Lyriqz ✪ Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't know why but I found it odd that the last episode was completely free of Nacho. He made it clear he was mad at him and Saul didn't exactly did a good job at hiding that he called them. So why is he not being confronted at all? Aside from that, I really enjoyed the last episode. The whole petty war against the lawfirm and his relationship with Chuck is interesting and entertaining, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmerc Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 This is a very slow paced show, very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 This is a very slow paced show, very slow. Is that supposed to be a negative thing? While I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a high-tempo show, I don't think it's plodding around. It's methodically paced. You didn't find last night's episode compelling in any way? Personally, I enjoyed piecing together as to what happened to Mike's son. The episode also further reminded me just how good Jonathan Banks is.

Generations Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Great episode. As for it being slow, I don't even feel like it is slow. Do people forget what Breaking Bad was actually like? Because Saul is almost identical in the way that the episodes progress. BB was a very methodical show as well. I guess people have just forgoten that.

Lyriqz ✪ Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I love the pace, honestly. Haven't had a single boring episode in BB and aside from the pilot, wasn't bored one time with BCS either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, what you've said might just be the reason why I've never been able to watch Breaking Bad in the past... after a few more BCS episodes under my belt, I might just give that series another try.

Rubbersoul Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm not really a big fan of the Chuck side of storyline. I know why Saul is doing it but there isn't enough background story on him for me to care about him. Really good show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Great episode. As for it being slow, I don't even feel like it is slow. Do people forget what Breaking Bad was actually like? Because Saul is almost identical in the way that the episodes progress. BB was a very methodical show as well. I guess people have just forgoten that. My con with the episode before this week's was that the scenes just simply had no impact or panache to them. While I did love the opening scene to the ep, it just dragged on too much for me in terms of what happened. I don't mind having episodes that are methodically slow, but I would prefer them methodical albeit satisfying. The episode between Chuck/Saul just didn't interest me much. That being said, this week's episode was freaking great. Am I the only one who felt happiness when Mike showed Jimmy's card to the two cops in the I.R ? Plus I don't know, I feel like the two have this kind of oddball chemistry or charm whenever they are on-screen together (despite the fact very little has happened up to now between them, dialogue-wise). Also, Jonathan Banks is a great actor, man. Like, he can do so little in an episode but it can add a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips. Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 That's the best episode so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-O_D- Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 First and probably last time you'll see Mike get emotional like that. Yeah, I think this was the best episode so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 On an unrelated note, I also like the Better Call Saul theme song more than the Breaking Bad one at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHavoc Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 First and probably last time you'll see Mike get emotional like that. Yeah, I think this was the best episode so far. Indeed...Holy hell that was so much good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustacio Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bob Odenkirk is so goddamn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeG Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I didn't think I'd like it much cause I thought it'd be too gimmicky and lulzy but honestly I love it. I LOVE the Mike origins story we're getting lately. Last week's episode was one of the best eps of any show in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bob Odenkirk is so goddamn good. He really is the perfect guy for this role. I liked him in Fargo and his guest stuff in Arrested Development and HIMYM too, but this is really THE role for him. Can't imagine anyone else doing this well as Saul.

TheHavoc Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 You know what I like about this series? The fact that even though the build-up episodes are so many...and you know that the payoff is gonna be huge... They are not bad...In fact they are incredibly good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I prefer the psychological aspects, honestly. I like when a show has a lot of good, intense build up to some sparse but amazing high tempo finales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Show is getting so good now. Just watched the latest two episodes. The shit with the retirement home is *censored*ing hilarious. Especially when he goes into the dumpster and gets covered in shit...only to check the recycling bin immediately after and find all of the paper.

ThreeG Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 ^ YES! This show is too good. Any word if its getting more seasons? I don't pay attention to rumor sites too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-O_D- Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well on the commercials, the narrator said there are 2 episodes left this season so I'm guessing there will be another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well on the commercials, the narrator said there are 2 episodes left this season so I'm guessing there will be another season. That really doesn't mean anything, aside from the fact that the first season ends in two episodes... But I'm sure there will be more. Unless they wrap up everything they want to tell about Saul and Mike in a single season, which doesn't seem like the case...because they've only just begun with their origins. I mean, it took the entire first season just for them to start working together. Now they need to actually show some of the jobs they did before Breaking Bad.

-O_D- Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah I thought about that after I posted. Plus like u said, I'm sure there will be more as they have yet to even get to the point of him changing his name to Saul. I think there's a lot more to tell with Mike and him as well.

PaperThinWalls Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 There's going to be a season 2. AMC ordered a second season way before the series even premiered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
