I love how each season opens with a black and white peek into the present, where Jimmy/Saul is now Gene, working at Cinnabon.

Last season's opening was particularly stunning, like a brilliant little short film. While "Gene" was lying there after a heart attack, the song playing is The Ink Spots "We Three", which perfectly mirrors Jimmy/Saul/Gene's sad existence.

"We three, we're all alone
Living in a mem-o-ry
My echo, my shadow, and me

We three, we're not a crowd
We're not even company
My echo, my shadow, and me"

Those are great. I wanted to do a "Gene Scene" recap, but they're even more layered than I realized. It's ironic that his life as a Cinnabon manager is just as bad (if not worse) than his life would be in prison.

The last one was almost an episode by itself. I think it ended with a cliffhanger, where the cab driver (who seemed to have a connection to Albuquerque) was staring daggers at Gene in the rear-view mirror.

Gene got out of the cab and walked away, but the cab didn't move.
