My dad is still into the show so that's a good sign to me, I missed the last 2 episodes but hopefully will catch up this weekend. I loved this season through the first four episodes so hope it's kept up.
Thanks for the clarification, as I was a bit stunned because these last two episodes are easily the best of the season. A lot of 'fan service', two terrific flashbacks, and some brilliant story telling with their tie ins. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I just finished episode 5 a couple minutes ago, and had to respond to this. Nope, not disappointed in the slightest. I'm about to start episode 6 but want to share fresh thoughts before seeing what happens next.
Starting off with a 'behind the scenes' opening with Saul in his office during the end of Breaking Bad (that would be during what episode... Granite State, probably?) was awesome. Possibly my favorite opening of all BCS's seasons, because I knew the significance of that scene. Bob Odenkirk just melts back into the role of Saul there and it's easy to see it happen during the episode as he slings burner phones on the streets. Also, those kids who mugged him are assholes, I was so mad when that happened.
Seeing Gus and Mike lay the foundations for Gus's hidden lab - YES! I loved that this was a thing. I always wondered during BB how the hell that came to be and when it started, and BCS has been doing a great job giving some backstory on BB while being its own thing (bringing in Gus, the Cousins, Gale at his old job, the building of the lab).
Kim is a great lawyer and person in general and I kind of liked that she hung up on Mesa Verde to help her client but she definitely earned that scolding when she got back. I don't want anything bad to happen to her but of course I can't shake the feeling something is gonna go down.
Howard looked like a total mess at the end, too. Did Kim scolding him mess him up that badly? Wow.
Here goes episode 6. I love this show so much.
