Better Call Saul Season Thread - Season Six - April 18th

[frshstunna]

Gus definitely was flirting with yo at the bar…That scene was just to give a glimpse into what he does non work related…Goes to a nice bar to chop it up for a lil bit then gets right back to his business mind, a quick peek into what “normal” is for him after some heavy **** just went down…Like a reset for what’s next

That whole scene was Gus treating himself to living his best life after taking out Lalo and meeting with the cartel. But the reality is that his work puts everyone in danger. Him walking away from the bar was an act of kindness to that other dude.

 

[Sinner]

I dunno... I didn't see it as Gus being kind to that guy and not wanting to get him involved in that life... but rather, Gus not allowing himself to live that side of life for how it may affect his work. To me, Gus will always put his own life first.

 

[Nouss]

I thought the look that Mike gave Gus in the tunnel was a "you still tryna build this lab after all that bs?" look.

It can be both. I doubt Gus wants to be in another situation where his lover (assuming Max was his lover) is killed by the Cartel.

Kim hit her breaking point.

Exactly this. That lie about Howard was incredibly cruel, not only on Howard, but also on his wife, who will have to live with that for the rest of her life. And the fact that Kim was so smooth and natural with the lie (she probably enjoyed it as well), it made her realize what she had become... leaving Jimmy was the only option.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Gus at bar shows how focus and single minded he is

had nothing to do with not wanting to get the guy involved in his life

I have NO idea how people see that as him flirting.

It’s just a good shout at him trying to be normal.

 

[Master Zik]

Ppl still don't know Gus is gay and has no game so he's very insecure about it?

 

[Mark Antony]

I'm still just amazed how they were able to not just weave an intricate, intelligent story out of the little lawyer **** from Breaking Bad, but it's one of the best shows on TV. That's crazy.

 

[sonoftony]

I'm shocked that Kim didn't get got or got a new name with the vacuum guy like we all thought

 

[Sinner]

Who knows... we might get an update on Kim in the finale?

 

[spiderjericho]

And the fact that Kim was so smooth and natural with the lie (she probably enjoyed it as well), it made her realize what she had become... leaving Jimmy was the only option.

I think the issue is a show with strong characterization and story telling. Slung shot that breakup in one episode. We see they have PTSD and trauma. Kim does the most abhorrent thing we’ve seen. Then fast forward she’s in court saying she can’t represent. Then it’s fast forward home. Fast forward Jimmy is dead.

 

[Air273]

damn kim really sold the lie hard......oh I saw him snort........ oh you're right you know him better than anyone who knows what I saw..

poor howard. he doesnt even get to have his business continue on with his name


kim def ends up in Nebraska

 

[beh235]

Kim hated what she had become with Jimmy. She had to sell the lie to protect him, but it seems like she asked herself, where does it end? They wanted to get back at HHM, but not at this cost. Seeing Howard get clapped in front of her, then telling that lie...Jimmy broke her, and she can't break bad, despite enjoying all the shenanigans she was up to. We now have the full Saul turn with Kim gone, she took the last piece of Jimmy with her. In effect, Jimmy died too.

Y'all right with Gus, he's hyper focused, but doesn't want to risk bringing in someone he loves and losing them because of what he does. He's the only character to realize this out of everyone we've been introduced to. He learned the first time.

 

[maxelite]

As we learn, the real motivation for Gus eventually becomes his demise. He's too caught up in getting his revenge.

 

[moonman818]

I think they'll end up getting back together and she's gonna end up getting killed before the Cinnabon era.

 

[Sinner]

Ok, I just realize her name's pronounced "Ray" Seehorn.

 

[sonoftony]

at that moment, Gus knew he won as soon as Eladio's saw Hector's condition as a liability.

 

[Nouss]

Ok, I just realize her name's pronounced "Ray" Seehorn.

First time I saw this name as a kid, I pronounced it Ray. But I was told that was wrong.

25 years later, I've been vindicated.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

so whens the finale?

i'm kinda sad this show ending

 

[Nike Jordan]

Sometimes, the name Rhea is pronounced "Ray-ah"

 

[frshstunna]

Thought it was Ree-ah
