There's some similarity, but they have different names (Sticky & Ron vs Badger (Brandon) & Pete).
I also just realized that Lyle was Jason Hood on Banshee. Was wondering where I'd seen him before.

Man, Gus' body language in this entire episode was palpable.
My thoughts watching the episode:
- Oh no, Kim, don't! (I know you feel shitty about your job, but this is not going to go the way you think!)
- Oh no, Jimmy, don't! (Howard pisses you off, but he's not a bad guy!)
- Oh no, Mike, don't! (Just apologize to your daughter, granddaughter, and move past it, don't go looking to get yourself beat up by street toughs!)
Howard is one of my favorite characters on the show. I get that Jimmy's still pissed at him. It seems like he hates that Howard's managed to (or at least is attempting to) move past his grief and get on with his life. Sure he comes off a bit smarmy, but... he's not really a bad guy. Other than delaying the Sandpiper settlement just to stop Jimmy from getting his payday when he really needed it, I think he's right - all that bad blood between them was really because of Chuck.

I'm starting to think Kim's disappearance will be something like her saying she needs to stay away from Jimmy because she doesn't like the version of herself that she wants to be when she's around him. Which is someone that wants to play the goody when she can and walk the line when she can as well. Can't do both.. And it will be heartbreaking.
HOLY SHIT Rhea Seahorn is 47?
was looking to see if she was gonna be in any future projects after listening to the BCS podcast and Jesus Christ I thought she was mid 30's.
God damn she needs to be in more and better things than Inside Man 2 wtf. Or maybe just a better agent.

He's a nice(ish) guy, but Jimmy holds a grudge. I think he's the Skylar of this show. People may not like him because they like Jimmy, not realizing Jimmy is sort of a self-sabotaging conman.
He's the Mr Peanutbutter. :D He means well and his heart is golden, but he fucks up.
I think that's a good comparison. Except Skylar wasn't very likable (even though her behavior was completely justified). Howard is.
The best thing about Gus being so unhappy about the cleaning job was that once the worker left, he moved one of the handles a couple of mm so it was perfectly aligned, almost as if that was his problem 😂
A need to be in control.
A desire to make someone suffer.
The fryer actually was unacceptably dirty.
Or some other reason we'll find out later.
Howard is legit borderline sociopath. No sympathy from me.
I'm thinking he's keeping that guy as an outlet just in case it goes wrong.
Having an alibi or a scapegoat in case they somehow traced that call to the Los Pollos?
This makes the most sense. I was thinking something like this the entire time, but then when everything is over, I excepted him to tell the worker he did great and send him home gracefully.
But he didn't which confused me again.
I was the first to suggest it was an alibi but based on BTS interviews it seems like it was just an outlet to take his frustration of the situation on.
we can kinda see where the season is going now huh
- downfall of Kim due to conflict of interest getting her boyfriend to represent Acker
- Jimmy then going way too far in order to win with Acker, pulling off some illegal shit
- Somehow this illegal shit involves the Salamancas, therefore tying Kim to them
- Jimmy wins the case, giving him fame, loses Kim in the process

I could definitely see your last point becoming true and something I didn't think about. This could be a huge high profile case that throws Saul into the limelight and Kim into the shitter.
However, I disagree that the Salamancas will tie into the Acker case that much aside from the Saul connection. I think in the way these past seasons have had the Jimmy and Kim story separate from the Salamancas and Mike and Gus stories will continue.

This is legitimately one of the most shocking things I've read recently.
Fucking WHAT?
Damn hope Gus doesn't kill poor Lyle.
Had a holy shit moment when I was rewatching breaking bad. In season 2 when Walt + Jesse has Saul at gunpoint in the desert, he yells "It was Ignacio!" "You guys are with Lalo right? Lalo sent you?"
we're closing in on the BB timeline boys

I think they can probably wrap it up at any time and have it make just as much sense.
I want to see them somehow tie up Marie and Skylar's story in the future timeline.
His subtlety and composure is chilling. I first remember seeing him in the movie Fresh as a kid and his demeanor somehow spooked me back then too lol.
Mando looks to be such a charming guy. Had no idea about his fear of snakes as he stated on Meyers.
And that kid picture of himself in karate pose gear is adorbs. =D
She's been around for over 20 years at this point, she certainly wasn't 23 when the Shaggy Dog remake came out in 2006.
I didn't even remember her in that movie.
And to be honest, in the scene I looked up she could definitely have pulled off mid-20s with how she looked:
It's no wonder Kim puts up with Jimmy's shit if this is what her previous partner acted like.
Finally got the last episode; felt very "off" to me. Everything too over the top, from that first scene that over-stayed it's welcome, to how Mike / Gus / Howard / Hank / Gomey pretty much everyone was acting like an exaggerated version of themselves to how obnoxiously cliche the 2 new meth head skinny pete and badger types were.
Like the show just went off the rails for me. Need to watch again to validate (or hopefully change) those feelings.

I'd be surprised if they didn't go full post-BB next season. Gotta see what happens with Gene.
Judging by how far we still are behind on the timeline that ain't happening.
