Better Call Saul: Season 6 Discussion Thread

What show/ movie were they watching at the end? If anyone knows it's you and I bet there is significance.
Nope, Born Yesterday with Judy Holliday.
The movie theme reflects some of the plot in BCS.
Brassy blonde moll Billie Dawn (Judy Holliday) hits Washington, D.C., with her unscrupulous millionaire sugar daddy, Harry Brock (Broderick Crawford), and his sleazy lawyer, Jim Devery (Howard St. John), who has been pressuring Harry to marry Billie by pointing out that a wife cannot be forced to testify against her husband. In an effort to make Billie more socially acceptable, Harry hires journalist Paul Verrall (William Holden) to smarten her up -- and sparks soon fly between the pair.
The magic of that image is a testament to the brilliance of the writing and directing team of BCS.
A lot to unpack and go forward on to July 11: Kim knew Lalo was still alive but didn’t tell Jimmy because of wanting to scorch Howard. How will Jimmy handle this information? Mike told Kim she and Jimmy were being watched due to Lalo still alive but all the guys were pulled to Gus’. How are Kim and Jimmy gonna manage a dead Howard in their apartment? Plus we have “one of our own”, alum, Patrick Fabian, getting a big tragic send off!

Got info from BCS site explaining the movie they were watching, as they say my bad.
I don't really understand the Lalo trip around the world. He is part of a criminal syndicate. If he kills the "Chicken Man" people will be po'd but he can show that he will earn no biggie.
It seemed a little forced to me to send him all over the place to get clues to trap Gus.

Gus earns big money for the cartel. It’s like the Mafia, you don’t kill a made man without the Boss’s permission. Lalo needs Eladio’s permission to kill Gus.
His Girl Friday was in an earlier episode.
Howard and Kim together - my streak remains intact.
Dammit, first Chuck, now Howard.
Howard realizing for all Chuck's brilliance it still wasn't enough.
Lalo confirming he's alive to Gus so that Gus will pull his guys off Saul. I'm guessing Mike is pulled in to clean up Howard.
Wow. Just ******* wow.

Yes, what Howard said in front of Chuck’s portrait. He was a sad, damaged, confused man.
Kim cannot possibly come back from hearing Howard call her “soulless” and then seeing him shot down like a dog less than a minute later.

Kim and Jimmy both came back from utterly ruining Chuck and leading to his death. They didn't witness the violence of his death, but they knew about it.
It was short but man that was an emmy worthy performance. Just such great writing and acting.
Just my spin for the last six episodes:
Jimmy and Kim are done, she didn’t tell him Lalo was alive and he tried to dissuade her from the Howard scheme
Lalo leverages them with dead Howard in the apartment. How he leverages them, who knows.
Lalo still needs to get into the laundry underground to get his “proof” for Eladio. Lalo will meet his end in the basement with Gus hidden gun.
Gus will find the video of Lalo talking to Eladio and this will prompt Gus to set up the poisoning of the cartel members later.

This is true but Howard conveniently took the blame for Chuck’s death. That was their out. They were told by serious people that they were in the game, but Kim insisted on continuing the long con on Howard. Kim knew Lalo was alive. You have to ask if one of the reasons Kim kept this news from Saul is that she was afraid Saul would insist on 86ing Operation Howard.

Sticking to my guns and saying this will not happen. G&G keep making the audience think they are done and then turn it around.
Kim's breaking bad arc is not complete yet.
Yes. I’m constantly surprised. G&G are constantly surprising at a very high level. Sometimes it takes a while to read the tea leaves, and more often than not the other shoe drops before you’ve figured what’s going on. I mean, how many of us saw Lalo showing up at Saul and Kim’s?
I thought he was going after Gus' other henchman that is the rival to Mike. He still might, it's a minor arc, but one that seems like it needs some cleaning up.
Honestly, every time I see Saul and Kim in the apartment, I kind of expect Lalo to show up.

No, the one he visited after his home was attacked. He had a beard, shaved and looked like Lalo. He has to be a decoy or going after someone…
That guy’s dead. The reason people think Lalo is dead is because they found this poor look-alike dude’s body.
Right now my money is on Kim killing Lalo. “You’re made of sterner stuff.”
The topper to the Tequila bottle has to come into play. There was a reason the clerk at the counter told him to be careful it was very sharp and the lone shot of it laying on the street.
The only problem becomes why Saul would think Lalo was alive later on. I also have a hard time seeing Kim taking him down considering his track record.
I have never been right on any prediction so far, that I can remember. Probably Howard ends up killing Lalo.

Good point.
If Kim and Saul were to split soon after the Howard situation, he may not be aware if Kim (or anyone - Mike, Gus, that team) kills Lalo at some point. Mike might have a reason to not tell him that Lalo was dead, although I don't know what that reason would be.
Trying to out-guess this show is just a giant brain cramp for me. I give.
I just don't see Saul living his life in BB with such gusto is Kim dies at end of BCS... I think she survives, somewhere in Omaha perhaps
Lalo killed that dude and burned his body and left it in his house so everyone would think he was dead. He even had his teeth fixed so they would resemble Lalo’s dental work.
I think it's just become symbolic and they wanted to draw attention for those that had forgotten about it.
Funny, I just rewatched the BB cartel murder episode last night. I had forgotten (until I read it recently) that Gus had used that same tequila.
Solid reasoning. Why Omaha though? Why not still in Albuquerque?
Saul has to believe that Lalo is still alive. Gus must kill him in the unfinished lab.
Here is a question. Does Lalo come after Kim/Saul just because of the situation in the desert with the bail money? Last season, he is still not sure of what happened after visiting Kim and Saul. What has convinced him since then?
