I'm sorry, but bodies under concrete several years later aren't attracing flies anymore.


*** Specifically, watch the [[Recap/BreakingBadS3E10Fly Fly]] episode with the knowledge that fly might be there attracted to Lalo and Howard's buried and rotting remains. It's all contaminated indeed, Walt.

** Mike knew Howard. Having worked at the court house parking lot, Mike had had a casual connection with Howard and knew Howard was struggling with many personal demons. He knew Kim and Jimmy started playing false games on Howard, but there was nothing he could do about it. Howard inadvertently coming into the Jimmy/Kim/Lalo situation hurt him as much as it did them.

** The scene of Kim ranting and hyperventilating at Gus' house can be undercut by the body-double reveal. Sure, it makes sense, even without context that a CrazyPrepared man like Gus '''obviously''' has a body-double in the decoy house. However, the revelation seems more like a skit from ''Series/TheOffice'', where the camera suddenly pans to a man darker than Gus, a bit smaller, with more hair and far less imposing, evoking a Mini-Me vibe.

** The climatic scene where Gus dedicates what may end up being his final words to telling the high ranking members of The Cartel exactly what he thinks of them basically had to be done in Spanish. After all, Lalo is recording the video to show to Eladio, and Eladio doesn't even seem to be able to speak English. However, Giancarlo Esposito (Gus's actor) doesn't speak spanish fluently, and gets his spanish-speaking lines phonetically. His delivery of these lines is always pretty bad, but this speech in particular is noted by native spanish speakers to sound practically unintelligible, on the level of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin trying to speak Italian,]] reducing what should be a very dramatic and tense scene to something bizarre and humorous.

** Three seasons ago, Mike's conscience ate him up so much about the innocent man whose death he felt responsible for, that he finds the body himself and makes an anonymous call for it to be dug up so his family can have a proper burial. Now, Mike oversees the burial of an innocent man (whom he had likely interacted with on many occasions) whose death he felt responsible for, where his family will never find it.

** Not only is Howard dead, but the cover story used to disguise his true fate will insure that he will be forever remembered as the drug-addled wreck Kim and Jimmy framed him to be. The minor 'career setback' Kim and Jimmy thought they were giving him, to ease their consciences about the harm they were doing, will simply be his legacy.
