The hardest part to believe is that Mr. Kettleman would take the trash out that night and just happen to notice the bills in the back of the RC truck that is on the ground, ten feet away from where he's looking.

Or that he isn't immediately suspicious of money showing up in his backyard.

Money.

I've had offers of up to $12,000 a day to shoot in my home. The problem is that that money often goes towards the repairs caused by the crew.

An exterior shot is probably half that but you're opening up your home to the kind of nonsense this family is experiencing.

I finally caught up to this show the past few days. I've never seen a TV program with so many expectations from fans and media actually immdiately exceed those lofty expectations.

One of my friends and former roomies is the sound mixer of Saul (and The Good Wife, BabyLee) and I was told the show was good but I didn't expect it to be *this* good.

Vimce Gilligan has now entered that David Chase/Matthew Weiner strata.

That's why they yelled at the kids before lights out.

Great find, interesting take from all 3 views. I have never watched an entire discussion on a television show for more than five minutes. This had me wanting more after 90 minutes.

Yeah....I went into the show expecting to be slightly disappointed. This show is ****ing glorious.

this is what happens when Writers/Producers take pride in their work and expect their actor/actresses to be prepared PRIOR to shooting day.

I assume you watched Breaking Bad?

You let Mikey Charm you. Dude is old school gangster. You don't make it to 70 and then break bad.

God damn this show is great.

I fear for what will happen to Jimmy in the next episode. I don't think using Chuck's printer code was very smart.

Buck 03-23-2015 09:34 PM

By the way I didn't realize McKean would be such a main character, but he is such a great actor that I couldn't imagine the show without him now.

Ugh, this is so wrong I don't know where to start.

BWillie 03-23-2015 10:28 PM

Maybe King of Hollywoof Dane McCloud can tell us when to expect Gus Fring to appear.

Buehler445 03-23-2015 11:14 PM

This shit is so good. I get ****ing immersed in it and forget sometimes that he turns to Saul. I forget Mike became a drug dealer henchmen. I didn't expect it to be even in this universe.

Sauls character in BB was a lot of comic relief. There isn't much comedy in his story here, but his clever little quips are still around. It's very well done. Like when he tells Mrs Kettlemen that even on a good day her and logic are disconnected made me laugh my ass off, but it wasn't just him being a smart ass, he was freaking distract he gave his money away. It was a very nice transition from his BB character to this one.

Just awesome.

If you watched the roundtable above, they get into that. Jonathan Banks is not an actor who likes improv. He wants things laid out and rehearsed ahead of time. He bitches about working on Hangover II, saying he told the improv heavy cast 'I'm going over here, you guys do whatever it is you're doing. When you're through, tell me my cue and we'll go.'

Odenkirk also noted that there was considerable debate when a line was changed from 'last Wednesday' to 'last Tuesday' in the written script

For positive or negative, these episodes are writer's vision episodes. They have specific marks and lines and camera angles that they seek to tie together into a coherent narrative from a precise POV.

There are other approaches, but the one RobBlake ascribes to BCS is accurate.
