Theoretically Werner can still cause problems for them because Lalo likely has a good deal of his information from the money wire store. Probably won’t amount to anything, but that’s more motivation for Gus to kill him is that Lalo knows he exists and is doing some work for him.

Maybe she mentioned it in her essay for some reason. the whole scene's format is people being introduced through their prestigious backgrounds without saying a word, it's not difficult to find 4.0 students in high school, the only 'selling point' any of these kids have is their history

a new study bible! posted:It's honestly not all that unrealistic. I had to go into the ceiling once to help someone unlock their office. Yeah, it's goofy how silent it was, but the dude is behind glass. You can totally go up right next to the wall then over and down. That woulda been great, could even use the counter and window edges to climb. Cause yeah the walls only come up a foot or two over the ceiling. What you can’t do is put any weight on the tiles or frame that supports them. Can’t navigate a building up there. It’s like when you walk in an attic and have to walk on the beams. But there are no beams. And the ceiling is a hundred times weaker. Ain’t no walkways or supports up there. Hvac ducts won’t support oh either. Source: 1,000 hours running cabling above drop ceilings, and getting super pissed off when I accidentally bump the ceiling and break it in three places.

after watching gale be so excited to become a meth kingpin i no longer have any sympathy for him getting shot in the head in BB. In BB he's just this adorable nerd who is also kind of interested in cooking meth for some cash. In this one he comes off as being really, really into cooking meth regardless.

Pretty sure in BB he told Walter he was doing it as a libertarian “gently caress you” to the man.

Annabel Pee posted:One bit that comes to mind of Walt being a really bad liar is in S2 I think when Walt tells Skylar the second phone was just an alarm he set on his normal one or something, she doesn't buy it for one second. Which comes after a long period of Walt constantly acting in small suspicious ways and building up a gigantic, delicately balanced structure of deception that not even the greatest liar could have sustained indefinitely. It's not that it wasn't a good lie. It was a great lie, actually. It's just that it wasn't a good enough lie to fool Skyler. Walt really was good at what he did. There's no way around that.

Surprised no one else has thought of this yet - in the flash forward scene where Saul gives Francesca a number for a lawyer with instructions to "say Jimmy sent you", that we all assumed was Kim at first .... maybe it's actually Kristie the shoplifter, and further maybe she will get Gene out of trouble further down the line?

I don't think Lalo knows for sure it's a secret underground bunker. Werner told him they were ready to pour a concrete wall. That could be anywhere.

Maybe not underground bunker, but he definitely knows Gus is secretly building something related to his REAL business. Why else would he be using his criminal empire employees to track down this German engineer? If Gus were just building a new Pollos Hermanos location, he has ample legal means to do so.b1

Baronjutter posted:I think it was more Gus accurately understanding that Mike had become close with Werner and probably didn't want to kill him, and was probably a tiny bit disappointed at mike. Gus doesn't just straight up kill every valuable asset that disappoints him in the slightest, only when he needs to. If anything, he uses failings as leverage to get more out of a person (like poor Nacho) I like your read here.

A Mercedes stops alongside the crawling sacrificial procession. Two men exit the car; both wear well-cut suits and cowboy boots tipped with silver skulls. They look so alike, they might be brothers, even twins, but we will come to know them as "the Cousins." They too begin to crawl with the others. The procession winds to a candlelit shrine to Santa Muerte, a skulled Mexican deity representing death. The two men rise to their feet. One makes an offering; the other pins something to the shrine: a crude sketch of Heisenberg.

Baronjutter posted:I don't know why they bothered to write Nacho and his plot into the show only to seemingly ignore/sideline him entirely. Nacho's story is good, and it's neat because it's largely been told without words. He doesn't have anyone to really talk to, but we know exactly what's up, post-Salamanca: He wants out. Between Gus and the Salamancas, he just wants out. But he's got to basically run the Salamanca operation in New Mexico. He spends all his earnings like the crime boss he's been set up as- a huge house, flashy red car, women- so no one suspects what he's up to. But he's been slowly skimming and saving up this last year. He's made solid progress to stockpiling enough to escape with his father and a pile of cash to start new lives. He's brutal to the people below him because he'll be blamed if the revenue stream looks fishy, and the last thing he wants is a careful look at the money flow, because the only way he's going to get away is putting away a bit at a time. But then here comes Lalo, who's "good with numbers". Despite his best efforts Nacho is suspected. How is he going to get out of this one? That's really his season cliffhanger, even though it happened two episodes ago. It's really a good plot, and absolutely none of it was explained, and I kind of like that. I also can't really blame them for putting it on the back burner while Jimmy becomes Saul and Mike becomes Mike. They weren't at a point where there was going to be progress on that front, so it just kind of faded away in the last couple episodes. I'm anxiously looking forward to where it goes, and they clearly haven't forgotten about him.

Based on what we know from BB, Lalo is still alive, and Nacho might not be, as they are definitely enemies later on. So if Mike is Lalo's rival, he won't be "beating" or killing him. Unless they do it during BB era.
