Question: "Better Call Saul": Season 4

My biggest pet peeve is why does Kim Wexler wear that stupid little ponytail?

Probably because it's a neatly maintained hairstyle she can do quickly herself.

I like it.

I gave up after wexler got in the car accident does it get less boring then?

The on;y thing I recall was Chuck killing himself. It's been too long.

No, it becomes more boring - because while her cases keep up, he starts drifting into stuff that's outside the law, and the whole thing had more tension when he was struggling to fit into that straightlaced legal world.

They also bring in more and more emphasis on the drug stuff drama with the warring cartels, and that's all just a retread from "Breaking Bad."

I was so ready for him to die. Chuck was such a miserable dick.

It wasn’t about the tape itself, as you noted he denied altering any documents. It was about breaking and entering Chuck’s house and destroying his property. Jimmy broke the law and that can result in disciplinary action before the State Bar.

When is it coming back?

Next year.

Does anyone agree that Season 4 was the least engaging? For some reason I just wasn't into it, and eventually started skipping the drug scenes.

R1 YES! I can’t stand that stupid, thin pony tail twisted in that nauseating “curl.”

That's, strangely, the most boring part of the show. I liked it much better when the focus was on Jimmy, Kim, Chuck, and the characters from the legal world.

Rhea Seehorn is an attractive woman, it’s frustrating to see her character look so severe and adolescent with that fucking ponytail.

Kim's ponytail has a surprisingly large following:

[quote]When Kim wears that ponytail in a courtroom or other work-oriented setting — and that’s usually where she wears it — it is a reflection of her strength and sense of order. No strand is out of place. The coil is curled perfectly, as if it were sculpted with plans to put this ponytail on display in a museum. It is a ponytail that could only spring from the scalp of a grown woman who is formidable and unflappable. It’s a total power pony.

[quote]But the ponytail, by nature, also has a whiff of girlish energy about it. A high and tight one like Kim’s is associated with cheerleaders and elementary-schoolers whose mothers insist that they look their best on class picture day. The way it swirls is reminiscent of the pigtails once worn by Cindy Brady, the baby of The Brady Bunch who swore she didn’t sound like a baby, even though she totally did. Kim Wexler is smart enough to grasp all this, and that’s probably why she chose the ponytail, too, aside from the practicality that comes with just putting up her hair and forgetting about it. Kim wants her colleagues to take her seriously, but in a male-dominated profession — and also in a firm like her former one, Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill — she realizes that it doesn’t hurt to subtly project a bit of youthful femininity.
