[ScalsFan21]

Recently re-binged the whole season and enjoyed it even more than I did the first time around. Even though anyone who's seen BB has a general idea of where the story is headed, with these writers BCS has the upside to really become legendary.

I never thought I'd actually be able to view a spinoff show as anything else, but it really is its own thing. Doesn't seem like it gets much hype and I think a lot of that is because a lot of Breaking Bad fans want it to be just as good and just as fast-paced right off the bat. But now that they've had a season to feel things out and figure out strengths/weaknesses or whatever, I think it'll be pretty good. Excited for the premiere tonight.

[LJJ]

I watched most of this on the airplane, actually ended up liking it better than Breaking Bad. The first season was self-contained and a lot of fun, I hope they keep it nice and fluffy and don't try to make it too bleak.

[ScalsFan21]

That's true but considering some of the things that happened in Breaking Bad, there's definitely going to be a Heisenberg-esque descent into bleakness in this show too. They'll probably keep it a lighter though and hopefully it doesn't lose the humor element.

[Tarik One]

It will probably open up with another flash-forward scene

[bladefd]

Can't wait for season 2 tonight. Will be good :cheers:

[Patrick Chewing]

Having never seen Breaking Bad, I'm glad I'm watching BCS first. Rooting for Jimmy!

BB has a lot of Mexicans so it might not be your cup of tea seeing as how your racist republican ass doesn't like Mexicans.

This is interesting. Some references may go over your head at first, but it's gonna be incredible catching them "in reverse" or on a rewatch after you do see Breaking Bad at some point. That being said, I think some people may just assume you saw it and spoil things about it in this thread. Hard to keep it non-spoiler in full, if you care about that stuff.

[highwhey]

Totally forgot about the cinabon gig

Bold prediction, BCS will leapfrog GoT as the consensus best show on TV rn as soon as the end of THIS season.

Great opening episode

[bladefd]

That switch at the end has me very much intrigued... I wonder if it is in place to spy on him? Maybe for a camera or security system? It could take us to last season with the million he embezzled and gave back. Maybe somebody wants to trap him. :confusedshrug:

It's symbolism in contrast to the opening scene.

Flash-forward Saul who is a mere shell of his former self and overly cautious. Chooses not to set the emergency door alarm off for fear off being exposed and nabbed by the cops.

Then there's Jimmy McGill the risk taking brash attorney withas little regard for the rules. He flips that switch as if the sign wasn't even there.

Ahhhh, that makes sense. So there is no literal meaning to the switch, only metaphoric.

[90sgoat]

Yes, it shows something about his character, he is the type who has to do something if he is told he can't do it - and that's what gets him into trouble.

I enjoyed this episode even though the whole show moves very slowly. They're milking it but it's still worth watching because of the great acting.

[Smoke117]

Fuuuuuuuck I forgot to record it. I actually just watched breaking bad and season 1 of better call saul over the last 6 weeks and Saul for season 2 which of course I forgot.

[Thorpesaurous]

I enjoyed it too. I keep thinking something has to turn him from Jimmy into Saul, and my guess is that something is going to happen to Kim. She's the only character they've got who matters enough to him to push him to change.

[lil jahlil]

Ok first episode. What is great about this show is that even when pretty much nothing happens, I am still fascinated by the dialog and acting.

[lil jahlil]

I enjoyed it too. I keep thinking something has to turn him from Jimmy into Saul, and my guess is that something is going to happen to Kim. She's the only character they've got who matters enough to him to push him to change.
Yeah, particularly since we are pretty sure he doesn't end up with her.

He is not really different, I'm guessing he uses the Sand Piper money to set up his own firm. And who knows maybe the flash forward Saul is way after events of BB?

[Town's Town]

Playuh

You can maybe get a general estimate by how much hair he has lost. I wonder how much they will get into overlapping timelines and future timelines.

Well you can't depend on a loser and depressed makeup but my bet is that he gets like that after BB.

[Town's Town]

I'm a little confused on what you mean by this relating to the timeline. It is clearly after BB and he is clearly depressed about missing his old life, but the question is how much after BB is the flash forwards.

[ZeN]

Yeah, particularly since we are pretty sure he doesn't end up with her.
Thats because shes going to die...

[enayes]

For anyone who missed it or Walking Dead:

AMC allows you to watch the most recent episodes for free without any login on their website.

Ah, I thought some people were wondering if it was between the two shows, regarding how long after BB, I'd say not long after he loses motivation and misses the thrill that working with W&J had. Considering Mike's death, which in turn coupled with Marco's death before, could result in him becoming lost and lonely.
On another note, since the shows starts 6 years before BB, this show could last longer than expected.

