I get that Vanya has the self esteem of a rubber ducky but ....not believing what her sister said about Leonard? I didn't think she was stupid. Not even listening to what she said...that's unrealistic for her character. these guys don't have an ounce of common sense, not even combined.
What is that young buck doing with old crazy Darlene. It was utterly horrifying to watch and I am still feeling traumatized.
I was more scared of Jimmy somehow losing the 7 mill than I was of him being shot in the shootout or frying to death in the sun.
Also, as a sidenote, I've heard Kim compared with Skyler and I gotta say I find Kim much more likable. Just as I find Jimmy much more likable than Walter White. And that adds to my enjoyment of the show. I feel for Jimmy in a way I didn't with Walter.
Another great episode. The first half was especially rich, with lots of Jimmy/Saul stuff.
I noticed Jimmy did NOT mention Howard offering him a job to Kim.
Michael Burnam on truth serum gas is my everything...
Anybody else worried Dexter will be the first to go on Harrisons table???
"The fight that led to her marriage proposal fundamentally changed — or maybe just broke — something in Kim. Now, she just wants Jimmy, and will keep making concessions to allow the relationship to continue." -Rolling Stones review
You can say that again! Damn Kim is turning out to be loyal. I was in awe of her during the last part. She's amazing!
It's weird to see Jimmy thinking so slowly and being so impaired. I'm used to watching him perform the impossible, and doing it with cheerful enthusiasm. This was the origin of bleak black and white Cinnabon Saul. Enjoyed his scene with Mike, his bitter "I can't believe you're the one I have to talk to about this." His inflection said so much; his castigation of bitter grumpy Mike. He doesn't want to be a survivor like Mike- he wants to be the special saviour to his clients, thriving; the caped stuntman, the flying acrobat.
This felt like a Breaking Bad episode. Which is thrilling but in a lot of ways I've grown to love this show even more than Breaking Bad.
It would have been interesting to see Walt deal with Lalo as Lalo has all the elements that made up a good enemy against Walter.
If Chuck had still been around- well it might have been a saving grace. His absence becomes even more vital.
A nice mirror image ending to how season four ended, (Kim upset at the idea that Jimmy faked emotion at the Chuck hearing for his license reinstatement) but with the roles reversed.
Not Elliot! They can hurt anybody except Elliot!
Enjoyed the light supper with Mr. Hargreeves.
A good setup. Can't wait to see how it all shakes out. And I think Number 5 is the right choice for main character that brings the group together.
Diego wanting to stop JFK's assassination has me thinking he either will cause it or he ends up being the shooter.
Enjoyed the Klaus scenes.
The scene where The Professor was telling the story of his dad was powerful, nicely done.
Asher is the worst. And the worst snitch; he's all "hey y'all remember when we killed all those ppl together?"
I forgot they killed that many people.
Bye bye Ben. Nice knowing you.
Why is Laurel freaking out about her kid possibly seeing blood? This isn't Dexter, where he was at least 2, and locked in that room for days with a dead mom and pints of blood spatter. And it's not like Laurel is some super attentive stay-at-home mom. Someone please shut her up.
Nate was always the good one. Why'd they have to go and turn him into a killer.
"I stopped tracking what was possible a looong time ago," -number 5
Just like the books. Finally.
Another brilliant episode! Jimmy was damn sleazy in this one while Kim was trying to follow her moral compass after having strayed close to the edge. As @AndrewBloom said, "Kim’s plan reflects who she is." That intro with little Kim refusing to get into the car with her drunk mother was so perfectly on point.
I'm a bit surprised Jimmy is being as careless as he is in his relationship with Kim and is it realistic enough. I can understand being reckless when it's just him, but he's now playing fast and loose with Kim's life and her trust in him. I was a little caught off guard when he broke his agreement with Kim in this episode, no matter how dizzyingly clever his shenanigan was, for I think Jimmy cares about Kim's trust more than anything else, but the question remains, will he only realize that when it's too late? And we already know the answer there having seen Breaking Bad.
Love this show, but they are over-estimating how much I care about Laurel. Doesn't help that she's been really annoying all season long.
My favorite characters rn are Annalise, Frank, & Connor, in that order. Then Bonnie, Oliver, and Nate, who I pretty much like the same, just depends on timing.
Also, how can I have feelings about Laurel's brother when his character was introduced last episode?
Sometimes I think they never should have killed off Wes.
This was like saw, but better. Or it was as good as Saw was at the time it aired, just appropriate for the changing times.
The using switch phones to turn Huel Babbinah into some small backwater town in Albuquerque's version of Santa Claus has got to be one of my favorite Jimmy schemes to date.
I'm on Marty's side- his wife's actions feel risky.
Excellent episode, and fitting for the hundredth.
Reign and Mon-El AND Ben Lockwood return! That was really cool. I've missed Mon-El.
Nice end scene with Supergirl dropping the villain word in front of Lena.
That part with Eve and the telephone salesman selling windows might have been my favorite part. Plus Eve flipping out while Villanelle is all calm.
Did Villanelle consider that a mercy killing? Even her mercy is merciless.
That was a crazy long monologue Jane gave in the middle- I think that's the longest monologue from her we've ever heard. Also the longest TV monologue I've heard from anyone. I kept waiting for Alba or Xio to do something or to say something.
Gina looks more in shape then I remember from season 4- it's probably all the work she did for Miss Bala.
And Liz screwed things up for Red again! my anger at her in this episode was red hot, even if foiling him was inadvertent. But she blasted the alarm, so what did she think was happening. And shouldn't she be celebrating now that he is sentenced to die, instead of acting torn up?
One thing that keeps this season really interesting is that, for the first time, Red is not 3 steps ahead of everyone else. There are secrets in motion that he's unaware of. Watching him on death row will be kinda interesting- I think liz will prob try to get him freed.
I hope Red is still suspicious of Liz despite what Dembe said because she had guilt oozing from all pores during her courtroom speech.
This has some big names in it; Gillian Anderson and Joe Carroll from The Following. Too bad Carroll doesn't have a larger role. I want to see more from him than the occasional Skype with his son.
The dad has a point about his kid needing to toughen up. The dad isn't as anti-gay or anti-drag as was initially shown; he just doesn't want his son to experience a more difficult life.
Who asked for another standalone monster of the week episode this close to the ending?
Literally: no one!
Anna Taylor played a delightfully mischevious Emma.
There was a nice amount of tension to not knowing what happened with Iris. But we will need to understand how Iris and her mirror self are different, and if they're clones, doppelgangers, or whatever. Mirror Iris seems to love Barry, or it's a superior to anything acting job.
Not really jiving with the Allegra scenes, I feel they haven't justified her presence enough.
Favorite moment: "Banana! Banana! Banana!"
My synopsis: John Gilbert from Vampire Diaries raids the library. Robin Hood sends the Centurians on a mission that later involves a fairy. The moon must be moved. Julia makes a fateful choice about her boyfriend. And Fogg finds his sock after attending a Magicians Anonymous meeting. Last but not least, Eliot feels that Robin Hood can see into his soul.
