This episode was Rhea Seehorn(Kim)'s directorial debut and I think she did a spectacular job! I loved the shots you mentioned - the car door shot, the Bill and Jimmy scene on the stairway, the long shot of Gus going through the tunnel. She has a good eye for composition and I really liked her use of natural lighting. By the way, the man who asks Jimmy if he's "Salamanca's guy" in the nail salon, Spooge, is the guy who gets his head crushed by the ATM in BB!
@@spencerwattamaniuk950 A good DP would probably have their own ideas, and if the relationship between the DP and the director is good there will be some back and forth thinking when it comes to shot planning. But when all is said and done, the job of the DP is to realize the vision of the director.
I like that the writers gave Jimmy a taste of his own medicine, everybody treating him with coldness and avoiding him is exactly what he put sweet old Irene through.
True, but also the fact that that happened while the criminal community showed him more love than ever is probably a big factor determining the path he'll take. Also kind of represents the "friend of the cartel" vs. "rat" choice.
WHAT KINDA ASSHOLE MOVES A CONE?! Top-tier irony there, love it. Awesome episode, though it felt really dang short. Can't believe it's a directorial debut, rhea killed it!
I like to think that she's the guy who knows another guy who knows another guy, can you imagine that? that Kim basically runs the entirety of Saul Goodman and Associates from the shadows and even makes it to be envolved with Gus´s drug business and other illegitimate scams all around ABQ. Now that would be an awesome out come for the character.
This was a great episode. A cool down episode. Some comedy relief in here. And seeing Kim and Mike meet and speak to one another was awesome. Going foward these episodes are going to get better and better. And great job by Rhea Seehorn directing this episode. Great video Brandon.
I love the mention of Taco Cabeza being near Saul's new building. That is the place where Jesse met to buy the gun to protect from Tuco. It's also mentioned when Jesse and Walt have there first meet up together in the junkyard with Tuco.
For the first 3ish seasons nobody would bat an eye...but now we understand. He's just another casualty of not just Jimmy, but the McGill family. (hopefully not in the literal sense)
I think you really have something with the Countdown, I haven't seen that theory anywhere else, and the 2 3's works for me (like rolling dice and getting 2 3's, or 2 3's on a domino). I guess it's a countdown to Walter White turning up, or something very major like a time jump forward to post Breaking Bad.
I think the countdown is how long we have until Kim is gone. There's going to be a falling out between Kim and Jimmy, with Jimmy pointing out how she is becoming like him and how he understands now what his brother meant about poisoning everyone around him, and he is going to push her away into doing the exact thing she made up to lure Clifford Main out for the Howard set up. She'll be helping people, the way she likes, and working for a prestigious company, and away from Saul. I am well aware I only called him Saul at the end. Because he has to remove Kim from his life before he corrupts her too far. And by accepting clients based on his cartel merit, he has finally gone all the way into Saul Goodman.
If I remember right, Gus had a clip-on tie in the wardrobe scene, which is unlike him as someone so prim and proper. Likely another safety precaution to avoid being strangled
one thing that really was cool about this episode was a call back to Breaking Bad when Walt goes over to Gus' house alone and in his mind wants to kill Gus, Walter parks his car across the street its late at night and there are no cars around so Walter feels very safe. As hes walking across the street Tyrese calls Walter and tells "dont" then hangs up. i always wondered how exactly they knew Walter was there apart from a tracker on his car but all this security set up with cameras etc explain it
I mean, Pollos had security cameras on it too. I just assumed Gus had his whole house decked out with security cameras because he's an extremely security-conscious guy. In fact, I always assumed that the house Gus invited Walt and Jesse to was just his "invite house," and I figured he's probably so security-conscious that he has another house he lives in most of the time.