Get Netflix you cheap Mfer.

You cant watch newly released episodes on Netflix.

Netflix is probably where he watched BB/BCS as he stated.

[JohnnySic]

Dumb ass with the hummer. :lol

[Thorpesaurous]

Either that or she just breaks his heart something fierce. Or maybe he gets her arrested or disbarred or something. I don't know, but something's gonna happen.

I'm just interested by the fact that he inscribes SG at the beginning flash forward, but from what we know, he's still JM. And whatever happens he identifies with the SG enough that he's still signing by it even after that life is essentially over.

[Town's Town]

Get Netflix you cheap Mfer.
Not on Netflix.

However, you can watch it on AMC.com

[RoseCity07]

It's still one of my favorite shows on TV. I was a huge Breaking Bad fan. I like season one of BCS but I don't feel the urge to rewatch any of it like I did with Breaking Bad. I think this season will be better though.

The best show on television right now is a cartoon. Don't know if any of you have seen Rick and Morty but if you haven't you need to check it out. It's seriously one of the best shows I've ever seen period. I'm happy I gave it a chance.

[ScalsFan21]

It's already better than BB. :cheers:

For me, I'm not quite there yet but I think it has the potential which I never thought I'd say.

I would say Kim dies as a result of Jimmy's actions and Chuck fades out of Jimmy's life, or vice versa, but that would almost be too obvious. I think VG and company will zig when we think they'll zag. There needs to be a built-in unpredictability to make up for the fact that we already know where all this eventually leads on some level. That's why I'd be surprised if he somehow got Kim killed or something like that.

Seeing as how Dunksby is from another country, he may be right. While Season 1 was still airing, I took a vacation to Mexico and logged into Netflix, was surprised they had Better Call Saul Season 1 episodes even though the season was still airing. They released the episode on Netflix the day after it aired in the US.


Not sure if this is still the case.

I remember reading about some trick that allowed you to change your location in Netflix and get access to more stuff. But I also recently read that at the end of 15, Netflix's CEO, who had previously expressed no interest in fixing this loophole, mentioned that for whatever reason, by the end 16 they intended to close it. I'm sure they got pressure from studios.

[bladefd]

Get Kodi. I have it on fireTV stick. I can watch anything I want on it from past or current. Any movie, cartoon, anything. Better Call Saul was out on there in one hour after it came on tv. YouTube has videos that show you how to install it on fire stick. You just need internet. I have it installed on both my pc and fire stick.

[Tarik One]

Well you can't depend on a loser and depressed makeup but my bet is that he gets like that after BB.
My guess is that it's present day. The events of Breaking Bad ended in 2009....2010 at the very latest.

[dunksby]

Season 1. Not season 2. Netflix releases full seasons, not 1 episode at a time as they are airing.
So "Switch" is from season 1? Probably it's a region thing.

Oh yes, I believe you could achieve this through a proxy server. But I also read the same thing as you did, that they were planning on shutting it down. Imo, the Mexican region (I never tried any other regions) offered a much better selection of films and shows.

[enayes]

Spoiler alert:





The switch turned off a light in an adjacent office. They keep the switch "always on" to give the person in the other office full control over their light. Makes sense.

[highwhey]

So at the very end when Jimmy or Saul begins to explain how he made the video thereby manufacturing evidence, Kim has this face of disgust because she does not approve of this. That's the moment she begins to doubt her relationship with Jimmy, and if she's anything like a woman in real life, she has already begun the trajectory of falling out of love with him. That's a one way trajectory with no chance of return. Wether she dies down the road, it doesn't matter in the long run, things will never be the same after this revelation. They may try to hook up again, but Jimmy's way of being will always bother her.

[ScalsFan21]

Not sure. I would definitely think so but I'm not 100% sure just how much of it she knows. I'm assuming they met in the mail room after Jimmy came to Albuquerque to "clean up his act", so I wonder if she only got to know the hardworking version of Jimmy who was trying to better himself.

Like she said, it is one thing to scam people a little on the side, but this directly jeopardizes his job and her job (her knowledge of it without reporting is an ethical violation I assume).

[dunksby]

Better Call Saul has turned into a whole different show this season, hasn't it? I'm loving this metamorphosis, that whole commercial business, from Jimmy recommending it to Cliff to their phone conversation later was great TV. This is the kind of show that will blow up soon and be on everybody's radar.

[highwhey]

Just put tonight's episode on...my god. The first scene

[ScalsFan21]

Tonight's episode was another gem... this show is already the best show on TV, it's just a matter of how long it's going to take for everyone to realize it.

