So...I have to admit that this episode feels a little weak to me as a season finale. At least until the very final scene. I like where everything ended up going, but for a while I was confused at what this was all leading up to, and something about Saul buggering off to Chicago feels like a janky departure from the season's main plot.
As well as his motivation for buggering off back to Albuquerque feeling a little weak. He just listens to his messages and instantly is inspired to go back? Eh, not really buying that.
And the bingo scene felt a little forced to me even if it was pretty funny, but the opening scene was great, the middle part of the episode was fantastic, and...you know what, just assume that anything I didn't specifically mention was great, because it was.
This certainly isn't a terrible episode, because there haven't been any terrible episodes, but I would argue it's one of the worst so far.
The season as a whole though...it's amazing, 9/10. However, I think I'm going to give this show a break for now, there's something else I've had a huge urge to revisit for a while now...
