Better Call Saul Season 6 thread (with spoilers)

They couldn't have shot that in L.A.? Or even Albuquerque? I think the cookout was the only scene that was an exterior with enough visual cues to tell where you where they were. All of the interior office scenes could have been shot anywhere.

Bill Lawrence yesterday said it's impossible to shoot Florida anywhere but Florida. It just looks different. I think the rumor was the Walt and Jesse scenes were all shot in Florida, too, so maybe it was a two birds with one stone thing.

Andy Greenwald was commenting on how much just having that office scene costs. To bring on all those actors with only one episode to go, to travel to Florida to shoot it… just massive amounts of money you don't think about.

I was thinking of its cost over the last few episodes, also. But I don't think Florida would be that big of a deal. If they did move production to there, they could have hired locally. Plus, I bet there were a lot of people who said nothing.
What really blew me away was a behind-the- scenes of Michael Mando's last episode. A car crash scene and the last scene. The sheer number of people involved.

They lingered too long on Kim's life in Florida. My wife was yelling at the screen, "All right already, we get it! Her life is boring!"

Everything about the second half of this season has been 10-15 minutes over indulgent. But that's the price you pay to find out what happens in the end, I suppose.

Like all succesful worshipped writers Gilligan could use a good editing

I don't think this was the last Omaha episode. Didn't Carol Burnett say she's going to be in "a few episodes"?

I think she's going to be the reason Gene's cover gets blown.

Just FYI, I'm taking credit for calling this.

Jimmy's punishment is coming, I think. Kim's is already evident: the boring suburban life in Palm Bay, the banal conversations with neighbors about Mayonaise, cookie-cutter office life (the only thing missing from the birthday party scene was Milton mumbling "but I never get any cake."), the boyfriend who gives her a five-minute bang and then doesn't stay over ... that's got to be a slow descent into hell for her. She probably hopes she gets prosecuted somehow for covering up Howard's death. Jail would be an improvement.

 

[JimmyHoward33]

I get what they're trying to say, and the stark contrast between that and capers with Jimmy, but Florida wasnt THAT bad.

Like, Christ, a lot of this show's viewers are probably looking forward to some office cake. Its a tad spit in their eye to lay it on as thick as they did

I thought the Kim scenes were great. I rewatched them later in the week.

But I thought the entire show through the death of Chuck dragged.

They can't please everybody.

I thought Kim's story line last week so perfectly encapsulated the absolute change in her life, and the terror she still felt when confronted with that past life. It once again made it clear that seeing somebody suddenly die in front of her broke her.

Did they hit the viewer over the head with some of it? You bet. I wish they would have been as transparent in some of the deeper aspects of the series. I'll admit, there have been a number of times my wife and I looked at each other and one of us said, "I don't understand what just happened."

It's not that they hit you over the head. It's that they kept hitting you again and again and again until you had a concussion. Or maybe even a skull fracture.

BCS might be the only show I like that could have used one or two additional storylines to help keep my interest.
For this season, I think about all the screen time spent on Lalo in a sewer, which really didn't propel the story along much at all.

Looks like the finale has a 100-minute runtime. Even though 30 of that is probably commercials, set your DVR accordingly.
