Based on what Vince has said in the past, I'm expecting at least 1 entire episode in the post BB timeline.
Frankly, I thought we would have had more Gene scenes to date.
Maybe they’re saving them for full Gene eps

Spoiler: show
I’m a bit confused about Nacho’s safe and everything. So Mike planted that envelope but it told the Salamancas where to find Nacho. Why? If he’s trying to save Nacho, why plant information that will lead directly to his capture or death?

I think we’re past spoiler tags by now.

It’s a bit of a clumsy Batman gambit by Gus. Lull Nacho into false security by setting him up in a hotel and telling him to shoot anything that comes through his door. They set up Nacho’s apartment knowing Salamanca side would look for evidence. Salamancas go after Nacho who is ready to shoot on sight and gets killed in the process, thus tying a loose end to Gus’s involvement in the hit on Lalo.

May just be my DVR settings but I’m seeing that S6E1 is 157 minutes so I decided not to watch it tonight. I probably have the dumb thing set to record for an hour after the show ends or something.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think Jorge was the one who posted a Mr Show clip with Michael McKean in it. Maybe he was a lawyer or a creep in the sketch I can’t remember

Gald you guys caught the dental thing cause it went right over my head.

And while Jiimy and Kim's story is good, I was in deep on Nacho's situation that whole ep.

I was just going to post this once I finished the thread! It just makes no sense. If they captured him alive and tortured him he would give up Gus!

This show is just awesome though. I'm already sad this is the last season.
