A lot of people will hate this episode. I'm reading 'filler' 'the fly of better call saul'. I think the issue is, that we just finished the BCS timeline. Major deaths and important plot points. And when it's time for Gene, it's too slow and different from the rest.
If this was released as the first episode of season 6, people would think 'Wow! Amazing episode, intriguing, mysterious, Gene is back! Etc. Also, they teased Walt and Jesse would be coming back for "a few episodes". The show is coming to an end. People were hyped for 2 iconic characters. Not this week tho.
Well, now we know what Gene has been up to, that he's still Saul and the question remains; What will his fate turn out to be?
I don't mind this episode. Wish they released this one sooner. Or had episode 11 aired as well tonight. I get the frustration, but a solid episode that answers some questions. Sets up nicely for the Gene timeline too.
