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!!!!

Oh, it's annoying! It's like sitting down to watch a really good movie and someone keeps pausing it every 1/2 hour and tells you to go to bed but you can watch another 1/2 hour next week. I don't mind The Walking Dead doing that because it's silly but BCS is a pretty good story.

Did that with SOA and watched the final season weekly. Binge watching is much better. However, I do like looking forward to something a few nights a week. Sunday - TWD, Monday BCS, Tuesday - NCIS/American Crime Story Wednesday - American Crime/American Horror story when it is in season Thursday - Big Bang Theory am now binging Penny Dreadful from Showtime as well. I can then fill the rest of the times with movies, testing other series, etc.

So, I've decided to binge-watch Breaking Bad again since I've been so into BCS. The writing early on in BB is ok, not great. However, right before season 5, it really got excellent. Cranston is one hell of an actor and you can tell when Aaron Paul really started to get his chops.
That's what makes for an excellent show. When the story is so damned engaging that you don't care if they're making meth or filming a commercial for a lawsuit.
It's all about the storyline and the actors involved.

I'm on run three of the show. It's on Sundance channel, 3 episodes every Wednesday. I'll never not watch that show if it's on. I never saw it when it was on AMC. Watched the first episode with headphones, in bed, while my wife was asleep. I told her about the show the next day and we were hooked.

Man, this is such a great show. Terming it a spin-off doesn't do it justice.

I don't think of it as spin off. It is a never ending story. A lot of starting and stoping points.
