Red Mosquito

Good ending.

From a big picture perspective, this show got more right than any other hour-long drama. It’s the best non-sitcom show I’ve ever seen.

We all know he can open AND close.

yeah, it was alright. I loved the framing, the cameos, the overall feeling of it.

fantastic. jimmy and kimmy get to see each other every once in awhile for a conjugal cigarette, stay out of trouble, and live happily ever after.

In the moment, I was hoping that shot of them against the wall would be the final frame but the last glimpse we get of Jimmy before turning the corner is perfect.

I feel like BCS is going to reward repeat viewings more than BB. So well crafted from start to finish.

The shot of the Exit sign humming while he was talking about Chuck was a bit on the nose, but also felt right.

now that it's finished I'm gonna go back and watch the season as a whole

did they do good by Rhea?

Rhea or Kim?

I somehow feel that those 86 years were too much. And Kim kinda gets away with it.

Weren't most of those 86 years related to the Walter White involvement? Kim didn't have anything to do with that.

my Rhea (yes, Kim)

I loved it. I almost cried. I think they really nailed it.

So, I was totally wrong in my prediction about what the finale would be about. I thought it would be about Jimmy sacrificing himself to save Kim. Of course that was wrong. Kim had already saved herself. Tell the truth and take the weight, whatever it is. She didn't need Jimmy to save her. The finale was about Jimmy doing the same for himself. Save yourself by telling the truth and taking the weight.

this thread feels sad

It was a sad ending. But that is appropriate. Not a tragedy, just sad.

We enjoyed the sowing, so we accept the reaping

It was also kind of a happy ending, since Jimmy was finally able to pry himself out of his self destructive cycle
