This was a fine episode. Not sure why all the bitching. Not much left to resolve at this point.

Not enough splosions and shiny things,I guess.

That’s true. I they do mention that he’s a survivor multiple times. Also I think suicide is an option for how they wrap it up. That would be crazy dark though.

Yep. At this point it’s just what happens to Gene and Ice Station Zebra Associates if they want it.

Also something is up with Kim.

Pretty sure the writers of this show know what they are doing. It won’t be a boring end, come on!!!

Someone else called it in last weeks E10 thread. I could definitely see that happening. They made it look like he was going to get busted at ole cancer patients house, but he might've been back in Carol's garage & she called the cops on him.


Why were they getting out so slow? Surely if he were caught at the cancer guys or if CB called in about some suspicious activity in her garage those two cops would’ve been in a little more of a hurry.

You don’t care about scenes showing how Saul/Gene lived his life post BB in a show that’s specifically about Jimmy McGill?

This is a terrible take.


I don't like onions.

You telling me I should love them will not change the fact I do not like onions.

I’m sure it will be fine, and these writers are top tier, but with a prequel you don’t have a ton to work with, so anyone expecting it to finish like BB should temper their expectations. JMO

Gene is post BB so they have no restrictions on what they do with him for the most part.

Also, there’s no doubt Saul gets caught. The parallel scene of him entering the high school = bad decision.

Yes but he’s really the only character left to work with since everyone else either died in BCS or BB

And Kim is kinda on the sideline now

I don't think so. I think he is just running another scheme for more $ since Francesca told him that the feds took everything else. Not sure what happened with him trying to get in touch with Kim, but his reaction didn't make me think he is still interested in re-connecting with her.


He seemed to have a much bigger need for the cancer guys identification.

Cancer guy is going to die.

He can use his ID to change identities again.

So…while cool, the BB flashbacks weren’t story forwarding. Just “oh so Saul found Walt thanks to Mike”. That’s just 2+2=4 stuff that we assumed happened off camera anyway. Only new thing was Mike telling Saul to cut ties with Walt immediately and well, we know what happened. Guess we didn’t see the part when Mike told Saul to get Kim back in the picture…..

“Who’s Lalo?” “Nobody”. Well that’s the end of that I guess.

I’m assuming either Kim had quit the job in Florida and moved on or the Boss told Jimmy to take a hike. Thinking the latter. The identity theft schemes are designed get heat back on Jimmy so he has a solid reason and more $$$ to call for a new filter and get a relocation to Florida.

If it’s just Carol calling the cops and Gene goes to jail/suicide to end it…Kim spin-off for sure to extend the universe for another run.

Edit: Cancer guy ID theft probably the major possibility to have a “new guy call for vacuum filter” and save some money. It is a major upcharge for a second relocation after all. And he called him a second time already and hung up so a third call would probably be hostile or a instant hang up.

The Walt/Jesse/Mike scenes are basically just deleted footage from the intro episode to Saul in BB. It’s not of course but it’s funny how they kept the ski masks on their heads so you couldn’t see Cranston’s full head of hair and whatever Aaron Paul has for a hairstyle now.
