Yeah like that's going to work perfectly.

I hate to ask this but why Ruby she fill a bucket of water up and throw it near the dead body? Did I miss something?

I think I'm out. I usually try to stick with shows but this one has been too much of a disappointment. I watched one more than I wanted to as it is trying to give it a chance. If it's gotten good reviews, then well, it's just not my personal cup of tea. I was curious to see what was said here last week but never thought to check the comedy section.

Most of the time, the penultimate episode of the season in BB seemed the most compelling, so I was ready for this episode to not feel like episode 5.09 did. However, I was not expecting Kim to break bad worse than Jimmy/Saul. I was a little shocked at that. I'm holding out that she was just trying to shock Jimmy but probably not. When Lalo was up at 3AM seemingly waiting, I suspected that he was the one who made the call to Nacho. Or had it made. I actually suspected that when Nacho got the call. Further scenes proved me wrong, but I was not very happy with the whole Lalo escape. I was trying to remember a situation in BB where the not Walt or Jesse bad guys had a miraculous escape and can't. Not that anything Lalo did was that miraculous. It seemed more like those guys Gus thought were impeccable were in fact peccable (lol). At any rate, it was disappointing. IDK how Nacho thought he was going emerge from this blameless even if it had worked. But now things look pretty grim for him. I feel upset over how long it might take for the final season.

So I was just rewatching the episode and picked up on something I don't think has been mentioned. When Lalo goes to visit Hector he tells Hector he will watch out for Tuco when he gets out to make sure Tuco stays clean. We know from BB that clearly, Tuco does not stay clean. This could be a clue that Lalo is going to be killed. Jimmy does reference Lalo in his debut in BB but just because Jimmy doesn't know he's dead doesn't mean Lalo isn't dead. Of course it could mean nothing but why set this up and say these things if not as a clue Lalo dies? I feel like everything said in the Hector/Lalo visit is important. I can't wait for next Monday.

One thing that struck me even during the scene was it would've been pretty difficult for one person to push that car over the cliff. So, how were they going to spin that part? Bullet holes aside, unless Lalo believed Kim's story, it was clear there were more people involved. I once read that children of alcoholics (or I suppose drug users also) were very secretive because their family usually hid things from the world. So they are use to projecting a fake persona to the outside world and having to cover up for loved ones. Her life with Jimmy is all Kim knows. She's comfortable with the life she knows. And for however messed up it is, they love each other.

I hate lying too. I don't understand the complacency over lying. I didn't catch what was in the picture that made Elena mad either. And I was watching it on a regular TV. I was hoping someone here would tell me.

So much this. They could've tried a little harder to make her art interesting at least. You can't always hid behind saying if you don't like an abstract art piece then it's on you because you just don't understand it.

Same here. I've watched the whole BB series at least four times with the exception of The Fly, which I managed only once and only after my daughter insisted I had to see it. In contrast, I really enjoyed Bagman. I loved the BBness of it.

To me they seem like they have. Everything she does seems more pronounced IMO. To the point of being distracting.

Far and away my favorite episode of the season. I was about to stop watching and it takes a lot for me to do that with a show I've invested in like I have this one. I love slice of life things but this season was getting to be too much, or too little I should say. I loved everything about this ep but especially the scene of the groom singing Tom Waits' Martha. It's one of my all time favorite songs.

Thank you. That explains a lot.

Wow, am I ever glad that is over. I did like the interaction of Ambrose and Jamie as Jamie was dying. He at least had someone who understood him at the end. He was horrible in that he murdered people, but he was a compelling, tortured character and they showed that well.

