ast episode tho:
Howard really had nothing against Kim, the problems were always rooted in truly legitimate people seeing through Jimmy's street sense of "justice". He's really, really fucked up inside, and at the end of the day, he still manages to be the only person that "survives" both series. Really making me wonder whether or not Lalo will kill Kim in the end as she's the only remaining loose end now that the Sandpiper/HHM arc is concluded and this is the defining moment that Jimmy absolutely cannot turn back from. My guess is that Kim's death would seal the deal even more perpetually making Jimmy turn into Saul.

Nah, I doubt Kim is going to die. If nothing else, she'll escape via the Vaccuum Cleaner, though I expect Saul will learn how that works thanks to the Vet using it. Plus, in BB Saul said he was divorced 3 times whereas here he has only been divorced twice.

What I see happening though is Kim is so distraught over what happens she moves back to Nebraska and ends up marrying a cab driver. They get divorced and... well, I think you can see where I end up going with this.

Eh, was kinda so-so on BCS based on the early seasons and kinda dropped off.

Really? This show has been nothing but stupendous. Yeah, Season 1 has some weak points to it, but that's par for the course for any Season 1. Rarely is a show going to be perfect right from the get go. It's one of the reasons I don't think any show should be canceled in its first season as the first season is when the show is trying to find its footing for what works and what doesn't.

The last few episodes to Season 2 is really when it was elevated, especially thanks to that Hitchcockian like scene at the border patrol where they filmed it to look like one take.

And then after Gus entered the frey, Nacho really took off, and when Lalo came in, everything became perfection. Kim's fall from grace outdoes even Walter's fall in BB.

The worst part of all is that BCS has ruined every other TV series for me because even the best shows out there right now are only half as good. Like I don't even think I can touch Stranger Things Season 4 or Kenobi this summer until BCS has ended as all I'm going to be doing is comparing their quality to BCS.

Chuck was the biggest asshole on the show.

Exactly. Chuck is the whole reason Jimmy has become who he has.

Jimmy turned his whole life around for Chuck because he idolized him. He often tried to make the right call after realizing the error of his ways only to have it blow in his face later. Everything he has done was overshadowed by his brother and people only looked at him because of his brother.

Why wouldn't you turn to a life of crime with all of the shit he has gone through? Hell, Jimmy is hands down the most relatable character to me in the entire history of television.

I'm digging the show but in some ways it kinda invalidates BB a bit cause the characters are almost more flushed out now, then there were in the show. Some of the actions they take later don't make sense based on the actions we are seeing now.

That being said, mike was always my favorite char, and in many ways I have grown to like BCS more then BB (and I watched it all the way through twice (once with my wife and later with a friend).

Gonna be sad when it ends:(

How so?

Every character in BCS that has been fully fleshed out was not so in BB. Like we didn't know much of anything about Gus' connections to Madrigal as that plot just seemed to come out of nowhere in the final season to BB.

The only thing we knew about Mike is he had a granddaughter he was saving his money for.

We knew Saul's name was Jimmy, and that he was a Cartel lawyer.

We only heard of Lalo and Nacho by name in one scene.

Hector was already an vegetable.

I'm excited for when it ends because this was one damn good show! I hope we get a Nacho or Lalo spin-off prequel next.

Anyway, tonight's episode was HOLY ****!!!!
