As many have said, this episode feels like we're watching Breaking Bad deleted scenes.
It's really funny to me to see all the negative reviews saying this is boring or unironically saying "it's 2022 and we shouldn't have black and white". Because I really don't know what people want, first everyone said we need full episodes of Gene, and now they say they're boring? Like do they want at least 1 kill per episode so they don't call it a "filler" and boring?
Anyway, this episode again has some of the best editing and transitions of this show, and these great editings and cinematography help to make the episodes less boring despite what the negative reviews said.
Personally, I would be fine with them not showing Waltuh and Jesse at all. Because they had 5 seasons and a movie to show and complete their story, there isn't much left to show other than these scenes that feel like deleted and bonus scenes from Breaking Bad. It's like beating a dead horse. We've seen everything we needed from Walt, Jesse, Saul, Mike, and Gus, so there's no need to force more stuff in just because.
But they know what they're doing and aren't just doing it for fanservice.
This episode had some great editing showing the parallels between Gene and Saul Goodman, showing that his thirst for Slippin' can never be quenched even after all that happened in Breaking Bad and after every policeman in the states is looking for him.
All in all, I thought this episode was really great and enjoyed it a lot, I don't really know what more people expect from this show, like putting aside how dumb the "black and white hurts my tiny brain" argument for a second, you've already seen that all Gene scenes are black and white, so why do you expect the full Gene episodes not to be? And what did you expect by demanding full Gene episodes that these look boring to you? An hour of him selling cinnabons to the mall customers?
And I personally don't expect them to go full Breaking Bad timeline with it, because as I said, we've seen all the characters' arcs and stories except Gene Takavic to their fullest, so I'm fine if all the episodes are about Gene anyway.
