They seized SAUL'S money, not Walt's. But that still leads you back to the question of why? What evidence would they have Saul got that money from Walt. It was always cash. There is literally no way to connect his money to Walter White. That's my point. There isn't a ton of evidence out there that really connects Saul to Walt. But they leveled massive charges against him. Even connected him to murder! On what evidence?

What money did the DEA seize from Walt? None. Other than the Car Wash, all of Walt's money was cash in barrels. The DEA got none of that. So what exactly are they tying to Saul Goodman? The only real hard evidence tying Saul Goodman to anything Walter White did illegally was the testimony of Skylar, and what did she really know? Not much.

This was my one quibble with the finale. Of all the great writing this show has provided, they really did a bad job of explaining what exactly Jimmy was being charged for and HOW they came to those conclusions. What evidence did they actually have against Jimmy as it relates to Walter White, especially to charge him with so much initially? What could law enforcement have discovered about Saul Goodman as it relates to Walter White? That he was the lawyer used to form the company to buy the car wash? Where is the crime there? What crimes did Saul Goodman commit that the DEA or FBI would have discovered based on the death of Hank and Gomez? I really dont see what evidence they would have even had against Saul Goodman beside, possibly, money laundering. But what was the actual evidence of that? He had a lot of money, yeah, but so what? He was a successful lawyer! What evidence did they have that connected him to Walter White aside from Skyler saying they used him as a lawyer? Walt had mostly cash. Walt had very little paper trails. Skyler didn't know 95% of what Walt was actually involved in, so what could she tell? In regards to the "accessory to murder" charges, which to me were ridiculous. Let's look at the facts: 1) Nobody ACTUALLY knew what happened to Hank and Gomez, they only know that Walt said on a recorded line that Hank was not coming back because he got in his way. Their bodies were only found when Walt gave Skyler the coordinates to trade. 2) Once those bodies were found, I suppose law enforcement could assume Walt killed them, but he did tell Skyler that Hank and Gomez were killed by the men who stole his money. I assume there would be an investigation of the site, which would produce thousands of shell casings and bullet fragments from all kinds of guns, showing something big happened there. I would have to assume Skyler would have passed that information along, which also happened to be the men who came into her house and threatened her. 3) Walt was killed in a shootout with a group of guys who would all have serious criminal records. Search of that property likely turns up a shit load of Walt's cash and law enforcement should start to be able to put together what happened, including who really killed Hank. Shell casings from the burial site are for sure going to match weapons found on that property. 4) Nobody was actually charged for murdering Hank and Gomez. Can there be an accessory to a charge that never happens? That I have no idea, but seems unreasonable. But if Walt is not the killer, how could Jimmy ever be an accessory to something Walt did not do?

Which again, if were actually true, there would be ample records from the Security company showing false alarms. I highly doubt this ever actually happened before, which would blow a hole in her story if anyone ever asked for the company records on false alarms.

