The show is about a bunch of kids growing up way too fast, I guess they need to find that balance between them fighting for their lives but also learning how to grow up somewhat normally, and these ‘feeling’ scenes are how they do it.
But agree maybe they could do with a tad less.
anything worth getting apple tv+ for a month or two for?
Severance
Plenty there for a few months. My rec’,
Ted Lasso and Trying (for light comedy)
The Mosquito Coast (drama)
Prehistoric Planet & Long Way Up (Doco series)
Foundation & Invasion (scifi)
I’m about to give “Black Bird” a start.
I was watching The Good Place on the weekend. I love it.
Better Call Saul returns tomorrow night
I binged the Lincoln Lawyer on the weekend. Wasn’t expecting much but quite enjoyable by the end.
Also having a go at Killing it. I think this style of humour will wear thin pretty quickly.
I enjoyed the Lincoln lawyer too.
To get back in the mood!

RIP Lalo you magnificent cold blooded evil bastard
Quite the episode tonight!
Also, can I have a clue how to not write spoilers like everyone does! Keen to discuss ep, but don’t want to ruin it for others
Type [,spoiler] at the start of the paragraph, and [,/spoiler] at the end without the commas.
Feels like the cartel side of the show is pretty much over - everyone has been shuffled into their starting positions for BB. They even let Gus give that bitter monologue that he won’t get to say when he poisons all the cartel bosses in Mexico.
Still quite a bit of ground to cover on the Jimmy / Kim side of things, although Howard being buried in the super lab might be both the physical and metaphorical end of the ‘legit’ law side of the plot.
Plus how much time will we spend with Jesse / Walt, or even black and white Gene who hasn’t been sighted since last season?
All excellent points. It’s actually exciting not knowing where it is going.
I saw some criticism that the Gus Lalo scene was too obvious. But I think it was great in that there was no twist - which was actually a twist in itself. We are conditioned to expecting the unexpected so to get what we thought was happening was enjoyable.
Thanks Jez. Pretty much agree with what you wrote. There are 5 eps left. There is a fair bit of fallout from this one in the next ep I would imagine. What happens to Saul and Kim from that??? We obviously don’t see Kim in BB, was she off screen or not part of his life? There will be a BB crossover ep as we know Cranston and Paul are back in it. And obviously Gene story needs to get tidied up. With hopefully Kim as part of that (they can’t kill her off, it would shatter me). Such a great show, have not been waiting for a show to come back for a while like this one. Also, last nights ep was the one where Odenkirk had the heart attack whilst filming. Apparently they filmed 70-80% of it before it happened and he came back 5 weeks later for the last bit.
Interesting
I probably would have a heart attack if Lalo killed someone in front of me, forced my wife out to do a hit job and then tied me up
Poor Howard
imo they will do the cruelest twist of the knife from a TV show since the wire finale showed Dukie becoming a junkie, and Kim will either get killed off or end up calling on the services of a certain vacuum cleaner salesman - Jimmy is still too far away from becoming Saul for her to be secretly around during the BB era.
I think Kim might need a dust filter for a Hoover Max Extract 60 Pressure Pro
It’s good, yes. I really enjoyed the first few seasons of the walking dead too. It just went on for far too long. Hopefully they don’t make the same mistake with Stranger Things.
Id be happy to oblige
