Jimmy's unconvincing dialogue and the cliffhanger everyone saw coming from a mile away.

Yeah, Mike's scene was definitely better.

The cold open was probably the best part of the episode

It's another flash-forward to post-Breaking Bad. Flynn White (formerly Walter White Jr.), now the president of A1A Carwarsh International as well as a best-selling author, is on a book tour promoting his new memoir Under Heisenberg's Shadow. We see him signing autographs at a Barnes & Noble at a mall in Omaha, when he very abruptly turns to the camera and says "I feel-- I feel like s-some, some breakfast. Muh-maybe some... Cinnabon." He winks at the camera and the scene ends.

It's gotta be Fring. Maybe he didn't personally leave the note and the stick, but we know his past with Hector. I think it's safe to assume he's been keeping eyes on the Salamancas and has noticed Mike watching them too.

I'm pretty sure it was Kaylee Ehrmantraut that left it.

I watched the season finale again. Can't believe how badly they dropped the ball.

it doesn't wrap up the season's themes, it didn't resolve most of the conflicts, and Kim (the season's STAR) was barely in it

I loved it. Great ending, cool cliffhanger, and yes, michael mckean rules.
About Mike, that was weird....who is behind the note?

In some respects it was my least favorite episode of the series. The mike in the desert scene, while tense and well shot, was the first time the show really felt like it was holding the "we know you know what might happen here..... Nope!" over our heads. We're all waiting for chuck to be out of the picture, jimmy to be saul, kim to be gone, etc- Things we KNOW are going to happen. But it hasn't manipulated us. This episode felt like it was trying.

I have no problem with the finale. Quite enjoyed it. Just bummed we have to wait a year for it to start again. Probably my favorite show on tv right now.
