I keep hearing people saying that it's slow, I guess I don't understand. We've been introduced to tons of characters, there are quite a few storylines that are starting to move forward, and we've already been introduced to more than one timeline.

Breaking bad was slow to start fwiw too. It's the pace of each scene, not who's in it to me.

Man, I forgot how much I missed BB until watching this show.

that's the dumbest thing you've ever said.
I've had bro's tell me they were going to intentionally not watch a TV show, just so they could binge at a later date: I don't get it.  I guess if you want to not BBS about a show, or talk with your buds about the last new/great/surprising episode so you can have a whole Saturday to binge off, that's your choice, but I think i'd always prefer to be current.   
Its like my old boss used to tell me he'd DVR sporting programs, wait until they were over, look up the score, and only watch them if his team won.   Like, I see the logic in there, but I still don't think it'd be something i'd be interested in.

For starters, I'm too busy to watch a show every single week. I've tried and it just doesn't work for me.

I also don't get that much out of bbs'ing about a TV show and I can have conversations with people that don't reference a TV show. I did the same thing with Breaking Bad and will admit I enjoyed seeing people's reactions after the fact.

It's nothing like your idiot boss.

No, but I'd still need to make the time , and if my wife wants to watch our schedules have to match, and I'm not gonna coordinate multiple schedules for a TV show.

If she's not watching, I have to block off 45 minutes a week of me time on top of KSU sports and concerts and other generally awesome things I do to keep up. No thanks.

So I haven't seen a single episode of Breaking Bad. I didn't feel like binge watching after it got really popular after seasons 3 & 4. Anyway I am watching BCS. I thought the first two episodes were good enough to hold me, episode 2 was brilliant. I thought episode 3 was awful minus the last 5 minutes. I attempted to watch it 3 times but dozed off after about 20 minutes each time, the second time I woke up to see the end and I was able to follow so I don't think I missed anything in the middle 30 minutes, am I right about this or should I try for a fourth time?

Also since I didn't see BB I'm confused by why/how Jimmy becomes Saul. Will explaining this to me likely ruin a story arc? If so don't explain it to me.

You didn't miss any essential plot in episode 3. In BB, he just says he changed his name because it would be better for business if people thought he was Jewish, which is a very Saul thing to do.

I love how he's turning into a great scam artist. I also enjoyed watching him pull out those stacks of cash at his desk after he had repeatedly told that couple, "I can't take a bribe. I can't take a bribe!" He's giving fewer and fewer fucks each episode.

The succession and toilet scenes were pretty good tonight. That being said we're now 5 episodes in and its pretty overrated. Usually a good scene or two each episode and enough to hold you through an episode but this certainly isn't some thrill ride killing me in anticipation for the next episode.

I don't think we know the direction the story is going yet. The last couple of episodes seem to be setting us up for something.

The audience became so accustomed to a quick pace in the last couple of seasons of BB, but earlier in the series there was a lot of set up episodes. I bet that is the case here. We don't even know Mike's story yet and we're almost half a season into the show.

We know a few things:
Jimmy had some kind of falling out bad enough to change his name (legal reasons?)
Jimmy and his brother no longer have a big connection, his brother didn't appear once in BB, wasn't even referenced.

Will you be back for more episodes?

I was surprised I was coming back in the first place, because I was dead and then it was "Oh, it's a prequel, great. I might come back." I don't know if I will again. It would be interesting. It would be fun to do a few more. It's just really hard part to try to pull off. That's why you approach it sparingly to do an episode here and there.

MIR questions who the haters are, then proceeds to list things that he hates about the show.

If you think listing critiques of anything is being a hater you may need to analyze your fanboi status. Better Call Saul tuck logic? Nearly every post itt praising the show talks about the links in each episode to BB, of course someone who didn't see BB will be more critical. I'm sure they'll do a better job as the show progresses of having BCS stand on its own.

