If your talking about tonite we record it so we can fast forward through the commercials tomorrow

[Radix]

I fully anticipate the demise of Kim.

That will send Jimmy over the edge, and then we will have the real Saul story. Sort of like Two Face getting scarred or Lex Luther losing his hair. All Dark Side after that business.

[silent_jonny]

What a great scene with Nacho! And it cleared up a lot of confusion.

[TomServo]

Musta been just you. No problems on my end.

[silent_jonny]

Yeah it happened during the usual show title and theme. But I don’t believe we’ve seen this exact image before. It also seemed to freeze on something and the sound cut out.

[MayflowerMadam]

It sure did clear up some stuff.

[TomServo]

What the hell are Mike and Nacho up to?

[silent_jonny]

Don't like where this seems to be headed ...

Seemed like Mike was bracing himself for something unpleasant.

[TomServo]

Looks like Mike gave Nacho a trimmin’ to cover for something coming up.

[MayflowerMadam]

Oh, man...!

[silent_jonny]

wow

speechless.

[silent_jonny]

Honestly did not see that coming.

[TomServo]

Well, I wasn’t expecting that. Wow!!

[silent_jonny]

This will go down as a classic episode. Right up there with “Ozymandias”. Just wow.

[americas.best.days...]

Is it my imagination, or have I seen Mike set up for a sniper shot about three different times and never take the shot?

[silent_jonny]

Watching the opening again ... Did the blue flower represent the spot where Nacho died?

Maybe years in the future.

His zip-tie was lying near the shard of glass.

[americas.best.days...]

So cool that Nacho told old man Salamanca that he gave him the stroke!

That was great. Suck on that jello old man.

[TomServo]

The way it was discussed, Mike was gonna shoot the Salamancas down. Guess he decided the best thing was to simply check out.

[MayflowerMadam]

We’re trying to figure out why he had to die.

[Salvey]

we record it so we can fast forward through the commercials tomorrow

You'll also need to fast forward through some of the interminable, "artsy" scenes. The two-hour season premiere could have been tightened up with some good editing and squeezed into a riveting, one hour showing.
