***Official "Space Blanket" for Better Call Saul*** (3 Viewers)

Offend? Nope at all. Nothing I posted IMO suggests offense.  :confused:

P.S. No idea why it double quoted your post. Didn't do that on purpose.

I sensed you were frustrated or annoyed by something I said. Maybe you forgot how to quote because you were so upset.

Offended, frustrated or annoyed? No. The best word that comes to mind is fatigued.

In any case perhaps now I'm not as fatigued as this time it only had your comment once rather than twice when I clicked "quote".

Meh, it's not funny. Maybe if there were some clever remarks, but "Breaking bad was a show that aired on AMC and so is Better Call Saul!  Woah!" doesn't do much for me. 

The fruit is hanging so low you need a shovel.

 
This is a rather topical piece given some of the recent conversation.

http://www.vulture.com/2016/03/better-call-saul-anti-breaking-bad.html

"Where Vince Gilligan's original AMC crime drama was plot-driven to a fault, withholding and then surprise-injecting regular dopamine hits of What's next?, the follow-up is more relaxed: easing into long, carefully shaped scenes with theatrically neat beginnings, middles, and ends, always favoring atmosphere, visual texture, and sad-sack characterization."

"If anything, Gilligan, series co-creator Peter Gould (a Bad alumnus), and their collaborators have turned the heat down in season two. Any given episode is likely to contain maybe eight to ten full scenes and a montage or two, and these always go on a bit longer than you expect, longer than TV drama's norm — three minutes, five, more — the better to let you join the characters in whatever room they happen to inhabit, examine every reaction and spoken word, and notice their positions in frames that are often comprised of half to three-quarters darkness."

Could have used some explosions and a car chase. She needs a catch phrase too.

Yes, a catch phrase for Kim would have made this weeks episode so much better.

Lets see who can come up with the best one.

I propose these:

"Boom-chakalaka!" (with a swing of a fist)

"Faa-king-su-par"

 "Good thing I shaved my balls"

Good luck topping those.

So lets see how the writers could have used one of these in the episode to "spice it up"...

> scene: Kim returns to the document basement from an unsuccessful lunch of cold calling:

coworker: "Hey Kim, how was lunch? What did you have?"

Kim: "oh, ahh ... a turkey wrap. Boomchackalaka!" :pumps fist:

----- or

coworker: "Hey Kim, how was lunch? What did you have?"

Kim: "oh, ahh ... a turkey wrap. Faa-King-Su-par!"

---- or

coworker: "Hey Kim, how was lunch? What did you have?"

Kim: "oh, ahh ... a turkey wrap. Good thing I shaved my balls!"

-----

It's not even close which one I would chose.

 
I'm a little behind, just watched Gloves Off last night.

My question, if Mike is just now getting involved in the ABQ criminal /drug underground, how does he know that killing Tuco would "bring Salamancas out of the woodwork"?  I can't imagine there is a cartel directory listed on MySpace or something.  How does he know there are even other Salamancas out there at this point? 

Lazy writing, IMO.

Mike's an ex-cop and no dummy.

Dont even bother. One can say and episode is boring...fine, I get it. But to say this show has lazy writing? Give me a break. Not worth your time to try to even refute that.

wat

 
I think Kim should switch to 3rd person to make the catch phrases work better. And the finish every sentence with "Kimmy... Ooooooooot"

Oh, ahh... Kimmy had a turkey wrap. Good thing I shaved my balls! Kimmy... Ooooooot

That would work best if they added a studio audience that could hoot and holler every time she did it.

I think we may be able to fix this show yet.

The more I think about it, a catch phrase for Kim is exactly what this show needs...

--------

> scene: Kim and Howard standing on the sidewalk as their new found clients signed on for a bazillion dollars and are driving off

Kim: " ... so I'll get busy calling so and so and have the briefs sent over. bla bla bla important legal stuff."

Howard: "I'll have Stephanie take care of that. You've already got your plate full down in documents."

Kim: "Boomchackalaka!" :swinging fist pump:

------ or

Kim: " ... so I'll get busy calling so and so and have the briefs sent over. bla bla bla important legal stuff."

Howard: "I'll have Stephanie take care of that. You've already got your plate full down in documents."

Kim: "Faa-King-Su-Par!"

------- or

Kim: " ... so I'll get busy calling so and so and have the briefs sent over. bla bla bla important legal stuff."

Howard: "I'll have Stephanie take care of that. You've already got your plate full down in documents."

Kim: "Good thing I shaved my balls."

-------

Really can't go wrong with any of these. 

 
I think I figured out the cameo Gilligan was talked out of using in the finale: Honk with the DEA at a bust.  Would have been organic, but probably distracting.  Don't think we'll see Honk until season 3 at the earliest.  

 
I still believe Jimmy's unsuccessful bar pick up from season 1 will be back, the Chick with the great rack and red nail polish.  I'm guessing she is the last straw between Jimmy and Kimmy, or the first thing that presents itself after Kim wises up.

The title sequence always has a hand with that same red nail polish, for just an instance.  I think she will reappear.  Jamie Luner maybe?

 
If this is another Kim episode tonight, I'll be looking for opportunities to insert her catch phrases. 

Gotta do something to fight off the boredom.

 
whats with saul opening his fridge ...smelling the chinese leftovers ...making a face like yuck...and then putting it back in the fridge ....who does that ...throw it out ...lazy writing

SCENE> Kim sitting at a bar contemplating the offer that she just received to join another law firm:

... and ACTION:

Bartender: "That man over there would like you to know that your next drink is on him."

Kim: "Boomchakalaka!" :swings fist:

Bartender: "That man over there would like you to know that your next drink is on him."

Meh, ... another toss up.
