Yeah, the ages don't bother me other than Mike. He's really starting to show his age. An almost Deniro in the Irishman vibe.
He always looked really old to me, but i get it yeah.
A bit of a shock to go back and see him in Breaking Bad though

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Wow. Amazing episode. Had all the similar tension of a good BB episode.

That was my thought, too. But usually when I think I know something, it doesn't happen.

Amazing. It was well on its way already but I think tonight cemented the show’s place as an equal to Breaking Bad.

I would've never imagined that Gus got his "fear is not an effective motivator" thing from Mike. That's one thing I'd considered a bit of an inconsistency with Breaking Bad Gus. Glad they addressed it.

Jimmy regurgitating Mike's speech about choices to Kim, but getting it wrong, gave me serious Tony Soprano / Dr. Melfi vibes.

Holy shit, so much in one episode.

Rhea deserves an Emmy.

My heart started beating fast when Mike called in a panic. I thought he was def gonna take Lalo out.

So if I've remembered things right, we've got one more episode this season and 13 more next year (covid-dependent). That's quite a bit of time to for Jimmy to get over his ptsd and to get things square with BBS1E1.
