For real; it’s literally giving color to an otherwise black and white world, similar to what I think, based on the advertising, the show will end up doing with Gene if he in returns to being Saul/Jimmy.

I had "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" going through my head when I watched that scene.

it seems they plan to either discredit or leverage him with photos of the lookalike actor doing something shady

The establishing shots in this show are something else; the shopping cart camera was a nice touch

I loved it but I hated it

Gotta see how they handle the aftermath but I can see how this answers the show's one big question

I don’t see how this answers “will Rhea Seehorn be my wife?”

Breathtaking ending.

That said, I think this season has been a very minor step down from the incredibly high standard the show has set. It has a little too much of the feel of the early seasons versus the Breaking Bad stratosphere they reached in Season 5. A few too many plot conveniences.

As seemingly minor as this is, what keeps sticking in my mind is the loosely affixed duct tape on Nacho’s mouth a few episodes back. It didn’t look right. Just a little bit sloppy and emblematic of this season’s overall execution.

It’s still the best show on TV.

Gotta wait for the entire season to play out its arc before I can rank it properly, but right now I think it's up there with season 5 (largely because of the extra artsy-fartsiness Argo mentioned earlier)

In my recent rewatch I found that season 4 is where there's a noticeable dip; there's not a lot going on in Jimmy's story after Chuck's death, and it's also before the introduction of Lalo injects the cartel side of things with some life

Also of note in this episode: that intense Kim & Jimmy pre-coital make-out

This was such an evocative little touch

Image

Lalo spent the season so far as a spectre haunting the main cast. He finally makes his apparition and is fittingly introduced with a little horror-movie imagery

It surprised me that Kim and Jimmy all but admitted to Howard that they did what he was accusing them of. Jimmy saying “you’ll land on your feet” was pretty close to an admission.