This is a great and unforgettable season so far, but what I truly love about the story so far are those little callbacks to the first few seasons. Must be intentional, to be reminded of the world of those characters back in the first seasons, and how that world has changed since then for most of them. For example: - Some of the stuff in Jimmy’s house in the E1 cold open, like the photo with the Mesa Verde logo, the shoes he used to manipulate poor Irene and the Panavision hat when he used Saul as a business name for the first time, and ofcourse….the Zafiro Añejo bottle stopper - The return of the Kettlemans - The focus on Cliff Main, and the return of Erin - Jimmy dressing up as Howard, again! Remember the billboard? - Kim recognizing Mike from the parking booth at the courthouse. You can clearly see Mike reminiscing for a short bit after Kim said that - Probably our last visit to the nail salon, and the last time we hear ms. Nguyen saying ‘Cucumber water for customers only’ And maybe some other stuff I missed. I really hope we see more of that. For example: getting Daniel ‘Pryce’ Wormald and Dr. Caldera back in the picture.
When Howard says “I did have a dream” I was curious if we would see Howard’s dream due to how it was blurry as we see someone looking like Howard from behind, just walking only to have it be revealed to be Jimmy. He keeps getting closer and closer to the Saul Goodman we know from Breaking Bad. This show has been excellent and it’s sad it’s ending, but I’m sure they’ll end the show in a great way. Great reaction Brandon, have a great weekend!
Me too...but now that I think about it, I don't think they've ever shown is a dream sequence...or one of those "classic" moments when we see what a a character wants to do. BrBa/BCS Staff seem to wanna be as straight as possible with us lol.
@@8bitmagic In BrBa season 5 Jesse we are shown a dream sequence of sorts when Jesse imagines the type of work that makes him happy/feel fulfilled (woodworking) before cutting back to the line of work he ended up in (beaten meth slave for nazis)
@@toddjefferson8761 I was thinking more along the lines of those subversive "OH SHIT HES KILLING THIS GUY" just to snap back to a few moments before, and it was just in their head. But yeah, I did forget about that when writing the comment. Along with the meth hallucination in s1 I think they're the only examples of something not real being shown to us. Perfect use tho. But they're both so perfect because it has to do with the characters PERCEPTION of reality. Oh, AND Chuck when he went outside the first time.
Also notice on the scene with Jimmy and lawyer friend in the stairwell, their position on the stairs symbolize the current state of their moral standing. By the end of the scene, Jimmy was standing well below his colleague.
I think there've been either 38 or 39 BrBa characters showing up in BCS so far (depending on whether or not Joseph Prado is the same bloke who sells Walt the Chevy in 'Ozymandias'). Exciting!
honestly its the first time ive ever seen a camera shot like that and it was just so satisfying to watch for some reason haha, Rhea is such a good director
We finally see Mike's point of view of when he called Walt to tell him to go home when he was about to go knock on Gus's house and attempt to kill him, the writer's are so good at piecing Breaking Bad parts into this show, really makes me excited about how Walt and Jesse meeting Jimmy for the first time and why he said "it was Nacho"
And with this look into Gus's home life it makes me think, would Jesse have gotten away with poisoning him in his house???? I think we learned our answer to that question. Amazing seeing a further peak into his life. And that is the question, where's Lalo???
The reveal of the Gus surveillance team at his house was pretty sweet. It also plays into the episode when Walter first thought he was just going to walk up to his house and kill him. Mike called and said "Go home Walter," and there were no cars around or anything.
Prediction/theory: We're all seeing this Howard thing as mostly comedy even though we know it's wrong and they're setting it up to end with Howard probably killing himself to completely stop the comedy of it all.
I really hope this theory isn’t true, but, with what happened to Nacho, I could see it. It seems a bit too drastic though, and also I would hope Jimmy would feel traumatized after that if it came down to it. I feel like it wouldn’t be believable that he is his happy-go-lucky self in BrBa if he’s aware he’s near directly responsible for someone’s suicide
@@anezzzz Yeah, him and Chuck’s relationship was much different though. His disapproval of and willingness to berate and tear down Howard ultimately stems from his hatred of Chuck I think.
BSG S6 just came to Netflix, so I can finally comment. I live in Abq and laughed out loud at the reference to Java Joe's. Java Joe's is an actual place-- it's the location of Tuco's hideout in Breaking Bad.
