Sunk Costs

I'm glad BCS churned out a great episode this week.

A special note on the direction of the episode, very impressive and echoes of Tarantino in focusing on surroundings and different camera angles to make scenes jump out and appear significant.

Mike is a great character who has his own story lines and to see how he ended up being an associate of Gus Fring. His stealth and attention to detail can be quiet mesmerizing to the eye and you also become enveloped in his quest.

On Jimmy's end its tense as we see him boxed in and in need of a prayer. I wonder if this is how he came Saul but it would be too soon for that. This has to be the best episode of this season so far.

I decided to write this review because I disagree completely with some other silly reviews complaining about the first two seasons. The first two seasons were excellent, especially the first which showed brilliant story writing and entertainment. I am a fan of slow things being built up into something great but not when things drag on into oblivion. Episodes need to be eventful to say the least and this was thankfully eventful. Season 1 and 2 so far still stand out to be the best, lets hope this builds into something big.

Greatest episode ever among all law movies. Amazing scenes and cinematography. Transition between scenes just keep getting more amazing. Must watch this when high!

Damn Mike has been a smart man this season. Smart boi

Still waiting for more exciting episodes. Every episode I watch I say wait it is going to be better but it is still boring and I don't know how much should I wait more.

Sunk Cost is another strong chapter of Better Call Saul.

Fring scenes are solid, but given our prior knowledge of Breaking Bad not overly compelling due to the known fate of all characters involved. Most of the intrigue for me is based on finding out how certain relationships between individuals are established and how Hector's paralysis happens.

The main interest for me is the situation portrayed between Jimmy and Chuck. The writers depict a suitably complex relationship between brothers. Their dialogue is as compelling as ever and Jimmy being processed involves some amusing moments. Bob Odenkirk and Michael McKean are both excellent.

Visually it has plenty of superb imagery. As ever the camerawork and editing tells the story, particularly in the Mike scenes, which use the desert scenery to great effect.