I had a healthy bit of skepticism when I first heard about the robbery, but I was willing to give Dorit and PK the benefit of doubt, especially since I kept hearing about how "once we see it on camera, there will be no doubt it was real". At least that is what I was reading and seeing online leading up to the episode release. That said, the episode really only convinced me more that it was all staged by Dorite and PK. Many of the points have already been addressed, but the whole episode really just framed the issue in a way that looked completely fake to me. 1) Dorit and PK take a trip to England, but only Dorit and the kids return. PK conveniently stays behind a "couple of days" for business. Not only does this mean Dorit is traveling 10-14 hours by herself with the kids to get home (a-hole move by PK in itself), but they are now home alone. Quite convenient for the story if its just Dorit and the kids. Becomes much more terrifying and sympathetic of a story. 2) The burglars had all those days Dorit and PK were gone to rob the house, but unluckily just happen to choose the day after she gets back home. What terrible timing for them. 3) But the burglars very specifically chose their house, in the middle of a neighborhood, on a street with plenty of other nice houses. They went out of their way to choose THAT HOUSE. Which means, they knew something about it. Must have cased it. Must have been tracking the movements of the people inside. And yet, they didnt rob it any of the week before when it was empty? Seems strange indeed. 4) The burglars should have CLEARLY SEEN the multiple cameras outside of house recording everything. Whether that be when they were casing the place, or on the night of the robbery. But they didnt care one bit about clearly visible cameras. Those cameras didnt signify any kind of warning to them to not choose that house. Didnt signify an active alarm they would have to deal with. It gave them no pause. They just casually strolled up to the house, right under those cameras, and shattered a glass door. WTF? Really? That is REALLY STRANGE unless they really, really, really, were looking to get caught. 5) Dorits story about someone entering her room was really odd. The burglars went from petty burglars to drop of a dime murderers in a split second. She said one of them told the other to just kill her. Really? That fast, they would escalate their crime from simple burglary to murder charges? For no reason other than a woman was home? Then they leave her the phone? Why, so she can NOT call the cops with it because they already knew she wouldnt? At least not immediately. She gave them PLENTY of time to lug a freaking blanket, not a sack, a blanket full of stuff down the street to a car. That took TIME to do. Time they shouldnt think they have since they just left a woman with a phone. No urgency at all with the burglars once they leave the house. Very casually lugging stuff to the car. 6) The not setting the alarm story is bizarrely convenient. Again, on top of PK not coming home, the burglars not caring about clearly visible cameras everywhere outside, now the alarm wasnt set because her kids wander out the back door at night? Seriously? When you are home alone with your kids, with no husband even in the country. you dont remember to set an alarm that is your only real protection for you and your small children? I REALLY dont buy this convenience. If it was truly just her and the kids in the house, Dorit strikes me as a person who would be scared to walk downstairs in the dark by herself. so setting that alarm would be priority #1 for her at night, alone with her kids. Its just isnt reasonable to assume she wouldnt, especially because she was afraid a kid would trigger it. Is there a record from the alarm company of her kid triggering the alarm, even once, on accident? Because they would have records of that. If not, why would that be a legit excuse? 7) Leaving her kids alone to go to a party. I dont care if this was filmed 2 weeks later, much less a few days. NO MOTHER on Earth would leave their kids alone after an experience like that, for any reason, much less a party with your friends. Any person who would in fact leave their kids alone that soon after that experience, to me, is more than capable of faking the whole thing to begin with. 8) PK going straight to the party from the airport. Ok, we all assume this was staged later for the cameras, but why? It just looks awful, so why even film the scene and pretend it was a day or so later, if it wasnt? It makes PK look worse that he never went home, never checked on the kids, etc. And Dorit went full Ericka with the runny masquera by showing up with no makeup. Totally staged for the cameras. But why? She went out of her way to look like that. Remember, this is the same woman that just left her kids to go to this party, so we are to believe she was put together enough to do that, but not to put on some makeup? I dont think so. Very curious. Anyway, these were things that stuck out for me. The story just doesnt add up. Either it was faked, or it was the most conveniently bad set of circumstances, that all happen to line up perfectly, for her house to get robbed and them to get paid a bunch of insurance money.

This show left logic behind a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago.

This storyline with Spencer and his Head Coach not liking him has got to be one of the dumbest things this show has ever done. First of all, Spencer was an "All American" High School player, thus the name of the show. The idea that the Head Coach of his college team doesn't even know his name is laughable. His Head Coach not wanting him to be there is absurd. Again, he was an All American, one of the best and most sought after players in the country. That Coach would have been ecstatic to be getting a Player as good as Spencer is supposed to be. In addition, if the Head Coach doesnt want a player, or prefers another player at the same position, the Head Coach ultimately makes that decision. There would never be a scenario where a player is brought in against a Head Coaches decision, AND in place of a player that the Head Coach actually wanted. I just dont get why they are continuing this stupid narrative, its laughable. Just to give Spencer another obstacle to overcome? The dead father, gunshot wound, Layla/Olivia, Coop death threats, Beverly break in suspension, and all that other stuff isnt enough. We really have to make the dude's coach not like or want him, or even know his name? Come on...