My mom is in end stage Alzheimer's right now and she has aged significantly more than she might have due to the physical manifestations of the disease. So Rebecca could be about right the way they aged her. Also, there's a lot of talk of what Rebecca wants but that is what she wants right now (or what is current in the storyline). I'm from a medical background and have spent quite a bit of time around cancer patients. I can't tell you the number of times I've heard people say, If I had cancer like that I wouldn't do chemo or radiation. I'd just live out my life. Well, sometimes that is true. However, in my experience, when actually faced with the diagnosis and when push comes to shove, most do chose treatment, despite it sometimes being clear that it won't cure them and they will likely have a rough go with the treatment. When faced with sure death, people want to try, no matter what the cost. It's a whole lot different than standing on the outside making those observations. My point being despite what we know from the flash forwards about how Rebecca deteriorates, as time goes on in the current storyline she may become desperate. Maybe Randall does know more what's best for her than he's being given credit for. In addition, of the three of them, if I had to trust my future well being to one of them, I'd sure as hell choose Randall. Because he's always shown up.

I'm white too and I have to agree with both of you. I feel like Randall is not being cut the slack he deserves. He has plenty of reasons to be the way he is. Plus they really are trying to make him unlikeable IMO. Or at least they are pushing the image a black man has to maintain to be as accepted as a white guy even with lesser qualities. I'm still hanging in there with him but here's the thing (below), and something that is probably going to piss off some people. (Full disclosure, I haven't finished this thread but I knew I'd lose these posts if I waited to finish and I'm a really slow reader and I really did want to comment on this.) I've been thinking this for a long time but haven't mentioned it. Here goes: This almost seems like some sort of social experiment. Here we have three arguably equally flawed individuals. It seems to me that, so much like life, the tall, good looking white guy gets cut more slack than he deserves while the black guy and the overweight woman get piled on almost like people are waiting for an excuse. Okay, have at me. Sorry if this has already been brought up.

Well, it's certainly hard to tell what it is IMO. I think she triple or more exposed it to create kind of an abstract photo. The only reason I think it's a vagina is Mia talked about photographing one or some of them. Then after that book club meeting about the Vagina Monologues Elena wanted to buy it, acting all brave because of the content.

I know this is a sensitive subject but she looks to me like she's gained a lot more weight. A lot more. I agree they might not be showing her because her weight is not stable and they don't know where she'll be toward the end of the series.

That part confused me too. I thought it was the big picture she had hanging on the wall of a vagina (I think - it's hard to tell what it looks like). Another thing, even if she sold the print of herself pregnant, unless for some reason she sold the copyright too, she has the negative. She could print another one. Even in 1997 🙂 I guess they're just doing that to make it more dramatic. But it's poor writing for something so obvious without explanation. FWIW pictures taken in a public setting are fair game to use and sell. However, I'm not sure that picture she took of Elena in her car would be considered in public.

I don't either in this show. She seems like she's snarling at people when she disagrees/fights with them. I can't tell if it her portrayal or the way the character is written but it's not working for me. I feel like there's something missing.

I actually thought the same thing. They were probably just playing us. But...

I felt like there was one backstory too many for me. I could've done without the Madison's Dr's story. However, the cheesy worked for me tonight. I felt like Kevin telling Randall that bringing Randall home being the worst thing that ever happened to him was way too far. That's brutal shit that can't ever be unheard. Nobody deserves that IMO.

I'm actually surprised they brought that Frankie is a boy thing up because they seemed to completely drop it. It's been years ago IRL, but I don't know how many years for the actual character since it was mentioned.

This! This was exactly what I was thinking when I saw it. I've probably seen the full BB at least four times, but I've only been able to watch the fly episode once, and that was on second or third viewing of there entire series. My daughter made me watch it then. It was the only episode I ever skipped. I had the same uncomfortable feeling during Gus' fryer scrub obsession. I'm not sure why but it stands out to me.

It was particularly powerful for me right now with the coronavirus lurking and my age and underlying health problems. I actually still like Randall. I get why he's like he is. I think they're doing a good job of not making it black and white. I thought this was a really good episode. They tied it all in well and we got a little more insight into what Rebecca and Jack were like together.

I agree with the comments here. I thought the ending was very poor, except for the actors who did their best. I'm really sorry I stayed until the end.
