I'm surprised they didn't show any of that to start off the season. I'm pretty sure every season started with the "modern day". They did start with the raid of Saul's house this season, but that scene was in color, wasn't it? The flash fowards to Gene were always black and white.

I just finally watched the mid-season finale last night. The moment Lalo entered the scene, I instinctively shouted out "OMG, they are going to kill Howard!" I could just feel it coming! I did not think it would go down when it did or so quickly, however. It still shocked me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond_Bills Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Theory: They foreshadowed by showing the Vacuum Cleaner guys card during one of the recent episodes. I think Jimmy gets scared for Kim's life and she is the first to go with the vacuum cleaner guy. The show will end with her and Jimmy eventually meeting up in Omaha.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I just caught up and holy ***** lol Over the past month I've binged all of BB and BCS, and the whole time in BB I was wondering why Howard Hamlin was never around. That answers that 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was for a bit when he put Kim in doc review. But after that, he was fair to them. He didn't deserve the aftermath and certainly didn't deserve to be killed by a cartel member that Jimmy was working with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's debatable whether Jimmy was "working with" Lalo or whether he was held hostage by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the writers worked hard to make Howard an interesting, complex character. Sure, he was "that guy" in a lot of annoying ways, but he was pretty much harmless and I think genuinely wanted to treat Jimmy fairly, perhaps out of respect to his brother (and Howard's mentor) as much as anything. But if Howard was just a flat, predictable, jerk, he would not have been nearly as interesting as a character, nor would anyone have cared when he was killed off. I enjoyed him as much as anyone on the show and Patrick Fabian's acting was great! He'll be missed! Maybe we will see new material from him again in the future in flashbacks.

Logic Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hell of a midseason finale, for sure. Loved the mediation scene with Howard melting down in front of everyone. Then, of course, the big scene at the end. The second the candle flame flickered, I thought "oh *****....that's not good. Something's about to go down". Rhea Seehorn continues to deserve an Emmy. Can't wait to see how this thing wraps up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time it was the Nebraska license plate in her flashback. I think she's alive and they're somehow going to bump into Gene at the end of the series. That’s been my thought- that the fate of Kim will be revealed when she appears in the post BB world with Gene in Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Has been solid so far, not the best season but not bad by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had built on a theme for a long time that she was the sort of attorney who really wanted to help people, especially down and out people, more than make rich individuals/business entities richer. She was always going to leave the corporate world behind at some point, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I read that S6E8 will be a Lalo heavy episode but who knows with this writing team. Spoilers are online due to this one being shown to the Emmy voting audience last week but what's the point of knowing ahead of time. I prefer to be blown away at the same time with everyone else.
