RIP Mr. Plow

Dammit Jerry!

I was sucking air through my teeth the whole time he was doing the Dirty Dozen rhyming plan.  The fact they set up the slip with the manager telling someone to clean a spot is just fantastic. 

Jim will always be a Jerry, even as a mall cop, he jerryed up security for sure. 

The head of mall security isn’t as depressed as Gene because he gets to go home to Christie Brinkley.

I think that was the moment that broke her.  It was unnecessarily cruel and she realized it after the fact.

I gotta honest:  I was more shocked by Kim quitting being a lawyer than from Howard’s death. 

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.

I’m really enjoying how Better Call Saul makes you hate Walter White, despite his absence from the story, because it drives home just how much labor and suffering and planning Walter destroyed with his petty ego trip. You kind of always got that Gus had spent an enormous amount of time and money building the…

There was something weirdly, bleakly hilarious about that scene with Lyle. Not Lyle so much as in the middle of everything, Gus still takes the time to call him.

God when I was in food service I’d have killed to have a guy like Lyle on staff. What an absolute team player. Probably speaks to how well Gus treats the Pollos staff as well, they’ve consistently been shown to be chipper and responsible.

Y’all are trying to tell me that Gus went to the trouble of all that planning just to stash a gun holding five bullets? (I should assume it was 6 bullets, but I only heard five shots, but obviously I could have missed one.) He couldn’t think to stash one with a higher capacity magazine? Yes clearly he did hit his…

That final smile. Jesus Christ.

It’s a testament to the abilities of all involved that even a prequel, with 3 of the 4 primary character's fates preordained, can be this riveting.  

The fact she's from Omaha and that's where Saul is as Gene is surely not an accident. 

Yeah I thought that through his Private Eye Howard was going to get mixed up in the Lalo situation. When the Private Eye turned out to be a fraud who then vanished I thought Howard would be saved from that fate. But then...

Didn’t even pick up on the coachroach thing. What an awesome detail.

God that final scene made me scream holy fuck so loud I think my neighbors heard me. And now we have to wait 6 weeks to see what happens next!

I’ve said before that this season had me starting to really feel for Howard.

Kim definitively broke bad at the end of this episode. She was on the verge of getting legitimately what she’s been claiming this whole con with Howard has been about, solid financial support for her pro bono legal work, and gaining the respect of her legal peers to boot, but deep down putting the boot to Howard was…