That being said, last night was awesome.  If there were BB insider things they certainly weren't evident.  Everything about last night's episode was perfect and served as a great lead in to the season finale. There were two holes in the episode: How did Mike know who to vet for that job? I doubt that the pharmacist would tell hired muscle who he is dealing drugs to. And, why did ol' dude from HHM tell Kim about Chuck betraying Jimmy? Those are nit picks though the episode was great, now I'm intrigued where as before I was just watching hoping to get hooked.
Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: CNS on March 31, 2015, 09:32:10 AM
I think the HHM hole is because of some yet unmentioned value they have in Kim.  She already mentioned that they put her through law school.  Is that normal?  Seems like it probably isnt.  I would guess Howard didn't want to fully alienate a valued employee just to carry water for an obviously insane senior partner that isn't ever coming back.

if there's one thing dumbasses excel at, it's feeling powerful emotions and being easily led around by them.

Politics and religion are very good examples of this.

that's not what happened to cns when he hated chuck.  you don't have to suspend any disbelief, you have to be a momentary tbt.

i guess not having emotion about anything is the best way to approach life, and berating people behind a computer screen is the best option to medicate your IRL problems, apparently.

Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: TownieCat on April 10, 2015, 08:46:59 AM
The finale probably gets a C+, but season 1 gets an A-. The last scene kind of brings things full circle for Jimmy. But where is he driving to in such a hurry? It really leaves it wide open for season 2 to go in a lot of directions.

BCS reminds me more of Mad Men than Breaking Bad. The lead character is constantly fighting against himself on whether to do the right thing or to be a selfish, awful person. And for some reason you're always rooting for him to do the wrong thing because it's more entertaining.

You're pretty short-sighted sometimes. How the eff do you know if it's useless? You haven't seen what comes next. Hasn't Vince Gilligan demonstrated that seemingly insignificant details can actually have great meaning on down the line? So maybe the useful things in that episode just aren't totally apparent to us all yet.That being said, no, the episode was not terribly entertaining. Saul humming Deep Purple was pretty cool though, same with the origins of his ring. Pretty much a snoozefest though.

It was useless because after the previous episode I was able to determine that Slippin Jimmy was going to come back. The last episode was Jimmy going back home and doing the same stupid crap he was doing before his brother rescued him. The episode ended with Jimmy turning down an opportunity to do legit work. His driving out of the garage was him symbolically and literally turning his back on the man. Slippin Jimmy. It's rare in a dramatic series to have a cliff hanger that actually isn't a cliff hanger, the previous episode was that this was junk.

I also don't think it was useless.  I do think they took an hour to do something they could have done in 15 min.  I think they were just showing that he wasn't leaning toward slipping jimmy, but that he was thoroughly through trying to be anything else and gave up on the legitimate firm route forever.  Not only in a moral way in what he said to Mike, but also in his decline to even talk to a firm about a partner track job.  As bad of an episode as it was, it was the birth of the new and improved slipping jimmy where we were just pregnant before.

maybe a little less critique and a little more enjoyment of character development.  breaking bad was slow at the start, mad men(from what i have seen was), you aren't going to blow your load in the first season, why would you, then it gets bland after that. i would prefer slow and set the tone and story than blown away from the start(doesnt happen).

Just watched last weeks episode.  The commercial thing was dumb.  No clue why he was so nervous and did what he did.  His character is smart enough and a good enough talker to easily get approval to air it in some form.  Tried way too hard to create a situation to create friction between him and the firm.  He's also smart enough to know that if he's going rogue he should just use a phone number and not the firm name.  None of that story line made sense.

Same, she is annoying as crap but there's something about her character that I adore. I did miss on what I thought her role was going to be.

Mike has got to be doing something to get a gig with the cartel.  He ends up with Gus and Gus is in the same org as the salamancas.  He is buying his daughter in law a nice house and his 25k isn't covering that.  He needs decent income and understands where to get it, I bet.

In my mind's eye Kim is from Seneca, or maybe Sabetha.

I don't think Kim will die. She moves back home and that is why Jimmy/Saul chooses Omaha as a soft landing spot in Breaking Bad. It's in close proximity to Kim.

Kim seemed hesitant to reveal much of her background during that interview.  I wonder what her backstory is that caused her to get the hell out of Kansas and pick New Mexico as a landing spot.  Maybe she has a slightly shady or checkered past too??

