Yep definitely relapse vibes, I can see that! And I have a lot more happy feelings about Jimmy more than Walt in the end for sure, as he obvs didn't end up with the giant list of crimes that Walt had committed. Strictly from the monetary side of things with greed, the late Jimmy era and the entire Saul era was sooo different than Walt and in a way that I don't personally care for. The excess with the decor in his office, his house and everything inside of that, all of his clothes, the car. Saul was incredibly materialistic, showy, and spendy. Walt was greedy in a numbers and "ownership of his work" way, but maintained the outward appearance that a lot of wealthy people do in our real world, where you can't tell by looking at them how much money they have. Walt did have that brief slip-up with that fancy car for Walt Jr. 😅 Anyway the lack of materialism vibes in Walt is about the only thing that I can appreciate about him looking back. 😆

2024-05-10 05:16:16 +0000 UTCGene did live normal life for a while. But after the scare of being found out by Jeff, I look at it like an alcoholic having a relapse. After the call with Francesca, and the muted call he had that we didn't hear, I think he's coping with whatever was said by just returning to familiar territory. Something he can excel at and he can distract himself with. I get what you mean about not rooting for Jimmy anymore with the present period as Gene, but honestly I kinda disagree. I think he's way different than Walt is. He's definitely not innocent and yeah I roll my eyes and sigh at him going back to Slipping Jimmy schemes, but there was a level of greed and evil that definitely isn't present in Jimmy, that was ever present in Walt. Being Heisenberg gave him the opportunity to be the type of person he always wanted to be. Jimmy has genuinely tried to be better, but many people (mainly Chuck) kept shoving this idea down his throat that he can never change and it's pointless. At some point, probably just before Chucks suicide, when he pushed him away, Jimmy picked up that narrative and started to believe it. And he just kept on falling into that pit. Not to excuse Jimmy at all, but I absolutely feel more for Jimmy at his worst than I do for Walt 😅

2024-05-10 01:26:47 +0000 UTCPixelation definitely goes away at smaller sizes that's for sure. I just don't want to watch these on a small screen, LOL! Thank you so much for all the details! OMG BUZZ!!!! I haven't watched Home Alone in a long time.

2024-05-10 01:26:39 +0000 UTCI love all the cameos we get of the Breaking Bad crew. It's a good nod and a bit of a farewell to their characters. It is, of course, the most noticable with Aaron Paul, going from mid 20s in BB to now over 40, but it's fine for just a small, fun scene. Can't wait for the last two episodes! I think they are great.

2024-05-10 00:48:01 +0000 UTCI haven’t had problems with Netflix and BCS but I’ve only been watching it with a small window. The first time I watched these was when the season first aired and I bought it on prime. I see his behavior as a response to the bad call to Kim. Like he tries to reach out, it doesn’t go well so he reverts back to his old patterns. I totally agree about the transitions, especially the one with the grave. Also glad you appreciate Bob and his “wonderful” singing voice. Here are some fun little details for you. I forgot to mention it last episode but this last batch were directed by the “big four.” They are Michelle MacLaren, Thomas Schnauz, Vince Gilligan, and Peter Gould. If you recognized the first victim who was a jerk it may have been from Home Alone. He played Buzz. The song during that montage of the identity theft spree was a test recording for a song by the Monkees. They somehow found this version of that song before it had any bells and whistles added. Then they filled it out a bit because it wasn’t a complete song. Who even thinks of stuff like that? Next level.
