“You think you lost everything? I AM EVERYTHING” ~ Kimsenburg
She did it for herself. She liked it. She was good at it. And she was really, she was alive.
Everything I do, I do for this law firm!
- Kimsenburg...probably
this is the moment Kim Wexler became Finger
@@luancervantes6124 Kid named finger:
@@luancervantes6124 okbuddychicanery moment
Hector: 😏
Gus: 😠
Bolsa: 😊 All is well
Bolsa was honestly just a puppet in the game Don Eladio, Gus, and Hector were playing. Everyone used and manipulated him to their own benefit because he's basically just a higher-up "yes man"
I really feel bad for what they're doing to howard, he's certainly proud and cocky but he doesn't deserve all this.
@@williamshelton4318 I agree that Howard should've pushed harder against Chuck, but to him Chuck was like a second father and the most brilliant man he'd ever known. I don't think it was until after Chuck died that Howard really grasped how far he'd Jerry that all go
@@17thknight Plus Chuck before being exposed with mental illness had too much power in HHM at that point. Having Jimmy as an HHM lawyer means going against Chuck and going against Chuck means destroying the firm. When it’s about hiring Jimmy or protecting the firm, anyone with the right mind would choose the firm like Howard.
They're still milking hours on the Sandpiper case, and any beneficiaries in the end might not even live to see any of that money.
I never believed Howard to be cocky as much as I believed he likes to keep himself buttoned up because he believes it comes with the profession.
Agreed, though I had a thought about the car following Jimmy & Kim at the end: it's a tail hired by Howard. I think at this point we're expecting Lalo, but it would also make sense that after Howard finds the fake cocaine from ep1 and is genuinely confounded, there's every probability he'd have heard about the kerfuffle with "Saul" on the very same day. After the last season's shenanigans, it's not a reach by any means that he could put two and two together, and decide to investigate Jimmy's movements just in case.
This plays into a guess I've had about Kim's fate - I don't think they get to enact their grand scheme against Howard; I think they get just far enough to be incriminating and Howard is a step ahead, and catches them in a way that only Kim goes to jail. And I'm sure smug "you've ruined a good woman" Howard would be enough to push Jimmy into full Saul mode, and frankly I wouldn't discount Saul doing something unforgivable to Howard after this to fully break bad.
Then again, I say all this with the knowledge I did this exact same kind of plot guessing for Breaking Bad, and they still swerved me.
The "sheep and wolf" reference at the end was a throwback to an earlier episode in which Saul has a backflash to his father being conned by a dude pretending to have a broken down car and no money, then buying some gum from Saul (who was manning the counter of his father's shop) presenting a wad of cash and saying "there are wolf and sheep"
i think he said that because he felt bad for the kettlemens and gave them the money, just like his dad felt bad for the conman and gave him money
Nice
It's a reference to how Jimmy didn't get the lead role in Dances with Wolves. Lost out to Kevin Costner.
@@josephshovlin1672 holy crap, i got the basic reference to the callback of the original episode but I never noticed the tie in with Jimmy giving them money and feeling bad for them, just like his dad did.
i assumed he mentioned 'wolves and sheep' because he was acknowledging that the Kettlemens were sheep or something, but your comment makes all the more sense
i think even more than all this, that saul always thought that he chose to be a wolf, but now he recognizes that kim has become even more of a wolf than he ever anticipated.
Little small easter egg is the old man who was talking to the Kettlemans when Jimmy arrived. That was the old man who sold the truck to Walt in the last season of Breaking Bad!
Yes, and when saul arrives you can see the truck that Walter white bought from him
This season has begun with a bang. I can’t wait for the new episode tonight. This show is incredible and I love how the story unfolds and how the character development is for these characters, new and old. Great reaction man!
I just watched the new episode, and I'm not okay...
@@BrazoFuerteProd yeah…
Yeah the waits between seasons were brutal. The absolute hardest was after Hank figured out who Heisenberg was and in BCS the end of season 3
I feel like that quick scene with Mike's granddaughter in the last one is gonna end up being the thesis statement of the entire season. Mike warns her that the marble is going to jump the track, and she says it'll work when it's finished. Every single prominent character in season 6 seems to be weaving some kind of overcomplex plan for their own ends, and it's likely many of them will fall apart under their own weight (just look at how many steps Gus took to get Nacho killed; so much could go wrong, and it did ultimately go wrong, since he got away). Doesn't bode well for anyone.
since you skipped it I'll assume you didn't catch the meaning of the elderly lady walking outside the kettleman's place.
back in S1 when Kim tells Jimmy he should get into elder law she says how her family members and lawyers ripped off her grandma during the last days of her life.
when Kim saw that poor woman walking away after being scammed it got personal for her.
