Top 3 TV Moments – April 19 – April 25

By: Malasha Parker

Each week I’ll be picking the best drama, comedy or reality TV and sci-fi/fantasy moments from the shows of the prior week. They may sometimes be equipped with some of your favorite ships or tear-jerking moments. So, keep reading if you are still not over what happened on your favorite TV show this week!

Drama: Better Call Saul, “Something Unforgivable” – It’s all or nothing. 

Kim (Rhea Seehorn) is ready to go all in to get what she wants and it’s a shocking end to the season finale of Better Call Saul. She starts discussing with Jimmy all of her plans to go pro-bono and in order to do that they have to do some shady things so that they can get the life they want. In the final scene, Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) asks her if she’s really serious and she leaves him with two hands in the shape of guns pointed his way. She saunters off to the bathroom with a carefree determination left behind.

Comedy/Reality TV: Run, “Kiss” – It’s all downhill from here.

Ruby (Merritt Wever) and Billy (Domhnall Gleeson) have an interesting dynamic and even though the entire episode was filled with great stuff, I think the final moments really set things up for the season. When Ruby leaves the train she goes to get money from the ATM, but her card is declined. She calls her husband and the voicemail greeting that comes back at her is extremely harsh and lets the audience know what her next moves will probably be. The chaos has just begun and Ruby still seems to not know what she wants to do in the midst of it all. Her constant internal battle is bleeding through with every interaction and the ending scene added another layer. 

Sci-fi/Fantasy: Vagrant Queen, “In a Sticky Spot” – I’m not playing the hierarchy game.

Elida (Adriyan Rae) gets questioned about putting the life of another over the life of her mother. She responds that just because she’s queen it doesn’t mean she values one life over another. She’s “not playing the hierarchy game.” She says if Issac (Tim Rozon) and Amae (Alex McGregor) fall she’s responsible. “If one falls we all fall.” I loved listening to her outlook as a woman in power. She was more focused on what she could handle immediately and what would be best, rather than who had been there the longest or who had the most to give in the end. Her decision was final and she was not to be persuaded.
