I think that's what has Gus so scared. Gus has always been able to stay 3 steps ahead of everybody (the DEA, Walt, the cartel, etc.), but Lalo is playing 4-D chess. Unpredictability is Gus's biggest fear, and it's what ultimately led to his death.

Lalo ruthless as fukk
My man went all the way to Germany

Lady
Kim/Rhea is on the very short list of white women I like. Stellar character and actress. I really hope she makes it out alive.
I'm just now starting season 6, just watched first 2 episodes. Gonna work my way through the thread as I watch, so some of the shyt I say is gonna be way outdated or even look stupid but I don't care. Not gonna read any replies until I catch up.
Remind me what the worst shyt he did was cause I honestly can't even remember anymore.
Yeah that was my assumption, gotta be Hamlin's man following him. I think Kim going to jail in the end, or something equally bad. Gonna be crazy to see how she gets hemmed up but slippin' jimmy still practicing.
Nah, the way she emphasized how long it took his man to do the dental work, it was implied he full-on copied all of Lalo's shyt. He doesn't have to make the teeth look identical, just has to put all the fillings in the right spots and shyt.
I'm pretty sure not even the cartel knows he's alive, only Hector (and now Gus).
Nah, that shyt was on purpose. First off, Slippin' Jimmy doesn't make amateur mistakes like that, a conman always keeps all his lies in a line. Second, did you see how he claimed he was rushing to a hearing, but then just went into an empty courtroom? And he wasn't all pissed off at himself like he gets when something goes really wrong? That encounter with Lalo shook him and he's trying to get the cops on Lalo's ass because he doesn't want that evil out there free and possibly knocking on the door again.

Saul can't even keep his shyt straight - the mention of Lalo's actual name had the prosecutor like

Can’t wait to see how this Lalo plot ends. I’m thinking Gus kills him without anyone knowing about it. In BB, Saul thinks he’s still alive (which also means he must find out likely either from Kim or from the DA’s office), but Gus wouldn’t resume construction of the lab until he knew Lalo was dead. Gus is still in good graces with the cartel in BB, so I’m guessing the Salamancas (aside from Hector, of course) never find out Lalo survived the attack at his house.

How did Lalo know about Werner? 
Cats were shytting on last week’s ep, but I thought this one was the weakest of the entire show.

How did Lalo know about Werner?
The murder that got Lalo in trouble was for when he murdered that guy in the money sending place (?) as he was trying to follow Mike who was trying to track down Werner. He eventually figures out he’s at that resort place, the same place he mentions in this episode to Werner’s wife…that’s how he knew she’d bite when he mentioned it to the bartender.
That kidnapping scene is one of my favorites of the entire series. Saul Goodman is the only tv/movie character I've ever seen who gets taken & ends up going home with his kidnappers' money in his pocket.

I agree with everyone saying that Gus's plan was flawed. He should have just had the team kill Nacho when he let them in. From his morality standpoint there was no reason not to.
Saul isn't the kind of person who would talk about her regardless of her fate, at least not to Walt. When did we ever see Saul get personal and honest with clients, especially about other people in his life?
Kim ain't gonna be in the BB world, something terrible will happen to her at the end of BCS, but even if she was in the BB world there's no particular reason we would have seen her.
I mean, it's not like he has a lot of available facial expressions lol.
I feel like it makes the most sense for Lalo to get got on some sort of side shyt, rather than a direct Gus plot. Either Mike takes him out somehow in an accidental interaction or some other random shyt. But yeah, maybe they have Gus take him out just to build up the Gus legend and turn him into the mastermind he was in BB.
GOAT option would be if he reconnects with Jimmy in order to try to get at Gus somehow, Jimmy pulls a con and sets him up for the cops somehow leading to Hank taking him out.

Nacho's death speech was fukking fire. I desperately wanted him to live but what a way to go out.
Straight up he was my single favorite character and favorite acting performance in the entire universe. Passes up Gus and Mike in likeability.
But he has protection for his father, which is the only thing he ever wanted. He's a fukking mid-level cartel man, he was never going to have a long lifespan anyway. He chose the top option for his father's safety.
He had zero reason to kill Bolsa, he had more beef with practically everyone else there than he had with Bolsa. If he kills any of the Salamancas then that just increases the chance they'll take out his family to settle accounts, if he kills Gus or Gus's men that increases the chance they don't honor his deal. He had no reason to do anything other than cement his deal with Gus, pull out his Salamanca victory card ("I did that to you!"), and then end shyt the quickest way possible.
Except to plant drugs on the cartel.
I don't see it. Nacho's father was hardly even in the picture, he was a side thought to them. With nacho out of there I figure they move on to bigger things, they got Gus to focus on.
They could use Lalo going after Nacho's dad as the excuse for Mike to take Nacho out, but that feels too obvious and formulaic for this show.
I dunno, he has mad street smarts but he's missing a LOT of true lawyer skills and demeanor. If he played it straight I think he could have a decent career but he'd never be a big shot outside of just doubling down on the whole personal injury / class action suits lane he started going down in the beginning. He's best with the billboards and the cheesy commercials, not in a courtroom or working with actual big money clients.
Can y'all explain what meeting you're talking about that would incriminate her? I could be forgetting, but when she met Lalo as Lalo there's no way anyone in law enforcement would ever know about that. And when she met Lalo under his fake identity there's no way to prove she knew who he really was. Right?
Lalo running up on Gene at the end would be fukking crazy, and I wish y'all hadn't come up with that if it's true cause I never would have seen it coming and now it won't surprise me. On the other hand I won't really like it cause Lalo would have had years of Saul in plain sight in ABQ to go after him, so they're gonna have to come up with some huge stretch of an excuse for Lalo to have done nothing to Jimmy all those years in ABQ and then somehow find him in hiding in Kansas or wherever.
"Alphas" die every day b. Being a drug dealer with a lot of aggression doesn't exactly guarantee you an extended lifespan.
I agreed when I read this but now…
Nacho will go down as one of the GOAT characters in this universe in my opinion.

Poor mike he’ll never get to use that sniper rifle.

Or he continues to play it smart and runs up on Gene at the finale. Those are my two scenarios
