The whole deal with the Cartel twins threatening Mike's family makes me realize he must have really enjoyed putting down the second twin when he was in the hospital after the shootout with Hank

Wow. I forgot about this. Great callback.

Season 2 ended so abruptly, I kept looking for show 11 on the DVR and then I was like, I'll be damned.   :confused: :dunno: :curse: :confused: :dunno: :Ugh:

Yeah, that was awful. How many times did we need to watch Mike disassemble a gas cap? Did we need to watch him eat peanuts? The best scene was the opening scene with "Gene." Of course twitter is falling all over its non specific praise of this dull ass episode. As far as I can tell the only specific praise was for buggin out from Do The Right Thing showing up on the preview for the next episode.

I liked Mike figuring out what happened and his subsequent trap. Cool spy stuff.

I liked Chuck plotting his evil scheme against Jimmy and bringing Howard into it. What a bastard. What is he up to?

I like the relationship between Jimmy and Kim and how you have to wonder how hard she is going to fall. Wow, I feel bad for her.

I think the scence with the Air Force guy was supposed to show an aspect of Jimmy's continual transformation, but didn't completely work for whatever reason.

I enjoyed the episode. There may not be tons of action in the same way as BB, but there are a lot of tense moments. I know what happened to Jimmy/Saul and Mike, but there is still a lot to be determined with characters like Kim, Chuck, Howard, etc. After last night I'm most concerned for Ernesto  :ohno:

That said, the Gene in Omaha scenes to begin each season are probably 3 of the top 10 scenes in the series. The opener last night was terrific.

WC does that after every episode (yet continues to watch). So if you liked the show before, his reaction is probably pretty meaningless.

It's extremely slow. I continue to watch to hope it picks up like breaking bad did.

It's not the same style of show, dingus. It's in season 3. I think it's pretty clear what type of show it is.

This show is great.  Some people just don't have the patience to let a story build and play out smdh

Sorry guys. I didn't realize this show meant so much to you. Will think twice before sharing my opinion next time.

Wacky, you're good, don't let the stans get you down. That episode was slow, each of the first three seasons started out slow. Gilligan can do this because the BB stans will let him do whatever he wants and will chalk it up to art. 70 minutes for what little plot development happened was absurd. We already knew Chuck recorded Jimmy, of course he was going to use it.

Finally watched the episode on DVR.  I enjoy the slow burn.  There are quicker ways to tell the story and there are a 100 shows that will take the quick way, but Gilligan has built the credibility to move slowly and he is going to use it. 

I get distracted by my phone through most shows.  I binge watch seasons and fast forward commercials to get to the payoff.  I enjoy that BCS slowly builds tension throughout the episode since the tension that used to exist during breaks and between episodes doesn't exist much anymore.

Mike's plan of shooting the shoe filled with drugs was a little ridic.

You shouldn't have done that. It built well.
