Official - Better Call Saul - Discussion Thread

that's what they needed more of.

the endless maze stuff. the scenery shots
the routine shots. just a waste.

this stuff they're doing now is what's gold.

every time i say a show needs more cowbell somehow they end up doing exactly what i said to do :lol:

and I even got documented proof cuz :lol:
 
They had Kim working in the supply closet in the beginning

Hamlin fired the brotha from the mailroom "no eating cake outside break room" *warning

Saul dumpster diving for a case ? Pure dedication

When Chuck said 20 million Saul's heart skipped a beat

Love is the death of honor ...Mike is on the path to darkness

The way Chuck fell out at the end I was looking for Agent 47 or Duke Togo

wow chuck took the biggest dump on jimmy have seen in a long time:smh:

that was fucked up..shitted right down his thoak....:smh:
 
Mike with his first encounter with a pretend criminal. Probably thought Walter was the same way entire time he knew him lol.

Jimmy - Good. Fuck your brother. you been taking care of him, defending him, helping him and he looks at you like a chimp with a machine gun.

Good luck on your own bitch ass.

Take HHM money

and build your own firm.

Good episode.
 
chuck is a fucking cowardly bastard. he should of told jimmy that shit from the jump. i wonder is chuck is still around in the present time.
 
peace

I thought Howard Hamlin hated Saul because Saul fucked that blonde lawyer

When do u think he fucked her?

If u noticed his face & body language, he was trying to fall on the sword to be the bad guy since bitch assed 'Lenny' (Laverne&Shirley for u youngins) risked his 'health' :hmm: to make that call.

I already knew something from earlier shows when he told his lil bro to go branch out & be his own person starting his own legacy.

SlippinJimmy slipped his ass up out of there & is about to go to the crib to his roots towards a path of reinventing himself.
 
Great episode AGAIN...

(called it, knew the brother would betray him)

and the reason is the build up all the slow burn lead up to the BOOM.

And even after ALL that I can STILL sympathize with Saul's brother...

the perennial screw up not only cleans up but my be surpassing you.

But the heartbreak that Saul showed because after prison he DEDICATED his entire life to making his brother proud...and instead of respect he gets slapped

A MAJOR message for us all in that.

Harry been playing the BAD GUY all these years...damn.

Mike's short speech about being good and bad is tenet the entire Breaking Bad universe is built on.

I like how they built the parallels of being a good criminal
essentially Saul is a good con-man and his brother who claims to hold the law as so sacred the noble protector of the law is really evil jealous envious inside.

The Walking Dead now has a a REALLY high bar to meet.
 
This is show is just flat out better than breaking bad.

Love how his seemingly sincere, harmless, lovable brother is being shown as the cut throat, insecure, inadequate ofay he is. There is so much truth to that character and type. The kind that will stab you in the back and kindly and passively tell you "its business not personal". Loves you as long as he can hold you as a professional and intellectual inferior. The moment you become a peer you become a threat. He even packaged his sheer hate and envy as pure concern and respect for the sanctitude of the profession. When the truth is, it eats him alive his major fuck up of a brother was able to match his professional accomplishments as an after thought while working in a fucking mail room.

As for Saul, another familiar type. So desperate to be accepted into a club that hates his fucking guts, despite already proving himself as competent and able as they are. Ready to shit away life changing money and opportunity to create his own identity because of spite fueled by feelings of rejection. :smh:

a completely disagree with the first part

but that psychological breakdown of the brother/familial dynamic was stellar.
 
I can't get with Saul's brother at all.

I don't sympathize with him not even a little bit.
Yep. He went from well meaning annoyance to outright piece of shit. I didnt see it until he asked for $20million and i realized he was purposely doing it with the intent to involve his firm and pressure his brother into doing so in the process.

I can see it.

he is a piece of sh*t yes.

But I can see his arch I see his insecurities and frailties.

He was the the big brother the good son the hero

Saul was the the f*ck up the loser the bad one

the parents "begged" him to save Saul the loser from prison

He LOVED his role and I think DID love his brother

He COMMANDED Saul to clean up his act (probably NEVER believing he could do it and that Saul would forever be a burden to him)

And then he get s sick...and NO ONE believes him or NEEDS him and the only one he has to save him?

Saul.

And instead of being not only proud but HONORED that Saul came to this place of success because he wanted NOTHING more then to impress HIM...

his big brother his hero.

he is offended that he even had the basic CAPACITY to accomplish this feat.

He has feet of clay.

He now questions EVERYTHING about himself because if SAUL could do it maybe he isn't as impressive as he thought...he is fragile and small.

I pitied him for a moment watching him crumble...I understood his warped rationale that is a testament to the writing and the acting...that for even a MOMENT I could see things from his perspective.
 
that the show is flat out better than breaking bad
Gotcha. If i couldnt marathon BB by getting turned on to it by BGOL (Hfunk shoutout) after season 3 or so i would have quit after a few episodes of season 1. WOuld not have had the patience to sit through that live. I found the premise ridiculous and the characters almost comically bad (Jesse was unbearable with his over the top personality and his friends were literally functional retards).

fam I gotta come back to have a FULL DISCUSSION on that..:lol:

BB it is an outstanding series with an insane build up.

I am one of the few that think its not conducive to binge watching because the descent of Walter is so slow and detailed and the performances are really nuanced and there is a LOT going on behind the scenes characters reactions are VERY physical and sometimes very subtle (facial expressions, eye movement etc)

It is WAY to early o call this show better and because it is ENTIRELY dependent on the foundation of breaking bad I didn't think it ever could.

Jessie's relationship with Walter is actually the most important to the series. And that actors performance was so honest and complete to that world it possible ruined his ability to ever play anyone else.

PH, i know and accept im in the minority about my feelings on BB. Its just a way overrated show imo. But to clarify, i will say that im enjoying this show far more and imo, at 8 episodes in (or whatever it is), its a better product than BB at the same point.

I also have to disagree that the show is entirely dependent on BB. I think it stands on its own. Im sure its a bit satisfying for BB fanatics to see character origins, hunt for easter eggs, and draw parallels between new and old characters... But i think the show stands on its own.
