While I agree with some of the reviews questioning the necessity for this episode and calling it a filler. It I saw it differently. What I imagined is that this storyline and episode shows just how incorrigible Jimmy is and that no matter how the final episodes turn out, that we still know that he will forever remain the dirtbag that we've all come to know and love.

A lot of people will hate this episode. I'm reading 'filler' 'the fly of better call saul'. I think the issue is, that we just finished the BCS timeline. Major deaths and important plot points. And when it's time for Gene, it's too slow and different from the rest.

If this was released as the first episode of season 6, people would think 'Wow! Amazing episode, intriguing, mysterious, Gene is back! Etc. Also, they teased Walt and Jesse would be coming back for "a few episodes". The show is coming to an end. People were hyped for 2 iconic characters. Not this week tho.

Well, now we know what Gene has been up to, that he's still Saul and the question remains; What will his fate turn out to be?

I don't mind this episode. Wish they released this one sooner. Or had episode 11 aired as well tonight. I get the frustration, but a solid episode that answers some questions. Sets up nicely for the Gene timeline too.

Spoiler free.

They did a great job tying up a loose end from I believe last season. It's a very slow burn episode and I know people will want more to happen in it but I feel a break was needed from all the carnage of prior episodes.

Going to be polarizing for many people. Some will love it and some will hate it.

Can't wait to see what happens with 3 more left to go.

When I first realized this would be a gene episode I was not Entirely sold, having not cared that much about his previous appearances. The rest of the episode, however, proved to be one of the best in the show and I loved every minute once I was used to it.

This episode contains one of the most nerve wracking sequences in the whole BBU and I was on the edge of my seat for at least half the episode.

Spectacular episode that's just the kind of fun stress inducing hijinks that make this show so amazing!

Obviously, this episode is meant to show that "old habits die hard" and as Chuck said, no matter what, Saul is gonna always be Slippin' Jimmy. But I'm just confused as to why they put this episode after the previous ones and as the 10th of this 13-episode final season. I guess it makes sense that it is after the episode where we take off from the Better Call Saul timeline and jump to the Breaking Bad timeline, but I just feel like this was an episode that should've been. It makes sense that it's here, but feels like it shouldn't. Or maybe we're just expecting to see WW and Jesse again and see big surprises, that's why this episode didn't hit as hard. Nonetheless, it was a good episode.

Anyway, I thought the episode was really fun to watch, especially at the beginning, guessing what Saul is doing. My first guess was, "Is he trying to slowly murder the security guy with diabetus?", then it got more clear what his plan was as it went on.

This episode had some really good tension that also had hilarious moments in them. There is also a good ol' BCS style montage in here too that I really liked.

I'm not denying that this episode felt misplaced or that people won't feel like it's a filler, and I was a little confused on the ending and was expecting more too, but I think people are really overreacting with their 1s and 3s acting like this is the worst they've seen and every episode should have a major character death to be a "masterpiece 10/10 episode".

Enjoyable episode nonetheless, a little confusing, but enjoyable.
