continuing this list #15: Quite a Ride (405) Remember all those phones Breaking Bad loved to break every single time? Here comes the origin of it. Season 4 of Better Call Saul often gets the criticism of being a Mike season than a Jimmy season mainly because Jimmy stopped becoming a lawyer for a year after events of season 3, so writers had to come make it a slow burn on what Jimmy does during the one year gap and develop Mike's life a little more. That is perfectly understandable why people were itching for lawyer side of the show becoming the full focus again but If there is one thing I appreciate about season 4 is that it is taking its time to develop Jinmy's progression (or rather regression?) into coping with his brother's death and finding a suitable job to bring bread to the home. So he tries couple of things, they don't work. He becomes a theft, it becomes risky. So after many tries, he finds a job at mobile shop but there is no costumer there. This episode is the beginning of Jimmy becoming more associated with criminals. Make no mistake, Jimmy was a criminal and still is in season 4 and he worked with criminals before but this is the first time he actually engages with criminal underworld. Selling phones to them, so they can use it to get away with their shit. What's genius about this episode is that this episode takes us forward into Breaking Bad timeline where Saul finally meets his doom thanks to Walter White and he goes into hiding, escaping criminal underworld with using a one time phone one last time. This episode shows us Saul being officially done with criminal underworld whereas Jimmy in prequel timeline starting it. And it doesn't go well at first, he gets mugged and beaten by bunch of punks, so he realizes the toughness and unfairness of criminals. It's a really strong and underrated episode about how Jimmy becoming more and more distant from everyone and becoming engaged with criminals more than his own needs like grieving Chuck and getting the help he needs to move on. #14: Wexler v. Goodman (506) Kim is important to the show just as much as Jimmy. This episode highlights her character even more than before. Focusing on her trust issues with people that started with her mom and how it continues all the way through Jimmy. What's sad about Kim is that whenever she opens up to people, something always goes bad for. This episode for example. After seeing how Mesa Verde wants to screw up a person's home to claim his property, Kim decides to do another scam with Jimmy but then completely rejects it. Despite all that, Jimmy runs with the scam behind her back, screwing up the owner of Mesa Verde big time. What's interesting is that Kim really wants to do things right and do it in a proper way instead of scamming but Jimmy continues to go with it in order to make Kim happy but all he does is ruin Kim's trust once more. But another thing is that Kim loves Jimmy, so she is willing to do scams with him regardless of what and all she wants is full trust with Jimmy, so she offers him that either they seperate their ways or get married, so Kim can be legally bound to whatever Jimmy is doing. It was such a complex episode of developing Kim into a person with trust issues but still waiting for love and care from those who hurt her. This episode is a big example of how Jimmy and Kim are bad for each other, despite caring for each other and why Kim really needed to step away from Jimmy's acts instead of marrying him. #13: Lantern (310) This is where Jimmy and Chuck's sibling rivalry ends and not in a way you can expect. This episode hurts so much for a number of reasons. Lets talk the big one out of the way. Chuck commits suicide and yep, that's how the season ends. It was perhaps the most depressing ending to either Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. As you can see in the photo, Chuck pretty much raised Jimmy as a kid and despite all that, Chuck has grown to hate Jimmy over the years. Not being able to accept Jimmy's wrongdoings and give him a second chance. Instead, he grows a lot more bitter towards him. Same as Jimmy who just wants his brother to get hurt after how he backstabbed him in season 2 finale. It was really sad to realize perhaps Jimmy and Chuck were better off without them constantly at each other's throats. Chuck actually did the necessary to help himself and grow as a person without Jimmy in his life and things were finally looking out well until Jimmy came into his life once more and it pretty much broke Chuck once again. Jimmy messed with Chuck's job, removing him from one thing he loved, therefore Jimmy planted seeds for Chuck's suicide and that's just so tragic. Jimmy really could have been done with Chuck or at least follow Chuck's wife's advice to help him but he just doesn't and therefore, everything is on fire. Another fucked up thing about this episode was that we finally saw how Hector ends up in a wheelchair, mostly paralyized. In season 3, we saw Hector wanting Nacho's dad into cartel and Nacho is deeply uncomfortable with it, so he poisons him but what's really