Geez, this show is a mess! A Graduation episode, really? LOL. Where the heck did that come from? I've posted before how this show was trying to squeeze every last ounce of High School out of these 35 year old actors, but man, they really turned that story on a dime to get them into college ASAP. Gotta love JJ at the end "I dont think I could have done it without you guys". Reallly JJ? Were Coop and Patience really that integral to you graduating High School? Was the QB from Crenshaw a big part of your High School experience? Even Spencer, who you went to school with for about 6 months of your 4 years, was he really that important? Why the heck are you even hanging out with this group, its mostly kids from Crenshaw? Don't you have ANY OTHER FRIENDS from Beverly you might be hanging out with on graduation night? Freaking JJ. And one final thing, what is it with this show and tattoos on their supposed High School students, especially the girls. I mean, I get that these actors are old and have these tattoos for real, but its really weird watching some of these scenes and seeing these MASSIVE tattoos on these characters that are supposed to be kids. I had always thought the Olivia tattoos were out of place with no explanation. Like her parents would really have been cool with that? No explanation. Azures girlfriend had those giant tatts on her arms like she had done 2 years in Lompoc prison. Always seemed so out of place to me. Then I go check out the spinoff that came on after and they somehow crammed that Wide Receiver that Spencer was always battling with over the years into that show. What the heck? Wasnt he some big stud football player going to a D1 school? Now he's at the small HBCU school that cant afford a baseball team? And they just randomly have him pop out of nowhere to help build some shelves or something? What the heck?

Bravo missed a golden opportunity with that cringey Whitney/Justin scene. Instead of going down the completely unrealistic road of two sane people doing that on camera, they should have went with the more realistic reaction. Husband comes home from a work trip, opens the door and finds his wife dressed like a hooker in his dining room, with a camera man filming her doing weird poses. Husband flips out and attacks the camera man, reasonably assuming something adulterous is happening. Perhaps the cameraman is a person of color, so enraged husband hurls some racist remarks his way before the cops are eventually called to sort out this big domestic misunderstanding. Highlight said event all season with small teasers, setting up the epic finale where it all goes down. Ratings go up. Print cash.

So as each episode passes and they lose more and more immigrants, I keep wondering how many of the Cattle are still alive. They dont appear to have killed many for food, but they keep losing people they were going to have to feed. Im actually starting to think the entire Dutton fortune was built on the fact that John and his family end up with a bunch of leftover cattle that the Wagon Train never had to eat simply because they will be one of the few survivors of the journey.

I can't get over this GLARING flaw in this whole Reapers storyline that was played out at the end of the episode. So the whole point of Maggie, Negan, and team rounding up a group and walking all the way to DC and beyond was to go get the food they desperately needed for their starving Group. The Reapers had some massive stockpile of food, right. That was the whole point of the journey! Cut to them winning the battle and collecting the food...WTF? Are you kidding me? They loaded like 5 crates of fruits and vegetables into a wagon and lugged it back to Alexandria. Upon getting it there, Daryl drops half of the apples on the ground, steps on them, and lets his dog eat one. THIS is what they risked (and lost) their lives for? A few crates of apples and onions? Are you kidding me? Come on writers, at least give some kind of payoff to this 9 episode adventure. How about massive stockpiles of food that would last a year, or at least a few months. They brought back 5 crates, maybe enough for one night for Alexandria. I guess that was well worth the massive casualties they took...

If any of you are Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, this episode reminded me of the Avatar episode "The Ember Island Players". A lot of over the top exaggerations of the actual facts for comedic reasons, mixed in with the serious tones of what actually happened. One of my favorite Avatar episodes for sure. Wonder if Lexi got a lot of her inside level info from a local cabbage merchant...

Jimmy was an ex meth dealing knucklehead with very few positive things in his life when Mia met him. Jimmy had finally uncovered a skill he was good at in riding bucking broncos. All Mia did was encourage that skill and encourage Jimmy to take control of his life and not let John Dutton decide what he could and could not do. Mia was really just someone expecting reasonable decisions from an adult. When Jimmy got hurt, she didnt bail on him. She stuck around during a pretty tough time in his life. Then Jimmy left her again because John Dutton made him go to Texas, when Mia simply wanted him to go live a life with her outside of the ranch. Jimmy leaves for a couple of weeks, essentially becomes the person Mia wanted him to be all along, then comes back to Yellowstone and throws dirt in her face before leaving the show. The whole storyline was odd and kind of mean to Mia for no reason. Mia didnt even need to be at the bunkhouse when Jimmy got back. We really didnt need to see Mia again after Jimmy left for Texas. That's my point.

