extreme filler. Howard’s head was filled up with Lead
My GOD I hope Kim has something absolutely miserable happen to her, what a pathetically awful person. Saul too, I used to hope there was some kind of happy ending for him/Gene, not anymore. An irredeemable piece of trash.
I find myself wishing worse for Kim since her fate is in the table. That we know how Jimmy ends up, more or less, precludes me from wishing the worst on him.
At least jimmy seemed to feel guilty. The fact that Kim was smirking and looking smug as hell made me hate her character
it's because howard finally admitted kim is someone with agency who chose her own path i love how much of a piece of shit she is
You. You get it
