So I started watching Bojack again picking up where I left off at the beginning of season 2. Man this s*** is really good

Just watched the escape from LA episode and I never thought an animated show would make me feel a type of way

Lol people forgetting who Walt became in S4 and 5.

That motherfucker wasted everybody. Lalo couldn’t f*** with the genius - he literally helped a team that would go on to win a Noble Prize. That kind of acuity combined with criminality is unstoppable. Lalo would have f***ed Walt up in a 1v1 shootout or fistfight, yeah, but Walt would get the last laugh. Always did.

Anyone watched Peaky Blinders? Lalo and Mosley got too much in common

Edit: not to mention they have the same look

Found something really cool in the episode from last week, not this past one (just caught up so sorry if late)

Saul and Mike have their conversation about the roads they travel and the choices they made to end up on those roads. At the end of the scene, there’s a shot of Saul out on the sidewalk. What is neat about the shot is that at the end of the road/sidewalk you see two skateboarders on the corner getting their grind on.

This is symbolic and a callback to the first episode where Saul gets involved with those two skater kids and their car accident hustle. In this shot I’m referring to from last week’s episode, Saul is LITERALLY on the road where his choice from the first episode led him, his first choice that drove him to this point visibly behind him. Wow.

My roommate and I caught this and I’m blown away by the level of detail in this series.

Saul could believe lalo is still alive but there is no evidence to suggest that he is.
He would have likely been involved in some capacity in BB Era.

And before killing Hector, Gus was gloating about the bloodline ending with him.

Right but it makes no sense for Saul to still be worried about Lalo in that point of the timeline without justification. Considering how desperate Saul was to clarify with Mike what Lalo's fate is, I cant see him just idly sitting by content with the idea that Lalo might be alive or dead. He knows that as long as Lalo is out there, he's a potential target.

In the BB era we're introduced to Gus very late in season 2 and its only really a few episodes into season 3 that he starts to become a key player overlapping with Walt and Jesse. Rightfully so we're not really shown the machinations of the Gus vs cartel side of things, just Walt's pov.

All we really know is that Gus has dominion north of the border, the cartel are solely distributing through him, and they're not exactly happy about the terms of this deal. Meanwhile, Gus is plotting to eradicate them completely and he will.

Gus gloats about ending the bloodine with Hector correct. But thats towards the end of season 4. Saul's out in the desert in s02e08. and Gus is introduced near the end of season 3. There are a lot of gaps for things to potentially happen offscreen between Gus and the cartel that we had no reason to see in BB. Whether this will involve Lalo/Nacho etc is undetermined.

Another interesting thing is that Gus' superlab remains incomplete until some point in 2008. A long time for him to delay the essential underpinning of his takeover scheme. Currently in BCS its delayed because of Lalo's presence. But what can delay it another 4 years if not more Lalo shenanigans.

Good point. but would they really kill off Lalo off screen if this is the case?

I can’t see them having lalo live by the end of season 6

For all we know Saul, Kim and Nacho are in a desperate scenario where they’re the only ones who know lalo is alive for a good while and clearly Saul wouldn’t know the outcome when Mike & Gus finally get wind of him being alive.

How much (if anything more) would they really show us of BB Era in BCS? and on the point of Gus’s superlab delays i believe finding a reliable replacement team to finish the job could take some time.

All speculation.

I mean yeah I agree it's a strange one how they make sense of this timeline. I have no doubt they'll be aware of it, and have full faith they can make it fit.

Maybe Lalo gets reckless going for revenge and ends up in prison serving life? Maybe Nacho tips off the DEA through Krazy 8 as to his location. Saul thinks Lalo might assume it was his doing and is paranoid Lalo has sent guys after him? Who knows

I dont expect the timelines to overlap too much, but I dont think they would have introduced the Krazy 8 DEA connection, mentioned Tuco's prison sentence ending soon, brought in Hank and Gomie, or shown characters like Francesca and that flash forward if it wasnt for a reason. Its clear they want us to be aware of the timelines converging and the ramifications of the current plotline, at least to some extent.

Agreed that the superlab delays might just be entirely explainable via logistics.

Anyone else feeling quite uneasy and simultaneously blown away by Kim’s character development. Did you notice how her face changed when she said “wouldn’t I” to Jimmy about ruining Howard and how it was almost like her mask slipped off then back on for a moment. Got me thinking about whether she is “breaking bad” or has been playing a role the entire time (like how psychopaths do when they essentially perform and present a false face to everyone around them in order to achieve their goals)

They’re definitely doing something interesting with this character, and it’s f***ing me up. Jimmy looked terrified and desperate to find the old Kim when she started fantasising about ruining Howard.

Absolutely compelling television and just what I have come to expect from this unbelievably amazing writers.

Guys. As amazing as Lalo is and while you are all currently marvelling at his almost supernatural criminal prowess, never forget that this guy:

Would have eventually f***ed him up.

Heisenberg really is the GOAT villain.

We’re on the right track. I very much agree everything that has been set up this season will have a very significant purpose in 6

lalo could end up in prison serving life.
i’m pretty sure Gus would catch wind of this
the catch is that he couldn’t do anything to him in prison since the cartel would assume he made a move against lalo in prison

So maybe it’s just that lalo dies while serving life through the death sentence

If that does end up being his fate