interesting is that Gus, his archnemesis, saves him. Why he does it, we find out later on but it's clear that Gus wants to be the only one who takes him down, so he saves him from Nacho's poison. Another tragedy of the fact that things are not over for Nacho yet and it's only gonna get worse for him. #12: Something Unforgiveable (510) Here we are at another banger season finale of the show. It pretty much sets up the final season and oh boy, it does it in a really fantastic way. After confronting Lalo, Jimmy and Kim goes into hiding whereas Nacho goes to Mexico to take down Lalo in Gus' orders. It was such an explosive finale in terms of Nacho's plot because he does not realize what he is into. I loved seeing more in depth look at Lalo's life and his loves ones. Despite all the cunning nature of Lalo, he does have something to live for, his family. And they matter so much to him. So seeing Nacho betray Lalo and having every single family member of his killed except Lalo himself was a really cold moment. I can't blame Nacho tho, he was set up by Gus and we saw his regret in doing it. I loved the exploration of Nacho here just as much as Lalo. He finally meets the big man himself Don Eladio and they talk about what Nacho really wants for his life. It was a really important scene of Nacho realizing that he is nothing but a puppet to cartel and he wants to be his own man. Pulling his own strings. But what's done is done. He is far too deep in and something awful waiting for him in the end. As for Jimmy and Kim's plot, they take a back seat and focus on how to survive. Their plot is light compared to Nacho and Lalo's but they really needed that after season 5's penultimate episode. Despite all of this bad happening to them, now they have something juicy cooked up. Kim confronts Howard one last time after her telling him she quit being paid for lawyer and now she is doing pro-bono but Howard once again undermines her, thinking it was because of Jimmy's scam, she had to leave the company she worked with. But it just angers Kim and now she decides to take down Howard with Jimmy's assistance. I love the fact that Jimmy was unsure about the idea because of how he played Kim like a fool in Mesa Verde scam and he doesn't feel like going with it but because he loves his wife, he decides to join the scam. Yet another example of Jimmy and Kim's toxic relationship except it was Kim this time who wanted to do something bad for someone. Their time in this episode is just as important as Nacho and Lalo's plot and because of them, this episode earns another high point from me. #11: Winner (410) Season finales back to back you say? Well, I'm just as shocked as you but believe me, Better Call Saul pulls off these season finales magnificently and I love them in their own unique way but this one comes above season 2, 3 and 5's finales. Season 4 is a really underappreciated season that develops Jimmy into becoming who he was in Breaking Bad. And not just him but Mike too. This episode is a great example of how both of these characters enter a road they cannot escape. Jimmy lies to the bar about how law is important to him, so he cheats his way out of it and becomes a full lawyer once more but one another thing is that Jimmy stops disassociating himself with McGill name because that's also Chuck's last name which he used for his company. As we see in the beginning, Jimmy and Chuck actually spending time together after Chuck learning Jimmy passed the bar and become a lawyer. Of course Chuck is not happy with this but regardless of that, the duo spend a great time at a kareoke bar, singing and drinking. After this flashback, Jimmy officially cuts Chuck out of his life and it costs most of his humanity. Becoming Saul Goodman. It hurts so much because at first Jimmy wanted to work with Chuck side by side but because of how Chuck treated him and now he is dead, he wants to create his own legacy and we all know what legacy it turns out. As for Mike's plot in this season, Mike once again lives the idea that he can work with someone who hates a person just as much Mike does and wants nothing but revenge from him. But regardless of his intentions, he still tries to not commit any horrid acts. But what really pushes him to the edge is his best friend Werner Ziegler being under Lalo's radar, therefore, he has no choice but to kill him. This is how Mike starts to lose his humanity and morality. Killing a person he deeply cares about and it paralels with how he led his son to be killed for being corrupt. There is just no peace for Mike after this episode. #10-6 coming out tomorrow, stay tuned

