    Just caught up on 3 great seasons that somehow passed me by. Best sitcom since Seinfeld meets the best crime drama since BB, at least that I've seen.

    With the Gus/Lalo showdown over though (safe to say the de facto grand finale) I'm not exactly strapping my seat for the conclusion of this new mini "arc", which has so far been pretty underwhelming. One thing that stood out like a sore thumb is that the actor who replaced Don Harvey to play Jeff doesn't even slightly resemble him, and even the character's personality almost seems to have been completely rewritten, because I'm not convinced at all that that's the same guy who humiliated Jimmy in the mall.

    The latest episode was the most disappointing yet. It was cool to see Aaron and Cranston again but as others have said the fan service stuff is lazy. But I can't say I didn't learn anything new. A guy with cancer can be an a------, LBJ conducted presidential business while on the john, and...

    Yeah literally nothing Peter Gould said about it was truthful lol, it was a totally forced “look what we got” fan service. Is what it is, but that kinda s--- is beneath these shows

    You can't base your feelings on the cartels portrayal in Ozark lol that was a joke. They let a white American guy come down and become the head of it. The only thing that makes Kim interesting in BCS is that she's part of Sauls story and we don't know where it ends. There's nothing in her background that was entertaining. I think that would be the most boring show ever . If there was a Salamanco type spin off Gus would obviously be a part of it somehow...at the same time these guys are getting older and if they did go that route they'd have to have younger actors portray them. Not trying to see the guy who plays Hector Salamanca in a toupee pretending to be 20

    Liked this episode, all coming together. I think it will wrap up up saul timeline in next two eps as it’s picking the pace up now. Much to get through in the gene timeline so I’m sure they will give a episode or two for that.

    The 10 minute gay scene was just.... f--- me lol.
    Thank God everything from Howard's gathering at HHM to the end was perfect and saved the episode.

    Assuming you mean Mike talking to Saul after Lalo died about it, yeah, that was cringe. They have bent over backwards trying to work around that scene from BB where Saul had a bag over his head and this just seemed like a lazy closing to it. The bit from early in the episode with Lalo talking to Saul about Nacho was good but Mike refusing to outright admit to Saul that Lalo was dead so that the BB scene makes more sense was sloppier than the standard this show has set

    With only 5 episodes left I’m finding it hard to figure out how they’re gonna get Saul’s character from here to where it was at the start of BB. We’re still 4 years before the BB timeline starts and Walt and Jesse both have to appear somehow. Feels like a time jump (other than the jump to Gene’s era) is gonna need to happen. Maybe Kim becomes the prime suspect for killing Howard somehow and goes the vacuum guy route, we see it finally do Jimmy in and then get a jump to a couple years later. I don’t know, he just still seems pretty far off from the guy we see in BB so I’m interested in how they’re gonna get him there…

    Probably due the fact he not a main player in the BB timeline and was a throwaway name for one scene. Everything now, needs to come into the start of the BB timeline. So had to conclude his arc this way for it to make sense and get Jimmy to where he needs be and end Kims arc. I think they will wrap the saul timeline in the next two episodes and then switch to Gene timeline for the final two.

    Very good episode, direction was different class. Yeah I mentioned the foreshadowing this season has been way to obvious and was again. But enjoyed the outcome, even if was bit underwhelming for one of the main characters in the series. Looking forward to the conclusion of Saul/Kim storyline now.

    This also makes the Kim storyline more interesting now. If she was going to get killed you would think it would have been at the hands of Lalo. Now that he's gone the only way I can see her dying is if she dies in an accident or offs herself. Looking more likely she just leaves him

    Was thinking the same. Was hoping he'd have a Gus type ending. They could have made that better. We finally know what happened to him though, right under the lab with a bunk mate

    Where did Lalo find such a nice trucker shower I've never used one before but all the ones I've seen on road trips look like they're covered in j*** and herpes and I've been to ABQ enough times to know that most New Mexico truck stops are glorified crack pipe gas stations
