Jay 19027 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Better Call Saul is much more Peter Gould's show than Vince's. Link to post Share on other sites

Jay 19027 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 The Cinnabon Gene scenes are some of my favorite parts of the show. Right before each new season starts I re-watch each of them shortly before the season premiere This is what I'm expecting to happen this year, once they announced this season will be 13 episodes instead of 10: Episode 1 - usual Gene cold open, ending with the biggest cliffhanger yet rest of Episode 1 through episode 10 - wrap-up of the main timeline story they've been telling. Towards the end we are overlapping with the Breaking Bad timeframe and see Saul's viewpoints on things we saw in BB (like that one flashforward they did in season 4). Ends with Jimmy leaving everyone behind to go into hiding in Omaha via Ed (which would have been shown but with Robert Forester passing that will have to be discussed without being shown I guess unless they already filmed it in secret) Episode 11 - continues the black and white Gene scene from the cliffhanger, but at some point it transitions to color. Rest of episode 11 through episode 13 - continuation of the Gene story line to some kind of... probably tragic but maybe not ending GerateWohl 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 19027 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 BCS had a ton of noms but lost in every category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Critics'_Choice_Television_Awards However, the Better Call Saul: Ethics Training with Kim Wexler won Best Short Form Series, so that's nice. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGGFt98WrMUNzaY40r8xsVPK04vCbV9S4 Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 634 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm wary . Last season ended with Saul and Rhea planning some crackpot scheme to discredit and ruin the lawyer the used to work for. If that's the storyline I'm bailing Link to post Share on other sites
Glóin the Dark 842 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, bruce marshall said: Last season ended with Saul and [Kim] planning some crackpot scheme to discredit and ruin the lawyer she used to work for. That was great! And "What happens to Kim?" is the primary question driving Better Call Saul. Holko and bruce marshall 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 634 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Kim's metamorphosis is not credible. I worked in law; no attorney would act like she has. And, are we really supposed to believe she is attracted to Jimmy? She would marry him?!😳 They are the worst part of the show. I watch for Fring, Laslo and Michael Holko 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Man 7610 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 And I've dealt with lawyers before, particularly IP/patent attorneys, and fuck they're the dryest, most off-putting matter-of-fact personalities you'll ever encounter, it's almost eerie. I'm actually intimidated speaking to them even on a casual basis because I'm scared they'll charge me a fee for simply having an informal chat with them. //shudder Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 634 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Right. They are not impulsive. They wouldn't actively work against their client. They wouldn't jeopardize their law license for a scoundrel like Jimmy. And, if they are as hot as Kim, they wouldn't let him even be her clerk. Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Man 7610 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Their impulsions and hot-headedness creates drama or else there'd be no show. We want our fictional characters to have some sort of exceptionalism to them to distinguish them from their dry, conformist peers. Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 634 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 There is ZERO chemistry between the two. I never believe she cares for Jimmy. Not for a moment. Remember the storyline about the pensioners being ripped off? They acted like lawyers not grifters. The latest story seem phony and lazy.. The drug smuggling storyline is far better When Kim double crossed her client- who.had treated her very well- all credibility in the character as a real person, went out the window.

GerateWohl 442 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I really like the show. But during the last season, I thought, this is one season too many. In the fifth season they should have finalized the story. Link to post Share on other sites
Holko 5488 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It's the drug stuff I have the least interest in, BB did a better job integrating it in small enough doses, even Mike isn't enough to keep me too interested. But I'm fully captivated anytime Jimmy or Kim are on screen. Edmilson and GerateWohl 2 Link to post Share on other sites

LSH 108 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I love it, the entire universe. Eagerly awaiting this final season and finding out if and however it connects to the Breaking Bad chronology.... and the fate of the present-day Saul. Saul didn't join Breaking Bad until the latter half of Season 2, so there's a decent amount of shared continuity, if they have chosen to 'connect' both shows up... which I should imagine they have to some extent. I don't want them to do anything too obvious but it does need to end well. Link to post Share on other sites

bruce marshall 634 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 There is a big difference between the two shows. BB never passed itself off as a serious, realistic drama. It's melodrama, pulp Gilligan admits this and said he was surprised audiences took it as a serious statement. 6 hours ago, Glóin the Dark said: Given the programme we're talking about, I believe there's a glaring flaw in your argument. Jimmy is a.con man above all. Kim never gave any clue as to her deviant behavior. Bad writing Link to post Share on other sites

bruce marshall 634 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Well, if you mean her going along with Jimmy's cons, that's part of the whole story arc I have problems with. But, betraying her professional code of conduct for no reason.... Not believeable.

Jay 19027 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 18 minutes ago, bruce marshall said: But, betraying her professional code of conduct for no reason.... Not believeable. It wasn't for no reason. She's always had this inside her. 18 minutes ago, bruce marshall said: If you recall she initially scolded him for his tactics; the she goes along with him That doesn't mean the writers changed their minds over time. People do one thing one day, and another thing another day. People have reasons for each decision being the right decision, for that moment in time. Link to post Share on other sites