It's showtime folks! Better Call Saul is a show that truly became my biggest highlight of 2022. That's not to say I didn't have a blast in other entertainment this year such as Everything Everywhere All at Once or Our Flag Means Death or The Batman. But binging Saul this year was unlike anything else. It brought me back to Breaking Bad Universe with a whole new look at the original show itself as well as finding new things to appreciate in this show. Without Saul's inclusion to Breaing Bad, I would have never seen incredible characters like Kim, Nacho, Lalo, Howard, Chuck, Marion etc. They made this show as well as Saul himself. It was really tragic to see how one guy who wanted to do something good for once, only for him to be looked down on, so he got worse as years passed. This is about downfall of Jimmy McGill and his transformation into Saul Goodman. And my god, what a tale that was. So I'm gonna be highlighting episodes I love the most on the show. Before you read this topic, reminder that I'm gonna be spoiler talking about each episode in it. So if you haven't seen Saul entirely, I suggest you to skip this topic but if you don't give a crap about spoilers or have no intention of watching the show, here you go. So let's begin. #20: Gloves Off (204) This was such an important episode of Better Call Saul that kicked things off. This was all about highlighting the relationship between Mike and Nacho. Mike acting like a father figure to Nacho and trying to save him from a future disaster known as Tuco was really what made this episode to my #20 spot. I loved how they took down Tuco in it and it pretty much made a chain reaction to the events of Breaking Bad and how Tuco has become even more ruthless in it. This episode also tests Mike because after how he killed his son's killers, he refuses to get his hands dirty, so he results in making Tuco get arrested for abusing an elder. That was so clever of Mike but it is only gonna make things worse once Tuco gets out of jail after events of Better Call Saul. So yeah, this episode is incredible because of developing Mike and Nacho and how they have become closer in time. #19: Five-O (106) I can't blame anyone who stopped at Better Call Saul after seeing first few episodes because this is a show that really took its time to set up its lawyer world. Showing us early stages of Jimmy McGill and his relationship with his brother, his love interest and his ex-boss. I really enjoyed first five episodes of show and I was already hooked but the show didn't start becoming great until this episode. I haven't started talking about Jimmy yet (but I'll get to it soon) but Mike is just as much of a main lead of the show as Jimmy is. This is how we learn about his backstory as a corrupt cop and how it led to his son's death. Seeing his regrets on leading his son up to his death and how it broke him shows here. He now has a granddaughter whom he cares about so much and wants to do all for her but the sad reality is that later on, we'll see that he is gonna make same mistakes as he did with his son, securing the future of his granddaughter with drug money. While this episode hasn't started Mike's trip to cartel, it pretty much set him up to do more shady work as he goes on. #18: Pimento (109) Now this is how you do a penultimate episode in a season. It pretty much starts off sibling rivalry between Jimmy and Chuck and what a way to do it. I'm a sucker for sibling dynamics in shows and movies but no other show made it as compelling as this show did with Jimmy and Chuck (sorry Supernatural, i still love you). This is the beginning of how they screw up each other and the worst part is they both have valid points on how they see each other. Jimmy trying his best to help elders he has grown to love so much was really the most selfless thing Jimmy has ever done in his life. He did it out of love and respect. And all he wanted in return was to be recognized in same level as Chuck. But what really happens was Chuck screwing him over, so he cannot be partners with JMM. It's just truly tragic. Chuck's reasons to do so is valid, he doesn't want Jimmy do pull off his scams to tear down a company he built with his friend. But regardless of his intentions, Chuck wants to come on top, he sees his brother nothing more than a conman who will take short cuts to get what he wants. This is how Chuck influences Jimmy to help people less because he will never give Jimmy a second chance. And after this episode, things are about to go worse for two of them. #17: Klick (210) And here we are. Closing season 2 off with a bang. This was an important episode for both Jimmy and Mike. Thanks to events of Pimento, Jimmy has nothing but hatred for his brother and he only wants to take him down. As a result, he screwed up a case he worked so hard. But we know that Jimmy feels bad for what he has done, he sees Chuck acting even more disturbing, so he confessed what he did to Chuck. And it's just heartbreaking to see. Especially after what Chuck pulls off at the end, recording Jimmy's confession which will only make things worse for these two. What's worse is that Chuck's weirdness in this episode was only an act and this shows how much Chuck has grown pathetic towards his brother. Mike's plot in season 2 continues with him having clash with Tuco's uncle Hector and how he wants to take him down. Even going as far as killing him which results in him being stopped by a mysterious figure. Who stopped Mike is revealed in season 3 and it's no surprising who did it but it goes to show Mike