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!!!!

Just finished re-watching season 4, with hours to spare! Man, I'm glad I re-watched it. I had completely forgotten about so many things.

Talk about character development. It took a really long time to warm up to Kim. But that last scene was terrific. I don't know where they're taking her story arc but it's going to get real big real fast.

And that's why we put up with the wait.
Some of those scenes....the tension is dripping off my TV.

Kim's going to leave him because she's afraid she'll turn into SG.

The intro was the most interesting part.

It’s obvious those guys aren’t just fans. Saul’s instincts were correct but he didn’t trust in them.

Yep, from where she started at the first of the show till now.... It's hard for an actor to be "torn" up about something on camera. She was really a side story and now she's right in the middle bringing the acting chops and the writers/directors giving her something to work with to produce that tension.

Fantastic episode 1 of the new season. Great show as always, but it really is best suited to sit down and binge watch. Feel like it's only a matter of time that the new Salamanca guy is dead.

Michael Mando's character Nacho is fantastic. If they wanted to do yet another spin off, they might have something there.

Did I read my TV guide right, too? Episode 2 is already set to air tonight?

So u think the cab driver is some sort of law enforcement?

I got the idea he really was just a cab driver. Can't figure out what Jimmy was referring to when he said, "I change my mind I'm gonna take care of it."

Yup. I looked at tomorrow and it says it's an episode about Jimmy's phone scheme backfiring on him.

Whatever happens it's going to be heartbreaking. I also wonder if Jimmy's slippery scheme she just jumped into is going to backfire on her.

Yes it is. Two episodes to kick off the season is a great way of getting the fanbase back into the groove.
