As Usual it's amazing
Step by step the writers show us how relationship between Saul and Kim changes especially in this great episod.On the other hand we find out the loyality of Mike to Gus becomes more clear
Solid on both fronts
A great episode that advanced the story lines. We see Saul at his finest, the lawyer we've seen before. Despite the tricks he pulls he is one heck of a lawyer and takes the room by storm with his tricks. He is the guy for this. Kim and everyone watch in horror as Saul is unleashed and does what he loves, conning within law. When it looks like Kim might take the obvious route what she says is stunning in the end. We know from BB that Kim is nowhere in the picture. And it would be too simple for her to just leave Jimmy. There is another piece. Meanwhile Mike comes into his own and totally gets the better of his new rival. He was no match for his industrious and brutal nature. On both fronts our two main characters reach their peaks and find their sweet spot that produces results for them. Top marks.
Bravo!
The best episode of season five yet. The whole thing is expertly written but the meeting room scene between Jimmy and Mesa Verde is the highlight of entertainment.
If this is not a 10 then what is?
No minute was wasted in this episode. Content filled, very well writen and the acting was top notch.
Saul continues to shine, while Jimmy remains in his shade
The beautiful poetry in this episode, you're either In the light, or in the shade of another character, this episode is beautiful. Saul Goodman gets the shine, on ALOT of people Kim, Mesa Verde and even Hamlin gets the shade, Kim is not liking it, since the flashback of her as a kid she's always had her way. Mike finally getting out of the shade to the light while Lalo goes into the shade of his actions against Mike. Gus is getting his shine after being humiliated by the feds, but Nacho just remains in his darkness for his own good. Now it might sound corny with the "light or dark, shade or shine" but it's literally the poetry this show is conveying in my eyes. Kim gets her shine at the end of the episode when she rips "Saul" into shreds, she exposes him for putting her in the cold shade. It's a beautiful episode of characters coming to terms of the issues being brought together full circle by the actions of others. Even Kim and Rick tension after Kim apologized. BEAUTIFUL conveyance of characters actions and lessons learned
