Thoughts on the Finale:
-The payoff of Jerry doing his standup in prison is almost worth it.
-Likewise, the shoehorn of the button comment. Fantastic.

The montage in the clip show would have been vastly improved had they used the contepmoranius Beck song "Lord Only Knows" (from Odelay)

I always thought the Season 9 plot should have been they offer Bania a show, and they want to reshoot Jerry's pilot with Bania as the star and Jerry as The Butler- and NBC finds some obscure contractual thing, which he fights, where a judge eventually rules and Jerry is forced to play Bania's butler on the show.
I also get the feeling that while the father was kind and generous to the neighborhood, he was not especially loving toward the boys - it'd be one thing if he were an all-around jovial guy loving/hugging on everyone, including his family. But it sounds like he was rather reserved and detached with them.
He also had to COUNT how many there are.
It's pretty clear he is going to take that pill and put meth or coke in it, and slip it back into Hector's pill bottle… thus leading to a massive stroke…
I'm thinking how Chuck gets Jimmy is going to be by going after Kim. He blames Jimmy for his losing his partner… so I think Chuck will somehow indict Kim, cause her to get disbarred/be humiliated, it will be Jimmy's fault and that will push him into becoming Saul.
Yes, it feels very safe - compare to the Sopranos where there was no moral high ground in Tony Soprano's actions, yet he was the one we were rooting for. Saul's actions are a lot less severe than Tony's, yet I get the feeling they thought they needed to spend 3 seasons humanizing him/making him a victim of an evil…
So here is my critique:
I get the symbolism of the batteries (Chuck and Mike both handling/using batteries for their own purposes). But I'm getting impatient. I'm not really all that into retconning Breaking Bad (look! that's why Mike and Gus use those tracking devices!)
I thought that when she was fussing over the word document, it was she was deciding whether or not to deliberately insert some wrong information to atone for what Jimmy had done to get her the case. Seems like that interp is off - she was just being a perfectionist.
So… my only nitpick…
Why didn't Supergirl post a video blog?
Couldn't Supergirl have uploaded a Youtube Video and said "Hey everyone, this is what's happening, warning…"
Ya think?
The bedroom sketch was the best of the night… "you need some tutoring"… "yeah, because I have a learning disability"….
OK, I was really hoping she was President Prince, and indeed she really was secretly Wonder Woman.
The payoff could be in the season premiere we finally meet Penny's mom (attending the ceremony) - if that's the case - that would be worth the delay.
Its too bad BBT isnt on ABC - they could do a Shark Tank crossover with the three guys pitching their idea (disastrously).
I am kind of hoping they do a BCS parts 1 and 2, 3 seasons of Part 1, showing how Jimmy became Saul, then a rise from the ashes seasons 4 through 6 set in Nebraska where he resurrects himself (maybe the heat is finally off, etc)
I suspect we will find out that Jimmy didn't take the 14K from his dad - that dad got into a load shark or gambled, and that its Chuck who is blind to the bad side, not their dad.
I never liked the "hedging" by giving a full extra cast of people a tryout as featured players - that's why you make the big bucks, Lorne, to sort that out before we have to see them.
Zamata - toast - she doesn't fit in w/the show's sensibility (in a bad way)
Bennett-Mooney - I'm all for weird - I'd give them another…
Everything wrong with SNL can be summed up in two moments from this show:
***Louis CKs monologue is the funniest and edgiest thing on SNL in a long, long time. The kind of gasps from the audience are precisely the kind of thing that should happen every week.
