Andrea might be the closest.

You can probably get it through Amazon Prime. That's how I watched Season 5 before it made it to NetflixBenFiasco14 said:
Maybe a dumb question but is there anywhere to stream season 6 so far? I completely missed the premiere and everything since. Or am I stuck waiting until it comes to Netflix?

As an ardent viewer of BB I'm ashamed I have to confirm this but is Andrea Jesses girlfriend with the young son who almost died of ricin poisoning?
Forgot that Jimmy didn't know Lalo was still alive. I didn't catch it on the first watch but when Lalo first appears in this scene, Jimmy's face looks like he's seen a ghost and I think he mumbles "How?" Just excellent acting all around. What an episode.Complete Idiot said:
I'm sure this video will be taken down soon, but the final scene from last night. I noticed a small detail on a rewatch - when Howard says "I'm going to be OK", both Jimmy and Kim's shoulders drop as if in relief. Small detail, nice acting.
It's still hard to read Kim - face seems pleased when Howard says he embarrassed himself, a hint of concern when Howard says he's having marital problems, not really seeming to be hurt when called a sociopath.
So what's next? It's hard to believe the writers would kill off the Kim character, and I would guess that would irreparably harm Jimmy to the point of not being able to go through the motions in the Breaking Bad timeline. I feel Kim will choose to be gone, or be made to be "gone" in some other way.
Yes, the most innocent main character. Andrea was not a criminal, but she made a poor choice by associating with Jesse.Complete Idiot said:

Yes, nice writing, nice acting. I was wondering how Jimmy and Kim, as characters, could have played that differently and how Lalo was registering their reaction to seeing him. You might think the only way they might know Lalo was allegedly did was through Fring and Fring's crew, but the District Attorney also told Kim that Lalo was dead. So it's reasonable that they would be shocked to see him, but what if they acted happy to see him alive versus terrified? What if they acted like they never heard he was dead? These are dumb questions since it would ruin a key scene in the entire canon, but just thinking about it as if it was real life.Hotdog Hamblin said:Forgot that Jimmy didn't know Lalo was still alive.

Is this a happily-ever-after for our partners in crime? It sure seems like it, as we cut to Jimmy and Kim sitting contentedly on the couch, drinking wine, and watching Born Yesterday. It's an interesting choice of film, a story about a naive, uncultured woman who makes bad choices because she doesn't know better until education and experience teach her that attaching yourself to the wrong man can be dangerous.

I know it's already been said, but the BB and BCS writers are head and shoulders above their peers. I can't even think of any show that comes close to the quality of writing.
Not only that but the silencer will mess up the ballistic stuffCapstone said:Ballistics wouldn't make that possible. Lalo was too far away for a self inflicted gunshot wound.bigjag19 said:
Leave the gun. Suicide. As drunk as he was it can be done.
My guess is buried under the lab is too obvious, and this show is never that, so...no idea.aTmAg said:
So how does the Lalo standoff end? And what does he expect to get out of Kim and Saul? I don't get what he expects to get out of them this time that he couldn't get out last time. Seems like a strange move on his part.
That Gus is doing his own thing without the consent of the cartel. As far as we know up to this point, he's only ever moved drugs for the cartel rather than manufacturing in ABQ.aTmAg said:Proof of what? That Gus has a bunch of muscle at the laundry?Tony Franklins Other Shoe said:
And wasn't that boom mike guy dressed up as random old man jogger getting his frisbee back from Saul?
I'm not going to mince on the timeline because obviously they were pushing it. Camera guy saying he needs just the right amount of time, Saul negotiating with the stand in.
Beautiful how they set up the Lalo nest at the beginning. So now Lalo has the tape for Don Eladio for "proof", I guess that gets buried with him later on. And he's stuck with Hector knowing he's avenging the Salamancas, but no way to communicate it.
Interesting because I see Jimmy as the Jesse and Kim as the Walt.larry culpepper said:
I think this also fulfills everyone's prediction that Kim turning the car around was the beginning of her end. If I had to predict now, I dont think Kim dies. But I think Howard's death is THE turning point for her, just like Todd shooting the kid after the train heist was the turning point for Jesse. Kim is BCS's Jesse.
She will feel immense guilt over this because she set the chain of events that led to Howard's murder. Then she will feel even more dirty when she and Jimmy have to cover it up. I'm not sure how her story will end but I think the Kim we always knew is done. She will leave Jimmy (and possibly Albuquerque) at the end to get away from this life of crime she became part of.
I can't remember the exact Mike quote but when he realized Kim was involved with Jimmy he was like "once she's in, she's in."

What an insulting comparison. At least compare them to Silicon Valley (though still a complete reduction. Succession is top notch)
