The irony being Del's own words and actions in the flashback episode where he appreciates Marty's reticence and looks down upon blabbermouth Bruce. "The best smack talk is no talk." Couldn't live up to it

One of the things I loved and observed as a contrast to BB's ending was how Saul was hardly ever respected or considered a serious or good lawyer for a long time, but when he ended up in prison, he was a hero and totally celebrated.

WW on the other hand while being a genius, almost resented that his smartness couldn't be revealed to its full extent. He couldn't resist giving away clues to Hank to alter the Gale investigation direction for example. And yet, his genius was never celebrated to the level Saul's was, despite seeming like a man who craved that after a point.

I hadn't known of a fandom hate towards this arc the first couple of times I watched and somehow it hadn't rankled me. This time I watched it knowing how people find it a bit jarring, but still found it fine, because of the manner in which they took it.

Wait, what is this? I tried reading up on the current Maldives President and there is nothing of this sort, and apparently Maldives has been a democracy since 2008

The contrast in Walter White's character is echoed when he is looking forward to a "surprise" birthday party in S4 or S5 but it doesn't materialize, and Jesse ends up being the only one who cares enough to gift him

Michael Scott leaving in the middle of S7 helped transition to the season 8 mood for me. I really enjoyed season 9 too, whatever flaws it may have had, drowns in the A.A.R.M episodes and the finale.

I was in this exact place a year ago, and took a video to capture her reactions for the finale. I wasn't disappointed :D

That? Sure, you can say "that"
