iamsosmrt posted:In hindsight, it probably would've made a lot more sense for Gus to have made a Los Pollos Hermanos factory/depot instead of a tangential industrial laundromat. I have no idea what meth production smells like, but I'd assume that processing chickens and all of their fixings would produce very strong smells anyway. It probably wouldn't even have had necessitated such shadiness in digging up the underground lab. They could even have justified a real basement while building a secret extra space for the lab itself. If its part of a facility used to store livestock, then the addition would have to reviewedand approved by the FDA. They could also theoretically do an inspection of the property with any notice.

Doesn’t Lalo have plot armor necessarily until like, the penultimate episode? If they kill him too early the entire cartel conflict is resolved because we know the fates of the remaining players on that side of things. Unless they introduce a new cartel big bad, but that would be silly this late in the game.

anime was right posted:saul doesnt really seem "happy" in breaking bad. How so? When we first meet him he's shooting wacky commercials, bouncing around the police station kicking cops out of interrogation rooms and accusing Badger of serial masturbation. He actively pursues Walt to let him launder all his meth money and seems perfectly OK with it all until poo poo goes off the rails towards the end of season 3. I'm just saying he doesn't seem like a guy who saw the love of his life murdered by a drug cartel 20 months earlier. fullroundaction posted:Doesn’t Lalo have plot armor necessarily until like, the penultimate episode?

And they've got Checkov's Gun down in the lab that has to get used somehow. He's not going to get axed by some bit player in Germany, but if they kill him off in the next episode that just gives them the time to cover D-Day fallout and whatever present day Gene stuff is coming.

Jimmy also has to somehow think Lalo is still coming to kill him (possibly) and that Nacho's involved.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I don't think they'll kill off Lalo, Kim *and* Howard. If they're going to do an episode or two in Cinnabon world then they'd have to kill one of them off every other episode and that would be a huge change of pace. Plus it'd feel super cheap to tie up every pre BB loose end with "welp, guess they died!" gently caress Howard, Marry Kim, Kill Lalo

my dumb guess is kim will vanish if only because it will make the whole "jimmy getting into trouble with walt" -> "jimmy lives in omaha" thing easier as a standalone story. kim gets a full arc to her vanishing, then we get couple fast forward episodes of the aftermath of saul/walt where at the end we see his side of the story and he calls the cleaner. after that, we have jimmy cleaning up his own personal arc rather than the breaking bad mess. 100% odds we get a really fun montage of sauls life after kim vanishes.

I agree. If Kim is around during Breaking Bad then you basically have to go over the events of Breaking Bad from her perspective, which means you have to explain a lot that would be redundant for fans who've already seen Breaking Bad. If Kim skips town ahead of time, the Breaking Bad story can be reduced to "Saul and Mike's criminal dealings were always going to catch up with them eventually, and in 2008 that's what happened, now Mike is dead and Saul is in criminal witness protection."

Maybe it turns out the guys that happen to recognize Gene as Saul are actually a signal from Kim that she's finally found him. Saul remembers that she hinted this would be the signal and after a tearful reunion they walk off into the sunset hand in hand as he throws off the Cinnabon visor and they put on outfits for their next con as a happy couple.

"You know what comes next." And then in the next episode we get a cut of those home removers pulling a painting off of Saul's wall to reveal another series of post-it notes detailing the past four years of Saul's life, including the big ruse of setting someone up to become the new meth kingpin to kill Gus. We see Gene in Omaha rip off a fake moustache as he comes home where Kim is waiting, they high-five over a job well done and finger-guns as credits roll.

Lalo is alive during Breaking Bad, unknown to anyone in the US as he’s serving out a prison sentence for murder in Germany under a false identity Kim owns a small number of Subway franchises in Oregon under a false identity, having gotten a shitload of botox and lip fillers and dying her hair black Walt got cancer after inhaling a bunch of kicked up dust from those smoke detectors Saul dumped outside the old guy’s house while out for a walk to clear his head after work one day

After a chance encounter with Wendy where they realize they're not that different after all, Howard becomes a tireless advocate for sex workers' rights. He's not in BB because he's busy traveling the United States providing world class pro bono representation to the most marginalized people in society.

Saul and Walter await their fates as both have signed on for the vacuum service. Soon after Saul declared that things are over once and for all, they're each taken for their extraction by separate people. "Cinnabon in Omaha, Jimmy? Isn't that a bit on the nose?" "I've been a little hysterical, what with all the poo poo hitting the fan. Cut me a little slack please?" "Mike was right, I am made of sterner stuff, but it's ok because I've got you now." "So where am I starting my new life until you're ready?" Kim looks at Jimmy with tender eyes and smiles as she starts tapping her index finger on her nose. "Huh, well I'm glad you took this gig, who knew that vacuum sales would fit you better than lawyer. Thank God for that black book. What's my new name anyway?" "Gene." "That's hosed up." Kim takes off her Robert Forrester mask. "Can't have you slippin' into another woman's heart, even if it's Omaha"

Didn't they say something like that there will be a Cranston and Paul cameo during this last season? Maybe the fast forward part will include some Breaking Bad-era retcon/exposition scenes to set up the last episodes with Gene, Kim, Lalo and Howard?

My hope for this is going to be something really stupid, like they'll have Gene in a waiting room somewhere and in the background will be a Made For TV dramatization of the Walter White case playing, just a real low budget reshoot of the first few scenes of breaking bad or something and someone gets to quip that it's weird they got a sitcom dad to play the role of a drug kingpin, but he really brings that monster to life.

The dream is that they do something so mind blowing in the finale that it completely recontextualizes the entirety of BB. A true holy poo poo moment for the ages. However, I know that’s not exactly a realistic thing to do, so instead I’d like them to do something that makes the BCS/BB canon/continuity forever irreconcilable, and all of us nerds can just die mad.