22:27 Reminded me of some dialogue in the very first episode of the series
Chuck: "Money is beside the point"
Jimmy: "Money is not beside the point, money IS the point."
The elderly native gentleman who gets the cheque from Betsy is the same character who Walt buys the truck off of in “Ozymandias”. You can see the truck briefly as Jimmy pulls in to meet the Kettlemans.
Regarding the "carrot and stick" phrase, it's about the offer of a reward (carrot) and punishment (stick). Jimmy wanted to use the money (carrot) to persuade Betsy from going to Howard, but she and Craig have already been troubled enough to not be convinced by the money anymore, hence why Kim uses the threat of the IRS against them (stick).
I always thought it was carrot on a stick, as in, holding out a stick with a carrot tied to it making the animal you are riding always chasing it.
Just like when Mike confronted Nacho about giving back Pryce's stolen baseball cards in episode 2 of season 2, where he says Tuco Salamanca is the stick.
@@vcraine they are both connected ideas
Yeah the commenter 6a is correct. Riding an animal (bugs bunny) with a carrot dangling in front rather than a danger behind. Allows greater control of the direction it is going
In the scene with Mike, i think Gus was angry even his hands were twitching and when he dropped the glass, I immediately thought of the 'box cutter' moment. That's why at that moment he wanted to be done with Nacho and his father.
Also the man Lalo used as a body replacement said thanks for the dental work when he first arrived. Lalo been planning this.
I'm late in catching up on your reactions, and I just lost it at the John Cena insert at 9:12 😂 You're hilarious my friend. It's the levity I need in an otherwise nail-biting episode
That onslaught was not from Lalo, remember Bolsa got the number of the motel and he told the Salamanca's and sent the twins to get him. Nacho only got the gun from Gus because he expected Nacho to be killed in a shootout so he would not be caught alive and questioned. Why do you think Tyrus told him to shoot anyone who comes through that door? because they would make sure he was found by Salamanca's and not look suspicious if anyone from Gus's side were to have him killed when Don Eladio and the others made it clear they want him alive.
The fact the twins had to shoot one of their own crew just to clarify they needed him alive shows what a high risk of him being killed it was, and what a calculated plan it was. They knew Nacho had to be smart AND lucky to escape that. They knew he was smart but still underestimated it, and that gave him extra leeway for how lucky he needed to be (not as much as they were hoping).
I wonder if some of those guys were also Salamancas? Not direct relations but maybe still relations. Would explain that guy ignoring the order to get him alive, he might've just been too furious. If so that has to make the twins even more furious (but they're still in control).
@@Torthrodhel i totally agree with this… so many people are saying they don’t get how gus could be so stupid, but they don’t mention the fact that his plan was a millisecond away from working, and would’ve worked if the salamanca twin didnt kill his own guy… it definitely wasn’t gus’s greatest plan, and he knows that, but it’s not like it was a plot hole or anything… in retrospect, gus should have figured out a way to extract nacho right after the assassination as opposed to leaving him basically on his own
The attack on the motel wasnt Lalo, it was the Salamancas, who got the tip from Don Bolsa who found the info Gus had mike plant in Nacho's safe. Nacho being outside when it came was sheer luck. They were there to take Nacho alive, hence when the twin killed his own underling for shooting too indiscriminately at Nacho in the truck. But they had been dispatched to the motel probably as soon as Bolsa told them where Nacho was suspected to be and just had arrived when Nacho was confronting Gus's spy.
Agreed on all of this, with every passing episode the likelihood of Nacho surviving the series seems to fall. I can’t see Fring’s operation continuing so smoothly if they can’t manage to handle this situation right now. It’s the messiest Gus has been, his plan hasn’t worked and I obviously don’t see this ending badly for him.
Gus' men did the shooting at Nacho to take him out while Bolsa's men (twins) followed in another car to try and prevent death. Not sure if Lalo also contacted twins not to kill Nacho. Probably Bolsa and Lalo wanted him alive for answers while Gus' guys opened fire (first two) plus the guy Nacho knocked out in hut. Gus had 3 men there shoot to kill. The others were sent by Bolsa.