The wait from Monday's air time to your reaction drives me crazy. I have a feeling they are writing Kim to be super overconfident and then she will have a major reckoning at some point. Also the intro of this episode really, really reminded me of LOST. That show made it a habit of having these WTF intros synced to some retro music.
Anyone really following the theme of Days of Wine and Roses that has been surrounding Jimmy and Kim. When they’re talking about how their scam went, it gave me a really happy before something horrible happens vibes. Also given the title, I was half expecting the bicycle riders to get hit by a car, hence Hit and Run. Also words cannot express how nervous I was about Jimmy and Kim when they stole Howard’s Car, and of course when the cone went missing. Jimmy seemed in the zone, but a bit anxious naturally.
I just thought of this and need to put it out there; since we have word that Jesse and Walt will appear this season, what if at some point Saul gets called to deal with a public masturbator as his client? I remembered that in BB, the first time he shows up, he ended up confusing his cases, and he thought Badger was the public masturbator. From there, Walt goes to his office to pretend to be Badger's uncle. etc. So, the public masturbator mention would be the sign that we are crossing into BB territory. From there, we might never even see Badger and just cut to when Walt and Jesse tie him up and threaten him, and he drops the Ignacio and Lalo line, but initially presented in a way that we don't know that's what's happening, the same way Saul would be experiencing it. I don't know, just something I just thought of. Needed to put that somwhere
Could be the dice at 05:50 represents the "six" because a dice has six faces. And the "five" is actually represented orally when she says "five-o" seeing the car. But the two three on the elevator on the other hand... could be a way better domino six.
"Paranoia" might as well be the title for this one. Kim, Gus, and all of us watching are losing our minds over the eerie absence of Lalo. Imagine if they had shown a B plot of him preparing revenge, it's SO much scarier knowing as much as the characters!
14:18 When I first got to that part of the episode I jokingly said "haha look it's Mike" because I saw a bald person in the background only to find out my joke was actually correct
Howard is probably the most innocent of all the nain characters in BCS. The worst you can say of him is that he sided with Chuck in his squabble with Jimmy, but even in that, he kind of had too. I'd put him up there with Hank and Gomez as the least dirty main characters in the whole BB universe.
The all house and neighbourood of Gus is under surveillance surely 100% of time. This the explanation for Breaking Bad s04e02 when Walter went to Gus's house to kill him but he was stopped by a phone call from Mike saying "Go home, Walter". Mike or anyone of his crew caught him by security cameras.
When jimmy and Kim were staring through the window of his eventual new office there is a shot of them…the 2 of them standing next to each other and 4 window panes. Maybe that’s the 6.
The red house in the beginning had 6 windows, but it wasn’t perfect. After last week I spent all episode looking for a 6 lol. They’re definitely doing something with numbers. I’m the trailer for the season they have the clip of his walking into his house, but it’s number 418 because they wanted to add a clue for when it premiered, which was April 18th. Now it’s number 1213
One thing i haven't see many people talk about is that when Jimmy get the cold threatment from the others, because he defended Lalo, that's another step into his Saul Goodman self. Why does matter who he represents? He got the money and hegot reputation. He got more clients and more money. Edit: This now makes more sense why Jesse call him a criminal lawyer, i guess Saul will start to embrace it
I love BCS, but I feel that they could've changed the scene where Jimmy parks Howard's car in the wrong spot. It's unbelievable that someone like Howard wouldn't notice, seeing as how he's now in a small space with a moved sign and yellow stripes.
There was a scene when mikes people pulled up on Kim and Wendy where in the background 4 air conditioners and the rims of the car made a 6, could be wrong though!
I missed the number 6 on this episode but I still believe your countdown theory is valid. Those two #3:s might be our number 6! Also I wouldnt mind if you did a rewatch of breaking bad after this season ends. I know it might be too soon but it would be interesting to see your reactions to those iconic moments rewatching it and now witnessing it after this show is over.
My theory is that Howard won't break bad, instead he will retaliate using his lawyer skills and connections, and prove himself too strong of an opponent for kim and he will be the reason why Kim isn't in BrBa, she's probably hiding from the law.