That montage of Saul getting dressed cut with images of the inflatable guy thingy was perfect.

They've had full flashback episodes for Jimmy and Mike. Hopefully we get a pre-ABQ Kim episode soon  :pray:

In my mind's eye Kim is from Seneca, or maybe Sabetha.

I don't think Kim will die. She moves back home and that is why Jimmy/Saul chooses Omaha as a soft landing spot in Breaking Bad. It's in close proximity to Kim.

I can see this theory. I don't think she's going to die because that would crush Jimmy and I don't think he'd stick around ABQ and become Saul if something that devastating happened to him.

Okay, so the long opening single cam shot following the truck crossing the border was really rough ridin' stylish and cool.

Totally loved watching Jimmy go all chimp with a machine gun crazy while trying to sabotage HHM.

Was bummed to see in the sneak peek that his plot fails. But, hey, that's Saul. One major disappointment after another.

I mean, he really is the same guy character wise. I don't think you could say he ever snaps and stops being slipping Jimmy. He just gets mixed up with various shady characters along the way just like he has since like the second episode of BCS.

I'm actually more interested to see exactly how Mike gets in with Gus.

Saul's strip mall office in BB kills me every time. The columns, the circular windows, the goddamn Constitution wallpaper, the inflatable Statue of Liberty on the roof, and the waiting room packed full with plenty of dirty, smelly looking people, thugs, crying babies, and neck braces.

I wonder if that's his cocobolo desk.

Things are getting out of hand with Jimmy.  Im really interested to see how this plays out, though.  We're still not up to Saul yet, but it feels closer.  He won't be getting caught, i don't think, since hes still a practicing lawyer in BB (He certainly would be disbarred if he got caught forging documents) but theres no Chuck and no Kim SO WHAT HAPPENS???

I think that Chuck dies. Kim obvs knows that Jimmy did forge those documents and chose him over the "right" thing/going along with Chuck. Jimmy takes Chuck's death hard, tells Kim all the dets about him bribing the printer clerk, being there, etc. Kim realizes that Chuck was right and shuns Jimmy.

If chuck dies, Kim is the only thing keeping him from fully shedding his conscience.  That said, there is quite a bit of Kim left, imo, but we can't get into that here if spoilers are an issue for those who haven't watched Breaking Bad.

Yepper Kim knows. I'm saying that she's going to realize what Chuck has been saying all along about Jimmy and cuts ties with him, especially with Mesa Verde and them sharing the office.

Chuck won't do it, or Jimmy manipulates the sitch to get him committed to save his own ass.  I mean, this show is a view of the slope downward.  That would be a pretty great leap towards Saul.

Also, I am as much, if not more, into the Mike story as the Jimmy story.

The way that Jimmy worded his "confession" might mean that he does throw Chuck under the bus. I think he said something like "if it makes you feel better" and some other things that would leave it open to Jimmy claiming that he was trying to make Chuck feel better and get over it. Epesh on the "so can I go call Howard now and tell him you'll be back."

Yeah, i thought at the beginning that Chuck was more of a Lawful-Good character (to bring in some nerdy gaming terms) and whenever he does these bad person moves its because he's so straight laced he can't not do them.  e.g - he's so buy-the-books that he has to report Jimmy because its in the best interest of his former client, he blocked Jimmy from joining the firm because he cut corners to be there, etc. but that he was actually a good guy at heart.  This last episode kinda shows that he's probably just really an bad person/bad person.

But, at least Jimmy won't get busted, though i bet they have a "never speak to you again" falling out over this.  Its kinda a bad thing about prequels, they take away some of the suspense.  Jimmy can't get busted because felons can't be lawyers an hes a lawyer in BB.

