    She's the best!  I wonder if that episode will be the only one she's in.  Looked online and I couldn't tell.
    I still think there's going to be a final Gene ending.  I also wonder if Jeff's "bad crew" he hung out with in ABQ will come back to "visit".

    I liked the episode, although the recasting of Jeff really sucks. The other guy was menacing, in your face, and ender control.  Couldn't tell if he was going to shoot saul, arrest him, or hug him.

    This actor and character was like a puddle of shit.

    I rarely criticize this show, but that was a miss.


    I also thought maybe the episode would have been fine early in season 6.  Maybe even the 1st or 2nd episode.  

    Loved some of the little details.  Like how he had to kind of fake his way through conversating about "the game", and by the end, he had studied precise information on Nebraska football.  The specific way that guy ate his Cinnabon was great as well.

    That was a great episode. I've always loved the "cons" in this show. They're always shown in such detail. Im a little thrown off by the placement of this episode. I guess it was necessary to show how he handles Jeff so he can stay in Nebraska. I hope this has a bigger place in the story and that's not it's only reason to exist. And it was unfortunate they had to recast Jeff. A little confusing at first. 

    Another episode that's hard to 100% judge without seeing how the rest of the season plays out. But I have complete faith in the writers.

    good point...maybe zoom in on the Jeff nametag when he gets out of the car.  Honestly I wouldn't have remembered who Jeff was anyway

    Just watched the first episode of the final stretch. Wow that was intense.

    I am avoiding reading any comments in here until I am caught up so I guess I won't see the answer any time soon, but I thought Gus' gun never fired? So how did Lalo die?

    The biggest issue was the recasting and that the new actor played Jeff in a very different way than OG Jeff. Here's the first meeting...that's not the character we see in Nippy

    The first time I saw that scene, I too didn't think Gus got any shots off.  I rewinded it, and you can def see multiple mussel flashes coming from Gus.

    Same.  It turns out that he just fired them off so quickly and kept pulling the trigger, it was hard to tell.... which was really well done

    was that the first time? There was another scene where Gene leaves the hospital and Jeff drives him. He notices Jeff staring at him in the mirror and asks to be let out. Then the cab just sits there awhile.

    Yes, he drives him home from the hospital but they don't interact other than Gene asking him to stop and let him out.
    That scene in the mall is when we really meet Jeff.
