You guys did a great job of explaining why I have been so mixed on this series since the break. It felt like all the conflicts have been resolved in episode 8 and 9, and the only purpose of the Gene timeline was to create new conflicts, which doesn't feel right this close to the end. Also, I can't shake the thought that these episodes would have been so much better if they did the break after episode 9. I know the break wasn't even planned, but these episodes feel like their own thing, and physically separating it from the rest of the show would have made them make more sense. Like its own miniature series.

I don’t know if I have lower expectations for the show or if I’m just on a different wavelength than you guys, but I was surprised by how lukewarm you both were. Some things that really rubbed you the wrong way, like the “Lalo” call-out, barely registered for me. It just felt good to see more connective tissue. And as someone who has lived abroad for a stretch, I really connected with Jimmy’s urge to hear something—anything!—about how the old crew is doing. It was equal parts humanizing and pathetic, how desperate he was for any scrap of banal info about people he really didn’t really have any emotional connection with when he was around. Maybe most of all, I think I don’t mind these episodes as simply “epilogue”, if that’s all they are. BB and BCS both have a novel-like quality to them that I’d argue permits them some leeway from the traditional TV/film formula that basically requires the “final episode/act” to be a cathartic crescendo of all that came before. It wouldn’t shock me if Gene had a long-game in store (he’s clearly begging to get caught in the final scene of this episode, IMO). But it also wouldn’t shock or bother me if this is a repeat of BB, insofar as that show had its emotional crescendo with “Ozymandias”, and BCS may have had its crescendo with “Fun and Games.” We’ll see soon I guess… (and just to say it, great show as always, you two!)

I was pondering last night whether it’s best to think of these 4 episodes as a coda!
