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!!!!

Well, since you admitted you are trolling, I guess it more proper to say you are bad a trolling than simply wrong.

The good news is, your crops are definitely safe from crows.

As strange as this sounds, he is the Hank in this show. Kim might be, but even she pulled cons with Jimmy in the past.
Yes, she has, but minor ones like that one in the bar. But the account she lost and regained via Jommy's bit and the screw job by her former boss...well I see that as justice. She still has a good heart though. Better than most on the show.

I find it more interesting this way. It's nuanced trolling. Otherwise I'd find the conversation a little repetitive. Afterall, we know where this is going and have known since day 1.
We don't really know where it goes for Kim—just that she will be out of the picture at some point.

Who could die any day too. Or become too sick to enjoy the money.

If Hamlin = Hank in this situation, Kim = Skyler.

She's all about her morals until it becomes far too inconvenient for her or for someone she loves. She's willing to bend that line almost to the breaking point.

I guess the question here is, who's pinkman? Lol

Right. The other reason why I thought she would die in the crash.

Just because Kim isn't in breaking bad doesn't mean she's dead
She and Jimmy may have just parted ways
or they could be happily married for all we know
Chuck wasn't in BB either
either was Howard Hamlin
or a bunch of others...doesn't mean they're dead

Yep.

Kim has shown that she knows about Jimmy, but doesn't want to "know".

I'll take a wild guess and say 2 more seasons after this one. 5 total just like BB.
