Better Call Saul 5x10 Full Reaction

Lola: "we watch the Expance after this and they're in space" well... there's a little surprise waiting for you in the first episode ;)

I don’t know how the Howard scam will play out but I believe it will lead to Kim/Jimmy splitting up. However, I don’t think they’ll completely lose contact. I think Kim will accomplish her goal of opening a pro-bono office and Jimmy will send her all the clients he gets that he considers good people and worthy of a lawyer that actually cares about them. When Jimmy tells Francesca to call a law firm and “tell them Jimmy sent you” he’s referring to Kim’s pro bono practice.

I'll repost my theories (that got deleted) later but in the meantime does anyone want to know some possible (minor, may or may not mean anything) season 6 spoilers?

Reading some comments here today has made me realize there are many connections to the Germans in this show than I firstly realized. Put aside Gus and his German employees and the miners, put aside Walter and Heisenberg (named after Werner Heisenberg, a prominent Scientist in the World War 2 / Cold War era). Werner Heisenberg the Scientist shares the same first name as Werner Ziegler. "Ice Station Zebra Associates" the tax evasion company that Saul uses, the name is based from a 1963 novel about the Cold War. Kim Wexlers name, the definition of Wexler from Google is the following "The roots of the distinguished German surname Wexler can be traced back to the state of Bavaria. The name is derived from the Low German word "Wesseler," meaning "money changer" The "Nazis" that were used in Breaking Bad as Walters (Heisenberg) hitmen for a while. Mike Ehrmantraut's last name to add onto it. Kim Wexlers character car is a German Audi. Hank Schraders brewing company name "Schraderbrau" (I can't do the accented letter) Gales signing video tape from a German song in English. Gus final scene with Hector turns out that the background music was by a German artist. That final Showdown of Gus and Hector, the song was called "Goodbye" by a German Electro Musician called Apparat. German, German, GERMAN!

This is completely random and out there, but I really hope we can see a scene with Skinny Pete and Tuco since Skinny Pete mentioned in Breaking Bad that he spent time with Tuco inside - that way we can get our Skinny Pete cameo and get another Tuco scene :3 #season6

Dude wtf I literally just spent the last 20 minutes writing a LONG comment and it seems to have disappeared? Whyyyyyyyy

Literally nobody I know watches this show, so I subscribed to this Patreon because it was the first time I was able to hear other people's thoughts about it as I watched. I've always thought Patreons were where creepy lonely dudes go to stalk, and while I still think that's often very true, it was fun re-watching this show with y'all. So thanks. For theories, there's a ton out there but I always come back to one thing: Jimmy goes to Omaha, Nebraska. Kim is from Nebraska. Whatever happens next season, Kim is the love of Jimmy's life. So either he goes there hoping to find her....or she's dead and living where she grew up will have special meaning. Here's to hoping for cameos from Badger, Skinny Pete, Walt, and Jesse next season. I can't believe I now like this show more than Breaking Bad. But looking back, I never really liked Walter or Skylar or their relationship. Walter caused so many innocent people to be killed, and as you always mention, he fucking killed Mike for no reason. Rewatching BB episodes just makes me hate Walter more and more. While the action/plot of Breaking Bad might be more exciting, the characters and relationships in this show are incredible and I love them all.

So, my biggest question about season 6 is how they will catch us up to the Breaking Bad timeline (no doubt a spectacular montage or two will be involved). This episode takes place in early June 2004, Breaking Bad's first episode takes place in September 2008, and Saul doesn't appear until December of that year. That means we're still 4.5 years away from when we meet Saul in BB. The entirety of BCS so far has spanned from May 2002 to June 2004, which means season 6 is going to span more than twice the amount of time than the entire show has up to this point. This leads me to believe there is going to be a pretty substantial time jump between parts 1 and 2. Not to mention the Gene storyline that needs wrapping up as well on top of that, the writers definitely have their plates full. I know they'll pull it off, but I am very curious about how they're going to do it. If anybody else has thoughts on this I'd love to hear!

I know this is an unpopular theory, but now is a good time to bring it up again. Note, this is far fetching stuff, and highly disputed online. I don't hope for this outcome, but I do fear that Jimmy might be Kims "big whale", meaning, the long con. In this episode, she focused heavily on Jimmy's fund he will get from the Sandpiper case, and being a married couple now - this opens a possibility of Jimmy being ripped off. Kim mentioned twice in this episode "you" instead of "we", whereas Jimmy was more about "we / us" - "We get 20% of that" Jimmy corrects Kim. A few episodes earlier, the Judge stopped and mentioned that Kim had no middle name, and then Huel captures a picture of their marriage with a disposable camera (disposable marriage). We saw in that same episode as well that Kim switched out some paper in the background (which people disputed previously, but again please go re-watch that scene). I can go on and on with random little things that Kim does that can raise questions, but they can be pretty far fetched. I really hope that this isn't the case, I would hope that Kim ends up running the Ice Station Zebra Associates that she and Jimmy created before the Bar Scams, and processes all of Saul's dirty money from Breaking Bad (that's my hope), but just thought I'd throw out the other Kim angle going on.

