between_time_and_42Um???? Season 4 of Better Call Saul was so good???????
I mean, all I can really say about it to sell how good it is, is that it's just as great as Breaking Bad season 5, which is no mean feat.
I am, however, strictly talking about the A-plot with Jimmy & Kim and their slowly fracturing relationship, because the other plots had some great moments but weren't consistently great. Overall I was just baffled that the construction of the superlab was that big of a plot- like, I'm sure Breaking Bad fans weren't exactly clamoring to know the backstory on that one- but I guess they needed something for Gus to do other than creepily visit Hector, and if it brings Gale back into the story, good for the writers. It's just that I didn't feel connected to Werner enough to care about his death (though I will admit it was very sad). I couldn't buy that he jeopardized the whole thing because he wanted to see his wife. As for the plot with Nacho and the Salamancas, I felt like Lalo came out of literally nowhere and though he's slightly interesting as a character, I have no idea what his purpose is. Ehhhhh I guess we'll find out next season... whenever that might be...
Also, Rhea Seehorn's performance in this season has definitely solidified her as Sadie Adler in my dream cast for a Red Dead Redemption 2 film adaptation. And on that note, after seeing Gale in the last episode, I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of, and I think it was Seymour Krelborn from Little Shop of Horrors. So here are some vague ideas for a proposed LSOH fan cast (solely based on their acting, I don't know if any of them can sing):
-A younger David Costabile as Seymour Krelborn (he's currently in his 50's and I think most actors play Seymour in their 30's)
-Tony Shalhoub as Mr. Mushnik (watch Barton Fink and tell me you don't hear Mushnik's voice coming out of his character)
-Steven Ogg as Orin Scrivello (honestly I have nothing to add here, I just think it would be perfect- although I think he is also in his 50's so who knows, maybe everyone in this version is just older?)