The "are you sure about that?" Edit made me laugh so unexpected but loved it lol
Crazy episode!
Some things we know:
The twins end up having respect for gus. They even went after hank on gus' call. North is HIS territory and they respect it.
Hector is just chillin with Tuco watchin novelas.
Mike is still Gus' #1.
my prediction is that mike kills lalo. the cartel isn't the wiser.
Not sure if lalo really dies... Becuz in BB jimmy/saul thought when walter and jesse kidnapped him that Lalo sent them
@@howardron543 It could also be that Lalo was killed but Jimmy was never let known of this fact so for years he's been thinking Lalo will come after him but in reality he's dead.
Got the prediction wrong
@@sebastianwiton2907 how so?
@@howardron543 in Breaking Bad Gus makes it very clear that Hector was the last Salamanca alive, doesn't mean that Lalo dies during BCS but he certainly does before BrBa introduces Gus
JUST FOUND OUT WHAT THE 6/3 DOMINO MEANT :( after watching the episode after this one and then coming to see this reaction, yeah he was right, that was calculated 2:04
This season is gonna be mental, already so gooooood
Oh man you're not ready for episode 3
If you think about, Kim is the reason Jimmy becomes Saul. After all he switched the numbers because he wanted to help kim. Also Kim embraces his alter ego of Saul and encourages him.
Nacho: Trying to run over The Twins
Hank: Heh First Time? 😁
Ended up In the Hospital for weeks with B Mineral
@@Kevin.Costner. Lol
mike knew from the begening what gus planned to do, thats why he didnt wanted to take natchos phone call. Plus tyris said if anyone comes knocking shoot. their plan was that natcho would be killed in a shootout with no escape.
Never disappointing me with the bcs reactions man keep it up
Native Americans place the flowers and roots of ocotillo over fresh wounds to slow bleeding. Ocotillo is also used to alleviate coughing, achy limbs, varicose veins, urinary tract infections, cervical varicosities, and benign prostate growths.
The Twins be suffering PTSD (Pre Traumatic Stress Disorder) with that truck backing into them.
4:32 It’s funny to think that Jimmy described exactly what happened to Walter White (and the reference was on the nose with “white” background). Jimmy made fun of lung cancer just so that a guy with lung cancer will later enter the game and destroy Jimmy’s life.
Karma is a b*tch.
Your channel is my favorite of all the rection channels! Really looking forward to your reaction to episode 3! And to the rest of the season!
Mike didn’t want to, but on Gus’ orders, he planted that envelope in the safe. So that Bolsa could find it and see the phone number that leads to Nacho’s hiding place.
The only way that makes sense from Gus’s point of view is if Nacho is killed by the Cartel. If they take him alive, they’ll expose Gus’s connection to Lalo’s assassination attempt. So I’m guessing that was what Gus was hoping for: that Nacho would give them no other option but to kill him.
@@CraigKostelecky yeah Gus was hoping that Nacho would be killed by the Salamancas after exposing the motel he was staying at
The plan would probably have worked, if Nacho hadn't figured out that Gus was setting him up. If he had done as he was told, and stayed in his room and shot everyone who came through the door, the Salamancas wouldn't have had another choice than to shoot him to save themselves.
But Gus obviously underestimated Nacho's intelligence.
9:12
Hahaha, I almost spit out my food while watching this 😂 nice one Brandon
I wish he added a paper tearing sound it would've been so perfect lol
I think he's done it once before as well and caught me off guard lol
This season is going to go down as one of the best seasons of tv history.
In the beginning the girl stopped on a 9 numbered domino. Now you got me thinking of significances because Gilligan and Gould dont add things on accident.. they went to the school of chekovs gun
18:55 This will be a recurrent feeling when each episode ends
Something neat, at 14:28 Vince Gilligan is who’s in the boarded up building looking up at Nacho when they filmed that scene. He can now say he was in the show😂
8:30am Monday Morning Brandon drop? That's what's up!!!
5:30am for me
@@younggriff9792 I miss living out West. Stuff always came out earlier. Lol 😆
I still believe the Kim tells Saul about the vacuum cleaner guy: she has already used him.
Huh
this was my thinking as well, although the writers need to be really careful not to overuse the vacuum guy
Good catch with the domino, timed with Mike's comment of "he won't be coming back". The 6 and 3 of that being the episode Nacho dies
Nice catch on the domino being number 9 (the one Nacho's girl steps on). Someone on reddit pointed out that when Kim was leaving a hotel near the end of season 5. She stops next to room number 609. Might be a coincidence but the fact that (as you pointed out) the girl stepped on number 9 might be a hint.
