Better Call Saul: Fifi (2016)
Season 2, Episode 8
10/10
The Beginning of the End
7 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I won't spoil it, but what Jimmy does at the end is, to me: The first move for something big that comes in the next season. Every season (at least the last one), has one important happen, lead to something else in the 1 or 2 next episodes then finally lead to the finale. This, is the important thing of this season. But unlike the last, this isn't something the slightly righteous Jimmy McGill does.

One Of The Better Episodes
1 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So, the best part of this was without a doubt the part were Jimmy tries to get fired. It was a visually beautiful representation of Slippin' Jimmy and Saul.

An Improvement
1 August 2022
This was better than the last one, at least more happened. Stuff with Mike was good, otherwise not much else. I'd say season 2's the worst so far, even though there's a few episodes left.

Ehhhh

Warning: Spoilers
Kim digs herself out of the hole, and Mike has his first encounter with Hector. What else? I'm starting think Season 2 doesn't have a chance of digging itself up from last place.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present To You: The Work of Slippin' Jimmy (FT Saul Goodman)
31 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This time around I understood the reference of "Fellini, Welles, and Bergman...". The real question I keep on wondering is why Jimmy ran the commercial. My conclusion is it's just him, like the nature of an animal. It can't change.

Odd
31 July 2022
I've always said Season 1 was different from the others. It's not the best out of the 6, or the worst. But different. Eventually I came to the conclusion that it's more centred on Jimmy McGill/Slippin' Jimmy, and much smaller in his grand evolving of actions. From what I remember, Season 2 introduces Saul a little more. Regardless, I've always said 2 was the worst. This episode (although definitely not bad) is somewhat an example of that. Smaller than Season 1 (not in the way of actions), main story line is repetitive, and the subplot is more enjoyable. This episode never fit in with the others for me, it was comedic but not particularly great compared to others.

When A Bit Of The Slightly Righteous Jimmy McGill Died.
31 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
After Chuck turns out to be such an asshole, Slippin' Jimmy goes back to where Slippin' Jimmy was made. This time I noticed how Marco never really seemed like a character (at least to me), more a symbolism of a part of Jimmy. Also the end was incredible, staring into the eyes of Saul Goodman.

The Stepping Stone For Jimmies Financial Rise
27 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I just noticed the copier and what it resembles in the beginning. Really sad to see Chuck and Jimmy work so well together, but knowing in one episode everything will break.

This Has Always Been My Favourite Of This Season
27 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's tragic to have to see Jimmy do the right thing for one of the last times. Yet again another unforgettable scene not only in this season, but the entire show for that matter.

One of the deepest episodes of this show, everything said was magical and thought provoking. The transitions and how the colours just blend was mesmerizing.

An Explanation To Chuck
27 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Even though this served mostly as an explaining, it's one of the funniest episodes and raises lots of questions to be answered in later episodes and even seasons.

The Genius of Jimmy
27 July 2022
This season (and maybe the second) always felt different to me than the others. This felt smaller and more like a tiny bit of relating to the feel of it. Now I know why: This is all about tiny doses of Goodman poison into the immune system of James M. McGill, which is currently much more healthier. This episode shows this perfectly to me.

Here's the thing, Better Call Saul is like films broken to smaller pieces.
27 July 2022
This and the last two episodes are literally like 1/3 of the main parts of a film just expanded out. Most tv shows don't do this to me. And my first time reaction to the conclusion is something I can't ever forget.

The Consequences
27 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Jimmy's first ever exposure to the world of Magic Man. It's pulled off very well, and a pinpoint for his future history that'll never be forgotten. I loved how this pointed to the idea of his fate and impossible odds of escaping The Game.

It's A Perfect Introduction Episode
27 July 2022
Talks about "Slippin' Jimmy" and small but great introductions to many ideas and characters that'll reoccur. And the ending, literally standing for the result of Jimmies corner-cutting, was really just an incredible establishment for what is to come.

10/10
Phenomenal.
27 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
One of the best tv episodes I've ever seen. The drama between Nacho and the cartel was obviously incredibly well written. Saul's plans with Howard unravel more, though I'll admit I liked his schemes in the last two episodes slightly more, but am still excited to see what will happen. Jimmies cartel clients start to be noticed by the courts and such which reminds me of Season 10 Episode 2, when we say Chuck recorded Jimmies confession (it will lead to a big event in the series). Another scene I really liked was when we saw Nacho call his father, which started to hint at Nacho's death. But none compare to the last scene. Before Nacho's (expected end but not expected) suicide, he reveals his entire opinion on the characters, finally showing his hate for Hector, while at the same time not saying he worked for Gus, thus keeping his father safe. Every second of the episode was incredible: The acting, the color, the lighting, the drama, and most importantly: The perfect end to a beloved character. That's the word that sums up this episode: Perfect. 100/100.
