    Slow, but smart

    Like Breaking Bad, Vince and Gould hold us out, paining to watch the next one. With high-brass, sometimes too eventuated sequences and compilations of writers / filmmakers getting too hard on their ideas. Overall, I do agree the show is moving too slow for where it is in the story. But I hope what it builds to is worth it.

    Can't wait for tomorrow.

    It's the small things that make this episode decent.

    Better than last weeks but still a slow burner, a few more interesting moments in this episode between characters. A few nostalgic places coming into light just like we saw them in Breaking Bad.

    We are almost at the mid season finale and things are starting to build up quite nicely. I may have detected a little foreshadowing in one of the episodes earlier scenes, it's interesting to think how this will play out for people like Kim. Lalo gains closer and closer, Sauls plan hits some snags and Howard's focus on Jimmy stays resilient. The arc of the series is starting to unfold.

    8.6/10.

    i have a talk to some of you

    I think some of you came to see the series just because of Walter and Jesse. If you started watching the series from season 6, I must say stop right now and do not hit the series any more and do not say filler. Drama for some of you means filler. I'm a fan of the Breaking Bad series. If you really can not stand this series, do not hit. The series grew from season to season, but the content of the drama did not change and remained stable.

    Great episode and the 'calm' before the storm

    Great debut directing episode by Giancarlo Esposito. Not much to say other than it's a really good episode with much to think about until next week when it's D-Day. I can feel that the end is near...

    To the people who are complaining about people "rating before watching...'

    AMC+ is a thing. It releases at around midnight that Monday morning on AMC+ so people can watch it before it airs on TV. I don't know about other TV stations, but mine doesn't have AMC on it so I'm forced to watch this show on AMC+. But I loved the episode and I actually watched it so that's why I'm rating it.

      Kaylee: I think Jupiter is my favorite. Did you know it's the largest planet in our solar system.

      Mike Ehrmantraut: Is it? Bigger than the Earth?

      Kaylee: Uh huh. It's called a gas giant.

      Mike Ehrmantraut: Oh, that's not very nice.

      Kaylee: Pop Pop, it's not that kind of gas.

      Mike Ehrmantraut: Oh. Oh, my mistake.