is about to get deep into criminal underworld soon. #16: Coushatta (408) The man, the myth, the legend. Am I talking about Lalo or Huell here? Who knows? But we all know both of them steal this episode easily. Starting it off with Lalo, we have heard of his name in Saul's first introduction in Breaking Bad as well as Nacho's name. Nacho was already present in the show from day 2 but it took four seasons to introduce this mysterious Lalo figure and oh boy, it paid off magnificently. Just from his introduction, Tony Dalton sells us what kind of a character Lalo is. To examine Salamancas, Tuco is a temper headed crazy figure, twins are a force of nature and Hector is a cunning and despicable old man. So what makes Lalo? He is the charismatic one. From his introduction, we see a happy, talkative and wholesome guy who loves to cook. But underneath all, he is pretty much boogeyman. To Nacho as well as Jimmy and Kim later on. After how he seemed harmless at first, he pretty much comes to Nacho and say "you are gonna die" and you can already feel chills from him. And it's only gonna get worse because of his nature. Just as Nacho thought he was free from cartel business, Lalo comes to remind him there is no going back at this point. And going to Huell, what can I say? Huell plot easily made this episode one of the funniest if not the funniest episode of the show. Better Call Saul was designed to be a comedy at first but Vince and Peter felt like it didn't owrk, so it became a drama like Breaking Bad but what littlle they know is that they can excel at comedy just as much as drama. Jimmy and Kim pulling the craziest scam to get Huell out of prison was not only genius but incredibly funny. Painting him as a holy figure that has a cult following. It was just hysterical. It really shows how talented Jimmy and Kim are together and make no mistake, that talent will always come at a cost. For now, let them have this victory. #15-11 will come out tomorrow, so stay tuned

God forbid friends like Peter

well shit *jumps*

diff country for sure

Perhaps I overhyped myself but I wish the episode had more going to it in terms of more excitement. The plot wasn't as special as I thought or it wasn't exactly laugh worthy like MM & BB V either. Still in terms of the story and execution, it did its job fairly well. Couple of jokes got to me, though they aren't much noteworthy except maybe the foot gag they pulled with Plankton. Plankton's villain costume reminded me of Magneto's costume, so i stanned it. Man Ray being the only person who knows about the secret formula besides Krabs and SpongeBob was so funny and wild. But really what made this ep stand out to me was the cameos. Normally I would just say this is yet another pandering to pre-movie fans but seeing villains from post-movie really had me going. Even taking villains from other sb media (Dennis and Prawn) worked so well. I loved seeing Tattletale Strangler's cameo the most, he just fucking died and it was glorious. Nosferatu's sequences were amusing. Robot Mantis's sequence was really funny. Squidward's come back as Doctor Negative was glorious, though I wish they'd do a winking joke when EVIL invaded Krusty Krab. I loved that Man Ray just handed away the formula to Krabs and punished Plankton. Man Ray shilling Krusty Krab here was handled better than Super Aquatic ep. In fact the whole episode is a better example of how to do a villain team up than Super Aquatic. I just wish it did more wild things with its premise but still, I enjoyed the ride. Grade: B+

I honestly don't know what else I expected from this episode. It really was a tiresome "lets ruin Squidward's day" premise on an autopilot (yes). And what bothers me is that there are stuff in the episode that did work out well. I laughed at couple of jokes such as hyper realistic photo of SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward and the whole twist of autopilot doing all the work instead of Squidward. Patrick opening the plane door was funny for the first time but then it got old for me. And what I'm mad about is that this episode had an actual exciting climax with really stellar animation on top of it. The plane landing sequence was one of the best looking things I have ever seen on the new era. Unfortunately all of that was washed away by the really eering twist of "there is no having vacation to the island, you only travel to it and then return". Like I said, autopilot joke worked but the reveal of Squidward's trip being a waste was just exhausting. That's no Lady and Good Ol' Whatshisname pulled the same trick but with much successful pay offs because the set up was there (and I don't even like Whatshisname). Here I don't see it, It felt so annoying and not funny. If you expected this to be a better version of Enchanted Tiki Dreams like me, then don't waste your time. The ep was nothing like it. Still it was better for being less annoying and having some exciting sequences but as a whole, the episode irritated me. I wish I would enjoy the experience but I ended up feeling empty most of its run. Grade: B-
