(Just noticed that Wendy already mentioned the framed photo of Janice... Sorry, Wendy!)

Couple of notes... Barry says "I know where I'm going after I die" and then breaks down crying hysterically when he thinks Albert is going to kill him. Barry has seen a glimpse of Hell. That last shot lingers so long and is framed strangely, but if you watch again you can see the photo of Moss's daughter on the right and his head is tilted as if he's looking at the photo. Reportedly HBO has given Bill Hader the green light to direct all episodes of Season 4 and I could not be more excited!

Always amazed at how much is packed into just 30 minutes. Without ever feeling over done. Every episode is fraught. As much as I like Barry, and I agree that he's nowhere near evil... that almost makes it worse in my mind. I mean, even after that shattering moment with Albert... and a deeply felt & insistent 'starting now'... Barry was gonna kill Jim Moss. So, I just don't know. For the rest... I was particularly moved by what seemed like several palpable 'what now?' moments with characters in the end. Hank was triumphant... but that final look seemed to reflect the reality of 'oh shit, what just happened'. And looking thru the window at Jim Moss just standing alone outside after everyone was gone (large photo of Janice framed inside). He succeeded in his mission for his daughter... but now that it's over, Janice is still gone, and he's just alone with her loss.
