Hopping fresh into Season 4 with Better Call Saul. I feel like this season we'll see LOTS of ripples from Chuck's death take course, as well as the fall of Hector Salamanca. Excited to see bigger fishes from both stories come into play, and if this is the season Jimmy finally steps his foot fully, into crime.

It's showtime!!!!!!!!

Kaitlin

We really need to get All That Jazz on the polls after Halloween.

Wiedersehen means "see you around" in German.

season 1-4 had great cinematography and lighting, but something changes with the color-grading and cinematography in season 5 & 6 that just makes the show even better. Excited to see if you notice it as well or if it’s just me.

Mike’s son, Matty, was an innocent man killed by dirty criminals for getting in too deep into a situation. Werner was the same, and it was Mike who pulled the trigger this time. In Mike’s eyes, he’s no better than the men who murdered his son.

Whenever I see Gus in the restaurant I can only think: "Will James watch the training videos and make a reaction?" I would so love it. I JUST now realized that the "chicken farm" Nacho mentioned in the first episode is the one Hank and Walt surveilled in Breaking Bad.. or intended to. Hank was right both times.

I'm so glad Chuck (Michael McKean) got to sing this season. Wasn't a Spinal Tap song, but nonetheless.

Kaitlin

There was some tea spilled in that parking garage fight. One thing I haven’t seen many people comment on is how the Jimmy and Chuck dynamic is such a great depiction of dealing with an abusive narcissist family member. Everyone else is dazzled by them and you’re so exhausted from getting smacked around by them.

I only got good news for you if this was your favourite season because it will still only get better from here. Enjoy the ride

Tim Martin

Season 4 was great! 5 will be awesome! And 6….well let’s just say I can’t wait to watch it with you!

Kaitlin

Co-signed. Season 5 is terrific and season 6 is outstanding.

Kara

A stunning pair of episodes, so much good stuff I don't even know what to talk about. Starting around S3 the cinematography pops off and in my opinion it stays incredible right through to the finale episode of the show. If I was teaching a class I would pick episodes from BB and BCS to show how the (essentially) same crew evolve over time, you really feel the benefit of the same group of people working together in New Mexico for like a decade. I've watched a bunch of reactions to this and almost everyone is taken off guard by the ending. Even people who suspect something like you want to believe, just like Kim, that Jimmy is finally connecting. This develops beautifully too. What a show!

Kara

One of my all time favorite scenes in the show. I think I have the whole thing memorised. "Jimmy you are always down" is just a brutal thing to hear when you know he becomes Breaking Bad era Saul Goodman and then black-and-white era Gene. Amazing stuff.

John

Season 5 and 6 are another level from here. Excited to watch it with you. 6 in particular might be the best season of TV I've ever seen in my life

Kara

It's top 5 for sure. Watching it live was incredible. That break halfway through the season bodied me.

John

Agree

Linda

It doesn't get any better than season 4. It really doesn't. 😐

Kaitlin

Okay Eeyore

lindelofstan

Where is the S4E3-4 post? I can't find it

I don't know if you still look at comments a day later, but if you were watching everything in release order, El Camino came out in between S4 and S5 of Better Call Saul.

Irrelevant

This might get a little lengthy, but bear with me on this thought. There are many parallels between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but the most interesting one to me is the parallel between Walter White in the Season 3 finale of Breaking Bad and Werner Ziegler in the Season 4 finale of Better Call Saul. Both of these men are geniuses in their field - highly accomplished and highly competent. Both men are very green when it comes to navigating in the criminal world. Both men are moved to cross Gustavo Fring in their respective penultimate episodes for the sake of family. For Walter, it was to save Jesse. For Werner, it was to be with his wife. Both men are warned by Mike previously not to cross the line or there will be consequences. Both men ignore these warnings because they are naive enough to believe that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Both men are brought to the moment of their execution. It's important to remember that Werner came first. Mike has a clear moral line that he doesn't hurt those that aren't "in the game". While Werner was definitely "in" the game, he wasn't "made" for it. I believe Mike viewed Werner as a more moral version of himself - both elders with families that they adore and will do anything for. For that reason, Mike even admired Werner a bit. When it came to executing Werner, it hurt Mike deeply. You can see his lingering hesitation before he does the inevitable. Mike goes "full measure" with Werner, which is the name of the Season 3 finale of Breaking Bad. With Walter, we know that Mike doesn't necessarily think highly of him, as someone to be admired. However, Mike does seem to have sympathy for Walt's situation at the laundromat. As Walt begs for his life, Mike exhibits glimmers of remorse in his anticipated actions when he says "I can't do it. I'm sorry." I believe this is because, while Mike finds Walt insufferable, he understands Walt's actions and motivations. Mike's been asked yet again to execute a man who simply wanted to do right by his family. Walt is much more tenacious than Werner, though... something that Mike is about to find out. Where Werner was not cunning and brutal enough to have a plan in case things were sour, Walt shows that he will do whatever it takes to keep his life, even if it means someone innocent has to be sacrificed. Before Walt makes the phone call, Mike has these brief expressions of remorse because he's done this before. After the phone call, you can visibly see the shock on Mike's face. This is a very different man than Werner. Walt is the "winner" of this exchange, which is the name of the Season 4 finale of Better Call Saul.

Kaitlin

That’s interesting you think of Werner as a foil for Walter because I always thought of the Kettlemans and Pryce as his foils. But that’s a good case for what a not-evil version of Walter might be like.

Taylor Olsoy

The show about Crime and Lawyers. Starts with Lawyers and minimal crime, and as the show continues you see the change. It is slow, gradual but eventually you get to this point. It will continue as well. The complete transition from Law to Crime. Law will still be there but just as crime was in the background in season 1 it will only decrease. You can see it here. You know where Saul goes. Incredible. Lalo the picture of him on the hillside humming to himself, journal, binoculars, and snacks. Incredible. Mike and Werner was so heartbreaking as well. This season was incredible but this finale was everything.

Thall

I just, once again, realized that Mike was also in Deep Space 9, Season 1 Ep 12. Leader of a kind of army. Even back then he exuded presence, lol

Anthony Lucido

The Winner Takes it All is a perfect song choice for Chuck and Jimmy’s relationship from hating Chuck least for me then they throw this gem of a scene at you and it’s just absolutely amazing
