Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

well

Spoiler: show

Cristobal´s end was surprising and im not sure it was something i could predict from Hank. His betrayal seemed very off character so far

[dad]

the thing i keep coming back to re this season is everyone is effing up.

everyone.

no one is safe.

[dad]

also, i might do a rewatch once the series ends because it's worthy of one.

The whole show is about how violence ruins lives.

Agreed

Disagree. He went psycho in the s3 finale. Something broke him when he was captured by the Bolivians.

Spoiler: show

Yes but when his back was against the wall then, he risked his life to rescue Cristobal. This time, he took the path of least resistance then through Cristobal under the bus.

The development that would bring it all in line for me would be if he decides to retaliates against the Chechans, with Barry’s help.

The whole sand scheme was a smokescreen to get Cristobal back to LA and take control.

[Biff Pocoroba]

I didn’t realize the guy the guy Cousineau shot as being his son.
I kinda expected Christobol to get killed there at the end.
I’m hoping that’s not a time jump at the end but I remember the season reviews saying there’s a big narrative switch midway through. Hope they’re wrong but I am very curious how the last four episodes play themselves out. Hader & Berg have done a great job plotting the arc so far.
I’ve mentioned how the show has a binge ability appeal; a rewatch with several episodes back to back could be down the road.

Right, but

Spoiler: show

The way the Chechans were ready to kill Cristobal if he didn’t go along with the takeover makes it clear that Hank was willing to put him in that position.

Hank literally says he didn’t expect that to happen. He miscalculated, because he’s blinded by power and ambition.

[VinylGuy]

the only way i can half believe what Hank just did is because he might be scared of Barry and think he needs protection. But still, very far from what he has done in the previous season.

[Simple Torture]

Real fun show we've got here, now I don't believe in true love anymore.

[Malloy]

season opener was incredible. second and third episodes very uneven. four less so, with some really great moments.

[Malloy]

the more grim the better, says i. comedy doesnt really seem to work anymore here.
