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!!!!

What took so long? Do you any idea how much time it takes for a writer's room to create a script for an hour long broadcast, especially one that's high quality, let alone, 13?

Do you have any idea how long it takes to cast and film an hour long program?

Do you have any idea how long it takes to edit, create the sound design, score, record ADR and mix an hour long program?

Here's a hint: Much, much longer than you'd think.

quality programming doesn't take or not take any set amount of time.

I appreciate the work that goes into a well plotted and filmed show, but let's not pretend that these people are clocking in 9-5 Mon-Fri week in, week out to craft something time consuming and intricate that's plotted from the beginning.

The delays are driven more by buffering to make room for creative inspiration, side projects, network calendars, marketing, sweeps, etc. than work rate.

Further, Saul is set in one place with reliable and temperate weather. NOt like GoT making arrangements for shoots on several continents, in several climates, often condition dependent, and usually historically protected.

Heck, Odenkirk authored, assembled, shot and broadcast a brilliant season of Mr. Show With Bob and David in the interim. Good for him, great for us. But it gives lie to the fiction that he's been slaving away at Better Call Saul for the past year.

Easy there Daney boy, I'm not Hollywood aficionado, but I've seen well written shows with more special effects and a higher paid cast get the next season done in half the time. I'm just bitching as a fan, I just want to see as much as BCS as possible. Bob Odenkirk ain't gettin' any younger.

You are completely talking out if your ass.

I'm stunned.

This is absolutely, unequivocally, false.

Again, I'm just stunned that you would even post something in which you're completely unaware.

I'm not talking about Odenkirk. I'm talking about the rest of the production. Writing 13 episodes. Casting, filming, editing, Post Production, etc.

I'm just in shock that you would post so confidently about something you know nothing about.