So, I am assuming that Gus isn't a kingpin locally yet.  I mean, Nacho is obvsly getting the drugs he and Tuco sell from Hector.  Hector being wheelchair bound has to be the rise of Gus, since Tuco was selling Gus's drugs in BB.  Gotta think the Mike and Gus thing comes from COLUSION against Hector as a win/win for Gus and Mike.  Gus gets the region as the new supplier, and Mike gets the threat of Hector away from him and his fam.  That all said, I am pretty sure Tuco mentioned Hector having a stroke when Hector was introduced in BB, not being shot.   :dunno:

Thinking through it, Gus could be the note leaver.  Gus may want what Mike wants but may have a better scenario for it to happen under.

Howard was walking with Kim through the office, passing by cubicles, copiers, etc. and was just completely expressionless. Then, the instant that they crossed the threshold into the public area and conference room, he was all warm and smiley. Even considering that he now hates Kim, that was creepy.

That's because Howard is a creep. Pure and simple.

Of course he is. That guy's been a creep since he was a professor at Cal U. and he was scamming on a first-semester freshman Kelly Kapowski. Professor Lasky knew there was precious little Zack and the gang could do about it too, because they were just cretinous little freshmen and he was an accomplished head-stuffer. I mean sure, the guys could've tried to utilize the brute strength of their RA Bob Golic to help win Kelly back, but that's nothing compared having to the brain of a cultural anthropology professor. Guy's been a creep since the very first day of classes, no surprise that he would continue being that way after changing careers and moving to the Land of Enchantment.

I liked Mike figuring out what happened and his subsequent trap. Cool spy stuff.

I liked Chuck plotting his evil scheme against Jimmy and bringing Howard into it. What a bastard. What is he up to?

I like the relationship between Jimmy and Kim and how you have to wonder how hard she is going to fall. Wow, I feel bad for her.

I think the scence with the Air Force guy was supposed to show an aspect of Jimmy's continual transformation, but didn't completely work for whatever reason.

I enjoyed the episode. There may not be tons of action in the same way as BB, but there are a lot of tense moments. I know what happened to Jimmy/Saul and Mike, but there is still a lot to be determined with characters like Kim, Chuck, Howard, etc. After last night I'm most concerned for Ernesto  :ohno:

That said, the Gene in Omaha scenes to begin each season are probably 3 of the top 10 scenes in the series. The opener last night was terrific.

WC does that after every episode (yet continues to watch). So if you liked the show before, his reaction is probably pretty meaningless.

Wacky, you're good, don't let the stans get you down. That episode was slow, each of the first three seasons started out slow. Gilligan can do this because the BB stans will let him do whatever he wants and will chalk it up to art. 70 minutes for what little plot development happened was absurd. We already knew Chuck recorded Jimmy, of course he was going to use it.

Finally watched the episode on DVR.  I enjoy the slow burn.  There are quicker ways to tell the story and there are a 100 shows that will take the quick way, but Gilligan has built the credibility to move slowly and he is going to use it. 

I get distracted by my phone through most shows.  I binge watch seasons and fast forward commercials to get to the payoff.  I enjoy that BCS slowly builds tension throughout the episode since the tension that used to exist during breaks and between episodes doesn't exist much anymore.

Episodes two and three of this season were much much better, we weren't subjected to 20 minutes of Mike playing with a gas cap. The only thing they did in the other two episodes that were somewhat pretentious and self-serving was a 2 minute build-up of seeing Gus' face. Every scene is significant and obviously relevant.

I really can't handle the thought of anything physically bad happening to Kim so I'm choosing to believe her downfall will be of the personal/professional variety.  Like at the end of BCS she will be disbarred and sitting in prison or something.

I worry about the life of any character that wasn't in Breaking Bad.  I'm hoping Kim Wexler just tells Jimmy to go eff himself and she's not a casualty of war.

There may only be me who hasn't but I haven't seen BB and I have no idea which characters cross over. I think it's just Jimmy, Mike, and Gus, right? I thought nacho did too, guess not. Not sure about Howard. You know what, just don't answer this until the season is over.

Kim is going to prison for sure.  She is way too wound up on the howard stuff.  I bet she gets just a little too far over her skis, wanting to get his ass, and gets caught somehow.

I think her and Jimmy's connection has gotten too strong for her not to exist in BB if she stayed alive.  She dead.

Not if Jimmy chose his not going to prison over her. 