Kim Wexler officialy has gotten her breaking bad moment

The BCS reactions have been my favourite out of all the reactions so far, both for the girls and for all of the patrons as well. Very few people I know IRL watch the show, and those who tried it never got past season 3 because they found it boring. So, having dealt with imposter syndrome for so long for loving this show as much as I do, I'm so so grateful to have found a community that can recognise BCS for what it is; a worthy competetitor to the mantle of quality held by Breaking Bad, and drama television in general. Finally, I've found people who understand why I'd take a bullet for Kim Fucking Wexler. I don't have any theories because until the last season airs I'm choosing to live out my head canon that Jimmy and Kim are reunited and finally say 'I love you' to each other as 'Something Stupid' plays over the credits.

It's very rare to go into the final season of a show with zero worries about the quality but this is definitely one of those few moments. With all of the covid delays they had much more time than usual to work on outlining the season before they even began shooting, so I can't even begin to image how fantastic those scripts are going to be. Plus with Vince back in the writers room for the first time since season 3 it's gonna be magical (and probably extremely, extremely painful).

I see two outcomes for Lalo, either he dies or he gets caught and sent to a supermax security prison where he has no contact with the outside world, like ADX Florence. There’s no other scenario where he just stays away from the events in BB. I think Nacho dies, I think that’s inevitable.

This is the moment Kim Wexler becomes Mrs. Goodman

We had a fun spoilery discussion back in Ep7 and a few people got in on the theories. Reposting now that you're caught up! That scene where Jimmy and Kim get married at the start of episode 7 has a lot of strange incidents which suggest there's something going on they're not telling us. Kim says 'looks that way' when he says they're getting married. And then she's shown looking over the forms in a weird way in the foreground when Huell is suggesting to Jimmy they go on a honeymoon. Then when they're saying the vows, the judge says 'hmm no middle name'. That seems like an odd line to keep in unless it has some significance. Theory is that Kim has setup a scam marriage of a sort. How or why she's doing this, or even whether Jimmy is in on it or not, is yet to be seen. But that marriage scene definitely left clues that not everything is as it seems.

Whatever Kim and Jimmy do to Howard will be so devastating that Howard will commit suicide by hanging himself in his closet. I've based this on two things. 1: We have seen how a setback can affect his mental health after Chuck died and 2: In BB after Walt had been kicked out by Skylar Saul visits him to give him a pep talk and before he leaves says "just promise me you won't hang yourself in your closet". Now in BB that comes across as an inappropriate joke but i think the writers will give it a darker meaning.

THAT is how you produce a drama!

Sadly, the gentleman who was the ‘vacuum cleaner specialist’, Robert Forster, died in 2019, so I don’t think they will be doing an ‘identity switch’ angle.. they could have a different actor help out.. but I think it’s less likely.

"It wasnt me! It was Ignacio!! Did Lalo send you? No Lalo?....Oh thank God!!" -Saul in BB. I have a feeling the end of this episode is what Saul was talking about. So sad I dont get to look forward to these every week!! Cant wait to watch season 6 with you!! Long Live Slippin Kimmy Goodman!! And RUN NACHO!! RUN!!!

Milena read your description and said "Poor Kim"

My theory is that Kim is going to go to the vacuum man to get disappeared. They always make a point to show us Jimmy meeting his BB associates, and they haven’t showed us him yet. The Lalo threat gets so bad that Jimmy asks the vet for a way to get Kim out. Gus will wind up killing Lallo, but Jimmy won’t ever know, because in 2x8 of BB, when Walt and Jesse hold a gun to Saul in the desert, he asks if Lalo sent them.

I already previously mentioned what I think will happen with Gene in a comment for the 5x01 reaction, but basically I'd argue Gene will surpass his fears (as was indicated by his renewed confidence after the phone call) and do something he has longed in the first flash forward of all in 1x01: scam the taxi driver by maybe framing him as a criminal to the police. I feel like something along those lines would contrast well with his way of living as a scared little man during the Gene timeline. Other than that, it could be anyone's guesses.
