Didn’t know Cruz didn’t like playing Tuco. He made him so memorable.

I doubt Tuco will be back. If he had been involved in filming I think we would have heard by now unless they jumped tbrough all kinds of hoops to conceal it. Knowing Raymond Cruz’s distaste for tbe character, I think it’s highly unlikely. Plus most of tbe remaining series may well be set in tbe Gene Takovic Omaha…

That sucks. Theyre holding back season 6 on their premium streaming service.

Another difference compared to BB is that many central characters were preening bores: Kim, Chuck, Howard, often Jimmy/Saul, sometimes Gus, and Lalo. They demanded to be admired for their challenging careers and personal qualities. Even the Mike character sometimes suffered from the tendency of successful…

I admit, I was also disappointed. Almost a free-standing episode. It was quality, But felt like a waste of the last three episodes.

i hated it as much, okay not AS much as the FLY episode in BrBa.

One of the better episodes of the season. The show is at its best when its not dealing with cartel nonsense, just Jimmy’s scams

I guess I’m the only person who didn’t particularly like this episode.

As the person who usually makes this kind of argument in various comment sections, I would love it if these talk shows made a sincere effort to change people’s minds but I would also acknowledge it’s never gonna happen. It’s just not the business model. Because it’s politics + comedy, and that relies on your audience…

He went from 100% ignorant about Nebraska Football, to a super fan! Definitely bored, the Macys caper got him outta his rut tho. And he made a friend, sorta.

Biding time for what? Just call the cops. Otherwise it’s just sets up a complete retread of what we all just saw happen to her son. (Discover Saul, try to blackmail him, get scammed into a stalemate). I wouldn't enjoy watching all that play out again. 

That, and I believe at one point they flash to Gene studying the sports section of the local paper and jotting down meticulous notes during work.

I don't remember if it was there in the previous Gene scenes, but I liked the detail of his lunch bag having a Royals logo. You can tell that Kim was still on his mind.

I like the totally random nod to 2001: A Space Odyssey with the part number 1-9-6-8-AE-35.

“So, after all that... a happy ending.”

Good catch! That pesky AE-35 unit was the start of all their problems!

I...did not take remotely the same thing from this episode- particularly Gene leaving the shirt behind on the rack- as you did. I took all of this to be a very scared, very angry attempt to tie up the X factor that could rouse him from his life as Gene Takovic for the last time. I don’t think, outside of some college…

Yes, but Slipp’n Jimmy can’t help taking shortcuts. He was just reading the box scores.

It would be 2010. Nebraska lost to an unranked Texas early that year, and Brandon Weeden is mentioned.

I won’t claim I caught more than a handful of episodes, but from what little I saw she fell into the trap of thinking her show needed to be the Deliverer of Truth rather than, first and foremost, entertaining. The same problem that pretty much ruined most of late night during the Trump era (including Colbert). I was…
