[Raider Nation]

It took me most of that scene to recognize Michael McKean.

It was kind of dark.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Why did he tear the check up?

Give it 10 minutes

 

[Raider Nation]

That scheme went just as planned.

 

[The General]

Tuco!

 

[Capella]

OH #### YES

 

[comfortably numb]

Tuco!

awesome

 

[Wingnut]

Uh oh

 

[Slapdash]

Pretty great first episode here.

 

[Raider Nation]

Tuco!

Hector had better be inside the house with a bell.

 

[UniAlias]

So awesome. I can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

 

[Gator Shawn]

Enjoyed it.

 

[Raider Nation]

I was super skeptical when the rumors started, and I'm just as skeptical now. They took one of the best shows ever and then removed all the best characters. This guy was always the one shtick/over-the-top caricature. I just don't know.

I loved BB so much that I'll try this, but I'm really not expecting much.

 

[Raider Nation]

Okay, I'll be the wet blanket.

I love Saul as much as the rest of you, but he's highly effective in the relatively small doses we get of him. Might his shtick get a little (a lot?) annoying having to carry his own show?

Not possible

 

[packersfan]

I was multi-tasking at the beginning of the episode. Can someone walk me through the B&W scene?

 

[The General]

A lot going on in that episode.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Damn good start

 

[Capella]

Odenkirk is amazing. This show is going to be phenomenal.

 

[Abraham]

Flash forward to hom working at a Cinnabon in Nebraska.

 

[Capella]

I am I the only one who thinks this will probably be terrible.

Probably won't be the only one who will be wrong, no.It's gonna be fantastic.

Odds far more like that it will be terrible. Spinoffs usually are.

And the Saul character was terribly written on BBad. Just a walking cliche, over and over and over and over again.

Amazing.

So that scene was after the end of Breaking Bad. OK, that's what I thought. Thanks.

 

[saintfool]

So so start but I have faith it will be solid.

It's his life post-BB

 

[belljr]

good start

 

[AAABatteries]

Great first episode - I could never get my wife to watch BB - I know, almost divorce worthy - but I tricked her in to watching "that new lawyer show on AMC". She liked it but was confused how I knew what the Cinnabon scene was all about.

 

[Slapdash]

If Saul can change his name and keep it going once, why can't he do it in Nebraska?

 

[Steed]

Wow wow wow.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Very cool first episode. What's going to happen with his smoke buddy chick? She seemed a bit out of his league, no?

 

[In The Zone]

As if I wasn't already in after the pilot I'm definitely sticking with this.

 

[In The Zone]

So Chuck is Saul/Jimmy's Father? Brother?

Gotta be Father right?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

So Chuck is Saul/Jimmy's Father? Brother?

Gotta be Father right?

I'd go with brother

 

[Capella]

Think I read brother a few times online.

 

[Brady Marino]

So, so good. Tuco was a sweet surprise at the end.

And nice to see the broken windshield MacGuffin from Breaking Bad is continuing its proud tradition in BCS.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

It took me most of that scene to recognize Michael McKean.

GM alias?

 

[Psychopav]

Nice start.

Noticed that and the blue tape too. Nice.

 

[The General]

Very cool first episode. What's going to happen with his smoke buddy chick? She seemed a bit out of his league, no?

I'll go with all part of developing a storyline of him being not good enough, not a serious lawyer, etc.

Think the other partner in the firm that he is helping mentioned her when he was talking about the firm having to shut down if he got too much money from them.

So much ground covered in the first episode. The previews for next week look like things get crazy fast.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Do I need to have watched BB to watch this? I seem to be missing what the heck is going on and all the inside cross show references that make this watchable so far.

You need to watch Breaking Bad period. Start right now.

That's his brother - Chuck McGill.

 

[Jack White]

Thought it was great. Odenkirk is more than just a comedian.

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Is this going to be one of those threads?

"who is this 'gene' guy?"

"Why can't his dad afford electricity?"

"So the Sklar brothers are friends with Two-Coat?"

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I will bail very quickly if that's where this is going.

Looking at you, Abe.

McKean was a nice touch. Odenkirk reminds me a lot of him. Very similar styles.

 

[packersfan]

McKean worked on a two-part X-Files episode that Gilligan co-wrote in the day in which Mulder and McKean's character swapped bodies.

It wasn't one of the show's finest hours.

 

[Honus]

Big ol'

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

McKean worked on a two-part X-Files episode that Gilligan co-wrote in the day in which Mulder and McKean's character swapped bodies.

Wasn't that about 60% of all of their episodes?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Best show ever?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Hope all you haters who didn't believe go blind or something. Shame on you.

Amazing.

Gunz is literally wrong about absolutely everything. He's like a superhero and his power is being wrong.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

GM alias?

Pretty tough to spot when he's in the opening freaking credits.
