Feels like Christmas morning as a kid!

Been waiting for this a long time! Reposting this here for those interested who might have missed it.

I have a dumb question. I’m a few seasons behind and I finally want to catch up, but I don’t want to get started only to have to be forced into a break. Is AMC airing all of the episodes in a single run or are they doing a mid season break that lasts over a year like they did with the last season of Breaking Bad?

 

[Walter Kittel]

Looking at the episode guide on IMDB for season six it appears that there will be a 7 week gap between May 23rd and July 11th. A break yes, but not a terribly long one.

- Walter.

Interesting, didn’t start with Gene

 

[TravisR]

For anyone curious and who doesn't remember something from years ago, the item that fell out of Saul's desk as it was being seized in the flash-forward was the stopper from a bottle of Zafiro Anejo tequila that he and Kim drank while running a con.

 

[WillG]

They should rename this show “Better Not Expect Much of Saul”

 

[TravisR]

For those watching too close: the name of the bank on the check that was printed up was Craddock Marine National which was Mike's bank on Breaking Bad and Mulder's bank on The X-Files.

Missed both of these last night due to being near-violently ill (stomach bug). Gonna try to catch up later today or tonight, here. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, like a Bond movie not starting with the gun barrel.

Overall loved having this back! Looking forward to more!

Note to self - Don't get on Kim Wexler's (aka The Stick) bad side.

- Walter.

So one thing I was kind of confused about, what was the deal with the whole duplicate safe thing?

I’m not 100%, but I think this was Fring’s camp’s way of leaving a clue for the Salamancas on where Nacho was. They put everything back into a new safe that was in the first plus the envelope that I presume was the location of where Nacho was staying. Though, Mike took the Manitoba ID for Nacho’s dad. I’m guessing that Mike will try to get to him before Fring decides to pull THAT trigger.

Yeah, I took that to be the idea too but unless he has a larger plan, Gus is playing an insanely dangerous game. If the Salamancas or the police get ahold of Nacho, they'll torture him until he gives up Gus as a co-conspirator and then the cartel will kill Gus too. I guess Gus was banking on the Salamancas simply killing Nacho rather than trying to capture him but Gus giving them the info on Nacho's location was an incredibly risky thing to do because it was possible for Nacho to have implicated Gus.


Also, that Ritchie Blackmore signed guitar that Jimmy got back in S3 or so was carted off by the feds at the beginning of the episode.

I'm just going to buy the series. Season by season.
And watch it as I go. In the end, I will have it all.

I thought the same thing, but it did start during the “birth” of the Gene persona. While all of Saul’s assets were being taken, thus killing the Saul persona, elsewhere Gene was being born.

So are you saying you think that sequence took place post-Breaking Bad? I was thinking it was pre-Breaking Bad. I don't think Saul would have had all of those possessions during the Breaking Bad era.

Yeah, it's after Breaking Bad or, more specifically, after Walt and Saul changed identities in the second to last episode of BB. I didn't think Saul Goodman was gold toilet rich but with the millions from the Mesa Verde settlement and all his work with Walt and other criminals, it makes sense that Saul was quite wealthy.

Surprising though not totally surprising ending
