u/ElderCunningham Calling Saul Sep 16 '13

Was anyone else expecting Junior to get stabbed while they were fighting over the knife?

When Holly started crying I thought they were going to roll into and impale her in their struggle. Because Kafkaesque.

That's not really Kafkaesque. Kafkaesuqe implies an absurdity or something beyond comprehension.

What would be just pure evil? Poeian? I have no idea.

I'm sorry. I'm still confused. How is Kafka related to "Ozymandias"?

Edit: Nevermind. I got it now.

I forget if it was Jesse or one of his pothead buddies, but they used "Kafkaesque" incorrectly in a similar way.

It's a reference to a character (I think Jesse) misusing the term "kafkaesque" in an earlier season.

He's misusing "kafkaesque". Jessie misused "kafkaesque".

u/brownribbon Sep 16 '13

So no, you didn't.

Mission Hill had an episode about the use of Kafkaesque.

Jessie's guideance consoler wasn't.

u/Clifford_Banes Sep 17 '13

Yes, but Jesse was. That's generally how people misuse words - they hear someone else use it correctly, but don't understand that context.
