Better Call Saul: Nacho (2015) Season 1, Episode 3

Let's talk about money

[16 February 2015]

First time in Better Call Saul we see real money. Till now, we had only seen it in bit and scraps. For the first time we get a glimpse of what is there on the offer for Saul Goodman, sorry, Jimmy, Jimmy Mcgill.

This was an important episode in many ways. We get a peek into Mike and how he is a street-smart ex-cop. There is a partnership that is developing between him and Jimmy. Still early days, but there is an admiration that the two seem to be building for each other. We all know where that would lead to. I await the next episode eagerly to see how Jimmy is going to convince the Kettleman's to let him embezzle their money.

And yes, the narrative follows the road of Breaking Bad. Saul appears to be in jail five years after the present. The series will now carve a way to reach there, something BB did splendidly. And I am not the only one who thinks that point to be the beginning of Saul Goodman.

Homeland: Long Time Coming (2014) Season 4, Episode 12

Sorry Homeland, but this time I am not buying any of it

[3/10 · 22 December 2014]

After watching the episode I get the idea about what others have been feeling. This episode was a let-down in every way.

A minor drop in the intensity seemed to provide a grand conclusion in the final episode thanks to the last second revelation of Dal Adar in the penultimate episode. But two lines of dialogues, and he is in the clear. Wow, that is some writing.

Secondly, What about the Carrie family? The problems which Carrie had with her sister appeared real only at times. And now this mother popping out of someone's belly without any prior hints in the season. I would bu none of it. Claire Danes is good actress, but selling something that stupid is an ordeal that no actor should go through. Sometimes, it all appeared like an un-aired pilot of some mediocre series.

Homeland: Krieg Nicht Lieb (2014) Season 4, Episode 11

I have stopped guessing what's next.. Just keep them coming Homeland

[9/10 · 15 December 2014]

This episode of Homeland has made me sit and wait for the drama which would unfold in the finale of the fourth season.

Forty five minutes of anticipation and it has only been prolonged by one more week, after a cliffhanger which has been shadowing through all the seasons of Homeland.

I really do not want to say anything because then I will be dishing out spoilers. But I am glad that the writers have been doing something which would really fulfill their long term goal to explain all that has been going on in the past seasons. This episode has clearly started the ticking of a clock which will lead to a major blowout.

The Big Bang Theory: The Cooper Extraction (2013) Season 7, Episode 11

She wants to live in stone age but a cave isn't available..

[13 December 2013]

This just might be the funniest episode of Big Bang Theory ever..

Whats life without Sheldon?

Go find out. Because its certainly doesn't get easy as his friends think. The humor in this episode matches the levels of panty piñata polarization, electric can opener fluctuation and scavanger vortex which are my most favourite episodes of the series. Sheldon's dialogues from this episode will be remembered for a long time. All the characters have gotten some really hilarious dialogues. But obviously that's just my thought.

What do you think? What do you think? What do you think?

The Big Bang Theory: The Discovery Dissipation (2013) Season 7, Episode 10

Bitten by a dog and there is his first breakthrough

[10/10 · 8 December 2013]

Amazing episode.

Big Bang can do no wrong this season. They are connecting all the dots perfectly and more importantly in a hilarious fashion. Sheldon's trauma and how Leonard tries to come to his help in an Amyish fashion is moving in a funny way. But it was Kripke's appearance which just blew me way. The dialogues and intensity of the scene make me laugh every time I am watching it.

Raj, Howard and Bernadette are forming a perfect trio on the other side and you just watch the episode to appreciate Raj as a counselor.

As for Penny and Amy, well! they are embarrassed.

The Big Bang Theory: The Raiders Minimization (2013) Season 7, Episode 4

letdown

[7/10 · 14 October 2013]

Big bang theory creators surely should have known better than this. after one of the best TBBT episodes they give us this. I am baffled to say the least.

Just when I was thinking that they are going for some character development they kill my expectations by picking a story which seems to be inspired by one of the episodes from earlier seasons. Sheldon's part was always interesting and that remained true for this episode too which made me feel better. Amy too was great and is surely the most entertaining character after Sheldon now. But I feel sorry for the rest of them.

I hope for a better episode next week. And there is a high chance for that as the level set by this episode is not much to surpass for BBT.