The attention to detail on this show is second to none but that's pretty much just icing on the cake.

[highwhey]

Mike is tight

[bluechox2]

this story is going to be better than breaking bad...

the casting is perfect

its like watching a side mission of breaking bad, but nothing to do with

No doubt.

[Bless Mathews]

[Patrick Chewing]

The dialogue here is some of the best dialogue I have ever seen on TV.

Only thing I can think of that comes close is True Detective Season 1.

[Sarcastic]

Slow episode, till the end. Great cliffhanger.

[Springsteen]

I can't tell if Chuck really wants to warn the world about Jimmy's faults with good intentions, or just share the hatred he harbors for him.

This is so well written.

[Carbine]

I'll say this.

This is the most professional TV show going right now.

[bladefd]

I can't tell if Chuck really wants to warn the world about Jimmy's faults with good intentions, or just share the hatred he harbors for him.

This is so well written.

It's the latter. I remember the expression on his face when his joke didn't work with his wife like Jimmy's jokes had. Chuck is clearly jealous that Jimmy is smarter than him but also pissed that Jimmy continues to get away with his illicit tactics around each and every corner. Chuck has clearly worked very hard to do it the right way and then this guy, who happens to be his brother, comes along and does whatever he wants his way even if it goes against ethics and morals. Chuck wants Jimmy to fall for that.

So it's both a matter of envy and outrage.

[highwhey]

Am i the only one who would hit Kim? Her fine ass...

Anyway, I lol'ed when Jimmy pulled up to Mike and said "the first rule of fight club is..." Then he ensues to hum to the tune of the rocky exit song. Loved the references.

I agree Slippin Jimmy isn't even in it very long. I wonder how the drama is going to play out with Tuco and Mike.

Very true. He wanted Jimmy gone and his wife to hate him, even when the wife found him pleasant. It ate him up that his wife liked his brother. I assume that is part of what led to their divorce.

That is the only thing that is missing, but there is more emotion and better dialog in this. The best parts of dialog in Breaking Bad were one liners: "I am the one who knocks!" "Say my name."

[Smoke117]

Series is compelling but very slow moving. The Breaking Bad shock moments are absent.

The storylines that have to do with Jimmy/Saul have been pretty dull this season. The main reason is that the humor from the first season has been very limited...this last episode where he's trying to get himself fired was the first legit funny episode of this season. None of the lawyer stuff has been particularly interesting this season.

Man...that was brutal. Reading the sypnosis of the next episode, i think we know where we are headed to, especially given the fact that the next episode is the season finale. As a brother, that last scene shook me.

[Thorpesaurous]

Honestly, I had sort of had my fill of the Chuck Jimmy dynamic, and they seem to have concluded it, or escalated it, just in the nick of time for my taste anyway. The confrontation would've even been enough for me. Adding in the end just seemed rougher after having already gone through the confrontation.

I thought the cold open was great, with the robbery. And I generally liked all the Mike stuff.

They're doing an interesting thing here where they've mirrored the two relationships, Jimmy and Kim vs. Chuck, and Mike and Nacho vs. Hector Salamanca.

Both Kim and Nacho are sort of unwitting accomplices. They both stand to lose quite a bit based on the behavior of other people, Jimmy and Mike, that they didn't agree to (the robbery and the forgery). But both of them seem like they're just a bit too tempted to go along with it after the fact, now that the rewards seem clear. Is Howard Hamlin the eventual parallel to Gus Fring? The Bar association? Does Chuck's head bump turn him from the brilliant adversary they were talking about into a drooling vegetable, not unlike the change we haven't seen happen yet, but know eventually will to Hector?

I'm predicting something like that too, but mostly because of the parallels I'm reading into between Mike and Jimmy, and Jimmy having seemingly crippled Chuck, albeit inadvertently.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point if the Tio crippling also comes as somewhat inadvertent. Something that only Mike knows he's responsible for (like Tio getting hit from upstairs for losing that money, and then Mike feels responsible for it in a way.) Then both he and Jimmy have a sort of breaking point where they both realize they've been tip toeing on the line for so long, and they've both gotten caught (in that someone has been hurt by a result of their actions), and why not just full on go over the line now anyway. Jimmy crosses the line and loses Kim, and Mike crosses the line and loses his daughter in law, and the full access to his granddaughter.

[ZeN]

We already know that something is going to happen to the granddaughter and her mother, that is bad enough, to were Mike wont be able to see his granddaughter during breaking bad.

Yeah, something is going to happen to end Mike's relationship with his granddaughter the same way something will happen to end Jimmy's relationship with Kim.

