Just please don’t do like breaking bad and finish season 6 one episode a week🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ray H

The Legend of Lalo

Jorange

One wonderful thing about the final season is that it's 13 episodes!

Tim Martin

The Slippin’ Kimmy double-finger-guns!! Don’t forget them.

Christophe

I don't know guys, I feel like you're kind of treating Kim the same way Howard did 😅 sort of taking agency away from her, like she's doing all of this to impress Jimmy or something

Dustin

Man what a fantastic finale! So much going on and at the end of it all is Lalo! As you stated, quite possibly the most instinctual and dangerous villain we've seen in either BCS or BrBa, and he's just a joy to watch every time he's on screen. I absolutely cannot wait for the next season, you're going to love it.

bryan

in fairness, kim does double down on the antics jimmy started, especially right after he brought up the notion of leaving her

Kara

That's actually a good point for scheduling. It sort of lines up perfectly though - 6 weeks of 2 eps, then the finale as a oner with a longer discussion.

Kara

Lalo is such a good wildcard because he's a new type of villain for the series AND we don't see him in Breaking Bad so its like...... what happens??? ahhhh! its gonna be a fun 6-7 weeks.

Kara

Kim's primary reason for "taking down howard" is that if the sandpiper case is settled, Jimmy gets 2 Million USD+, which Kim can use to fund her "pro bono law practice" idea. In her mind its a total robin hood situation - they take "evil Howard" (not my read!, their read!) down a peg, the elderly victims get paid, the lawyers still get paid (slightly less) and Kim and Jimmy get $2M nest egg to build their futures. It's still obviously horrible (hence why Jimmy says as much) but look at what Jimmy went through for 100k USD. imo Kim is thinking, what would/could we do for 20X that? How far would she go to get financial security so she could service her pro bono clients forever? what would be worth it? Nacho is one of my fav characters and his performance is really understated cuz half the time he's talkling quietly next to big characters, but he deserves all the flowers. man i was so worried watching through the first time... he really feels like the 'Jesse' of this show to me. I am so excited to finish this series with you. BCS is one of my fav shows and imo, unlike some other shows, it ends really really well

Kara

lovely semi-callback to "It's All Good Man" last season finale too.

the thing is, i don’t think kim really changed all that much. i mean yeah, she is doubling down because she loves jimmy and doesn’t want to lose him. but i think she was always capable of these things. she was morally/ethically grey even before jimmy, and the show is trying to tell us that she has her own agency. jimmy isn’t making her do any of this. she wants to do it. in this episode she makes a declaration to howard, stating, “i make my own decisions.” i think season 2 illustrated this perfectly. when jimmy is telling kim about how he made a fake video of a client sitting in pie (squat cobbler), kim says “you fabricated evidence to exonerate your client”, and she says jimmy could get caught and lose his bar license. she then tells him she doesn’t want to hear about this sort of thing again. because she doesn’t have spousal privilege and she can be compelled to testify against him if he gets caught. jimmy thinks kim just isn’t okay with it morally/ethically. for kim it’s just about getting caught. same thing with jimmy switching the mesa verde documents at chuck’s house for kim’s sake. kim didn’t want to know about it because that complicates things legally speaking. then, in season 5, kim thinks she has solved the problem by marrying jimmy. now they have spousal privilege and she feels more comfortable taking bigger risks with jimmy. and she sort of gets a thrill from it too. my point is, i get the strong feeling that kim has a history of being underestimated, and even jimmy didn’t realize that deep down her moral and ethical framework goes outside the law, and she’s been capable of making darker choices all along. the difference now is she feels more comfortable taking the risks that jimmy takes.

Chris Bruneau

Girls, the final season is bangin! no spoilers, but hang on to your hats!!!!

Joe Blankenship

Yeah, the hit squad was pretty shitty. Bro was just firing that gun all over the kitchen, like why?! You know you weren't hitting anything. And crawling down into the tunnel?? Stupid. That's what Gus gets for going through a middle man.

