I wasn't feeling the episode before this one, but after last night's episode, I feel like it played off.

seeing Gene's new operation interconnected with his introduction to Walt and Jesse was pretty engaging, IMO, and how Gus' whole operation (and his own life) inadvertantly imploded because of him.

so Mike warned Saul about Walt and look how that turned out.

i have a feeling that scam with the cancer guy will go wrong. it's like the episode was drawing parallels between both scenarios...

I can look past the aging and the deeper voice tbh but I just felt like he was playing a s5 Jesse and not a s1 Jesse. Still great to see them both back though of course.

Liked the episode and finally caught up with this half of the season. Its been ok but the show is definitely missing all of its cast.

My interpretation of the phone call is that Kim said something along the lines of Chuck was right off the back of the conversation they had back in season 2? (I think).

Not too sure how shell appear in the end unless she comes to defend Saul but I cant see her being on the opposite side. She wouldnt do that

Yeah I disagree with the idea Kim said anything negative to Jimmy at all on the call. I think he was yelling at her for asking questions about him, because he knows it'll endanger her.

I think it's the same reason he's "breaking bad" again he's trying to get her some $$.

the money's nice, but i think it's jimmy who wanted to "get into the game" again, even as he was making his speech to jeffy at the beginning of ep10.

and before that his convo with huell, who flat out asked jimmy "why do you do this when you don't need the money?" and all jimmy could do was kind of stammer "well, he deserves it" and even when howard ghot far worse than he "deserved" jimmy put it behind him

well, it gets harder to say that when your current scam is rolling drunks (especially one dying of cancer) for money.

He got away from Albuquerque with more than enough money. I don't think he has any illusions of doing this for any sort of greater good.

Yeah there's definitely an element of him loving the life. Also like Walt in BB he really does it "cause he's good at it."

Feeling very vindicated that I was right about the last shot of the previous episode hinting that Jimmy wasnt going to be able to let Saul go and was going to fall back into his former lifestyle when the vast consensus from people I saw talking about it seemed to be that Gene hanging the shirt and tie up on the rack was meant symbolic of him letting go of the Saul persona and being at ease with just being Gene. Granted, the phone call with Kim obviously triggered things to a big extent, but we are shown from his call right before that that hes already scheming and dreaming of ways he could get back to the ABQ. He was never going to let go of (or be free of) those Saul/Slippin Jimmy tendencies.

The other prediction everyone was wrong about was that the cab driver was going to be the one to drag Gene back into it, but I suspected that was wrong too, based on how his mom specifically tells Gene that he only got in trouble in Albuquerque because of being influenced into it. Now granted most mothers arent going to be like Oh yeah my boy is a real criminal but I think the impression was pretty clear throughout the heist that he didnt have much going for him in the ways of leadership or initiative. That gets confirmed this episode when he tries not to take sides about whether or not they should rip off the cancer guy.

I really loved the juxtaposition of timelines as we see both Saul in the BB era and Gene in the current era face a decision that will shape their future, and the episode ending with the moment where each respectively crosses the threshold into what will eventually be their own downfall.

Im still curious as to what happened with the conversation with Kim that pushed him so rapidly into scamming again (not so curious as to spoil myself, though). My hunch is that whatever it was, it made Gene realize he needed to come up with a lot of cash, quickly. Kim threatened to out him somehow unless he pays up? What if the entire thing with her asking Francesca about him was bait to tempt him into reaching out? I dont know, maybe that doesnt make sense, but they showed him stashing the money too many times during the montage for it to not be significant, imo. He definitely needs that moneyits why he jumped back into cons so quickly, and why he didnt hesitate to rip off the cancer guy even though its obvious he doesnt feel good about doing it.

After rewatching it, I honestly think this is one of the best episodes of the series. The use of Breaking Bad flashbacks were perfectly placed as parallels to what Saul was doing then and what Gene is doing now. We finally got our Walt and Jesse appearance and it was every bit as good as it needed to be. The conversation with Mike and the chance Saul had to let it go with Walt, once again perfectly parallels the current situation (not being able to let it go with the cancer guy) to show who Jimmy really is. He just cant help himself, this is who he is, and using the Breaking Bad timeline to help illustrate that really puts things into perspective. We even got a little bit of closure of some of the fallout of Breaking Bad during the Francesca conversation, as well as a nice full circle moment with the It wasnt me, it was Ignacio line. Everything about the episode was pretty much perfect IMO and acted as a reminder who this man truly is. Hes slippin Jimmy, always has been and always will be.

It doesnt make sense for Kim to bail him out. She walked away because he was toxic. Hes in hiding and now is running another scam. For her, she left that years ago and didnt look back.

Its looking like a not happy ending for Jimmy.

Guessing Marion is going to find out who Gene is. An elderly woman being Gene's downfall would be kinda perfect.

I've given up on the hope that this will have a happy or even bittersweet ending for Jimmy. Not sure if he even deserves it at this point. Will probably end with him in a cell in black and white.

Y'all cannot have honestly thought this ever ended with a "happy ending" for Saul. I've known it'll end bad for him as Gene since the first episode.

Just like BB just because he's the protagonist doesn't mean hes a "good guy"

El Camino had a bitter sweet ending. Jimmy/Gene didn't become completely irredeemable until this half of the season. Or at least we didn't know how irredeemable he was in the BB years.

Eh I kinda always thought he was irredeemable. He's literally introduced as a scumbag "criminal" lawyer, and the BB series does nothing to cast him in a redeeming light. It's only after BCS we see him in any sort of sympathetic light. Plus he was instrumental in helping Walt poison that kid.

Oakley taking over as New Saul felt like a stretch

Bryan Cranston - Looks fine

Aaron Paul - Looks like a grandad

Banks - Looks like a grandad's dad.

I liked the ep but I hope Walt and Jessie do something more. Otherwise their cameo feels pointless if it was just this.