There's at least two aspects of this episode that low-key add context to Breaking Bad!
1. When Hector looked Gus in the eye, he wrecked Lalo's plans. This likely makes him MUCH less likely to ever look him in the eye again -- until the moment he blows them both up.
2. "Is it safe to sneak up on Hank and shoot him from behind his car? What if he tries to run me over?" "I mean, remember Nacho? We dodged once, we can do it again!"
Holy crap....having watched the season 3 times, it takes Brandon to make me realize the connection with the dental work!!! And, therefore, the whole reason for the scene with the couple!
cute man ain't you
Copy pasted this from another reaction channel. Cool interpretation of what's happening:
"Gus wanted Nacho to think he was safe, when Gus was actually planning on icing Nacho from the beginning, which is why he had the lookout to make sure Nacho didn’t run away.
Mike knew Gus was probably planning to kill Nacho but still went along with orders and planted the Motel number in Nacho’s safe, knowing the cartel would find it and because it was in the safe they wouldn’t suspect anything. Mike took Nacho’s dad’s ID out of the safe because he didn’t want his dad involved in it. Gus wanted Mike to plant the number in the safe cause he wants the cartel to find and kill Nacho themselves. If Gus killed Nacho, it would just raise more questions and the cartel would start suspecting that there’s someone else on the inside who knows everything. The problem is that the cartel wanted Nacho alive to find out who he was working for, which is why Nacho was given very specific instructions to shoot anyone who comes through that door with no hesitation. Gus was planning on a shootout occurring where the cartel would have no choice but to kill Nacho. Gus now thinks he is fucked because not only is Nacho fully on the run and the original plan went to shit, the cartel and Lalo are now looking for him and if either of them catch him, he’s afraid Nacho will rat him out, so Gus wanted to threaten Nacho’s dad cause he knew it would be the only way to bring Nacho to him."
That was like 5 scenes in a row that could have been cliff hanger worthy! And I would have screamed for everyone..."Nooooo!!!"
You've been watching a lot of series on your channel recently, but I have another to suggest. Artfully shot and full of amazing actors and characters.
Hannibal.
The story of how Hannibal Lecter from Red Dragon and Silence of The Lambs went from Psychoanalyst to just plain Psycho. It's amazing.
A morning upload after I called in sick to work. Most unexpected! Can’t wait for the next episode tonight!
I think during Gus and Hectors handshake, the way Hector was looking at Gus is the reason why in BB Gus keeps telling him "Look at me Hector" as a way to punish him for being cocky in that moment.
Always thought that was because Hector and Bolsa forced Gus to look into Max's eyes as he bled out into Don Eladio's pool
Oh, there's more significance to the glass breaking... just wait.
18:17 I think you mean FTSD (future traumatic stress disorder)
Yes and Lalo paid for the body doubles teeth. He planted identical dental implants without him knowing. Insane.
The Motel confrontation was part of Gus' plan. He planted the location in Nacho's safe and gave it to the cartel as a show of peace, he also instructed Nacho to shoot anyone who came through the door (even giving him extra clips) so that he would die in the eventual shootout. What they didn't account for was that Nacho would figure out that Gus had someone keeping an eye on him.
That's why Mike wouldn't take Nacho's calls and later was hesitant to plant the letter with the location. Unlike Gus' goons, Mike has some compassion for Nacho.
it definitely wasn’t a show of peace… gus did that competely behind bolsa and the cartels back… if the cartel knew that gus knew nachos location, they would know that gus orchestrated the hit against lalo
You think Mike knew about Gus's plan then and was going along with it? Why wouldn't he warn Nacho.
@@HarryWful Mike definetely new it, he hesitates when putting the letter down, which means he knew its contents. That's also why he was ignoring Nacho's calls, he was feeling bad about it bud ultimately it was gus order. He even says on the phone "not my call". Mike understood the reason of letting Nacho go, the same way he understood why werner ziegler had to go. He didn't agree with it, he offered other options, but it was Gus call to make, he's the boss. The thing is, Nacho and Ziegler were in the game, and despite Mike thinking that things could be solved differently, if the boss final order was to kill them, nothing he can do about that. This episode it's important because of that. That's Mike boundaries. He goes after Hector because he threatened his granddaughter. He stands up against Gus when he decided to go for Nacho's dad. These people are not in the game and he will not be a part of it.
