Just realized what a dick move the finger guns were, after Jimmy had recently explained his PTSD.

It’s amazing how much more tense I was during the Jimmy and Kim scenes than during the Lalo-Nacho conversation. Shows how terrified I am of anything happening to her.

Speaking of which: was that a clever little matte painting? The roof of the restaurant?

I think going what they went through with Lalo and thinking they came out on the other side safely burned something off of her. She’s always been one to accept the reality of the situation, but now her caution and propriety seem to be gone. There’s a bit of mania there now, someone who is feeling invincible and…

Thanks, Ms. Bowman, for another fine season’s worth of great analysis and writing!

That last shot is going to haunt me until whenever the hell it is we get to see any more. Lalo was stomping along like a T-1000, especially with those metallic crunches under his feet. Heaven help whoever gets in his way.

Gus must’ve paid those assassins with Los Pollos Hermanos coupons.

RIP, Yolanda, the best cook in Chihuahua. I felt bad for Lalo when he found her gunned down; you could tell that one pained him.

Hell yea. Maybe its his charm, or maybe I just have a thing about attacking a man in his own home, but I was rooting for Lalo all through that firefight.

On the surface, Nacho, man of few words, doesn’t seem like he’s on the level of the top heroes and villains in this universe, but there’s a scrappy intelligence to him that makes me glad he’s in the game. I loved the padlock trick, and the kitchen sabotage, but even before that, I got the sense he was trying to get…

Not a fan of new Kim.  Taking revenge against Howard is a dick move.  He never did anything to her and she’s going to ruin him?  Why?  

I’ve given many accolades to Rhea Seehorn—the secret weapon of this show—and sang Bob Odenkirk’s praises too. He has completely put comedic actor as a secondary characteristic, as he is a complete actor now in every way. They were both wonderful again in this episode, which relied so heavily on body language, longing…

Thank you for the lovely review, Donna.

Gus’s point about Nacho is totally on point. Nacho 1. went behind Tuco’s back for his pharma drug deal, then 2. tried to get Mike to kill him, then 3. tried to kill Hector, then 4. betrayed Lalo. We like him because he looks sweet, but he could have worked for his pop and had a nice life. Nacho is to blame for his…

Give Rhea Seehorn a goddamn Emmy for this episode

He did say “that isn’t going to work” when Saul started to use that method and also pointed out the loose bills, so he knew. I think at that point he was kinda fed up with the whole deal so was willing to let Saul fuck up on his own. .

He often does the "if they don't listen I can't force them" approach. Who learns by being told anyway?

I almost thought that was going to happen.  The camera would pan down and it's still there.  Thankfully that didnt happen. 

Yeah, I hear ya, but you don’t have to die, y’know, to go through hell.

And don’t forget that Mike is not exactly a spring chicken!
