Better Call Saul


As I am sure many of y'all already know, a spinoff of "Breaking Bad" titled "Better Call Saul" will be airing in 2014. This is going to be a prequel to Breaking Bad and will be based on the character of Saul Goodman from "Breaking Bad."

I, for one, will be watching. I'm sure the majority of all of you other "Breaking Bad" fans will be as well. Might as well get the discussion going sooner rather than later.

So... what are your hopes, expectations and/or concerns with the show? Here are some of mine:

Hopes: I hope to see Saul do his thing in the courtroom. I hope to see strong, unique supporting characters. I hope to see Breaking Bad foreshadowing. I hope he has an intriguing paralegal and/or assistant. I hope to see Breaking Bad characters such as Fring, Mike, etc...whoever. I hope the show kicks ass.

Expectations: I don't expect it to be as good as "Breaking Bad" (because nothing else is, really), but I expect it to be good since Vince Gilligan is writing. I somewhat expect it to have an even balance of comedy and drama...since Saul undeniably provides a substantial amount of comedic relief in "Breaking Bad." I expect to see "courtroom Saul." I expect the "Breaking Bad" references and character cameos to be less than what I hope. If it isn't even a fraction as good as "Breaking Bad," I expect it to be better than 95% of everything else on TV, since there is some shitty shit on TV these days.

Concerns: I'd be a liar if I were to say that I didn't think this show has potential of flopping and certainly failing to meet the presumed high expectations of the audience. Don't get me wrong, I think it will be good... but I think it COULD suck if not executed properly. My main concern is Saul ultimately proving himself to be a "little dab will do ya" type of character, which would lead to a show centered around his character not working out. I am hoping that the character of Saul will not be so over-used and constantly over the top, that he becomes annoying to me, thus ruining his character for me altogether... Not saying I think this will be how it goes down...just saying I think there is a CHANCE of this being the case, which prompts me to believe that a strong supporting cast is VITAL in terms of the amount of success/quality this show will accumulate. All in all, I don't think VG will steer us in an unfortunate direction though...I think they'll pull it off.

Thoughts?

DISCUS!!!!

I just don’t think it is man. Jimmy had a gun held to his head with seconds away from getting killed before Mike saved his ass in the bag Man episode. Jimmy was even in shock over the whole thing dealing with the cartel and their extremely dangerous lifestyle and he still decided that it was fine to get involved with that after nearly dying and losing Kim.

He isn’t changing

I liked it. Didn't have the dramatic flair of the BB ending but was professionally done and satisfying and real and honest.

I'm really curious whether I'm on an island with this take. But it was such a terrific show and it ended in a way I'm not remotely surprised or disappointed by. And that leaves me satiated.

I think the series landed well.

He had decided he would work his butt off to get his sentence reduced as much as possible and had succeeded.
Then he finds out Kim had fully confessed.
Then on the plane he finds out Kim was civilly exposed from Howard's widow who wanted some justice.
He orchestrates a new hearing, arranges to have Kim present, and then falls on his sword - so that Howard's widow will have a sense that someone is paying a price for his death and maybe leaves Kim alone.
He becomes a prison celebrity.

Thought it was great. I already miss this show.

Looking back, there were various moments in the last few seasons and early in this season when I thought the show was on the verge of jumping the shark. But not only did it never happen, I think the last several episodes might be the strongest of the series. They came through.
