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!!!!

I know that we have Breaking Bad this week, but the second to last episode is titled “waterworks”. I think that’s gonna be the Kim episode.

Btw the series finale episode is titled “Saul Gone”

Same. Her character has been vital to these episodes as well.

Crazy seeing this perspective from Saul’s side. He is as responsible as anybody for creating Heisenberg and leading to everyone’s downfall.

Chuck was right. Jimmy will never change no matter how many lessons he gets. You’d think the whole Breaking Bad shit would have etched in his forehead not to be a piece of garbage anymore

Saul has an addiction to 'slyly screwing somebody over'.

chuck isnt exonerable here. jimmy was always jimmy but imo chuck helped create the vicious cycle by making jimmy feel like he was never good enough no matter what. if chuck lets jimmy work at HHM to begin with, do we even reach the point we do in the show? does he completely go off the rails? or does he just get to this point in a different way? it’s not black and white.

i definitely think chuck played a huge role in jimmy/kim’s hatred of howard and their willingness to destroy his life as well.

not to say jimmy isn’t a completely irredeemable piece of shit at this point. because he is. but i think chuck played a role in creating this version of him. slippin’ jimmy was harmless. saul is evil.

You may be right.

Interaction of his cancer meds and the roofie that Saul made and the cab guy gave him. Police investigate (suggested by the 'next week scenes) Did the first guy or Saul leave any evidence, DNA, prints? Is this what gets Saul caught? (I bet Carol B. points the cops his way).

We gotta know that the show is going to let Saul come to a 'good' end. In the BB/BCS world the bad guys eventually get their just reward and it's the rare sympathetic character that gets away (Pinkman in El Camino).

Bob odenkirk specifically said about the ending that actions have consequences. I think something very bad is still in store. And from all the cast interviews I still think there’s a gut wrenching curveball still ahead.

FYI the o phone booth call was to Kim per the German dub. There’s also a YouTuber who was able ro use tech to get some of what he was saying.

Kim apparently tells Jimmy to turn himself in. I wonder if she’s saying that bc her phone is tapped? Francesca mentioned she heard clicking on her calls.

You don't need a German dub to know that. He called the operator to get her number.
As for the what he was saying, I don't believe the YouTuber.
