glad to see others confused by Jeff....maybe they should have done a "the character of Jeffy is now being played by" type thing at the beginning like they do in soap operas. lol

Of just wore a nametag the whole time.  Ha!

No one mentioned Carol Burnett?!

Buncha young whippersnappers, the lot of you!

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".  

Great read. And she’s 89! I hope I have her faculties should I live that long. 

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.

yep...licking his fingers every time, same cutting, saves the center for the last bite

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?

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

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

it fired....he emptied it into Lalo

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.