@@gibbs5720 well put, thanks
@@josephshovlin1672 I mean, that is stating the obvious. Of course Gus never meant *actual* peace, he's always been plotting behind the cartel's back.
AMC released a bonus at the start of the month that you should also react to. It's a short episode of American Greed that served as the recap for the series, but is still very fun.
I don't know if it's true, but I read that the bloke Betsy gives the cheque to is the one who sells the Chevy to Walt after the shootout that gets Hank and Gomez killed. In fact, you can see the car outside... obviously it's not the same actor as Saginaw Grant was probably feeling poorly when they filmed this (he'd die a few months afterwards), but if that's true then this brings the amount of BrBa characters crossing over to BCS to 37 up to this point, only four of whom (Stacey, Kaylee, Jodi and Joseph) were recast.
The guy watching Nacho must be one of the Addams family, since he’s “mysterious and spooky.”
He'd have to be altogether kooky though, and I dunno, he struck me as the kind of guy to have off-kook moments.
Vince Gilligan is an amazing director!
25:38 ~ To add to your thought of Lalo seeing himself as a god-like figure... In the Bible Jesus was killed and then came back from the dead. Lalo was also _"killed"_ (or at least believed to be killed) and also _came back from the dead_ . I know, not exactly the same thing because Lalo didn't actually die but still, the similarity is there.
Gus finding out Lalo faked his death confirms he dies this season and Saul never found out. Unless he fakes his death a second time and shows up in the Gene timeline which would be crazy!
The scene where Hector looked Gus right in the eye adds so much more weight to Gus's reaction to the same thing right before he dies in Breaking Bad. The last time Hector looked him in the eye, it was because Lalo was alive and was going to come for Gus- so as soon as Hector looked at him again, he knew something bad was coming.
Great reaction dude!
I love Kim so much. Perfect character
20:42 OMFG THERE IS
6:00 The way they filmed that reminded me of the ending of Planet of the Apes.
Don’t know if someone else has mentioned it… but on his bedside table is the hg wells time machine book from the season opening
Hey Brandon,
love your reactions! Keep up the good work an greetings from Germany ✌🏼👌🏻
Lalo gets killed by his own family, for bringing and vouching for Nacho.
this show and your reactions are my reason to keep going, bro
9:09 Great edit
Wait....so knowing what we know through episode 7, do you think the Kettleman's will actually try to get Craig exonerated since Howard's reputation has been tarnished? Is the inflatable their gift to Jimmy?
Lalo fixed that guys teeth and made them match his own teeth thus same dental records
11:13 i love this cut omg
Match cut! Always impressive to see one!
I'll stand by my comment from last week - the cinematography has definitely stepped up a notch or two for this season (so far).
22:47
Kim to everyone in that room:
“Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? ...Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop being a lawyer? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up; disappears, it ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in.
I am not in danger, Betsy. I AM THE DANGER!
A girl opens her door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!”
Haha, same vibe there.
Kettleman spin-off next ? :) those two are hilarious ^^
Mike feels guilty for the death of his own son, he doesn't want nacho's father to feel that feeling.
He gave away Nacho's location to the Salamancas knowing that Nacho could die in that shootout, so I think Mike is more concerned about protecting Nacho's father since he's not "in the game." Also, if the Salamancas or Gus killed Nacho, they would make sure no one finds the body. His father would never know if he died or ran away.
5:36 he even had his dental records copied onto the man.
It will be interesting to see the reveal as so far I don’t understand Gus’ plan. Pointing the Salamanca’s right to the only person that can corroborate Gus was involved with that letter pointing them to the motel.
I think getting Nacho killed in a firefight was Gus' plan. Giving Nacho a gun and instructing him to shoot anyone who comes through the door was part of that plan. But Gus underestimated Nacho's intuition and resourcefulness. Gus isn't as "perfect" as he is in BB. I think it's mistakes like this in his attempts to address the Lalo situation that strengthen his resolve. Once Lalo is out of the way and Nacho is dealt with, he's going to feel pretty invulnerable (much like Walt felt once Gus was out of the way).
The Best RUclips Content
Let's go. Game day for BCS and a reaction from Brandon. A good day indeed. Phenomenal 2 episode premiere. Episode 3 tonight is going to be insane.
