When they were in the parking garage and Jimmy said “I know that was hard” and I imagined her saying “that’s the problem, it wasn’t hard, it was easy”, but instead she just gazed at him for a moment and smiled and softly kissed him. And that’s why this show is unlike anything else on television.

Not much to add at the moment, other than to mention the few seconds of the opening office-sign-hanging scene where the camera framed it as “Goodman & Ass”. What scamps these BCS directors are.

Yeah, it’s an ugly moment for Kim. Jimmy’s story to Howard’s wife was self-deprecating: he tells her that the reason Howard suspected him is because he’s a loser who was envious of Howard. Kim’s story is about the fact that Howard was a drug addict for a long time. And she then pretends to reassure the wife that Kim…

Great call back. Yeah, it was both a challenge for her to go ice-pick-cold on Howard’s widow, and a weary admission to herself that she can do this - has to do this one last lie. They could have walked away and been like, “Whatever,” with the lingering suspicions, but Kim realized she needed to nail this shut.

Yes, I think the point was that this was as exposed as Gus was willing to be. He was willing to subtle suggest that David might come to his house and try the wine that David had talked about. When David said he hoped Gus would tell him what the wine was like when he tried it, Gus took that as a rejection of his offer.…

It was, but it didn’t fetishize it’s own misery*. As the review indicated, this is a prequel and we all knew this was going to happen in some form or another. This episode was the Revenge of the Sith of the BB cinematic universe.

They display frighteningly real sincerity even in a situation like trying to convince a widow who has been (wrongly) made to believe that her husband died by suicide and was a drug addict, all in the name of covering their role in the man’s death.

The first rule of the con is that you die with the lie. I also think that was when Kim realized that she was way, way too good at it.

They actually teamed up in the TV movie finale to that wonderful series, so this was a reunion of sorts for the two Mikes (Kellerman and Giordello). Interestingly, this review doesn’t even touch on the fact that Gus was openly flirting with David the waiter, confirming a suspicion many of us had long assumed (and one…

I’d say it’s both - the latter making the former possible, and that blurring between the lines is what makes it all the more convincing why she decides, then and there, to leave. She KNOWS she could become a full-blown sociopath if she allowed herself to be - that she wanted to stay with Jimmy and enact the plan…

I think there was one single scene that perfectly sums up the essence of Saul Goodman.

Balderdash.  The lesser Hemsworth is Liam.  Luke is medium Hemsworth.

Yeah, I don’t get the hate in the comments. I’m enjoying the twists, totally consistent with the history of the show. That’s the way Westworld rolls. Gene Wolfe wrote in Claw of the Conciliator, “That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.” If you don't like the way WW transpires don't…

What a twist, I loved that Caleb is pretty much gone and that Hale is delighting in twisting the knife to whatever left of him, even as a Host. It felt like best parts of Season 1 and 2 coming back to play out whatever’s left for the second half of season.

For the record, I absolutely fucking hated Walter White way before BCS came along.

No plan is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

I like it! It was definitely Lalo!

Minor thing but Lalo tells Jimmy to just point and shoot until he runs out of bullets

I await the fan theories about Lalo and/or Howard being reincarnated as the fly from that famous Breaking Bad episode.
