People are complaining a great deal about the change in Jeff, but they're forgetting the power of perception. Jeff wasn't really that tough just like he wasn't really that tall when leaning over Gene. Once Gene decided that recognition alone is not death, he moved past it, and Jeff's seeming power dissipated. I'll be really disappointed if he does prove to be Gene's downfall and hope that Gilligan and Gould have something else up their sleeves.

This. I think they changed Jeff's role because of the recast. He was meant to be an antagonist but because of the change of portrayal they made him an idiot fanboy. It's not the first time they do that. Howard was meant to be an antagonist and Chuck a supporting mentor but they changed it when they saw how Michael Mckean played the character

The unseen flashbacks, or as Gilligan/Gould call them "missing scenes", are masterful throughout BB, BCS and El Camino. They have an uncanny ability to take a previously "irrelevant" scene and extend it to add more context as to the how and why. Can't wait to see how (or if) this plays out with White & Pinkman's appearance.

I try to NOT have expectations regarding the actual plot, but I will admit I expected the Gene timeline to maintain a more consistent tone. From the beginning of the series, there's been a very film noir feel to the Gene scenes, with a looming sense of tension and dread. Gene is trapped, paranoid and without hope. Something insane is going to happen. But this new episode felt more like a situation comedy without a laugh track. The entire tone, the music, the weakening of Jeff's threatening presence, and the improbable scheme to distract Jeff from a potentially large reward with some glorified shoplifting, just doesn't match the very real expectations I had going into this episode. At this point I'm expecting only good things from the remaining episodes. Let's hope!

I knew immediately after the episode there would be another “ we’re done “ in your repertoire. Also Slippin Jeffy is a new one

In the last scene in the kitchen with Carol Burnett & Gene, I was hoping Carol was going to drop the sweet little-old-lady routine, and put Gene to the test. Knowing exactly who he was, and offer him an or-else proposition. (The goods Saul has on her son only matters if Jeffy rats.)

I think Jeff coming back would soften the impact of Gene's first (maybe only?) full episode with his first scheme in a long time. I couldn't help but remember Chuck saying people get hurt when it comes to Slippin' Jimmy. Gene was probably sighing in relief he didn't end up killing Jeff in his fall. Last scheme he had with Marco ended in death. Hell, Howard and Chuck died in conjunction of his cons so all the deaths may have flooded back.

Got to say it. Disappointing to have different Jeff actor.

I think this was showing us that he’s still Slipping Jimmy, not fully Saul. That shirt and tie he held up was that of him and Marco’s scams, not Saul Goodman shenanigans. “You’re slippin Jimmy!” - Chuck McGill. The M in HHM.

I liked this episode a lot. It had it's little moments and homage nods: - Jeff rhyming numbers with stolen store articles reminded me of the Dirty Dozen. - I saw the KC bag. Maybe a red herring? - When Gene was pretending to break down, did he say he was 'nobody'? Nice nod to and cross marketing for Odenkirk's recent film. - I think the casting of another actor for Jeff was brilliant, and intentional. Think about it. Gene living a paranoid "fight or flight" existence is identified by someone from Albuquerque. From Gene's scared POV Jeff is the Devil. Once Gene regains his composure and confidence he sees Jeff as he really is - a scared, unintelligent, little pissant, portrayed beautifully by Pat Healy.

While we had extra time between season 5 and 6 to speculate every theory possible to man, it appears the writer's are going with the K.I.S.S method to the story. My takeaway from this episode is to show us that Jimmy's still got it if need be. I trust this will mean something in the coming final three.

Great Episode!

Man, I just love to watch your reviews after an episode! The point I was thinking about the whole time: Why you pull up all this just to steal something that's only worth 5000 bucks. I think Jimmy, or for better Saul, made this amount of money in a day. Now Gene is pulling up a very sophisticated scheme just for that? Looks for me like he's just starting to become a real gangster. You just want more after a thrill like this... It worked one time, why not again and even better? I hope we will see another series after BCS with Gene becoming a Boss!

We were made to believe that Jeff was more of a formidable adversary instead we find out he is more of a putz who lives with his mom. I get the feeling though mom is more of the formidable adversary. She will discover what went down at the mall and turn in her son as a form of tough love. This will be what puts the cops onto Gene forcing him to run, Hence the teaser scene from E11 of the crossroads. Where Gene will make the choice to return to the bad choice road. Per the timeline we are somewhere between Walt's death and the mysterious phone call. I think the series ends with that phone call. That is where Jimmy/ Saul / Gene finally hears Kims voice again and the police catch him.

