I can’t imagine Vince kept a straight face listening to this pitch. Walt Jr., would’ve been better off pitching this to Courtney Kemp...he could be Tariq’s connect in a show about to two sons nobody could stand. :mjlol:

That's what I'm thinking but the way Saul mentioned Lalo in "BB" it seems as if he's still alive. Or the kidnappers (who turned out to be Walt and Jesse, obviously) were Lalo's goons.

Obviously when they wrote that scene in "BB" they had no idea who Lalo was but it's going to be interesting to see how they develop that plot thread.

It wouldn't work because after Gus kills Eladio and goes to the nursing home to rub it in Hector's face he mentions(I'm paraphrasing) that Jesse killed the last Salamanca and the name will die with Hector. So Lalo has to be dead by that point.

Yeah that's why I said "or they were Lalo's goons". Saul seems to think Lalo is still alive in "BB", for whatever reason.

Is Lalo a Salamanca? Don't know if that was ever mentioned. Makes me think how deep season 5 and more so 6, will go. The end can't be when Saul meets Walt cuz they got the whole aftermath thing with the Cinnabon and Nebraska. I also think we see Jesse before Walt since he was rolling with Crazy 8 from before BB. Tricky part about Lalo is that he in Hector crew and Saul/Jimmy mostly just deals with Mike and Gus. Don't know if any interactions between Jimmy and Héctor. Unless they crossed paths or he got introduced to Nacho and Lalo somehow. Something tells me they get caught up in something and Nacho hits up Mike and then Saul connects them with that guy who makes them disappear. Then something happens to one of them and Saul has that worry and that's why he questioned if one of them sent Walt and Jesse.

I'd have to look up who said it but he's been referring to as "a new Salamanca" in various interviews with the writers, actors, etc.

It's been said that this season will definitely focus on Gene, and there will be scenes after and during "BB". To what extent, they didn't say.

I bet mike kills lalo
if so then Saul must've never heard about it if he mentions him and Nacho in BB.



Hank is back.


is that Lalo and Bolsa with Gus sitting at the table in the beginning? Makes me think Lalo tried to meet with them to squash beef or to discuss business. Also the scene with Hank, he's putting his badge up on the glass and that looks like the glass in the courthouse with that black woman. Remember the one who Jimmy was trying to get some documents from or a meeting scheduled? I just saw the scene recently but forgot what it was for. He had that one female assistant with him. I'm guessing Hank is gonna be there to acquire documents for a case or to get information on Jimmy. I heard Gomez back too. Who else could we be missing other than the Whites and Jesse and Marie?

Kind of answered the question about Mike and Héctor earlier and why they didn't interact in BB. In season 3 when Mike goes to Gus about money and he puts Mike on with Lidia, Gus tells Mike that it's best that Héctor don't know they doing business together. So that explains why there was no interaction between Mike and Héctor in BB. I'm at the season 3 finale bout to start how, then gotta hold on for a bit until season 4 released. Days will go by quick tho.

Don't know if Todd and his peoples made an appearance yet either. Can't recall. I know Saul knew of them but not sure how long before he introduced them to Walt and Jesse. I actually think Saul boy recommended them to Saul.
Saul didn’t know them, he knew the guy who ran pest control company and he’s the one who kinda introduced Todd to Walt. He didn’t really introduce them, Walt saw Todd’s chemistry book.

What?? When did Todd have a chemistry book? He didn’t anything about chemistry.

So yeah they wouldn't be needed in BCS. They won't fit the timeline until the two shows cross even then it won't matter.