@@OnlyCualquiera exactly! after the "that's your cross to bear" conversation he's been going downhill fast, I feel like Jimmy and Kim are going to be the ones to push him over the edge.
The red house at the beginning had 4 windows on the left and 2 on the right since one is blocked by scaffolding. That’s the only thing that screamed 6 to me. Also why else did they include it.
Since Jimmy/Saul was snarky/happy in Breaking Bad I'm thinking Kim dumps him and runs away. I can't imagine her being killed, it wouldn't fit with the way his character acted later on with Walt and Jesse.
For anyone who forgot or missed it, Spooge was the addict who stole from Skinny Pete and got his head crushed by an ATM.
Came here to say this 😂
Yeah we know. And his wife was totally a Skank Yo.
Skankity skankity skank!
cant believe so many people dont remember SPOOGE :(
Holly shit I never would of realized that thx
I love how Jimmy is like "what kind of jerk moves a cone" meanwhile he's doing... all this.
'Friend of the Cartel', eh, Jimmy?
For some reason, his saying that and then bringing it up again with Kim feels like a Seinfeld bit to me
gus having all of this security explains why he knew walt was outside his house immediately
"Go home Walter"
Walter: IJustShitMyPants.mp3
Walt: "I jUSt waNNa TAlK tO HiM"
But then that makes it more unbelievable that he didn’t know what Walt was up to in the care home.
It explains how Walter was able to stick the GPS to gus car and it didn't show him going anywhere
I loved when they cut from Howard saying “ I did have a dream “ to jimmy dressed as Howard, genius misdirect imo
a Howard dream sequence would be wildly different for this show so it really threw me for a loop until I saw the duplicate key
@@johnny-vu6rl have they ever done a dream sequence in either show? Jesse making the box, maybe, but that was a memory.
@@LockeD333 nope

Awesome episode, though it felt really dang short. Can't believe it's a directorial debut, rhea killed it!
Countdown alert: There were 6 switched on lights at the nail salon at 13:44, arranged in a dice pattern.
Oooh.. there it is, nice catch!
In the first scene there is also 6 pictures in the wall (1 big and 5 small) when the two people enter the house
The suspense with Kim is killing me. With every episode that passes I dread what her eventual fate is.
I don't think she'll die. She might get sent to jail.
Kidnapped by Lalo?
My prediction is she’s in hiding
I’ll bet she gets disappeared either by Ed or on her own and then reunites with Jimmy in the future
I like to think that she's the guy who knows another guy who knows another guy, can you imagine that? that Kim basically runs the entirety of Saul Goodman and Associates from the shadows and even makes it to be envolved with Gus´s drug business and other illegitimate scams all around ABQ.

I feel so bad for Howard
For the first 3ish seasons nobody would bat an eye...but now we understand. He's just another casualty of not just Jimmy, but the McGill family. (hopefully not in the literal sense)
Yeah I don't think he's going to make it.

One other Easter Egg is the driver of the car that was following Kim. That is the guy that Walt shoots in the face in the lab, after Gus dies.

When jimmy and Kim were staring through the window of his eventual new office there is a shot of them…the 2 of them standing next to each other and 4 window panes. Maybe that’s the 6.
Her directing reminds me of that movie Pleasentville very neat and symmetrical
Spooge - the guy who had his head crushed by the ATM
Next week is called Black and Blue aka Negro y Azul ..maybe some Danny Trejo incoming?
He moves slow
@@Julio-it1pl he takes his time but he always wins
Taco Cabeza. Must be Jesse dealing there...
@@SUHERD Half the deals he's ever done went down there! Nobody ever gets shot at Taco Cabeza.
Lalo had to go to marvel universe and come back in this season XD
Michael Mando's character got beat up in Orphan Black, too. Versatile actor.
I love the scene with wendy getting thrown out the car 😅😅
the most surprising thing about this episode is that gus wears a clip on tie 16:25
Always a blast watching your reactions man, great quality content keep it up bro.
