Better Call Saul

[MalaCloudy Black]

They're easily like number one and two for me. They bring their own stories to the table but they're both so incredibly well-written and nuanced that they could flip flop between one and two forever (for me), until something better comes along.

So I'm a fair way behind with the show, but we just finished watching episode 5 of season 3 where Jimmy and Chuck meet in court and Chuck has a meltdown and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck what an amazing episode and final scene. Unbelievably good. That's how you deliver a payoff to a long-term storyline.

It is always a pleasure seeing the Kettlemans (mostly Betsy) being put in their place. 

And I never thought that Kim would become the driving force behind Jimmy going full-Saul this season. Can't wait to see their plan backfire spectacularly.

Also nice touch showing us Saul's home getting raided. A bit of a disappointment though that we didn't get a black-and-white present-day-prelude like we usually do for the first episode. Although I'm sure that they will still get to that in a future episode.

So glad to have it back. The end of ep 2 is what I love about this show so much. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's wishful thinking, but

Spoiler

my hope is that Mike's grown attached to Nacho and will find some way to take care of him - not like that - perhaps setting Nacho up with a new identity somewhere as well. The only shitty thing is that since Robert Forster's passed we can't have the Disappearer in an episode.  (though that isn't necessarily a barrier, creative shooting & editing could hide a stand-in, etc)

I just don't want Nacho to die

 

[C-MIL]

Holy shit.

Don't think Nacho's getting disappeared, guys.

Nacho 

Wasn't expecting him to last the season but didn’t foresee him going this early and certainly not in that fashion. 

Episode three spoilers obvs.

[Jimmy]

Spoiler

Yeah, the way that played out was great. Really great payoff, such a well-paced episode and I think it happened refreshingly early in the season.

God damnit. This is Hank all over again

 

 

[Bobfoc]

Spoiler

At least he sort of went out on his own terms. I was worrying he'd get tortured.

I can't overstate how much I appreciate the pacing of the final season so far, which is totally in keeping with everything they've done before, but I think there's always the fear that the road to the end can be patchy. 

The slow burn has always been one of my favourite things about the show and I enjoy episodes like this week as much as I do the much flashier episode 3. I really hope they can keep this up, it's completely gripping and absorbing.

The moment Lalo showed up and I realized who the woman at the bar was my heart stopped and it did not start again until the credits hit.
