TV: - Better Call Saul - Part 3

Part 3

Season 5 premiere February 23, 2nd episode the 24th and then every Monday after that. They've already announced season 6 is the last one, and season 4 finished in 2004, so I'd guess season 5 is 2005-2006 and then season 6 is 2007-2008 leading us into Breaking Bad.

Are there any series in the style of BCS or BB? We recently finished our rewatch of BCS in preparation for the new season. Now nothing else really satisfies us... thanks.

Pirated? I am surprised AMC let those out, they're usually pretty tight-lipped...

Nope, Netflix. 4th season. Should have clarified.

Fyi the penultimate season starts tonight, episode 2 monday (tomorrow) and then every following Monday.

Even when shows such as The Americans and Fargo were on, this was always one of the best, if not the best, shows on tv.

I enjoyed the premiere, I wonder if

Spoiler

we see Gene meet his demise in trying to handle Jeff the Cab driver. I hope we see more of Gene and not just once more at next season's premiere

It's kinda funny how Saul himself is turning out to be the least interesting character on the show. You know how he ends up. I'm enjoying Mike and Nacho's trip to the dark side of Gus more than Jimmy's arc. And the real tension is Kim. She actually wants to be a legit lawyer...but Jimmy still wants to be Slippin' Jimmy at heart. How far will she go? When will she finally turn on him? Guess we'll keep on waiting to find out.

Enjoyed the season premiere, although my memory was fuzzy with the hiatus. Mainly had forgotten how much Lalo knew about Werner outside of the phone call that Mike interrupted.

That was a damn good 1st episode. Jimmy is finally full Saul ..

You have to think if Saul was going to get a job and hide in plain site, he would do something with less people around on a daily basis, the only thing worse would be an airport.

he knew Mike was looking for him, watched the security footage at the wire place. Lalo has really been played up as the cartel version of Mike

I don't even remember this poker game.

Poker scenes tend to be a pet peeve for me, so I was hoping they'd avoid a clichéd hand (like a royal flush over 4 of a kind). Scene did work well in the sense that nobody wanted to take a pot from Lalo, so Krazy-8 folding a strong hand was enjoyable. The poker geek in me just wished they had Lalo bluff with something other than 2-7 off suit, albeit that was a hand that people would try to get fancy with at our home games.

Took me a moment to understand where Gus' crew had driven Nacho.

It amazes me how many friends I have that loved Breaking Bad but refuse to get into Better Call Saul. They have done a great job of making the show stand on its own while flawlessly blending it into Breaking Bad. There are actually some parts of BCS that I enjoy more than BB.

When all is said in done, I feel like I'll remember it all (and El Camino) as one series...and those who missed out on it will have only gotten half the BB experience.

I think BCS has taken so long to get where it needed to be. They could have cut down some of the content by a season to get here. That turned alot of people off.

It's been awhile since I've talked to a non-fan about the show, but I got the impression that they didn't know how the drug trade was a major subplot to the show. And/or they liked Saul as a secondary guy in small doses but weren't as interested in him as the primary character. So they never gave the show a chance.

It's too bad though, it's been a great show on its own.

I tried to watch the last season finale, but couldn't get through it. Must have been the delay.

Glad I watched though, good stuff so far.

 

[Ozz]

This show rules. Excellent first 2 eps for this season.

Seems like Crazy 8 getting busted is where he becomes an informant and we could meet Hank again.