Brandon, I'm following your domino countdown idea. I think the house being painted red in the opening looks a lot like a domino with two 2s on it...
it looks like a red domino with 2 white dominoes inside 2 gray dominoes, but no dots
87% sure the SIX domino is at 2:14. 4 on the left, 2 on the right. It's even red, and they discuss its shade of red. Gotta be it.
The red house in the beginning had 6 windows, but it wasn’t perfect. After last week I spent all episode looking for a 6 lol. They’re definitely doing something with numbers. I’m the trailer for the season they have the clip of his walking into his house, but it’s number 418 because they wanted to add a clue for when it premiered, which was April 18th. Now it’s number 1213
*gus walking into his house
Love This Type Of Content
One thing i haven't see many people talk about is that when Jimmy get the cold threatment from the others, because he defended Lalo, that's another step into his Saul Goodman self.
Why does matter who he represents? He got the money and hegot reputation. He got more clients and more money.
Edit: This now makes more sense why Jesse call him a criminal lawyer, i guess Saul will start to embrace it
This might be considered an old video now and all the theories likely finished, but to me it looks like a dice of 6 at 9:49
I love BCS, but I feel that they could've changed the scene where Jimmy parks Howard's car in the wrong spot.
It's unbelievable that someone like Howard wouldn't notice, seeing as how he's now in a small space with a moved sign and yellow stripes.
12:24 I thought I was the only one who thought that lol
Wendy worrying about her two quarters for the pop machine.
Did you notice the actress Rhea Seehorn who plays Kim directed this episode? 😉
There was a scene when mikes people pulled up on Kim and Wendy where in the background 4 air conditioners and the rims of the car made a 6, could be wrong though!
All 6 seasons are Howard's Dream.
So that's another way Mike could've caught Walt trying to visit Gus' house.
There are six light signs in the final shot.
That was Anthony Carrigan or "noho hank"
Taco Cabeza! No one ever gets shot at Taco Cabeza.
10:12 yep it used in true grit
Brandon do you remember spooge in breaking bad? 13:58
Damn I was expecting Brandon to recognize Gus’ house in the intro
I like the choice of clothing in the scene with Gus. In public the shirt is light, but at home in front of his people the clothes are all black.
I missed the number 6 on this episode but I still believe your countdown theory is valid. Those two #3:s might be our number 6! Also I wouldnt mind if you did a rewatch of breaking bad after this season ends. I know it might be too soon but it would be interesting to see your reactions to those iconic moments rewatching it and now witnessing it after this show is over.
In the nail salon, there were 6 lights on the ceiling.
No mention of Rhea directing !?
Ahhhh so it was rootbeer that rotted out Wendy’s teeth 😏
Nobody ever gets shot at taco cabeza.....
My theory is that Howard won't break bad, instead he will retaliate using his lawyer skills and connections, and prove himself too strong of an opponent for kim and he will be the reason why Kim isn't in BrBa, she's probably hiding from the law.
The numbers on Gus’s door add up to 7.
Is that keeping with the “counting down” thing of this season?
There appears to be a six above the bed when they are talking.
I've got a bad feeling that Howard is going to self delete at some point.
I was thinking that too. He's kinda depressed and the stuff Jimmy and Kim are doing might worsen everything
@@OnlyCualquiera exactly! after the "that's your cross to bear" conversation he's been going downhill fast, I feel like Jimmy and Kim are going to be the ones to push him over the edge.
Pretty sure your theories about the number symbolism is not an intentional thing by the creators
The red house at the beginning had 4 windows on the left and 2 on the right since one is blocked by scaffolding. That’s the only thing that screamed 6 to me. Also why else did they include it.
What are you on about, mate.
Is it surreal for anyone else to read the comment section, and nobody knows any more of the story than Brandon does?
It's hard to follow up Rock and Hard Place, but the music for this episode was the best in quite some time.
Since Jimmy/Saul was snarky/happy in Breaking Bad I'm thinking Kim dumps him and runs away. I can't imagine her being killed, it wouldn't fit with the way his character acted later on with Walt and Jesse.
