I think Kim survives because if something terrible happened to her, it would crush Jimmy and “Saul” wouldn’t be the comic relief we see on Breaking Bad.

“Going all the way to 11pm”

I think our guide on AMC through Fubo shows it going to 11:30, but am not positive.

[silent_jonny]

Of course, all the actors are getting a bit long in the tooth, particularly since they're way older than the characters they're playing. Requires a bit of suspension of disbelief.

Yeah :) I won't spoil it if you've haven't seen it yet, but a character in El Camino is considerably fatter than he was on BB, and we're not suppose to notice?

[MayflowerMadam]

“I think Kim survives”

I agree. I just think they have an extreme breakup and go their separate ways.

[TomServo]

Yeah. Todd got huge.

[silent_jonny]

Dang you’re right. It is 11:30. Two and a half hours! There’s no way I’ll make that, unless the show is unusually fast paced in these first episodes.

[MayflowerMadam]

Maybe Kim marries Howard. LOL!

[MayflowerMadam]

Probably LOADED with commercials.

[silent_jonny]

And who is that Lalo look-alike in the promo?

Or is that Lalo?

[silent_jonny]

Color in black and white!

[Trillian]

I don’t have that either. I’ve only seen seasons 1-4.

[silent_jonny]

Wait ... this can’t be Saul/Gene’s closet. It’s too tasteful.

[Drew68]

I won't spoil it if you've haven't seen it yet, but a character in El Camino is considerably fatter than he was on BB, and we're not suppose to notice?

Yeah, I noticed and it was very strange. He was practically a kid in BB but certainly not in El Camino.

Weird seeing Hank and Gomez pop up in Season 5 looking definitely older as well but they quickly fell right back into character.

[silent_jonny]

Close up of the HG Wells’ Time Machine. Implying this is a huge flash forward?

[silent_jonny]

Okay, I take back what I said about tasteful clothes.

The sign said: SAUL GOODMAN & SON?

[MayflowerMadam]

It’s Lalo, sporting a new hairdo, I think.

[silent_jonny]

Well ...

That was a lot to unpack.

It looks like "Saul" not only reemerged but became wildly successful??

[llevrok]

These shows should be offered online for subscription without requiring tv or cable.

And manditory first year law school watching too

[silent_jonny]

That ZZ Top guy ... I think that’s the Lalo lookalike from the promo.

[ElkGroveDan]

Do they ever say how the assassins were able to get a call to Nacho in the final episode of season 5 while he’s at Lalo’s compound in Chihuahua? Mike and Gus had just finished dsicussing how there was no service down there and they’d have to find a away to contact Varga. Then boom, Nacho gets the call while his phone is reading NO SERVICE. I’m sure there’s technology that can boost or repeat a cell signal from far off, but none of that was ever mentioned in the show.