It would not shock me if Jen is calling back on money from her family that she had "dispersed" to them as part of her scheme. One of the ways scammers like Jen launder money is by paying salaries to family and friends. It makes it very difficult to claw back when getting sued. Jen may have been the one funding that retirement Account and now is asking Mom to draw on it for her legal defense. Mom would be insane to give her that money otherwise.

Good riddance to the worst season of this series by far! What a disappointment this was when it started with so much potential. After episode 1 that delivered on the resolution of the Cliff Hanger with the big shootout, literally NOTHING HAPPENED. Episode after episode of nothing, unless you count the massive time spent trying to spinoff two other shows. So many things wrong with this season, but I have to list the one's that really irked me: 1) After the events of last seasons finale with all of the Duttons attacked, we learn who the mastermind was a couple of episodes in and literally nothing comes of that story until the last 15 minutes of the finale. The audience knows what Jamie's dad did, but has to sit there and watch horses do tricks and 1883 segments with no relation to the main storylines for like 8 weeks. 2) Remember when the Cattle Barons were going to back Kayce for Governor? I do. What the heck happened to that? Did Kayce even show up to work as the Livestock Commissioner the last month? The last time he actually referenced that job was when he was terrorizing the CA guy for not letting cattle cross his land. I guess those Cattle Owners stopped being political this season? 3) Remember when Jimmy had a broken back? I do. What the heck happened to that? Jimmy literally had to wear a neck brace until Taylor Sheridan told him he couldnt ride in his truck with it on, so then his neck was magically healed and we never heard about the problem again. 4) Speaking of Jimmy, it's bad enough we had to endure entire segments of Jimmy in Texas for the sole purpose of backdooring another spinoff into this show,but man, we are supposed to believe his couple of weeks there "made him a cowboy"? How? What the heck did Jimmy do at the 6666 that turned him into a cowboy? He jerked off a horse. practiced some roping one night, then started banging the only female near his age within 50 miles, and had a couple of long rides across the plains. Where did all this growth come from? We literally did not see him do anything that would imply growth as a cowboy. And BTW, as much as I disliked the Mia storyline (especially in the bunkhouse), that girl was there for him when he was paralyzed the first time. She nursed him back to health, stood by him, gave him some lovin', and was quite frankly way out of his league. He got over her pretty damn quick considering the Vet from 6666 basically told him that he was the only available male choice around for miles. I guess that trumped getting him through a broken back. 5) Speaking of Mia in the bunkhouse, remember when the Girls all got thrown out of the Bunkhouse? I do. It was kind of a big deal and all with the whole Walker and Wade thing. Like 2 episodes later they are all back in the bunkhouse at night like nothing ever happened. I mean, I get Teeter after pleading with John Dutton, but the blond and Mia were both back in there all the time like nothing ever happened. And why was Mia even still around after Jimmy left? Just so we could see another scene in the finale where Jimmy shits on her again before leaving? WTF? 6) Hey Market Equities lady, what exactly did you hire Beth for? For that matter, what did you fire her for? It appeared Beth did a tell all type interview with a newspaper. but they never really explained it in detail. That couldnt have just been an article about the protest. I never got the logic of bringing in the old lady to hire Beth in the first place, but then she pretty much did nothing all season until coming in at the end to fire Beth. Uhhh, ok, I guess you're a tough old lady? Good for you. Now go do something to improve the story. 7) Does the Reservation folks and Rainwater even care about the Dutton land anymore? Doesn't seem like they are doing much anymore on that front. Does Rainwater even run the Casino anymore? Dude is out more with Kayce doing vision quests or John solving mysteries than running his Casino. I always thought the end game with this show was the merging of the Dutton land with the Tribal people in some kind of alliance through Kayce and specifically Tate as a way to preserve it from Market Equities. Seemed like a natural way to save the Ranch forever but also get Rainwater and his people what they wanted, since the Duttons are now married into and a part of the tribe through Tate. I didnt see anything this season that would lead the show down that path, but maybe I need a Vision Quest like Kayce to see that. This show needs to rethink its direction. Less spinoff time next year, more land dispute drama. Less time with Tate in a bathtub and more about how the Dutton's and the Tribe can outsmart Market Equities. See ya next season...