[CP3PO]

I'm confused. Doesn't Mike see his granddaughter in BB? On multiple occasions? He even tries to leave her a bunch of money.

How can he sneak a minor around and away from her house without her mother knowing?

[Tarik One]

I believe a massive stroke will cause Tio to become paralyzed, not necessarily a gunshot. Pay attention to his reaction when he found out about the money being taken. He was acting very unusual physically. I believe that was done intentionally as a sign for what is going to happen to him.

[Tarik One]

Leaving the note on Mike's windshield was orchestrated by Gus and Nacho was in on it. That's why Nacho was blocking Hector preventing Mike from getting a clear shot. However, it wasn't Nacho who left the note himself. There wasn't enough time for him to get up there.

I almost feel as if I need to watch Breaking Bad again because I'm forgetting where the stories connect :facepalm

[Sarcastic]

Final episode was good, not great. I think it dragged too much.

The first scene was really good though. Showed how much Chuck really despised Jimmy, when he didn't tell him about the mom's final words.

I am curious what they will do with the tape next.

Chuck cannot use the tape in a court of law because he got the confession through illegal means without consent. What he is going to do is blackmail and force a wedge between Jimmy and Kim. He will also go to the company and make them drop Kim again. Things are about to get very dirty and we will see Jimmy retaliate significantly to the point where he will cut all ties with Chuck. Chuck is a goner considering he needs Jimmy more than he knows it.

Apparently in NM there's a law where just one party present needs to consent to the recording. I think he could absolutely use it against Jimmy legally based on that, but I think we all know he won't because otherwise Jimmy could never stay in the law.

I think he is going to use it against Jimmy and thats why he will have to turn into the fraudulent Saul Goodman. Everyone always say they want to see how he turned into Saul but really its the story of why he had to stop being Jimmy McGill.

Also, if you click the youtube link that a previous poster linked on this thread it shows how when Saul first met Badger he had him pay him with a money order made out to a shell company. The reason for that is that he cannot be paid under either name of Jimmy or Saul.

Wow, interesting points!

How can he possibly get away with a fraudulent name with tv commercials and advertisements splattered over park benches without someone finding out about it?

Season definitely got better towards the end...but all in all it was just above average for me. With Gus coming next season and the Jimmy and Chuck drama reach a climax...next season should be really good though.

Can't wait to catch up over the summer.

Didn't feel like a finale. Honestly, the episode before it was more intense like a finale.

I figured the issue isn't consent, but rather that Jimmy could argue in court that he lied to make his brother feel better. He stated many times in the recording was that his goal was to make his brother feel better.

I agree. Although I liked the Mike ending.

The Mike ending was good. Potentially would have been better if people didn't already solve that puzzle.

[I know you are]

In fact, Mike's role in general is more entertaining. He brings a little more of the Breaking Bad element of intensity with him. The final scene with him was totally something Walt would experience: Circumstance interfering with his plan, and then the surprise note and him having that confused look on his face.

Now that you mention it, Walt did experience it in a way when he was gonna kill Gus at his house, phone rings, Gus tells him to go home

[Patrick Chewing]

Who could have left that note for Mike??

[I know you are]

Who could have left that note for Mike??
Any of Gus's goons. I think Gus just wants Hector for himself as he did in BB.

Precisely.

He doesn't DESPISE Jimmy...he's just a narcissistic ****ing asshole of a jealous prick. And Chuck isn't completely wrong...he's worked his ass off and done everything by the book while Jimmy has been a screw up most of his life (who depended on Chuck to get him out of trouble)...but who does everyone like? Jimmy. Throughout their lives, he's always been favored over Chuck despite:wtf: the fact that he's been causing more problems than solutions in most of his life. That would grate on anybody.

[JohnnySic]

When is Chuck gonna die already? That pos.

[Hawker]

When is Chuck gonna die already? That pos.

Yep.

Chuck is the Skyler of Better Call Saul.

[JohnnySic]

Yep.

Chuck is the Skyler of Better Call Saul.
Skyler wasn't that bad. At least she tried to do what was best for her family.

Chuck's whole purpose is to destroy Jimmy. He needs a grand send-off.

[I know you are]

Walt's weapon was smarts and violence. Jimmy's is smarts and manipulation of the law. I hope Jimmy frames Chuck and sends him away to prison. Maybe by the end of the series, we fast forward to Saul after BB, and Chuck not believing he is dead and tracking him down after a release from prison.

[JohnnySic]

BUMP!

Season 6 begins April 18th.

The season 2 thread was the only one I could find. :D
