That's good news. For my money, Saul's best scene was when he visited Walt in the classroom.
This show is coming to a decent conclusion, but does anyone agree it was a far better show in the beginning?

Also, tonight is the penultimate episode, so in an artistic sense, this should really be the big show, all the major questions answered. Surely, the last episode should put a cap on it, maybe have a twist, and iron out the details, but the fireworks will most likely come tonight. For example, in The Shield's penultimate episode, Vic Mackey went stoolie and Shane offed himself, and the main character's fates were sealed.
I have a feeling BB will not fit this model, and that tonight's episode will bring Walt from his escape to his return, and the big shootout (or not) will be next week.
After which I'll be stuck with Homeland, until Justified is back on. Low Winter Sun is kind of lame, and FX's The Bridge is an embarrassment.

Thanks for teaching me a new word. Penultimate. I had to look it up. I just love learning new words and so thank you!
I thought that there would be more "fireworks" then there were last night. As it was, that Todd killing of Jesse's friend was the one thing that I went "wow" to. The other stuff was just interesting.
Still processing, still in awe.

I wasn't expecting Saul to be running away, either. That surprised me as well.
OK, does anybody NOT think Todd is a psychopath at this point?
I did not see that coming.