He mentions once in BB that he used to be married and it didn't end well.  I don't think there was any detail other than that, iirc.

"Better Call Saul is too slow" is the scorching hot take equivalent of "SNL used to be so much better back in 19XX".
I just started the final season and I marvel at how they can take 10 minutes to like unload a truck or pan across a desert.

Personally it makes me appreciate what good directing can look like. It wasn’t really until Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul that I appreciated you can build tension without jumping from one plot point to the next.

I actually only saw the second to latest! the latest looked like another black and white snoozer.

also, semi spoiler, but the period from Kim leaving to Saul living in a mansion with a hooker was quite a quick transition given how slowly everything else goes on the damn show

What bothers me is there are like 100 episodes of Saul and Walter White and Jesse. We don't need the "lost tapes" lol. Both of those scenes were just so cringey.
Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: Stevesie60 on August 14, 2022, 04:32:09 PM
It was clear they just wanted to get people to mention the scene with Walt and Jesse on Twitter so they could get a couple more viewers.

The last 3 episodes have confirmed what I was worried about, which is that the origin stories of Mike and Gus are the reason the show has been so great. The scams that Jimmy/Saul pull are really fun, but outside of those, the Saul storyline is pretty boring.
Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: MakeItRain on August 15, 2022, 02:28:03 AM
I've really enjoyed the last few episodes and I didn't even watch BB. I wasn't bothered or confused by Walter and Jesse's scenes.

The only thing I didn't like was how Gus killed Lalo, that was really stupid, and then the scene with Gus, Eladio, and Hector, equally stupid. Could they not write a more believable way for Gus to beat the Salamancas?
Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: Stevesie60 on August 15, 2022, 04:24:59 AM
I'll defend the writers' decision on that, but it's related to BB (spoilers ahead).

Gus has an inflated self esteem because of a lucky shot that killed his antithesis, and I think it's intentionally written to be like Walt's inflated self esteem based on something comparable. In BCS it was a much less glorious death of the antagonist to really drive the point home, but it seems very intentionally related to the way the protagonist kills his biggest enemy in BB.

There was literal fire in Gus eyes when he looked at Hector during that scene.

Post by: MakeItRain on August 15, 2022, 11:47:00 PM
Interesting watch for someone who didn't see BB.
-i spent this entire series wondering about Mike's daughter in law and his granddaughter. Do they have a role and resolution in BB or do they just exist to seemingly humanize Mike?
-They gave a big time spoiler about Walter White on tonight's finale and it was 100% unnecessary.
-Until Kim was introduced to the finale in the last 20 minutes, all of the things discussed were about things he did on BB. He didn't have any charges related to anything we saw on BCS.
-Was the bus ride to prison scene related to something on BB?
-Why did Howard's widow call Kim? I didn't get that at all.
Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: Stevesie60 on August 17, 2022, 08:10:33 AM
I have a hard time having sympathy for BCS having Breaking Bad spoilers. I can be talked out of that take.

I see the frustration in the things he was being charged for only occurring on Breaking Bad, but obviously those are insane things to have done and outside of robbing that store they are way more recent than anything they showed in Better Call Saul.

The bus ride thing was very strange. I definitely thought it was going to lead to the prisoners getting the bus to stop and Saul having a plan to get them all free. I definitely did not see it going in a way that redeemed Saul to some extent.

Title: Re: Official Better Call Saul thread
Post by: MakeItRain on August 17, 2022, 09:26:32 AM
No one should feel bad about the spoiler on it's own, the show has been off the air for nearly a decade. It's the fact that spent all these episodes providing no spoilers at all, then on the last episode they gave what I'd assume is the biggest spoiler, on a throwaway line, it was sloppy. Jimmy could have easily said "Jesse Pinkman is still out there" leaving some mystery, to those who haven't seen the show, about what happened to Walter. Did he become a snitch, is he in jail, is he dead?

I'm going to watch BB, hopefully, someday.

If you're going to try to pull that corny crap, why not do it with his suit in the courtroom???? The cigarette was the worst intersection of goofball-y and arty film school crap but at least a colored suit would have been full on campy and fun.
