  1. Obi Wan sneaking Leia out in an oversized trench coat right before that was comically bad
  2. So Tala is “whispering” to Obi Wan with multiple other Imperials around her, then knocks out another officer who questions her and lazily hides his body where others can easily find it. Then when Kenobi is trying to sneak around he’s half out of a window when the storm troopers walk by and they somehow don’t see him. This show definitely holds true to cannon by reinforcing how utterly inept the Empire is.
  3. To be fair, that’s been an issue since ROTS when he watched Padre give birth to Luke and Leia. He didn’t suddenly find out of her existence in this show.
  4. I agree about some of the questionable plot holes and Reva not being a great character. However, given the context of the story it makes complete sense for Obi Wan’s character to be in his current mental state. His entire family that he’d known for almost his whole life was almost completely eradicated with the help of the apprentice he had trained since he was a child. He then had to confront and (from his perspective) kill the boy whom he’d developed such a strong connection with over the years by dismembering him and watching him burn alive. The empire hunts down anybody force sensitive and kills them or turns them into Inquisitors. Then in this story, he finds out Anakin somehow survived being burnt alive and is on a mission to find and kill Kenobi. With all that in mind, it makes sense for Obi Wan to be shut off from the force and suffering from severe PTSD in the story.
  5. They’re basically following The Dark Knight Rises storyline. Hero who’s been out of practice is reluctantly pulled back into the game only to get their ass whipped by the villain. So I’m guessing the rest of the series will be Kenobi regaining his force capabilities and either holding his own against Vader or straight up beating him but sparing his life in a rematch. I wonder how they’re gonna tie it up where Kenobi can return to Tattoine to watch over Luke without drawing Vader there. Maybe Kenobi somehow fakes his death?
  6. I like Hopper and all, but the Russia storyline is a drag. The California group would be more bearable if Argyle wasn’t around. Vecna is a really interesting character and adds a lot more layers to the story than just the demogorgans or Mindflayer IMO. The ending of episode 4 was really well done.
  7. Considering how much he seemed to struggle even to save Leia when she was falling, it’s safe to say he’s rusty. I mean he hasn’t really used the force in 10 years. That’s why he kept telling Bail Organa he’s not the man he once was. Of course peak Kenobi could take the three of the Inquisitors on at once and win. I mean, he defeated peak Vader (at least physically) but they’ve got to make it somewhat evenly matched. I’m guessing he’s gonna gradually regain his powers throughout the series leading up to a potential showdown with Vader. Obviously at this point he’d be no match for Vader.
  8. Obi Wan pulled a Heisenberg in Tuco’s office with the spice and I love it.
  9. What the actual fuck. Charge those motherfuckers as accessories to murder
  10. As much as he was referenced in Breaking Bad, he was only on-screen in one episode and that was the one when Saul and Walt use his services at the end of the series. He wasn’t even on-screen when Jesse initially called him before he realized Walt had poisoned Brock and left to beat up Saul.
  11. Heck, if the room had windows like I’ve read elsewhere, there’s alternatives if you can’t get through the door. This just reeks of selfish cops not wanting to put themselves in harm’s way. It’s disgusting.
  12. Was that the scene they were filming when Odenkirk had his heart attack? I could’ve sworn I’d read somewhere that he had been on set filming a scene with Patrick Fabian, Rhea Seahorn, and Tony Dalton the day it happened. Either way, everything about that final sequence in Jimmy and Kim’s apartment was incredibly well-done. Jimmy and Kim’s reactions to Lalo were perfectly done. That’s gotta be the most gut-wrenching death scene in this universe since Andrea got killed in Breaking Bad. Both had absolutely no skin in the game and were killed simply for intimidation. This was even tougher than Hank’s death because his was largely a result of his own hubris. Howard was wrong place wrong time and was the only morally good main character left in the show.
  13. By splitting it they can be considered for two different Emmy award cycles.
  14. Now it feels like they’re setting up for Kim and Saul to accidentally overdose Howard with the drugs from the Vet. I feel bad for Howard so I hope I’m wrong but it certainly doesn’t look good for him right now.
  15. I stand by my prediction that Kim is going to ignore anyone following her since Mike said not to pay any attention to his guys but will end up ignoring Howard’s PI instead and get caught doing something illegal
  16. He did but that must’ve fallen through because a month or so later he announced SMU and had deleted all references to Tech
  17. I’ve been rewatching Breaking Bad the last couple of weeks and I noticed he was wearing a clip-on tie in Face-Off too when he changed outfits to go confront Hector
  18. Mike told her not to pay attention to his guys if she sees them following her and to just go about her business. I could see a situation where Howard has his PI follow her, she assumes it’s one of Mike’s guys, and proceeds to do some of her shady shit she’s been up to in order to dirty Howard’s rep which would then be used as evidence of her plot to take down Howard.
  19. I mean, theoretically it could happen between when Saul is kidnapped by Walt and Jesse and he thinks Lalo is still alive and when Gus kills the cartel then tells Hector that the Salamanca name dies with him.
  20. I feel bad for Howard. He really doesn’t deserve what Kim and Saul are doing to him. I still think the situation is gonna escalate way too much and Howard is gonna end up being killed with Kim being held responsible. I’m starting to really wonder if the Lalo storyline doesn’t get wrapped up until Breaking Bad timeline. I think we’re only two episodes away from the end of the first half of this season which is when it would make the most sense for them to make a time jump to the Breaking Bad timeline, especially if we’re gonna have a couple of Gene-centric episodes at the end too. It’s gonna be interesting to see how they thread the needle of tying up all the loose ends without making it feel rushed.
  21. Jonah goes from “going legit” to murdering someone with a shotgun in roughly 10 minutes. Sounds about right for Ozark.
  22. Didn’t Hector refer to Gus/Pollos Hermanos as the “Butt Brothers” earlier in BCS? I vaguely remember something along those lines.
  23. Yup. And I imagine Kim is gonna bear the brunt of the consequences, too.
  24. I think Cliff Main is definitely onto Jimmy. He snuffed him out pretty quickly when he pulled a George Costanza in season 2 to get himself fired so he could still receive his bonus. I figured that scene with him and the guitar after he finished meeting with the Kettleman’s was him remembering Jimmy playing bagpipes in his office as part of his scheme to get fired.
  25. Or she cons him and hangs him out to dry which just leaves him totally jaded and would explain why his attitude is so different in Breaking Bad. Or something bad could happen to her and he fully embraces the “Saul Goodman” persona as a way to cope or honor her since she seems to be pushing him that way this season by encouraging him to get a showy car and a new office that is a “cathedral of justice.”
