re: Better Call Saul Season 4: Begins Monday Night on AMC

Hate to say it, but BCS either just jumped the shark this episode. Or set up a historic facemelter extraordinaire.

Kim’s character as they’ve preached it so far just wouldn’t do the career-ending Lubbock con for 13 foot more bank square footage. No way. No how. And she especially wouldn’t of done it that well either.

Chips are on the table. I guess we’ll see.





Anyways. The one really cool thing though was how they full-circled the Season 1 first ever episode. Where Kim was smoking a cig at rock bottom dark basement of parking garage waiting on Saul who’s in a temper tantrum.....

Think back to it. Then notice this time she’s smoking a cig waiting on Saul who’s having a tantrum but this time she’s waiting on the UPPER level TOP of a parking garage.

And he tries to cut her with dig about going up in her sky office. And she cuts him with throat slash about “You’re always down.”

So there’s the symmetry there and it also explains the underpass parking garage lines at copier store and where he sold cell phones in the ghetto and under the overpass picking up trash for community service and etc and etc the fricker was always always always under an overpass. It was always there. TOLD YOU!!! (But Nobody listens)

Anyway, the name spray painted on the underground rock means “farewell “ in German.

Seems too obvious that it only means farewell for the German that skipped town to see his wife of 26 years. ( give me a break. Nobody gets homesick over a wife of 26 years)

So I think maybe Kim and Sauls trajectories are complete.

Not saying we’ll get resolution in last episode, but something is going to happen. I just don’t believe the writers of breaking mf’ing bad are going to make us watch a whole nother season of Kim and Saul breaking up,

Kim r.ip.? or shark jump?

Stay tuned

I just caught up.

1- It wasn't 13 more sq ft. It was 13% more square feet. So probably another thousand square feet. And she wanted to do it because she got hot and horny playing dirty with Jimmy in the last episode. She's always been hot and horny for bad Jimmy. Remember all the episodes where Jimmy is just being a common schmuck (from Kim's perspective), asking about White Heat and whatnot... Kim was bored, no sex scenes. It's only when Jimmy is being bad that Kim gets wet for him. This is her affliction. From my perspective, this isn't a surprise. This was predictable.



2- Nacho is up shite creek.

3- Denial from the BAR because he refused to mention Chuck is consistent with the ongoing theme from day one. The irony is that Jimmy was 100% sincere by not mentioning Chuck. It will only be when he insincerely talks about Chuck that the BAR will deem him sincere.

4- You can't blind cameras with a laser pointer like that, and just walk out, holding the laser point directly at the camera as you walk. Unless he had an accomplice do the camera blinding. Hmmm. I think there's more than one laser pointer.

5- Don't overreact to Kim getting talked down to by Jimmy. Jimmy was upset, understandably, Kim won't hold it against him. She really does love him. As seen in their last scene. It keeps getting said that Kim is all Jimmy has.... but that relationship is symmetrical. Jimmy is also all that Kim has.

The whole scene was a bookend to their very first episode together. It was the exact same scenario ….cigs, Jimmy tantrum whining, cool Kim and all.....but replayed on the upper level of a parking garage this time as opposed to the bottom level of the parking garage in season 1 episode 1.

There are no coincidences.

Who knows.


Great show, but waiting two years between seasons is getting old. Makes the snail crawl pace of it even more frustrating too.

Not to mention, it's suppose to be a prequel, and the characters are going to be another decade older than they were in BB soon. Huell Babiknow doesn't even look like the same person.

And I get it that Kim enjoyed pulling harmless hotel bar cons on greasy salesmen with Slipping jimmy...…..but give me a break.

This show is notorious for being painfully slow. Everything takes forever to build and to unfold. But I'm suppose to believe honest Kim Wexler who worked her way up from the mailroom and cries at Chuck letters has turned into Better-Call-Kim over the summer?

---

After sleeping on it, I woke up with the same conclusion.

This con wasn't like the others.

The bar con was an a-hole who kinda-sorta should have been conned.

The Huel thing was in defense of a guy getting unjustly punished.

This thing with the blueprint office, and the way she did it with the fake kid and fake injury, very sleazy. And for purely selfish reasons.

That's not the character they built for three and half seasons.

You could also look at it like she's still not built. It took 4 seasons to get her to this point, where she has the classic midlife crisis situation going, got everything and all the success she ever worked for but still not happy, searching for variety, going to the courthouse to watch trials, fricking around with Jimmy's BS, searching.

Hmmm....

The ending is official... DBA Saul Goodman.

Kim standing back like a China Doll.

Mike murdered a man because Gus said so.

Cartel War is on.

Hamlin is dangling on a $20k check for a bullshite library.

Werner's speech was basically the entire theme of both franchises though, btw. Just with "v"'s and "w"'s swapped out


Once you cross a "Line". You can newer go back

I don't put too much stock into that. Like when they did the toothbrush split screen, all the squee about how they are through.

After the appeal, at the end...

She was shocked to hear Jimmy didn't give a shite about Chuck. He says "Those suckers believed it!" and she realized she was one of those suckers.

But that's not a deal breaker for Kim. For months she was wondering why Jimmy wasn't grieving. Now she knows.

That doesn't mean she's done with Jimmy.

That's just my opinion.
