Yep.
Also, someone somewhere pointed out that Kim is wearing Saul Goodman colors in the Season 6 trailer. (You will recall that Kim has always dressed conservatively.) Gilligan and Gould will make sure this is the greatest season.

Rewatching this brilliant show, Season 5, one thing for sure is that Lalo is a criminal genius, extremely detail oriented. Tremendous acting job by Tony Dalton.
Yeah, the scene in the meth house, where he examined each baggie, was classic Lalo. (The most classic Lalo scene was when he brought Hector the bell from the hotel they burned down,)
I’m rewatching Season 5 a day at a time, an episode at a time. I’ll be looking for informative stuff like this.
I am continually amazed at the performances they get out of all the actors. Lalo is unbelievably intense even when smiling.
I had forgotten that after Gus poisons the heads of the cartel, he tells Hector that he is the only surviving Salamanca. Lalo will somehow die in Season 6.
Cranston and Paul confirmed to appear in BCS Season 6.

I introduced my wife to Breaking Bad through these episodes:Interesting suggestions:
The 9 Best Saul Goodman Episodes to Rewatch Before 'Better Call Saul' Season 6
Only the very best, with just the right amount of dirty.collider.com
My wife will be joining me in watching BCS Season 5 on Netflix and I will DVR Season 6 to watch with her. She's a lot less into BCS than I am, and has never watched Breaking Bad, so these seem like good suggestions.
1. Saul’s first appearance.
2. Hector shoots Max by the pool.
3. The poison in the tequila episode.
4. “Face-Off.”
5. “STFU and let me die in peace.”
6. Saul and Walter meet just before Saul is transported to Omaha.
Since this was for my wife’s benefit (she watched BCS but not BB), I skipped the final episode and also the scene where Todd kills Andrea.
There are so many good episodes. I do like Better Call Saul better than BB.
I think what puts it over the top for me is the camera work and cinematography in BCS. Yes BB had it too and was good I just think it went next level for BCS.
2 of my favorite episodes are (and I'm sorry I couldn't find a link for this one) but its the one where Saul and Kim go to find the building for their new law firm.
and just the way its shot with the camera sitting between the two rooms and following Kim and Saul is brilliant.
This one is my favorite. I am an avowed "tracking shot" junkie. This one is superb.
I think my 3rd favorite episode is the trial between he and Chuck. The acting is just phenomenal and the fact that Micheal Mckean didn't win an emmy for this episode alone is criminal.
One of my favs. I need to create a gif so you get the whole shot of Mike rising up from the asphalt.
I read somewhere that Gilligan considers the final episode of Breaking Bad to be a rip off of The Searchers. In The Searchers, John Wayne is going after Natalie Wood with the intent to kill her, and then lets her live. When Jesse was found under the car after Hank died, Jack asked Walt if he was okay with Jesse being shot and buried right there. Walt nods. At that point, it was Todd who stopped Jack's hand because they'd need Jesse to tell them exactly what he'd told DEA. In the finale, it's certainly plausible that Walt intended to have Jesse shot along with Jack and his crew. Now, either Walt consciously decided to save Jesse by pulling him to the ground, in effect channeling John Wayne in The Searchers, OR he pulled Jesse down because it was the most practical way to get the Nazis shot, and he could kill Jesse later. Gilligan is suggesting #1. I would vote #2 if I had a vote.
Todd signs his death warrant by stopping Jack from shooting Jesse and one can certainly make the point that Todd could have shot Walt if Jesse hadn't already strangled him.

I just rewatched the shootout. Gilligan definitely called it.
It seems that the first two episodes of Season 6 will air back-to-back. I just set up the DVR and the time slot is two and a half hours. IMDB has the first episode entitled “Wine and Roses,” and the second is “Carrot and Stick.” The AMC title for the 9-11:30 time slot is “Wine and Roses / Carrot and Stick.”

An easy guess: Lalo is going to send people after Nacho’s father. I can’t see it ending well.
Probable, but Nacho has gotten himself out of a bunch of really bad situations, so that twist could happen as well. This one tops all the others, though. And it ain't my job to figure out the "how" of that, which I can't, just to be entertained one way or the other.
Wifey and I watched the Friday Night Lights series last fall. Had not seen it before. All the characters are terrific. She really liked Landry, aka Lance, played by Jesse Plemons. I told her she should watch BB and his character in that series, and let me know how she feels. Watching FNL gave me a huge appreciation for how talented Plemons is. He pulled off both characters extraordinarily well.
Then I told her about Matt Jones, who was Baxter in Mom, and how he played Badger in BB. I enjoy seeing these contrasting characters played by the same actor.
Ironically, Gus has also used threats to Nacho’s father to encourage Nacho’s cooperation.
Yeah. Mike isn't okay with that.
Hey, maybe on Monday or Tuesday you can edit the thread's subject line to indicate that we're discussing Season 6.
Yeah, and Charles Baker, who plays Skinny Pete, I really admire his talent.
I called up Jonathan Banks and he told me that Mike would have handled things in exactly this way. Well done.
I consider Baker’s scene with the police in El Camino to contain just about the best acting in the complete Breaking Bad Universe. I couldn’t find that scene but here’s something close.
