I’d like to see more jokes about how inconvenient air travel is, and the differences between New York City and Los Angeles, delivered by someone standing up in front of a brick wall.

Sort of unrelated, but Graham Norton is one of the best talk show hosts on TV, period, and it’s nice to see him get some coverage here... even if it is about his interaction with Weinstein.
Believe it or not, a person can both be graceless at one time and also be a victim of sexual harassment. We don’t have to reach an overall verdict on a person before we determine whether the person deserves our sympathy for being harassed.
I’ve seen people say this and I don’t really get why. S4 had Kim’s epic rant vs Howard. It had that excellent scholarship sequence. It had the superlab stuff which was even further strengthened by S6. It had Lalo. It had one of the darkest resolutions of the entire show with Werner’s death, as well as that 1-2 punch…
Should: everyone who worked on Reservation Dogs
Or, and just hear me out, maybe certain pieces of media labelled “nerdy” have actually always been wildly popular with the general public? Maybe that’s why LotR has never fallen out of print and was adapted into one of the highest grossing film trilogies of all time, Star Wars was at one point the highest grossing…
There’s a lot of context needed for this.
Kim busted out crying on the airport shuttle... cut to: Soccer themed VW ad = fart noise.
Nor would BCS be as potent if you stopped near the end, watched ~50 hours of a different show, then returned to this final stretch.
I don’t know if she’s still deeply bereaved. As we know Howard was definitely trying to work on his marriage with counseling but his wife I think was ready to just call it quits. Howard getting killed though would still devastate her. Kim showing up clearly brought back a lot of grief. I don’t think she was sitting…
Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…
They’ve done the reflection thing before all the way back in the first episode when he first rewatches his old ads.
They told Kim she was about to be a Made Man and everything...
Growly voice: “I am the one who sees you when you’re sleeping...”
I think it works from Jimmy’s perspective, though. He was so rattled that someone made him, that this guy seemed like a creepy, intimidating, scary figure to him. Once Jimmy decided to handle it himself, he realized this guy isn’t scary at all because if he wanted to turn him in or blackmail Jimmy, he would’ve done so…
This is the kind of underrated comment we’ll only appreciate years from now.
Oh that makes sense. At the time I thought Gus was thinking “This lawyer managed to persuade a man like Lalo to change his plans? He seems like a talented man I should go into business with”. So I appreciate that different take, I think it works better.
He might have been more convinced if Mike hadn’t PREVIOUSLY told him that Lalo was dead ....
in-universe he was shown to be quite charming when he wanted to be.
I await the fan theories about Lalo and/or Howard being reincarnated as the fly from that famous Breaking Bad episode.
