Mike'll be 80+ by the time season 6 is done (I'm guessing 2022 or 2023). It'll take an enormous stretch of the imagination to take him seriously as an enforcer/hitman. :cool:

It doesn’t bother me. Mike is a badass, it’s just his character.

Homelander · 04-04-2020 1:19pm

The bigger fear I always have is with that age category, there's an increasing risk of illness or worse that could leave the actor/actress unable to continue on in the role.

I mean for example what would you do with Mike, if that were to happen?

All I remember is that I hated how there was always a bit before the intro tune, that you could miss if you praised play and went off to make a sandwich.

I enjoyed Fring standing up to deliver his speech at the board meeting and then rolling out the fries - all so tacky and fake.

Thats what I love about Gus, his whole public v private persona. I loved him in the boardroom announcing the quarterly sales figures and then the Los Pollos Hermanos new curly fries "with that southwestern flavour". And then later in the hotel room discussing the construction of the meth lab with Peter. Hes a superb character.

Noo · 05-04-2020 3:06am

I wanted those curly fries so bad!

Watching it I got a horrible feeling that it could end up like the shawshank redemption! When they were discussing their dream homes ...the one with the swaying breeze...or whatever it was. I got an image of Jimmy cryptically saying to Kim to go to where the flowers sway in the breeze (wink wink) and I'll find you when all this over.

They wouldn't do that schmaltz to us would they? They never waste a scene but maybe its just to show us in a normal parallel life as a normal married couple it's something they might have done.

More likely as someone else said she'll end up in a barrel in the new mexcio desert.

Unearthly · 07-04-2020 10:22am

What an episode

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 07-04-2020 10:37am

Literally just appeared on my Netflix... think I'll save this for later and have a few beers.

Best episode of the season so far. Really brings me back to Breaking Bad's filming style and tone.

ISOP · 07-04-2020 11:16am

unbelievable episode! absolutely classic!

Noo · 07-04-2020 11:30am

Yes!

Brendan Filone · 07-04-2020 11:43am

Mike is what Walter was supposed to be. That speech he just gave Saul says all about what his motivations were, he never got greedy or tried to go above his position.

Mr.Prodston · 07-04-2020 11:57am

That. Was. Amazing.

Also, Kim's f*cked!

seligehgit · 07-04-2020 1:10pm

Wonderful!

Real Breaking Bad vibe!

The Salamanca twins or should I say the cousins!:D

Snake Plisken · 07-04-2020 1:49pm

Fantastic episode, Lalo now knows about Kim which is not good. That really is down to Jimmy not thinking things through. Also Mike knows about Kim which will mean Gus knows about her. Could be an opening for how Jimmy gets to know the Vacuum repair guy and she is the first client?
So the guy in the garage who made the phone call was he Gus's inside man or did he tip off the Mexican gang. Broke Jimmy's heart to drink his own piss

Btw Mike had the tracker in Saul's gas tank cap. Was wondering why he took it

Ah, that makes sense. Was thinking he was going to do something to blow the car up, even after they pushed the car over. Was wondering why nothing happened after.

Fantastic episode. Though I would have thought they'd try lure the guy at the end out of the car, shoot him and take the car.

Definitely not looking good for Kim. Can see why she did what she did, but I can't see how it's going to end well for her now.

Snake Plisken · 07-04-2020 2:20pm

Vince directed that episode! You could tell! Also I think both Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks deserve Emmys for this episode alone. Saul's look of despair and crying after the shootout and Mike's speech on why he is going to survive and what drives him. That actually made me sad as we know what happens in Breaking Bad and it makes me hate Walt more. A lot of symbolic stuff in this episode, from Jimmy refusing the space blanket as it reminds him of Chuck, to the end of his car and his "World's best Lawyer" coffee cup destroyed with a bullet. That's the end of Jimmy's old life and he is full Saul Goodman now.

Tzardine · 07-04-2020 2:42pm

Going to go against the grain and say the episode bored me. Found it extremely slow and very predictable.

Actually fast forwarded through some of it - first time i did that in BCS.

alroley · 07-04-2020 2:48pm

I know everything indicates Kim dies, but I really like the character and hope she doesn't somehow.

No I think as someone else has said, this could be how Saul learns about the vacuum guy who gives people new identities. Obviously the actor has passed, but they could still make it part of the story.

ricero · 07-04-2020 6:18pm

Great stuff. Best episode of this series.

