I really liked it. They're tying a bow on this universe and that's one more last con for Slipping Jimmy.

I suppose. It was a great fun episode, but did little for the arc or plot foe the show.

Literally only said, a Zebra doesn't change his stripes. Literally the shirt Saul was looking at in the end.

Saul/Jimmy is what he is. There's no changing at this point. He still wants it. He still got it.

There is no way that's the end of the Gene timeline

I'm not saying that necessarily. Referencing the full BB/BCS universe over the next few episodes.

The outro will be enough for him to rant for at least a page.

Not really much to discuss with this episode besides Jim O'Heir's impending heart attack.

For the Final Four...kind of disappointing and bland.

I don't think it sucked.

But considering the anticipation that's been built up heading in to tonight, it was pretty disappointing.

I enjoyed tonight's episode. Yeah, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting but I thought it was entertaining and I have enough faith in the writers to be able to wrap up this show in three episodes. They deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Probably didn't help that almost everyone was expecting Walter and Jesse tonight but if you look past that then it was a fun story told tonight.

I think this was kind of the point of this episode, too. Vince letting us know we don’t have it figured out.

Did the writers purposely want us to think Walt and Jesse would be on the show tonight for some reason and then not have them on the show ?

I thought it was odd that PG and VG went out of their way to let everyone know they were going to be in tonight’s show . When they have been very secretive about everything over the years

Is it possible that they won’t be on any future episodes and all this Jesse and Walt talk was just a diversion or sorts ?

BB/BCS always have a setup episode for 3 to 4 episodes of chaos.

The lesson to learn from tonight was that scared Gene just got his Saul swag back.

The fact he planned a heist makes me wonder about those diamonds. I don't think we'll see a diamond heist, but tonight may have explained it.

Walt was referred to in this episode.

So that is probably what they were actually talking about while concealing a smirk.

My small gripe is with the new guy playing Jeffie. He wasn’t aggressive like he was in the mall scene when he recognized Saul; this version is just a gullible putz.

The episode was fine. It was extremely tense for the last half hour.

The only thing odd was the placement. If they were gonna jump out of the time line to wrap up that loose end it feels like it would have been best served earlier in the season.

Anyone else recognize him as the Jacksonville Jaguars GM in the Kostner movie Draft Day?

Where did they actually say they were going to be in this episode? If they did, I missed it.

I enjoyed the episode, only aggravation is when an episode ends
