    He’s going down. This was the beginning of the end.

    Did people not realize that his partner that Don Elladio and the Sallamancas murdered in BB was his “partner”?

    As the term is defined, last night was not a 'bottle episode.'

    Bottle Episode is a production term for a limited in scope episode that can be cheaply shot.

    He'll have to bring the cinnamon rolls a couple more times, but his security guard friend will awkwardly not want to talk to him after he made it all weird. So he won't have to do that too much longer.

    Understood. I was referring more to the fact that I think it was limited in scope.

    I don’t think we’re returning to the black and white world again, except maybe for the last few minutes of the finale.

    That last scene told us all we need to know about him as Gene and how the rest of his life plays out. He has to come to grips with being a Cinnabon employee who cannot buy those suits and cannot risk pulling off heists anymore. This last one assured him Jeffy won’t squeal.

    Well, then call it what it was
    Like I will call it a piece of masturbation. Meaningless Jimmy manipulation of people while relying on tenuous action sequences straight out of an action movie that ultimately means little more than a single statement.

    Jimmy can't give it up. Is there a 2x4 to the head emoji?

    I’ll forward those notes to Michelle MacLaren right away, sir.

    That struck me as it was going on, too. I thought it was fairly brilliant and had a double advantage -- buying time and paving the way to a parting with the guard.

    I don’t think this was the last Omaha episode. Didn’t Carol Burnett say she’s going to be in “a few episodes”?

    I think she’s going to be the reason Gene’s cover gets blown.

    Oh, entirely possible. I didn’t hear that from Carol Burnett (who remains delightful every second she’s on screen.)

    Two thoughts:

    —I am open-minded and optimistic about what is coming in the remaining episodes
    —If we don't see Kim Wexler again, the whole series is crap.

    It was in an interview with Vanity Fair.
