I didn’t notice but maybe these scenes were filmed after Odenkirk’s heart attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 3, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2022 My only negative about this episode was that scene from BB with Saul mentioning Lalo was a lovely little Easter egg before. Now it feels like it’s kinda been shoved down our throats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Another good episode. Didn’t even recognise Aaron Paul at first though! Hope that phone call isn’t the last of Kim! Something is surely going to go badly when Gene goes into the house - wonder if they’ll kill off the character. I also liked the scene between Saul and Mike, really shows the difference from Jimmy era to Saul era the way he talks to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 episode 10 was ok but pretty boring. Reminded me of the fly episode of BB. Felt unnecessary. Half way through episode 11 now. Hope it picks up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted August 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Wow Rhea Seehorn take a bow. Just wow. Awards in-coming surely. The scene on the bus was spectacular. Some of the best acting I've seen in a TV show. Spoiler I thought the scene with Jesse was well written dialogue and kept the BB stuff on the periphery which I like. But it just didn't work because he looks too old trying to play the young Jesse. The voice was wrong - they should have de-aged him with CGI or kept him in the shadows. Finally Jimmy found a little bit of a conscience at the end but will it be his downfall? Will he have time to call the vacuum repair man? All set up for one more episode!

Mark Albrighton Posted August 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2022 Brilliant episode, my favourite of the Gene era ones - so far. The little “The tide is high” joke made me laugh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 10, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yeah another brilliant episode. I really didn't think the Gene stuff would be such a big part of the show but I'm glad it is. It'll tie everything together nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It hit me watching this episode how much I’m going to miss these characters after next week. I know it’s really weird but I reckon I’ll be genuinely sad. It’s just about overtaken Breaking Bad for me. Greatest TV show ever IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Wow, fantastic episode. Brilliant performance Rhea Seehorn. “When I knew him, he was” - presume it’s not the last we’ll see of her as I think she’ll be in the finale in the Gene timeline but what a great way to close off the BCS era for her character.

It would be fitting if she featured in the last episode but I thought this came across as her finale and where they left her was the perfect ending for her, character-wise - completely breaking down after everything that’s happened; letting out everything she’s been holding in. I hope I’m wrong and they’ve figured out a way of including her. Either way, I can’t believe that I predicted a happy little neat and tidy Nebraska reunion! If I had one criticism of this episode it would be that I thought they went a little overboard on the mundanity of Kim’s ‘new’ life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 11, 2022 Pete Peppers on his YouTube channel thinks the mundanity and the refusal to ever make even the simplest of decisions is so that she never again risks inadvertently causing harm to anyone else. That's how much she's damaged by the Howard saga. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) I won’t be able to watch the final episode when it comes out, gonna have to wait until the Friday which I’m not terribly pleased about. Ah well. Yeah I’m also going to feel a bit sad when it’s over, not being in that world, not seeing these characters again (I could happily watch an animated Saul talking to a mildly irritated Mike, for hours). I don’t know if it’s surpassed Breaking Bad for me, but the fact that it’s even a consideration is crazy. It’s certainly close. Gilligan, Gould and the writers putting out over 120 episodes of incredibly high quality consistently is a phenomenal achievement.

Caught up with the show over the last couple of days, and was thinking these exact thoughts last night. She is just incredible, and that scene was just the pinacle of a truly remarkable body of work with the Kim character. Hall of fame type stuff. Overall, this final series is just brilliant. Spectacularly good TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely Spoiler The scene where he intimates he'll be able to swindle out of it by convincing a juror that he was a victim is pure GENIUS. The show ended in kind of devastating, sad way but it was absolutely perfect. The whole show has been one long exercise in a decent-ish guy trying to do the right thing and getting nowhere with it, yet getting everything he wants by cutting corners and engaging in chicanery. In the end, he does the right thing at the expense of his entire life. Just brilliant. Hats off. Awards all around! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
