Trivia
This is the only episode where Sally and Fuches appear in the same scene, though they never interact.

Goofs
Barry walks into a supermarket and buys lots of guns including an assault rifle and a shotgun. That is not possible in California since he would have to pass a background check which not only takes a week to complete but also includes taking the applicants' fingerprints which would reveal Barry's true identity to the authorities.

Quotes
Barry Berkman: [last words] Oh, wow.

The Hollywood Critique

My reading on the Barry series is it's a deeply critical observation of the shallow self obsessed nature of the industry that made this series.

It accurately depicts the players who create fiction from reality at the expense of those around them.

Gene and Sally personifying this and the final movie twisting the details for 'entertainment' value as so many real films have done (Argo, King in the Carpark, Zero Dark 30, etc etc), it's self critical and self referential. Barry's religiousness and how he selectively chooses his inspiration and truth was a welcome late arrival parting shot critique that also delivered insight and laughs.

The crime stuff is played for laughs and mostly delivers.

How do you end a complex series like Barry? This episode and the last4 did feel rushed. Ultimately I'm not blown away by it but it was not disappointing in a Game of Thrones way. It did land and the series as a whole was outstanding tv comedy drama.

The cinematography was next level. Well done Team Barry.
