Royal Nakamura Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 So you think: The ending of BCS could show a surprise shot of Walter White emerging to get things back into business with Gene/Saul? I'm actually beginning to kind of see the feasibility of it, since Gene seems so goddamn bored with his Cinnabon job, plus the "SG WAS HERE" engraving at the start pretty much shows he could return to that life for a kick.

PaperThinWalls Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 No, no, no. Bad idea. Walt needs to stay dead. It makes no narrative/thematic sense to bring him back to me. He's dead. If they bring him back, it would completely mar BB's ending. That said, I'm all for continuing Jimmy/Saul/Gene's present-day story. I totally encourage them to do that. Anyway, ditto with what G said. It wasn't an explosive premiere, but I love the way things are developing. Glad to see Pryce return. I'm a fan of Mark Proksch and his work.

Generations Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 ^ But, he isn't even "dead"...that's just an assumption. You can't say "he needs to stay dead"...when there is absolutely nothing to definitively support him being dead to begin with. I think that ending just feeds into society's desire for everything to have a clear cut resolution. And I don't think that's the case here. And I think it was done intentionally. Also, I think there's plenty that could be done from there. Could do at least a whole season where Walt is in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 But what's the point of doing a whole season of Walt in prison? What's the gain from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 But what's the point of doing a whole season of Walt in prison? What's the gain from it? Uh...to continue the show? I'm not a writer on the show, so I couldn't tell you where that would lead. I'm just throwing some common sense scenarios out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 K. We're getting off-topic here. I suggest we take the BB ending talk to the Breaking Bad topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 It's not really off topic when both shows are connected...but whatever. I hope that light switch Saul flipped off has severe repercussions later on...like, it starts a fire that burns the entire building down or something.

Herb. Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think it was more of a symbolic thing. The entire episode is about him switching between his two personas, and I think it's meant to be a representation of how he's becoming aware of or perhaps more comfortable with his ability to do so without any serious repercussions.

Generations Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Decent episode. Fun to see that bald guy get fully humiliated. I also really enjoy the Nacho character. More than Tuco, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Man, the episode last night... so good. The confrontation between Jimmy and Chuck was intense and uncomfortable; both made excellent points. And Mike's situation with Tuco? Wow. I loved how it unfolded!

classiq. Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Jimmy McGill’s transformation into Saul Goodman has been a wonder to watch: precise, deliberate, gorgeously shot, impressively acted, and more than a little heartbreaking. And the evolution is going to continue for at least another year. AMC has just renewed Better Call Saul for a third season, just as the series hits the halfway point of its second. AMC and Sony Pictures Television announced today that Better Call Saul has been renewed for a ten-episode third season. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould will return as showrunners, and will also continue to serves as executive producers alongside Breaking Bad vets Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein, and Thomas Schnauz. Said AMC’s Charles Collier in a statement: What Vince, Peter, Bob and the entire team have accomplished with ‘Better Call Saul’ is truly rare and remarkable. They have taken one of the most iconic, immersive and fan-obsessive (in the best possible way) shows in television history and created a prequel that stands on its own. Watching Jimmy McGill’s thoughtful, melodic and morally flexible transformation into Saul Goodman is entertaining and delighting millions of fans, whether their starting point was ‘Breaking Bad’ or not. This series has its own feel, pace and sensibility and we can’t wait to see what this incredibly talented group comes up with next in season three. The renewal shouldn’t come as a big surprise. AMC renewed Better Call Saul for a second season before the first season had even debuted, demonstrating a lot of confidence in its Breaking Bad spinoff/prequel. Since its debut, Better Call Saul has performed solidly in the ratings and even better with critics. The first season of Better Call Saul was nominated for seven Emmys, SAG, and a Golden Globe. Better Call Saul‘s initial appeal was obvious — it was a way for fans, and the network, to continue with the Breaking Bad franchise through the lens of one of the show’s liveliest supporting characters. But it’s pretty quickly established itself as much, much more than just a Breaking Bad copy. Jimmy’s emerged as a tragic antihero in his own right, and one that’s very different from Walter White, even if they end up mired in the muck together in Breaking Bad. And thankfully, the show’s writers and producers seem to put a lot of faith in Bob Odenkirk‘s ability to shoulder his own series as Jimmy. Callbacks and cameos to Breaking Bad are used sparingly and judiciously, and it borrows a lot of the visual language and vibe of the earlier series while adding some flair of its own. Put simply, the journey from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman has proved a riveting (if sometimes devastating) one, and we can’t wait to embark on the next step of it. http://www.slashfilm.com/better-call-saul-renewed-season-3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Latest episode was pretty decent, I did love: How they showed Chuck to be more humane than we may imagine, as to why he's so against his brother. I mean, it couldn't have been just because he lacks the charisma Jimmy does, although that plays a part. I also loved the intro and ending sequences. I was thinking, "They can't let this Mike/Tuco thing go yet, this is the *censored*ing cartel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Nakamura Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think this episode was perhaps my least favourite thus far, but still quite solid.

They did a great job of turning Kim into a major character. And I immediately thought of that person when I heard the bell but thought nah, couldn't be him.

Royal Nakamura Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah, my bad, had a feeling you were after I wrote up that post. I completely agree, I felt the same way with that episode. This week's episode was excellent, though. They REALLY started kicking things into gear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I loved the montage of Jimmy being obnoxious at work and trying to get fired. So hilarious -- one of my favorite comedic moments in the series so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Absolutely, the bagpipe moment absolutely killed me. It showed Saul Goodman's mischief perfectly, without already transforming him into that completely. Also, it was lovely to see him flex his antics in SG threads.
