Nacho is the best character. Kim is a psycho.

Do you guys think they'll have Mike get super into skin care in the last season of BCS?

Kim is amazing, but they didn’t reveal crucial parts of her backstory until last season. I bet once Joe catches up, he’ll see where Argo is coming from, but she’s very enigmatic for quite a stretch.

If we're going to expand this to include BB, then Kim isn't even top 5.

But I'm excited to see what happens and find out what makes her such a unanimously beloved character. That's exciting!

I want to elaborate on this and ask follow-up questions. But that's stuff for the BCS thread. It doesn't belong here.

We probably disagree on what "the one" is. JMM was my favorite

That's the most Breaking Bad-y the show's ever gotten, which is why I liked it but not as much as a lot of people. I found myself enjoying the episodes on either side of it more. But I do agree that season 5 is the best one so far