Daymee

I'm so glad that you are excited and and energized for this next season! I know several people personally who I recommended they should watch Breaking Bad, and they were like 'I don't know, whatever, at some point.' and then they watched it and went, 'You're right! that was great, I should have watched it sooner!' And then I said they should watch this and again just, 'The one about the lawyer? That seems boring.' And they still haven't watched it! And I'm like, it's not boring, trust me. It's going places. And oh boy, this next season goes places.

Daymee

13 big, meaty episodes. I wonder if they'll do a three episode run at the end or two, and a finale?

Kara

S1 Kim wouldn't dream of "ruining howard's life" for 2 million dollars. She's changed a lot imo.

Christophe

Kim's motivation here has always kind of mystified me, I kind of like that angle. Definitely better than to think she's trying to impress or one-up Jimmy. And while I don't think, in general, Kim harbored as much animosity towards Howard as Jimmy did, that interaction they had where Howard definitely was pretty condescending towards her (even though he was kind of right) obviously didn't help. He put her on the defensive about her relationship and now she wants to double down on Jimmy.

Christophe

Yeah that was always a weird one. Especially because they had Gus explicitly say how very skilled they were. I know Lalo is a badass but he shouldn't really have a chance against a squad like that that actually knew what they were doing.

Joshua Luzania

I think it may be more connected to the idea that she really dislikes others infantilizing her and saying they know whats best for her, than her trying to impress him. Getting completely on board with the scheme may be part of her way of stopping Jimmy from going down that road of breaking up with her "for her own good".

Skialar M

i mean, i don’t even think S6 kim wants to “ruin howard’s life”. in this episode she calls it, “a career setback for one lawyer”. she’s being short-sighted. you said yourself in your own comment that she sees it as a “total robin hood situation”. so i just, idk, i will agree that she changed on some level of course…. but i think to some extent she has always been the same kim, and we (the audience) just underestimated what she was capable of, and so we found out the hard way like jimmy did. you say S1 kim wouldn’t dream of doing what S5-S6 kim dreams of doing. and i agree with you. but i think the main reason for that (besides the fact that her circumstances are completely different), is the fact that she is more risk-averse at the beginning of the show. like i said originally in my comment, i think that’s the biggest difference between kim then and kim now—she’s more willing to take the risk, because now she’s confident in her ability to get away with it. but as far as morals and ethics go, kim was coloring outside the lines all the way back in grade school, and the show made a point to illustrate that.

Kim targeting Howard is very personal and the money is just an excuse to go after him. She hates that Howard confronted her, she knows that being together with Jimmy is bad for her, so she wants to fire back at Howard to "teach him a lesson". Of course she needs a motive to get Jimmy on board and what better motive than money to do that?

Eric Wall

Yeah, Howard unwittingly hit the nail on the head when he tried to warn her. She’s been consistently making bad decisions, all completely revolving around Jimmy and trying to convince herself that she’s not on her own bad choice road. Having Howard, someone she already previously resents, call that spade a spade sets her off. They could’ve decided to do this about Sandpiper any time previous to this. They didn’t because they don’t care or need it right now that badly. They didn’t because the motivation is 100% hate for Howard and putting him in his place.

Eric Wall

I do think part of the reason is that she’s attempting to normalize the relationship with another scheme in a moment when Jimmy is actually close to some big picture clarity. But just because a decision is being influenced by a relationship to someone shouldn’t imply lack of agency in the first place. Kim seeing what Jimmy went through *did* play a role in her leaving the firm. Pro bono work is like Kim’s coping mechanism. The more she indulges the darker parts of herself, the more she has this urge to balance out the bad with some good. So I don’t think Howard is even technically wrong when he thinks “Jimmy had something to do that”. Jimmy did have something to do with that. It’s plain to see her insistence at keeping this relationship going is causing her to spiral down with him. But that’s still her choice. She didn’t just wake up married to a con artist. It was 100% her idea.

Preston Wurtz

We’re getting to the episodes I remember very vividly where I was the first time I saw them. This last season hits so hard and sticks with you, looking forward to the final stretch of this rewatch 👆👉

MarisoL

It's not but it's almost humorous how the more stuff is thrown at Nacho the more he is promoted, similarly to Hank.

Stanley Livingston

So funny hearing you say lalo looks like Pedro pascal and he plays his dad in the last of us! Haha so good
