Better Call Saul

[ControlD]

damn can't believe there is only 1 episode left. this show is great. completely caught me off guard, i was so skeptical about this show before it aired and it completely shocked me how awesome it is.

That pretty much sums up my feelings as well. I honestly had no intentions of watching this show, as I couldn't imagine how an entire show could be built around this character. I'm glad I decided to watch the first episode and that I was wrong!

Is the last episode on AMC.com? I missed it last night.

 

[CZroe]

Think Jimmy might do something like work against HHM/for Sandpiper Crossing?

 

[PottedMeat]

great episode.

i didn't expect hamlin/chuck's reputations to completely flip around.

a man that puts vinyl wood paneling on his minivan -> criminal mastermind/psychopath



who's the other hamlin? his dad? just someone we imagine is on the hamlin we see's side?

At least they finally explained "Sebben & Sebben" on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (2:50):

They promptly returned to making it pointless though in another episode where they were all excited that Sebben was making one of them partner after he added another ampersand to the "Sebben & Sebben" sign. They correctly assumed that it was in preparation for adding another name, but they were crushed to find out it was "Sebben & Sebben & Sebben." No explanation given. :awe:

One episode left...I hope it's as epic as epic can be...

I loved the Mike scenes too. Love that character.

I reaaised something yesterday...the last of the 3 that got his guns stolen by Mike, actor named Steven Ogg...is the damn Trevor from GTA V lookalike...I even thought that this character was actually Trevor.

 

[TheUnk]

Man I really felt sad for Jimmy. He needs a hug

 

[Drako]

Mike was just...awesome.

That was awesome

great episode.

Best show on TV right now.

Both of the Jimmy and Mike story lines in this episode were some of the best TV this year. :thumbsup:

"What are you packing"

"Pimento"

"Pimento"

lol that scene was great.

i'm pretty sure that they sped the camera up to 2x though for that scene, to make mike look like he could move fast. he is so old and slow in general that i found that whole scene LOL'able, no matter what his background is.

 

[GasX]

My prediction is that Chuck is directly involved in the fucking of Jimmy and his bitterness leads to anger which leads to hate which leads to suffering...

QED - always pay heed to my predictions

This show, throughout the season, has only proven whatever bar it has set is simply a goal for the next week to hurdle. It gets better and better.

This show is quite simply, fantastic, beyond further description. It is simply awesome.

And I agree with what was said earlier: I entered this show with very little expectations, I just couldn't see how they could carry this concept further, all the while not at all relying on the Breaking Bad ties. And here we are, mostly all in agreement that this show is one of, if not the best, show currently on television. It will certainly rank high in the history books of television.

Definitely the best episode of the season.

Hmm I think it's okay.

BB sucked me RIGHT in and I couldn't WAIT for the next episode. It was truly breath taking.... That Crazy 8 or whatever kid trying to stab him from behind and Walt was forced to strangle him. The entire Gus saga is delightful.

For me, wife and I just watch and go 'okay'. It's a solid show indeed, but I don't think it deserves any of your superlatives used.

I may have been a little over-zealous with the superlatives.

However, to each his own.

I couldn't really disagree with any of them. This show has been more consistently enjoyable than anything else I've ever watched.

Packing pimento. Cheese.

That Samsung SPH-N400 Jimmy uses was a worthless, terrible, lemon of a phone. Speakerphone didn't even work (after a few seconds of feedback looping). I recall a preloaded trial racing game that ran so slow that the trial timer would expire before the race started! It was something like one frame every three seconds.

 

[Printer Bandit]

What year is it? circa 2002?

 

[Vdubchaos]

This last episode was great (I thought).......it started off a bit slow but it's gaining motion now IMO.

Loved the scene with Minivan dude/3 guys........

 

[CZroe]

Yup.

 

[Slick5150]

I'm definitely on the list of those who were very skeptical of the show going into it and now can't get enough of it. It's outstanding.

Also nice to see Octavia of the Julii back on TV.

 

[BoberFett]

You could tell Chuck wasn't really all that happy for Jimmy when he got his law degree. Due to Jimmy's past, Chuck really sees Jimmy as beneath him. Jimmy tries, and when things aren't going his way he'll play fast and loose with ethics, but you can tell he does really want to do the right thing but life (and people like Check and Hamlin) keep him down. I can't say I was all that surprised when Chuck stabbed him in the back. Something big is going down in the finale, and it's going to suck waiting for the next season. Does Jimmy sabotage the class action? Do something to screw Chuck over? Start working with Mike and the veterinarian?

Lolololo, I SO enjoyed and related to the whole "asshole poseurs packing pistoles" angle. As a former PI, the guys who ended up getting jumped were all the hulking ex-military or ex-cop (most PIs, btw) types who were all bluster on the outside, but scared pussies on the inside. Arrogance masking fear.

I refused to carry, for my own deeply held reasons. I should have been scared, but wasn't. Predators can smell fear on you, you know?

Instead of bluster and being a hard ass, I treated everyone I met with simple respect. It worked for me.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Yea, this episode was great. I figured it was going to go the way it did, but really hoped it wouldn't.

It is pretty cool that they managed to make this a viable stand alone show with so much to live up to. I'm sure there are those that don't like it, but I think it has turned out pretty good. It could have easily sucked.

I loved that scene with Mike. Makes me love the character even more so now.

However, it makes me hate that evil Walter White now!
