I watched all five and a half seasons in three weeks to watch the last episodes live and my overriding thought has been that Howard Hamlin is Professor Jeremiah Laskey from Saved By the Bell The College Years and I can't get that out of my head.
Really glad I binged this, and then caught up in this thread. Agree if Kim dies we riot.
I've started with Breaking Bad at the end of april then watched El Camino and then chugged through Better Call Saul. Binging both series. Idk what I'm gonna do after this man.
Also, someone explain me.. But whyyyy are they treating Howard like that? Especially the Big Plan (but I know that was so that they could cash out). Like why. Throughout the series, to me atleast, he always to have been a nice guy, trying to lead the firm, trying to save his marriage and overall trying to become a better person. The vendetta between him and Saul, I've never fully gotten it since it was kinda always Chuck pulling the strings. No? Idk.

yeah, I have the same questions, I thought Howard was mostly acting in good faith and chuck was the problem.

No real vendetta. Just those two being scummy fucks to someone who didn't really do anything that bad by them. He was a little rude or condescending to Kim but he typically seemed to view Jimmy pretty highly, despite his issues.
It started as Jimmy deflecting his feelings and blame over Chuck's death so he just targets Howard. Kim was insulted by some of Howard's insinuations but he still didn't deserve all that they did to him. Plus he was right that Jimmy was pulling her down with him. They were totally in the wrong and out of proportion.

Yes exactly. Which is why I'm so conflicted with him/them being such jerks towards him. Like I get that he was projecting some blame towards him over Chuck, but like.. all the rest? For me, I think, just like with Jimmy, has always been that kind of person just like Jimmy. Which is why we got all those flashbacks during the series of her being a kid, learning stealing shit, having to deal with a parent who has a substance abuse issue. I think what happend was that we formed some picture of Kim in the first couple of episodes of what kind of person she is and due to her being a lawyer, we never have gotten to see 'that' side of her until Jimmy got her back into it a season or two later when they were a couple and they got drunk at that bar and played some rich people.
So are we to assume that Bob Odenkirk had his heart attack during the scene where he's trying to convince Kim not to leave? It's kinda hard to watch him stumbling out his words out of breath, knowing that Bob is actually minutes away from a real heart attack.
Yeah, I feel like them treating Howard like that was really weird and perhaps the biggest, most unexplainable gaffe that either of the series has had. I guess they're trying to connect the dots on how Saul became so bad in Breaking Bad, but they did plenty to Howard previously and the big plan seemed forced and out of place story wise. It's like they couldn't figure out what to do with Saul and Kim for a season or something. I didn't enjoy it at all and it didn't make sense. I also felt the same as many of you in that Howard didn't seem like a bad guy. AND he seemed apologetic for the things that he did do wrong. Just a lame break that really made me not like Kim in what has otherwise been a phenomenal show. And I'm of the opinion that Kim is going to die, for sure, and now I'm not so upset about it. Maybe that's why they did it. I really wish they wouldn't have had her go through with it even after Jimmy tried to call it off. I can't wait to see where Jimmy ends up present day in black and white, though.
I have no idea where Kim's character goes next, but I can't believe this episode would be the last. I REALLY don't think she's going to die, but she may have to use the vacuum cleaning service or something. I thought it was an earned scene and conclusion for Kim - we all want to say "Fuck it" sometimes and go down the forbidden road, and she realized living with the consequences was going to be way harder than she expected. I can relate to that (not that I've gotten someone killed but ya know). I also loved her speech to Jimmy.
Like I love what they did with this episode, showing that Saul still got the Slippin' Jimmy in him, but it's also quite depressing to watch him after the succesful heist once it dwells on him that he can never go back to that person.
I'm curious if these last 3 episodes will continue to be "Gene in Nebraska" or if they will at any point flash back to Albuquerque.
They definitely will flash back.
Aren’t we supposed to see Walt & Jesse at some point?
when i was brushing my teeth this morning i randomly got kind of emotional just thinking about walt and jessie popping back into the story.
god i remember pitching BB to my then girlfriend/now wife: "so it's a show about the dad from malcolm in the middle cooking meth". neither of us were particularly excited at the idea but we gave it a shot. it's been a wild ride!

I remember like a few years ago wanting to try a new show, so I popped up the pilot episode and it wasn't reallyyy my thing cause Walt was kind of akward and the color grading was so cliché, the shots were so mid-2000's etc. I'm glad I gave it another shot a few months ago. Wonder what they're gonna do with them. The writers already said that if they wanna include them, that it should serve atleast some purpose of the plot and not just some fan service. The time of episode 9 is still wayy of the start of Breaking Bad and a flashback in the future seems kind of weird, no?

Could be a weird dream kind of sequence. Or a news story on the anniversary of Walt getting caught or some junk.

This could be a complete misdirection but according to this, they will appear more than once. Skip to the 10 min mark.

But then what purpose does that have to the story?
I saw that video yesterday, which is why I'm wondering wtf they're gonna do with them.

I dunno. Just spitballing how they could use them without it being a flashback.
Maybe Gene is at work or at a bar or somewhere with a TV playing and the news story goes into the Walt/Jesse drug kingpin story and mentions a missing Saul Goodman and somebody recognizes him? Likely not that but I'm interested to see whatever they do.
I think it's logical there will be a flashback when it comes to incorporating Walt and Jesse. Just curious if it will be an entire episode or just a scene. Wondering if these last three episodes will mostly take place in past Albuquerque or present Omaha.
