    Another excellent episode

    Not going to go into too much detail but I thought the cold open montage was excellent (one of the best of the series so far) and set the tone for the episode perfectly. On another note, I'm getting really sick of seeing the same 1/10 reviews saying 'boring' episode after episode. I'll be the first to admit that the pacing of the show has been a bit too slow at times but things are definitely picking up now and if you can't see that then you're probably not trying hard enough to engage with the show (sorry). I know a lot of people expected this to be like Breaking Bad but if you're still seeking that kind of action I'm afraid you simply won't find it here.

    Kim's cast; right arm/left arm is NOT a 'goof'.

    It is unfathomable that the creative team behind this show would make such a 'goof'... from the showrunners all the way down, especially to the actress herself, for this to actually be a 'goof;, they would ALL have to had to miss this in-your-face mistake, a virtual impossibility.

    Remember, the episode starts off in split-screen, with Kim and Jimmy facing mirrors. The cast flipping from arm to arm is a subtle play off this, which serves to illustrate the duality of Kim's character, the good-and-bad fighting for control, as was displayed by her actions later on in the episode.

    Time skip done right!

    This is the first major time skip in the show and it is handled very well throught that great montage as it never feels out of place or that you are missing something! Instead It is putting us closer to events that would have taken a long time to reach!

    Huell standing trying to defend Jimmy was pure comedy! I laugh everytime! It happens so fast and I love it!

    Another highlight is Gus taking control over Hectors future! We learn that he might have been able to speak and walk again.. had Gus not interfered!

    That montage

    As usual, this is another exceptional episode of Better Call Saul. But I just have to mention that montage at the start. It's absolutely fantastic.

    Genius way of telling us where Jimmy and Kim are in their lives and in their heads. Plus, showing us how much time has passed. Editing and cinematography was flawless as well. And the song of course.

    One of my favorite moments in the entire show.

    Great episode. Again. It feels like the last three are going to be wild

    I can't understand people who are still watching the fourth season and complaining about how boring the show is. In my opinion the show's tempo of the narrative is perfect. I like the way Gilligan and Gould treat me as a viewer - they trust me. Creators are not spoon-feeding audience letting them decide themselves how to feel about character's development and their actions. And I, in turn, trust them. This is what distinguishes BCS from the other TV shows - smart plot with high attention to details, complex characters with realistic motives which are not obvious and always multifaceted.

      The time of the episode is established: January 2004. That places it 4 years before the beginning of Breaking Bad (2008).
    • Goofs
      The digging crew are using a skid steer for some reason. Since the idea is to be secretive this makes no sense as:

      1. There would be no way to vent the carbon monoxide fumes out of the digging area without using noisy fans 2. They don't use a spotter to prevent the type of accident that occurred from happening. Experienced sandhogs (tunnelers) would know this. 3. The initial digging seems to have been over with, meaning that there was nothing to the skid steer to do in the hole.
