Jay 37,352 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 James McGill is his actual name; Saul Goodman is a pseudonym. We learned this when he first met Walt.... "Faith and begorrah!

Jay 37,352 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Finally a full trailer showing basically what the plot of the first season will be I think I'm sold, looks like it will be a good show and not a soul-less cash grab. Also Gilligan announced that Walt and Jesse will not show up at any point in the first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I finally saw the trailer and it certainly looks interesting. Perhaps if they can recapture some of the absurdness of BB's first season that sort of got lost along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 The first review of Better Call Saul is in....I'll just say it: The first few episodes that I saw are better than Breaking Bad. They are smarter. They are sharper. I have never seen a prequel handled so cleverly. What we know from the previous series about Saul Goodman, or James McGill as he is known in Better Call Saul, provides a kind of counterintuitive suspense mechanism. In the very first shot, in silent black and white, we see the ruins of Saul Goodman after the action of Breaking Bad, just as he said he would be. He's working at a Cinnabon in a mall, terrified of anyone slightly threatening who walks into the store. The question for the plot is: How did he become this way? How did he fail so catastrophically? Wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Agreed. I don't expect or need this to rival or surpass BB. But I hope it will be a great show in its own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's not promo art, it's a comic book cover. The link to read the issue is right below it. It's a story that takes place during episodes 208 and 209 of BB. It tells the story of how Saul came to walk into Walter's classroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I guess all you need to do is reread this whole thread. Heck, I even demanded a separate thread for Better Call Saul because I knew it was going to be worth it. Of course, I'm not KM and so it did not happen.If it was KM who demanded it, we would've gotten three separate threads: One for "Better", one for "Call" and one for "Saul".

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yeah I really dont understand why we dont have a separate thread for this new series.
