They should have dropped the different timelines idea

While an innovative idea at the time, once they ended the pre BB portion (with Howard getting his brains blown out and Lalo getting buried in the basement of the lab (which felt like Breaking Bad), they had no idea how to tie up the post BB line, which was never terribly interesting to begin with. IMO, they should have minimized the post-BB stuff (or dropped it entirely) and put more effort into the pre-BB stuff, which overall, was pretty good. I think they just bit off more than they could chew with the multiple timelines.

It was awful and they clearly had no idea what to do. It was basically just filler until Saul got caught and the way he got caught was just ridiculous

He was clearing trying to get caught at that point. Whether he realized it or not

I agree with that, but the fact that a 90 year old woman who just found out what a computer is had the intuition of Sherlock Holmes was just ridiculous. Especially when she just found out her son was arrested

That I did find believable. I know many people in their 90’s who spend hours in front of the computer. They established from the start that Marion was sharp as a tack.

Now get the hell off the boards.