And I was thinking, the writers recently said we would see BB differently after this final season. So my theory, Mike's willingness to get Jesse out safely will hold more weight cause he couldn't get that for Nacho. A roads point to Nacho not making it out. Sorry but he's not this shows Jesse. And it's gotta tear Mike up just leaving Nacho out to die basically. But he is in the game. Nachos father isn't. And that's Mike's line.
If anyone’s into ghosts, and a fan of Gus. There’s a show that has an episode about Giancarlo Esposito. “The Haunting of Giancarlo Esposito. It’s pretty interesting.
Carrot and stick is two ways to get a donkey to pull a cart. Either lead it by holding a carrot in front of it or beat it with a stick. That’s why Kim’s comment is so cold.
They also used it before in BCS when Mike was talking to Nacho. The “stick” was revealed to be that Mike knew about Tuco and how Nacho was going behind his back with the drug deals with the Squat Cobbler.
Here we go. AnaKIM Skywalker yo.
Something I noticed from the first episode. The first part showed what would be Sauls house and no signs of Kim living there. Then in a later scene, Kim says to Jimmy that Saul Goodman should have a flashy car and a "Cathedral of Justice" He seemed to have both in that opening scene. Im wondering if that is some foreshadowing that something bad happens to Kim, and Jimmy honors her by getting the flashy car and cathedral of Justice she spoke of.
Better Call Saul is Kim Wexler's Breaking Bad
The best hour of TV ever.
**Native American Man & His Old Truck** - the retired Native American man at the beginning of the episode is the same man who sells Walter White his truck (also seen in this episode) so that he can put his barrel of money in it and drive back to his home after Hank & Gomez were killed in BREAKING BAD!
Slippin’ Kimmy/Giselle is a Walter/Heisenberg of this show.
The characters who started as “good” guys living a boring life, always strived to be more thanks to their weak parental figures. Both of them teamed up with the problematic partners who were being viewed by the society as “lowlife scumbags” comparing to the “good guys” like them. Both of them also introduced to the game (or in a simpler term, getting “corrupted”) by Jimmy in season 2 only to end up being the greater danger than Jimmy himself and became the ones to push Jimmy down further into moral corruption.
But most importantly, they are extremely prideful with the iconic quotes that nearly have the same meaning “You don’t save me. I save me.” = “I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger.”
How are they this good at these two shows? I'm serious. They just created shows to damn near perfection in my opinion. I know the pacing and overall story isn't everyone's cup of tea. (And for those people, they can't be trusted :) But you cannot deny the quality. Only 2 episodes in. But it shows the confidence fans have in gould and Gillian and entire crew that no one is really worried about how it concludes. You don't find that often.
Vince directed the shit out of this episode
what an episode! cannot wait for the next one
The John Cena edit was incredible
You forgot Howard’s car was the green one with the Namat3 license plate
I think the Lalo/cross thing is a visual metaphor for him "dying" and coming back. Not sure how far they'll take that as this show is usually pretty subtle about these types of things. Regardless I can't wait for Lalo's reappearance with the rest of the characters.
The Carrot is a reward the Stick is a threat.
Money = Carrot.
Legal Threats = Stick
I think the car at the end is Lalo.
I was thinking the proof that Lalo was talking about is the lab and maybe he was the one who was tailing Kim and Jimmy
If this was Breaking Bad, the Salamanca twins would have shot everybody in that hotel. Remember the parking lot scene?
No. The people in the parking lot were witnesses
@@ikoandreas5085 so were the people in the hotel and the illegals that saw Lalo kill the coyotes, compared to the cousins killing the illegals for remembering their boots
My money is on the car at the end being Mike. He needs Saul to do something to help Nacho...
No it's Lalo, Mike still has a gun to his head in Gus' trailer
@@TAG152gaming hmm not sure I thought Lalo was still in Mexico looking for his evidence? Well, we'll know soon enough!
The Lalo and cross symbolism could be that Lalo has been resurrected and risen from the dead
Carrot vs stick: There's a parable/ image of a donkey ... They're stubborn, so do you get them to move by positive incentive (carrot placed in front of them, inducing them to move forward) or negative (hit them in the butt with a stick)? Age old question, and no one answer... and sometimes it takes a little of both.
A week an episode seems like a long wait but it really lets each one set in. Binge watching seasons cheapens the experience in my opinion.
The cross may also mean that Lalo rose from the dead.
