Coushatta

Yes, it's slower and has it's own pace, but episodes like this are what make this show so good. It's a gradual buildup in the past few episodes, especially the last one was quite slow imo. But then this right here is a 10/10. Great twist, and great humor. What more can you ask? This show keeps it up.

I was getting bored. I liked the first 3 seasons, but season 4 has been slow, I had decided I'd be done after this one... Sometimes you've gotta wait for the punchline, and boy did this episode deliver. Hilarious, I now remember why I loved this show. This guy wrote breaking bad, of course anything he writes will be great, how could I have forgotten!

My favourite aspect of this episode is a certain scam run by several characters. The concept is funny and the scene Jimmy shares with his filmmaking friends is hilarious. Bob Odenkirk is on great form as always.

In relation the above there is a fairly surprising character development involving Kim that subverts expectations. That being said there have been several hints over a few episodes that it might happen. For me this heightens the sense of dread around her character arc and relationship with Jimmy.

The cartel scenes are superbly written and made. I love the use of the character Krazy-8, particularly his more passive depiction when it comes to violence. This works well given what we know happens in Breaking Bad.

There is also great cartel related character introduction in this episode that establishes the individual's edgy presence. It is reminiscent of the type of antagonists you see in Tarentino movies, that are charismatic and instil fear. Tony Dalton makes you feel uncomfortable, but does it in an entertaining way.

I like the scenes involving the construction project as they focus on certain characters. The details of the project are not hugely interesting as we know how it turns out, but the unknown fate of certain individuals makes it more intriguing.

As great as the Chuck saga was, his character and storyline wasn't as pulling as where we are heading now. We are slowly but surely seeing the Better Call Saul enter the Breaking Bad world. Jimmy and Kim's scheming together is top quality television. As Jimmy makes lots of mistakes, this episode reminded us of how good he is at his schemes. He is getting smarter and smarter when it comes to getting out of trouble. The Mike situation with the German employees is great too, as he is trying to make Gus happy but walking on eggshells. These last two episodes of season 4 are setting up to be absolutely fantastic.

I thought this was one of THE most creative episodes of any I have seen. The letter writing campaign was hilarious. For those that are wondering why so much effort to save this guy, it's that he and his people did Jimmy a big favor, set him on his way. There is such a thing as loyalty and there is also a practical side to this. As for Kim. The same people, time after time, have it in for Kim Wexler. What's the big deal? She has been by Jimmy's side the whole time. He has strong feelings for her, but at times he betrays her. She has had to take on the financial burden underground whatever. How should she react? Please drop the show if one character is enough to dismiss any enjoyment.
