TV: Better Call Saul

[Mecca]

artistic close ups and finding the most complicated way possible to say the simplest things

More, more, more of this forever please

For real; it’s literally giving color to an otherwise black and white world, similar to what I think, based on the advertising, the show will end up doing with Gene if he in returns to being Saul/Jimmy.

Harmless must be stopped

[Stickman]

those two drinking wine looking at HHM sent serious vibes of ¨i wanna burn this place to the ground¨

I had "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" going through my head when I watched that scene.

[Ms Harmless]

Harmless must be stopped

I can NEVER be stopped, only... something that isn't "stopped" but maybe dampened at times

[Stickman]

Can someone just spell out their angle with the judge? My watch tonight was interrupted like eight times bc my kid refused to go to sleep.

I don't think they've fully revealed it yet. We'll find out next week

yeah, all we know is that this judge will be the one presiding over the Sandpiper case.

jorge gets it

[given2trade]

hopefully there's an upswing in the last half

i'm guessing Monday's episode is bananas and the 2h is bananas on crack

it seems they plan to either discredit or leverage him with photos of the lookalike actor doing something shady

[Mecca]

The establishing shots in this show are something else; the shopping cart camera was a nice touch

[Jorge]

Spoiler: show

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[The Argonaut]

that is a bullshit move and I do not like it

[Jorge]

I loved it but I hated it

Gotta see how they handle the aftermath but I can see how this answers the show's one big question

I don’t see how this answers “will Rhea Seehorn be my wife?”

[Ensign9]

Breathtaking ending.

That said, I think this season has been a very minor step down from the incredibly high standard the show has set. It has a little too much of the feel of the early seasons versus the Breaking Bad stratosphere they reached in Season 5. A few too many plot conveniences.

As seemingly minor as this is, what keeps sticking in my mind is the loosely affixed duct tape on Nacho’s mouth a few episodes back. It didn’t look right. Just a little bit sloppy and emblematic of this season’s overall execution.

It’s still the best show on TV.

[Jorge]

Gotta wait for the entire season to play out its arc before I can rank it properly, but right now I think it's up there with season 5 (largely because of the extra artsy-fartsiness Argo mentioned earlier)

In my recent rewatch I found that season 4 is where there's a noticeable dip; there's not a lot going on in Jimmy's story after Chuck's death, and it's also before the introduction of Lalo injects the cartel side of things with some life

[The Argonaut]

Also of note in this episode: that intense Kim & Jimmy pre-coital make-out

[Jorge]

This was such an evocative little touch



Lalo spent the season so far as a spectre haunting the main cast. He finally makes his apparition and is fittingly introduced with a little horror-movie imagery

[Mecca]

It surprised me that Kim and Jimmy all but admitted to Howard that they did what he was accusing them of. Jimmy saying “you’ll land on your feet” was pretty close to an admission.
