Nacho’s story was so defeating.
Also, shirtless Michael Mando washing off the oil awakened something in me that so few men have.

Let me chud this for you: Yes you can hide in the tanker (and the oil thing was really cool) but that tanker will also stand out to your pursuers as the obvious hiding spot. Whereas with the trees there are hundreds of them. Good luck picking the right one.

all the obvious nit picking stuff i have (the oil truck being the bigger of them) i love this episode because the storytelling always grab me.
I also love how Kim is basically Saul at this point. She is is the one to actually put him in the cartel´s hands.

But you’re backing yourself into a corner with no way out and praying they don’t come inside the tanker. I was surprised he didn’t just run into the woods and keep going.

I guess to me it’s a choice of endless running vs staying put and verifying they’re off your trail.

The walking in the tanker would have been noisy. I believe he coughed when he emerged. Both of those would have been noticed.
Why would he have waited by the truck when it finally died. No rear view mirrors? No one close behind = sprint from truck.

Anyone besides me actually been inside a tanker? Sound doesn’t travel inside or out very easily besides the footsteps on the top

excellently made episode
it's becoming a bit too densely packed crime thriller for me, but I can't fault it objectively and hope for more of the tones I watch it for later

I find it entirely plausible that a human being in a life or death stressful situation made the marginally less rational decision and I don't think that reflects negatively on the show in any way.

I feel the same about "bad decisions" in horror; I think people are silly when under stress

Hector shooting Nacho’s corpse was depressing in a pitiful way

- Spoiler: show
- I thought Nacho was still alive during BB. Didn’t Saul talk to him in an episode?

It's a shame you guys were so hyperfocused on tankers and tape. You missed one of the greatest deliveries of "Go Fuck Yourselves" ever.
"...you think of ME!"
