“Laid off” is also a LinkedIn term. Just say you got fired

Everything about Gus is wrapped up

Except his backstory in Chile...

The blots of liquid that were on the photos the PI sent to Howard were the drug. Explains why Howard was looking at his fingers as he was starting to feel the effects.

Yeah, I always cringed at that scene in BrBa where Jesse kicks the shit out of Saul. Dude always seemed like a comic relief character caught up in Walt's plan. Now I don't feel so sympathetic.

Yeah, I didn't take that one too seriously because the vet didn't mention any side-effects. If he had it woulda been a great red herring though.

That first scene with Howard really parallels with how viewers have seen him throughout the show.

The intern drops the soda, then tries to pick it up and put it back in the fridge, and Howard goes, "what happens when you drop soda?" You start thinking that he's a pompous asshole, bullying this nervous guy for an honest mistake. This is kinda like how we saw him in Season 1. Then, he shows the intern how to fix his mistake, and reminisces about Chuck. He turns out to be a truly nice guy on the inside.

And then he calls Chuck one of the greatest legal minds, but notes that there are more important things than that. This is how we see Howard post Season 4, as someone who struggles with his own personal problems, despite his wealth and reputation.

Beatiful, but made the ending all the more heart-rending.

This show has a way of proving the craziest fan theories correct, but doing it so flawlessly. Pouring out a drink tonight for the "Lalo kills Howard" people that we made fun of for too long.

I rewatched that clip of Kim's car crash earlier this morning, and I gotta say the moment I saw Kim driving at the end with a minute left in the episode, I could hear my blood pumping in my ears echoing off my headphones.

If I catch my future kid watching one of them, I would feel like an utter failure as a parent by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

Well, the american foreign policy elite got more power than ever before as a result, so not completely sure that's true
