Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Kim (Rhea Seehorn) is sitting on the bed, there is a movie poster behind her for "The Thrill Hunter", a 1933 movie about a movie actress who falls for a con-artist that makes up stories about adventures he has had. Even after he is exposed, she continues to fall in love with him. This in many ways will reflect her relationship with Jimmy.

Featured review
Jonathan Banks is a legend!
I loved his character in BB, I love it here. Needless to say that he and Jimmy carry this whole show even through this nightmerrish second season. Yeah, there are still some long drawn out scens that provide absolutely no character development to any of the people involved. Yeah, there are still shots only for easter eggs' sake, like Mike's perfect parking tehnique or the twins' skull shoes. Things and scenes that have no symbolism and that contribute to nothing other than stretching the runtime of the episode. You know, I've heard things about tehniques and shots that the creator uses in order to foreshadow things and stuff, but the thing is like this: the average viewer won't notice that. Many viewers don't notice that. I don't notice that. There are no hints that certain shots are important or that certain scenes are foreshadowing something. And yeah you could argue that it is supposed to be like that because otherwise it would be too obvious. Ok, I get that, it shouldn't be like Varis' look towards Danaerys in season 8 episode 4 telegraphing a betrayal from like a mile away. But a foreshadowing still needs to be observed by the casual viewer, the one who watches only for fun and to see a good show. It isn't supposed to be visible only to the most die hard of the fans. That's not good foreshadowing. See the thing about ambiguous things is that every thing that is left open to interpretation can be interpreted in so "x" ways, x being the number of people that see the thing. You can't just throw random scenes in a movie/TV show and expect the viewer to understand exactly what you understand. We are all different. We nee some sort of clue or hint that might lead us there. I know I'm talking in vain here because the only people reviewing this series and getting upvotes are the most die hard of the fans for this show. Let's get to the real meat of this episode:
Mike Ehrmentraut is one of my favorite characters in both BB and BCS. And the acting delivered by Jonathan Banks is simply mezmerizing. You can't take your eyes of the guy everytime he's in a scene. He has a couple of them in this episode. From the encounter with the twins to the fight in his house to the meeting with the Salamanca family, this episode was almost like a tour de force for Mike's character. And it is honestly one of the best things to watch on TV. He and Jimmy are probably the only reason I still watch this show, because other than that this show has so many problems and it tries at times to be so realistic that it just falls on it's face. Anyway, it's an 8/10 from me. Hopefully this gets BCS back on track.