Honestly I never expected Gene storyline to end with a "fight" with Jeff. They wanted to close it before the last episode, to focus on something more important.

Gene is at a critical decision point to choose his path for life: (1) Go backward to Saul Goodman, or (2) go forward to Kim.

I have been a HUGE admirer of this entire BB/BCS ether…but I cannot pretend to like what they did with Jeff. Just as much as I didn’t like the fact that Lalo and Nacho didn’t have any type of encounter after season five. And I don’t have any ideas as to how an encounter between them would’ve been well written…but I believe that how Lalo bullied Nacho and as invested we all were in Nacho…that encounter would’ve been massive.

They did nothing with Irene knowing Jimmy and his scams. Thought she would speak up in the meeting when Howard mentions him. They didnt do anything with Jimmy blurting out Lalos real name to the lawyers either. Who knows

When did Lalo ever bully Nacho? Gus bullied the hell out of him but Lalo always treated him as a respected subordinate.

I don't buy the scheduling issues with Jeff, it just doesn't add up, I don't see how they couldn't fit in a week of filming at some point to accommodate this, the original Jeff was intimidating and the new one is a complete spaz I have a feeling it didn't work out with the first one playing a spaz.

He could probably fit it in chronologically, but my understanding is that it was a contractual issue. In other words, he'd signed to say he wouldn't do anything else at the same time as whatever it is he's doing instead.

Thanks!

You bectha! Thanks for the kind support!

The first Jeff looked ominous where he could have tied into "b.b." or the "el camino crews." The recast was better for the route they went (can't see the 1st Jeff signing up for that). Its like they changed up the script later on during filming and thus, the character. It just seems wierd but then again, you never know what is going to happen on BCS. Can't wait for the following episodes.

The original Jeff could have worked with a different story line. For instance, he returns and tells Gene that his knowledge that he's Saul Goodman is worth a lot of money to the right people, and Gene says, "What if I could help you make a lot more?" and then the rest of the episode plays out more or less the same.

I thought the episode was filler. Very disappointed with Jeff the Cab Driver's personality being changed (not problem with the actor). I thought it was a different character until I saw this review and found out it was the same.

What could be left on the writing room's floor during "Nippy" episode was finished. My guess is: Well, we have the only one word titled in the entire 6th Season of our series. Well, that has got mean something. So, let's go out on a limb and say we try tying together this episode along with not only what will happen as well as cover things we already have written about previously, great idea! Covering our "loose ends" so to speak. Let's do this, no, never mind. Let's instead title it spinning a fiction about a more fictional non-existing dog that really plays no major part in our saga. Okay and do not forget to sprinkle in sports with cinnamon we love that spicy cinnamon! Great going guys and again job well done. Do not forget security cameras, suits, purses, high heeled shoes, plus counting game and snow do NOT forget snow. And hope the viewer forgets this our very first airing that stays within the Gene timeline for entire episode. End. And funnier even still I liked "Nippy" better than the last few episodes we just saw.

Let's all appreciate how Saul, not once this season, said "You know I never really cared about Kim". Or how Lalo wasn't stopped by police on the first episode because he was driving a bit over the speed limit then arrested for life when they find out who he really is, only to be shanked on his first day in prison by someone not related to Gus or the game. Or that Mike sort of forgot Lalo was going to show up any moment and decided to go on a vacation to Florida, because who has a better story than Florida.

Assuming a premise that Saul never really cared about Kim, to whom would he have told something like that?

I think the new cab driver is proof of the timeliness theory and Jimmy's brother will come back in an aluminum foil craft

Episode 11 is called Breaking Bad !!!

I'm going to miss BCS so much ! It's hard to imagine anything that will come close to it and BB .

Another tight episode!!

Ending prediction: Jeff kills Gene for the reward money. Jeff gets away with it because Gene hid Jeff’s involvement in the mall crime. Similar fate to Nacho, Lalo, Mike, and Walt. The BCS universe is about revenge and the difficulty escaping one’s past. Saul Goodman’s is wanted…dead OR alive and Gene gave sharky Jeff a taste of blood in his water.

Pat Healy was amazing in this episode. For others who enjoyed him, I’d recommend you go and watch Season 3 of Eagleheart if you haven’t seen it. Or even if you have! He is a great foil to Chris Elliott. And you’ll get to see another Sammy Hagar reference. Also note Bob Okenkirk’s involvement with Elliott’s sitcom Get A Life, one of the funniest things in TV history. You’d have to be a regular Quasimodo to sort it all out.