Shane St. · 07-04-2020 7:06pm

Phenomenal episode

Fluorescence · 07-04-2020 7:12pm

Wow wow wow, what an episode! Really beautifully shot, excellent acting, Kim is such a good egg and I'm just so worried for her now that both Salamancas and Fring will know about her. Hope she gets an out via the vacuum sales guy...

That might be the most Jimmy has ever heard outta Mike :pac:.

Both of their dry crusty faces in glorious HD is nightmare fuel though!

Mr. Incognito · 07-04-2020 8:07pm

Fantastic fantastic episode

Didnt pick up on the angle for the space blanket

Not going to end well for Kim.

leggo · 07-04-2020 8:44pm

Loved that. Reminded me a lot of the ‘Ozymandias’ episode of Breaking Bad were

Hank dies

: all the major stuff going down in the first half of the episode, then we’re left with the survivors in the dessert trying to both survive and deal with the trauma they’ve just experienced.

expectationlost · 07-04-2020 9:09pm

is this the exact version used? the bit that starts at 2:10

perhaps 2006 remaster https://open.spotify.com/album/1wTqD7FSQ8XgKPy8xBUaEV?highlight=spotify:track:3tBc6zaW5ojbpgKAn3iCL2

RobbingBandit · 07-04-2020 9:18pm

I jumped when I seen the foil

why was I thinking Kim was in that car at the end that would have been an epic twist. Vince Gilligan directed the episode very good episode to say the least I don't think those men were Nachos I've got something for him.

I think that was a Cartel inside job the marksman was Nachos doing I think America Horse with no name would have been a better tune for that montage scene.

HarryStuby · 07-04-2020 9:32pm

Wow.

thecretinhop · 07-04-2020 9:44pm

best tv moment (barr alan p as regard comedy irish man) in ten years.
i used watch this mrs cretin in bed a few beers an amazing whisky and love it.
i now have baby 6 month cretin girl. mammy in bed at 11am lol watched it then holding baby, so sober,tired and holding baby still incredible..

The Black Oil · 07-04-2020 9:45pm

The poor Suziki. 1 - Didn't stand a chance of withstanding the killing a Toyota Top Gear test and 2 - its loss is akin to saying goodbye to the RV in Breaking Bad.

There were a number of nods to BB, including the gun barrel shot before Mike's firepower started tearing up the place. Credit to Gilligan on his direction. The desert doesn't do forgiveness. The eyes of the two lads were like cats, with the glow sticks.

Cactus dollar retrieval's a bitch. Didn't sting as much as 'I have people...', however and with that, the born survivor lives.

And Kim's eyes, man.

McGrath5 · 07-04-2020 10:32pm

Brilliant episode, may watch it again in a few days.

Anyone know why

took the fuel cap from the Suzuki?

Someone explained it in a previous post; Mike had a tracker in it.

Actually I had a thought during the garage scene with the 2 lads cleaning out the car. Is this how Saul gets his caddy?

I think the episode of breaking bad it reminded me the most of was “The Fly”

I think that was Saul's idea, but they didnt exactly have time to go through the details. Mike wouldn't be the type to spontaneously go along with Saul's plans but he really had no choice.
The massive dramatic car roll was really rubbing in that the plan went ****.

JoeExotic81 · 07-04-2020 11:53pm

Mike really left it late before saving Jimmy didn't he?! Was part of him willing the guy to pull the trigger before he stepped in? :pac:

Also reminded me of The Fly. But yeah I enjoyed it, and some possible key points, mainly Kim's imminent departure.

Jimmy seemed pleasantly surprised during his Saul Grylls moment.

Class MayDresser · 08-04-2020 12:25am

Where did Saul get that coffee cup again? Thought the lone rider returning on his own was a bit weak, apart from that I thought it was good. Love the way Lalo gave Kim nothing, great character.

nullzero · 08-04-2020 1:02am

Brilliant episode, so many call backs to things that have gone through all of BCS and BB. The Davis and maine water bottle full of pi55 is a beautiful reference to what he's done to his life.

PyreOfHellfire · 08-04-2020 4:43am

This episode reminded me a lot of the Pine Barrens episode in the Sopranos.

Kim gave the cup to him as a present, think it was when he got his bar licence back

It has divided opinion. Some people think it's one of the best.

arccosh · 08-04-2020 8:16am

The Fly episode almost stopped me watching Breakig Bad the first time I watched it...

Watching it a second time, I thought it was great.... I was far more aware of the context.

BCS is doing great, especially this season IMO

It has really picked up after some really slow episodes

Do you think there will be a next season?
