the new episode didn’t show up last night smmfh (HBOmax via prime)

hopefully it’s up now
Did for me

I never use the medium I register for HBO through though. I've had HBO via YoutubeTV and now Prime and I always register it via the Max app so I don't have to wait til it drops on Prime or YTV cuz that shyt be acting funny.

He was a contract killer from cleveland then he went on to be a killer in hollywood trying to act and then he ended up in jail. Now he got a family and a house. Yes, this is the most content we have seen him.

The white broad has had her own show, and was even offered a good deal to be a mentor for a big movie franchise..she then left with him instead :mindblown:

I mean this broad has been miserable since season 1. She also jealous that her ex-assistant is doing it big now.....and i don't buy all of this comes from "Barry being the only person that shows her affection".
It's not just affection, remember in the season 3 finale she killed the guy looking for Barry. She is now a murderer, she probably has no idea who she killed or the reason why he was looking for Barry. All these guys looking for Barry and he always ends up living. That's why Sally said she feels safe around Barry. She doesn't know if her life is in danger but Barry will keep her safe

Nah, when BB had episodes with no gunfights or explosions, cats would be I the thread calling it filler.

@hex

Facts.

Also:


I saw Vince Gilligan and the writers at a thing and said, ‘Man, I really feel like I owe you a check.’ And especially for season one. There was a joke that people were calling [Barry] Breaking Good,” Hader says. “On a personal level, I visited the Better Call Saul writers’ room way early just to be like, ‘How do you guys do this?’ And so I just watched them hang out for a day. I also hung out with Vince off and on for a couple weeks, and we got along really well. I never watched a lot of television, but I did watch Breaking Bad pretty religiously. So, I was a little self-conscious about [the Breaking Bad comparisons], but I also think that as the show has progressed, it’s become its own thing.”

My only issue with the time jump is that we missed out on some resolutions or conflicts that I looked forward to. Gene shoots his son and we don't see what happens. We can presume the son died, given that Gene fled the country, but that's such a character altering moment I'd want to see it. Then you have Jim Moss outside of Sally's apartment. Barry is certainly skilled enough to exit the apartment without being seen but given his mind state I wouldn't be stunned if he simply walked out the apartment's front door and got spotted. I suppose we'll know soon enough whether Moss is alive or not, since Gene's return will likely spark him returning to the scene (if he's alive).

I think a lot of people hate when these type of shows reach this point. It's entertaining and fun when the main character is "winning" - getting away with things, overcoming hurdles, killing threats to himself/family, etc. But this show has always been about consequences, and the end of S3 and all of S4 have taken that to another level. He was down, bad. And the time jump shows him getting what he wanted, but no one is happy. They're miserable. And at some point it really seems like all this shyt is about to fall apart. I don't think he'll die, but I think he will lose everything.
