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!!!!

They're good in doses, but their podcast is a little much for the frequency they put them out.

Daniel Van Kirk's scouring the world for stupid criminals saves a lot of their content, now making Dumb People Town a better pod than Sklarbro Country.

It was. It was also one of the best scenes. Boy was I nervous—over not wanting a criminal to be caught. Hard not to sympathize, with the dude caring about his family getting brought into the business.

I can still enjoy the show, but it crossed my mind frequently, how much older he looks than he should be since it's earlier in time. So much so that I had to go look his age up.

I not only hate waiting a week but a whole year for the next season. Waaaaay too long.

That's a great point. I didn't think of it that way but it definitely fits in well.

For sure but the score, multiple camera angles and lighting were just as important to the scene.

According to an interview with McKean, the role of Chuck came down to him and Ed Begley Jr.

Discuss.

Well I'll say it. I think he would have been better in this role. I can definitely see it.

Taking nothing away from McKeon's performance.

What's been great about Better Call Saul is how often they take one scene and draw it out for an eternity. Filming the border crossing in one shot was outstanding. All the scenes where Mike waits are more intense because nothing happens.

This scene reminded me of the firecracker scene from Boogie Nights. It's so long and drawn out and intentionally pokes at the viewer. Awesome episode.

I love that Boogie Nights scene. The insanity is drawn out for so long it create an intensity that's hard to quantify.

the firecracker scene was insane and the original script was even wilder. the scene didn't end with Rahad pulling out a shottie. it was supposed to end with Rahad shooting an RPG at a police chopper

In Episode 1.3 Saul used a pay phone.

Notice the initials written in green?
