yeah, and it kinda got weird at the end too.

BCS could end weird too. it's hard wrapping up shows properly.

It's especially tricky for BCS because they have to give us two endings that feel right: the Jimmy story where we see him off to become BB Saul, and the post-BB Gene story.

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.

1. Nacho does some amazing face acting when Lalo returns to the car from the retirement home. He’s staring out the window, at peace, perhaps dreaming of a better life. When Lalo returns, he comes back to reality, his face doing a great job of showing the emotional transition.

2. There’s an exterior shot when jimmy leaves the courthouse, and we see a couple of young skateboarders monkeying around in the background. Cool little nod to how far Jimmy’s come since the first episode.

Spoiler: show

One other remnant of the previous episode "Bagman" just occured to me, and BB and BCS have never shied away from double meanings -- both for episode names and for character names.

A rough translation of 'bag man' into Spanish = bolsa/bolso hombre.

Sure enough, the man behind the trouble in the episode was Sr. Bolsa.

Another iteration 'bagman' (one word) translates to 'cobrador', meaning collector or cashier -- which is another trait of our Sr. Bolsa.
