I have to say I enjoyed everything except the unnecessary James Bond-esque PG-13 shootout.
I let my mother shoot a scoped 5.56 rifle for the first time this summer, and even she could hit a target as large as Hank from 50 yards.
If it was pistols only, it would have been much more believable. But even then, odds are someone would have gotten lucky at some point.
It kind of painted the story-line into a corner for me.....both Hank and Gomez have to either be killed or wounded (Gomez most likely first, I assume), or it is basically a cartoon. So why leave the cliff-hanger there?
At least when Gus walked out of the room with the cheesy CGI eye-ball, it was intended to be funny/unrealistic.
The series has been so great that I will be glued to the TV next Sunday, trusting that one of the best shows I have ever watched didn't jump the shark in the home-stretch.
