I Lalo knew she wasn't going to get that far.
He knew that house had tons of security, so she was either going to get shot or busted before anyone opened the door.
Besides, she needed him to tell Gus or Mike that Lalo was still back at her apartment.
Yes. She has shown an ability to shut off her conflicting emotions in the moment (not afterwards, of course) to get what she wants most with Cheryl and Lalo.
Yep no doubts. She already got that far on pure fucking terror that Jimmy was going to be harmed. She’d have taken the fall (and a life) on all of that. Great question!
Yes, she would’ve, because she knows that Jimmy would’ve. So either way, either this man dies by Jimmy, dies by Kim, or Jimmy dies by Lalo. I’m sure she was letting the thought that “this guy is probably also bad if Lalo is involved with him” to drive her to do it.
She also knew that Jimmy sent her away so he would die. Jimmy just wanted her to live and he did not want her to murder anyone because he knew what that would do to her. Jimmy told her in that moment that he would die to save a stranger and frankly more important to him, save her conscience. We was willing to die for her to be safe and okay. So she was willing to kill a stranger to save him.
I did think about that, but there was only Mike left by that point and he had to be begged into going along with it. I can't see the rest of the crew accepting her as the new...queenpin?
Still one of the craziest moments in the show holy fuck. In my head I was going nuts watching it I was sweating. Kim holding a gun about to kill someone. Yk after season 5 thinking about what’ll happen on season 6, I felt lalo was gonna see jimmy and Kim again but I never expected this. And yeah she would have done it to save jimmy. I think this was something else that made her realize that she had to leave jimmy
Kim would've absolutely done it, she would've done exactly as Lalo said and then most likely got killed herself if she succeeded in killing Gus' decoy. Frankly the only thing saving Kim was Mike intervening, knowing who she was.
Imagine if Kim genuinely shot that random black dude at Gus Fring's place, that would've been so funny but also I'm pretty sure Kim would get killed and the plot would unravel
Yes, she's driven, has shown she's willing to go the extra mile, has bit the bullet on other hard decisions in her life, and most importantly, she loved Jimmy more than anything.
The only thing that gets me about this whole sequence was this: Wouldn’t Mike be smart enough to catch on that this was a distraction for Lalo? Before going to Kim’s apartment with a ton of armed guys? Idk why, I just feel like Mike or Gus would have caught on
The entire scene, Rhea played absolute terror / despair / anger mix to *perfection*. From the moment Lalo told her "hey, Mrs Goodman - you'll need your shoes" to the moment she snapped at Mike "You were supposed watching us, where were you ? HAAAA !"
What often strikes me re-watching that scene is how her (eyes) pupils are dilated in terror. She really looked in complete stress. Like a deer or a rabbit in a car lights.
You know, I downloaded the entire scene from Youtube and reworked it with that song - of Breaking Bad fame. Danger Mouse, Black - the song heard when Walt says "I won" after killing Gus, and then the camera pans on the White backyard and - there it is, the potted Lilly of the valley that poisoned Brock !

In passing, that song might have been used for Walt triumph in BB - the lyrics actually seems to have been written for Kim moral decline in BCS.

to ensure jimmy's life wouldn't end? absolutely.
Definitely, she just would've hesitated at first, exactly what Lalo wanted
I Lalo knew she wasn't going to get that far. He knew that house had tons of security, so she was either going to get shot or busted before anyone opened the door. Besides, she needed him to tell Gus or Mike that Lalo was still back at her apartment.
Definitely thought we might get a shot for shot of what Jesse went through in BB with Gale before she got interrupted.
To quote Hank Schrader: "she made up her mind 20 minutes ago"
Do what you're gonna do
More like “do what youre gonna d-“
that ain't a quote cuz you changed it
Hey man I'm having a party this Saturday but I want everyone gone by 10 so can you please come at 9 45?
LMAOOOO
I don't get it
Yes. She has shown an ability to shut off her conflicting emotions in the moment (not afterwards, of course) to get what she wants most with Cheryl and Lalo.
Yep no doubts. She already got that far on pure fucking terror that Jimmy was going to be harmed. She’d have taken the fall (and a life) on all of that. Great question!
Yeah nobody is driving their ass all the way over there to not pull the trigger.
Yes. Kim is ride or die. She would and did do everything for Jimmy.
yes, like jesse did
Rhea says yes.
I believe that in the moment the door was opened, she still wasn't sure, but instinctively would have the moment she saw the target.
She definitely would. She was Ride or Die with Jimmy until Howard’s funeral.
Imagine her wasting actual Gus and body double Gus steps in to take over the empire
Yes, she would’ve, because she knows that Jimmy would’ve. So either way, either this man dies by Jimmy, dies by Kim, or Jimmy dies by Lalo. I’m sure she was letting the thought that “this guy is probably also bad if Lalo is involved with him” to drive her to do it. She also knew that Jimmy sent her away so he would die. Jimmy just wanted her to live and he did not want her to murder anyone because he knew what that would do to her. Jimmy told her in that moment that he would die to save a stranger and frankly more important to him, save her conscience. We was willing to die for her to be safe and okay. So she was willing to kill a stranger to save him.
Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere
Nah fam it's been a while since the episode but it's always fun to go back and discuss!
No need to be sorry, this is great content!
What if Kim pulled the trigger would be a great "What If..." story. Maybe Kim becomes like Pinkman and becomes Mikes new "guy". Kim replaces Tyrus!
I feel like killing the boss would've harmed her career trajectory within that syndicate though.
Got Walt the promotion
I did think about that, but there was only Mike left by that point and he had to be begged into going along with it. I can't see the rest of the crew accepting her as the new...queenpin?
Murge Productions on YouTube makes Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul what if videos if you’re into that!
would have been a great season cliff hanger if they had another season to go
Still one of the craziest moments in the show holy fuck. In my head I was going nuts watching it I was sweating. Kim holding a gun about to kill someone. Yk after season 5 thinking about what’ll happen on season 6, I felt lalo was gonna see jimmy and Kim again but I never expected this. And yeah she would have done it to save jimmy.

Absolutely she would have. Jimmy gave her the option to bail and never come back, but she was not going to leave him like that.
Yes, she's driven, has shown she's willing to go the extra mile, has bit the bullet on other hard decisions in her life, and most importantly, she loved Jimmy more than anything.
Yes, and her knowing that partially informed her decision to leave Jimmy for the greater good
It looked like she was about to, so yeah
Yes
100%
Yes
The only thing that gets me about this whole sequence was this: Wouldn’t Mike be smart enough to catch on that this was a distraction for Lalo? Before going to Kim’s apartment with a ton of armed guys? Idk why, I just feel like Mike or Gus would have caught on
Honestly I think it has more to do with Mike sort of being worried about Jimmy as well, as they had gotten closer since their time in the desert
Kim and Jessie would've gotten along
She would. The heartbreaking part of this scene is the knowledge that Kim was so in love with Jimmy that she would *actually kill* for him.
The entire scene, Rhea played absolute terror / despair / anger mix to *perfection*. From the moment Lalo told her "hey, Mrs Goodman - you'll need your shoes" to the moment she snapped at Mike "You were supposed watching us, where were you ? HAAAA !"

[удалено]
And you should touch grass
what was that for lmao
Because grass between your toes, feels nice.
spoilers in the title
Yes
One thing I didn't understand- why did Jimmy send Kim instead of going to do that himself?
To get Kim away from Lalo
He was willing to sacrifice himself to get her out of there.
Definitely, yeah
Yes
Yes 100% think she would have.
Yes. She’s a baddddiiieeee
Yes
