Better Call Saul: Season 6 Discussion Thread

My take: to make Kim and Jimmy talk. Also, it is his plan at the moment to kill them both after they talk. Why leave them alive, actually?
One thing he might not have figured out, although I doubt he’s still in the dark about this: Bolsa’s role in the attempted bail money hijacking.
I think it was just bad luck for Howard that he was there. Lalo probably couldn't let him go once he made his entrance and then used the killing to put the fear of God into Jimmy and Kim. They will surely fess up at this point.
Another, simpler, take: Howard would have recognized Lalo.

That does not answer the question as to why Lalo revealed himself while Howard was there. Howard was clearly on his way out.
Easiest way to respond to this: when Lalo walked in he had no intention of leaving anyone in that apartment alive.
What Jim said here and before. Assuming Lalo knows Howard is there before he enters (small chance it was accidental), he knows that killing him in front of Kim and Jimmy will give him the upper hand for their upcoming conversation.
So, does Mike come to save the day again? Either way, we know that Lalo can't die with Jimmy's knowledge (or probably Kim).
Lalo's a psychopath. The story of the bell, the copy guy, the human smugglers, etc. - he kills lots of people he doesn't have to.
This could be the reason Saul is talking about Lalo as though he’s alive in BB as well. After what just happened, will Saul ever believe Lalo is actually dead again, regardless of who tells him that he is?
So I don’t think Saul saying that in BB necessarily means Lalo survives.
I have to think that Lalo is dead in BB. My reason for saying this is that Gus tells Hector that he is the last Salamanca left alive.
Also, yeah, in BB Saul thinks Lalo is alive. This precludes Lalo being snipered out in front of Saul and Kim. More likely it happens in the lab in the laundry.
Some casting news.
1. We’re not done with Howard’s wife. Remember that Howard’s last words to her were that he was handling the Jimmy McGill situation.
2. Walt and Jesse show up in Episode 6.10. I could be wrong, but one would think that this could only happen with the passing of a certain length of time from where we’ve left off, two years, I’d say. I’ll bet you anything that we see Tuco out of jail.

yeah, Howard's wife will probably be bugging the cops if he just disappears.
The time jump was bound to happen. I thought it would be between S6A and 6B, but after the cliff hanger, S6B has to resolve some things in the current day.
One more little tidbit to ponder. In BB, Saul says "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio. He's the one!" Saul thinks Lalo is still after him because of the murder attempt. G&G had to account for this when they wrote 6B.
A very nice article on Rhea Seehorn. Nice fact: Odenkirk, Seehorn, and Fabian were roommates throughout the filming of S6. Theirs is an extraordinary friendship; any one of us should be so lucky. Also, Odenkirk came very close to dying and this brought them closer together.
AMC is showing Season 6 again starting on Thursday; I will confirm.

Not sure. Kim’s mom? A Sandpiper client? Howard’s mom? Someone in Gene’s storyline?
I would be surprised if it were simply a cameo. This wouldn’t be like G&G.
Alright, here’s a thought: the actor Robert Forster has passed, he played Ed the Cleaner. Suppose that Carol Burnett is Marion the Cleaner in this timeline, pre Ed? They would be wild. I would think there is zero chance she doesn’t play some kind of shady character, the opportunity here is just too great.
Remember that at the moment Dr. Caldera the vet is looking to sell the little black book with the Vacuum Cleaner Repair business card. It’s seen in Saul’s house when the Feds were cleaning it out. Someone will be calling the number on that card, and it’s going to be a huge plot line. Can’t wait.

Hmm, what if the guy visiting Gene in Nebraska is actually an undercover cop?
You mean Jeff, the cab driver who made Gene? I won’t rule anything out. FWIW, Jeff has no backstory from BB, unlike, for example, Spooge.
Perhaps Carol Burnett will be in this role???
When Jimmy came out of the court room with the two hookers he said …"Thank your lucky stars we got Judge Papadoumian. She likes my flare."
One of my favorite moments on Breaking Bad is when Saul and Hank are going at it...
Hank: Where did you get your law degree Goodman? The same clown college you got that suit?
Saul: You know who likes this suit? Judge Papadoumian. She thinks I'm snappy dresser
One of the best Breaking Bad throw backs so far....Judge Papadoumian!

LionJim, et al, ready to be a star? They are filming one more Saul Goodman commercial and fans have an opportunity to star in it. Make a video of how Saul has helped you and send it on in!!

Found something interesting and could be a connection to Kim in the Gene universe.

A “Kim used Jeff to find Gene” subplot? They went out of their way to highlight the air freshener.Found something interesting and could be a connection to Kim in the Gene universe.

It is crazy to me that viewership has steadily decreased season over season despite the wide availability of AMC... this show will eventually be held up as one of the 5 greatest dramas of all time, up there with BB, The Wire and The Sopranos.
It seems intuitive that viewership decreases season-to-season. Nobody begins in the middle. Between attrition and the natural skewing of partial-series viewership toward earlier seasons, I would expect each succeeding season to have fewer.
That was the trend for The Wire, as well. Note to myself: This seems to be a good place to do a little research on trends for BB, Ozark, The Wire, Deadwood, Justified, won’t take more than a few minutes once I get to it.
I expect BB may have a trend of increasing viewership. IIRC, that show started slowly but built through word of mouth to end strongly with regard to viewership. I will be interested to see what you find out.
