Even if it happens first in the timeline, to us the viewer it's the 4th time someone has done it to escape their problems.

It's dull now.

It would be like if they kept dumping people in Carbonite in the Star Wars Prequels. It would be boring by the 4th time.

I don't like the idea of Kim getting the vacuum cleaner treatment either. Seems too easy and it's been done before.

Kim didn't have a choice. She knew she didn't. She's smart enough to realize Lalo would have killed them both if she snitched.

Which is ironic because it turns out he wouldn't have lol

If she had snitched, she'd be sitting in a police station and he'd be halfway to Mexico with a tape of Gus' hole for Don Eladio.

how so? lalo would not be able to infiltrate the laundry if she had spoke to the cops. if she went to cops, then they don't pick her up, laundry still guarded, and lalo gets caught going in. that was kim's last lifeline that she decided to not take, i think.

I'm glad they got Lalo out of the way early. The problem I have with prequels every time is the fact that any "life or death" situation loses its gravity. You already know who survives, so they have to make up for it by creating more of a "how" they survived.

I'm excited for things to play out for everyone remaining. Kim is the biggest "how" remaining, given we don't know what happens to her come Breaking Bad.

The question now is "what do they do for five more episodes?"

Kim is going to see Saul sending her on Lalo's "errand" as a massive betrayal. This is going to be the giant "step to far" in the shenanigans they have been pulling, esp. with Howard's death and Mike telling them to keep telling the lie that they started (oof).



Saul sent her to get her safe. The look in his eyes when she is leaving, he totally expected that to be the last time he saw her. He wanted her out of there because he was expecting Lalo to kill whoever was left in the apartment. He didnt expect her to try and kill, he just wanted her away and safe.

Yeah he kept saying "Go, just go"

He was begging her to just drive to Peru and not look back

This. Saul couldnt guarantee her safety while shes trapped with Lalo, but knew she had a chance if she got away from there. Bottom line he was putting her safety ahead of his own.

Outside of making a show that follows Jesse Pinkman living a normal life in Alaska, I dont see what more they could even do with the characters still left in this universe. Better to end it now while its still good than to drag it out until the point it overstays its welcome.

so lemme get this straight: Lalo thought of this whole elaborate plan to get Gus but didn't think of wearing a bulletproof vest on the off chance that something could have gone wrong? lol

minor nitpicking aside, good episode i guess.

He didn't meet vest guy like his cousins did later on. Guy must have been with that girl who likes to be peed on at the time.

I mean, it looked like he got shot in the neck. Vest wouldn't've protected him there.

Either way like I said earlier in this thread, his mistake was fighting on Gus's turf. Out on the streets, Lalo would win. He underestimated just how far ahead Gus would think in his own controlled areas. Like, her completely disarmed Gus. Who would think there could be a gun planted down there in a secret location meant to be hidden lol.

He was more than likely in the Chilean army/government so he has skills. It's been halfway references a few times. Hector calls him "the grand generalissimo" at one point. He probably has gotten his hands dirty many, many times. His scene with Lalo shows he still is quite dangerous by himself. I like that.

I agree with this for the most part. Lalo was a great character, but he's also secondary at best in terms of importance; he's only been around since S4 after all, and was arguably only introduced so that the Salamancas could still have a proactive presence in the story after Hector was incapacitated. This is primarily Jimmy and Kim's story, and we didn't need Mike, Gus, and the cartels' side of the story overshadowing it right up until the very end. Lalo already delivered the worst possible consequence upon Jimmy and Kim shy of killing either of them, and narratively the need for him as an antagonist had come to an end.

A young Gus (with a different actor) rising up in the Cartel and building up Los Pollos Hermanos as his front could work and be interesting. It would be hard to do BB/BCS Easter eggs though.
