***Official "Space Blanket" for Better Call Saul*** (1 Viewer)

Uhh...am I the only one that does NOT expect BCS to have as many "OH ####!" moments as BB did and not have a problem with it?

I really don't think this is going to be the exact same type of show.
This. Frankly I'm hoping for more insightful and interesting. The scene with old Saul at the beginning sitting in front of the TV was maybe the best scene in the series so far. You don't need meth labs and explosions and space blankets to make a good show.

 
Tried making a rusty nail last night. Do not recommend. :X
Why not? Do you drink Scotch?
I do! I think I went heavy on the Drambuie (seemed like Saul went 50/50, RHE says more like 3-1), and the lemon juice was all I could taste
Go with the manhattan.
Unfortunately I don't have a bottle of vermouth that's been hanging around for 10+ years like this Drambuie.

 
why do these threads always devolve into people making horrible predictions about what is going to happen next/soon?
sharkpool down??? :rant:
I started a thread in the Shark Pool:"We Discuss Better Call Saul Here So We Don't Have To Go To the FFA"

Don't forget, guys!

(And kudos to the.mods for continue to allow it's existence!)

:goodposting:

I have zero complaints.

Love the people saying "It's not breaking bad so I don't like it"
Exactly.

Breaking Bad is my favorite TV show of all-time, so I don't expect BCS to reach than pantheon level.

But with Gilligan and some of the other creative people behind the show, it's bound to be excellent.

And it is, so far.

 
I'm beginning to think the show will at one point (probably at the end) pick up after he's in Omaha at the Cinnabon. They're painting him as the protagonist you feel sorry for and sympathize with, and it's lame for him to just end up with the fate they showed in the prologue.
I think it would cool if seasons 1-3 take place before Breaking Bad, seasons 4-5 mostly take place after Breaking Bad, but the season 4 premier takes place during Breaking Bad, in the form of the most awesome 43-minute BB montage ever.
Who do we pitch this to? I need this to happen

 
I think it was discussed earlier in the thread, and not sure if it was confirmed or not, but in that featurette clip that's linked, from that link, Vince himself says that Chuck is Jimmy's older brother
I haven't seen the clip, but isn't it obvious they are brothers?
There was some discussion earlier whether it was brother, cousin, or father.

He wouldn't call his father "Chuck."

Cousin, possibly, but I just assumed brother from context.

 
THE TOTALLY BIGGER easter egg is that when you call the phone number written on the inside of the matches (505) 242-6087, you get Nacho’s voicemail. Try it – it actually works.

Did anybody else see a plot similarity between Saul's resentment at the wealthy law firm that is taking advantage of his brother, and Walt's resentment at his multi-millionaire partner who took advantage of him? Seems like maybe Vince Gilligan has this thing against big corporate style success?

 
Were you making some sort of criticism there? Not sure what the "who saw that coming" is all about.
pretty simple actually ...im asking if anyone remembers this scene in BB and made the connection to the opening of BCS
Yeah, that was kind of a running joke for a while. Figured it was common knowledge, that's why I was confused.

No.

oh...i didnt see that in this thread

 
This makes me think that there's more to that "last" scene we see in the opening. Like that's not the actual end.
What else more could there be to it?
I wouldn't be surprised if they pick it up on the other side of Breaking Bad. :shrug:
Not a chance, IMO.
I would be stunned if they don't.

You think that was the only time you see post-Bad Saul? No way.

This is actually not a bad point. I didn't really see Walt as being taken advantage of by GM, but similar situations that it'd make sense that each character wound up in.

Have to agree with the often-wrong Capella here.

 
I don't think we get any more post-Bad Saul. Maybe one scene at the very end of the series. He can't do anything but lay low the rest of his life.

Agree with this.

But present day, Saul would know where to find Huell.. so they did leave themselves that opening if Saul decided to give up on the Cinnabon life and chase one more scam.

 
I don't know... I think we'll see more post BB Saul... Not a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised if the series ended with him meeting with an ad agency to start up a Better call McGill commercial.

What I meant was, I don't think we see anything beyond that point in time. We will probably see a little of how he ended up there, but I am only guessing maybe a few episodes at the end of the run.

 
I wanted so much to love this, but I only kind of like it right now. I feel like I'm liking it because I'm supposed to like it because I liked breaking bad so much. I'm hoping it gets better.

What didn't you like, or how do you hope it gets better? (just curious)
