Rupert Buttermilk posted:Holy poo poo that episode was good. It didn't even feel too short, despite the fact that I could watch hours of this show at once. So much happened, so much was set up. I can't wait for the last 4 episodes. oh man! We've seen huell before from the scene with chuck and the cell phone but not bill burr. Hasn't bill mentioned on his podcast he'd love to go back and work with them?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he did that but someone else suggested it here. I'd love to be wrong, though. Edit: Unrelated, but... https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-recaps/better-call-saul-recap-season-4-episode-5-quite-a-ride-717097/amp/ This describes something I didn't even notice. Jimmy IS going to see a shrink, until he realizes that if Hamlin is seeing one and is still that hosed up, what's the point? Except he still technically needs to see one, despite what he thinks, and the PPD officer plays the role of one, inadvertently. Well done.

She doesn't want or need to disappear or she'd be doing it right then when the heat is on like he is, not months later after she's already been questioned by the cops looking for him. Plus that's not how the disappearer operates. At this point what he was asking her to do for him is supposed to be a mystery.

SeANMcBAY posted:That was a good episode. Pretty tense all around. Curious where they’re going with throwing in a scene that takes place during Breaking Bad seemingly out of nowhere. In Breaking Bad does Saul ever say his real name, Jimmy? I mean I guess it wouldn't matter for her specifically as she been there from the beginning. But I'm curious if there is any meaning behind him telling her to say "Jimmy sent you". NowonSA posted:Howards actor was killing it there, like usual. That little hesitation where he's like "no, I dumped too much on Jimmy before not gonna do it again, let's just leave it at that" was real nice. Fair Bear Maiden posted:It's a thematic bookend. The episode starts with the unceremonious end of Saul Goodman's career and ends with Jimmy McGill first starts conceiving this new career in the first place. These are some good observation didn't catch either. Showing the end at the beginning, and the beginning at the end is pretty storytelling move.

I don't think he ever calls himself Jimmy/James, but it's clearly not a big secret.

Really seems like they’re backing themselves into a corner with the meth lab plot. We know the job gets pulled off and the lab opens without incident (at first) 4-5 years from now. What is there to show us here?

Mike's responsible for making sure a giant back hoe gets delivered underground to the work site and a cop spots it and starts asking questions. Mike's gotta deal with the cop; will he take a full measure and kill him, making it look like an accident? Will he try to reason with him? Will he pull Jimmy in to help him cook up some sort of large-scale deception/misdirect? I dunno man, I'm no writer but it seems to me there's tons of stuff they can do with this!

NowonSA posted:Also Saul is talking about his secretary needing a lawyer and hands her a card, saying "tell them Jimmy sent ya." Could be the first hint of where Kim ends up by Breaking Bad times. Defense attorney maybe, representing people who usually aren't major scumbags like Saul's clients? I don't think so because Francesca knew Kim, she worked for her. If it was Kim he would just tell her to go to Kim.

Yeah the point was to show that Mike and Gus are good now, because Mike is being trusted to help out with the superlab. Remember the ask from last week, right when both Mike and Gus were pissed? That's good now. THIS good. Oh, and also, this is how a massive, underground meth lab was built, in case you might've been curious while watching BB. How is this a difficult concept to grasp? They're not going to get to the BB era without at least explaining a bit of this MAJOR thing.

Before this episode I would of believed that as a possibility. It feels like season 2 and 3 they found out they really like telling day-in-the-life character studies. But season 4 they want to bring back bb. Speaking specifically about the Jimmy/lawyer arch.

I measure buildings with a laser and the way the french guy was using it made me think he wasn't actually measuring things, just randomly lasering. Like what's the point of taking a measurement from standing in a random spot? You do it from one wall to another, you butt the end of the tool up against something else. At first I thought the scene was just done by someone who doesn't know much about using these lasers professionally to measure and draw up buildings but if anything it's another layer to show him as an over-confident fool.

Moving the dirt out is the hardest part, I think. You couldn't even cover it by doing a legit expansion to cover all of the hardware moving in and out because you'd have city inspectors all over the place.

Shows like this you love because of the unexpected. Giving us THAT for an opener was VERY unexpected! I've been wondering for a while about how awful the poo poo will be that Francesca will be caught up in/subject of/witness to. Throughout BB she's depicted as curt, hostile and unfriendly; when she shows up in BCS she's just fine and cordial; and of course tonight she's (back to) snubbing Saul's hug and cold-shouldering him. (Clearly she was also somehow trapped working for Saul with no way out.) And yeah, Patrick Fabian nailed his performance, with Howard never looking so miserable before. (Anyone else notice that he and Gus were pretty much reduced to cameo appearances this time?)

You couldn't even cover it by doing a legit expansion to cover all of the hardware moving in and out because you'd have city inspectors all over the place. I think if you get the right people to truck it out who won't ask questions you can probably get away with it as long as you keep doing it at like 2-4 a.m. each night. Don't know who is going to decide to call the cops because a dump truck is loading up with dirt. I do want to see how they solve all these problems and watch the lab start to come together, seems like a fun little thing to see Gus' plans working like a smooth and well oiled machine. I also get even more of a kick out of how full of himself Walt was after killing Gus as we see more and more of Gus' top-tier meth kingpin planning.

I do heavy civil design and estimating for a living and going with the 2nd guy over the 1st was a no-brainer. After the first guy finished his pitch I thought the writers were going to go the wildly-unrealistic route for plot reasons, then when the 2ng guy whipped out his tape measure, flashlight, Schmidt hammer, and preliminary list of ways things could go wrong I literally did a fist pump.

I have faith in our Lord and Saviour Vince Gilligan. Especially after watching this episode, my favourite so far of this series, feels like its really building up to something while paying off some threads in earlier episodes. Howard nailed the burned out insomniac look, speaking from experience.

My younger son was born last year and for four months straight, I didn't get a proper night's sleep. He was much worse than his older brother was. I wonder if Patrick Fabian has kids? If I ever have to act like I haven't been getting sleep, I have a wealth of experience to draw from.
