Better Call Saul

[franpincho]

Saw both episodes last night. Fantastic show.

For some reason I thought Tuco was going to kill those boys without mercy. I was really surprised he didn't.

 

[DiFabio]

I thought they were dead after those blows to the head. I was surprised he had them in the garage.

Another great scene I haven't seen anyone discuss is at the restaurant where Saul is trying to get that woman drunk while getting distracted by her ****. The people breaking the bread sticks instantly reminded him of the broken legs. It makes me wonder how he'd feel if he saw what Walt and Jesse were capable of with the dissolving bodies.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

It was a pretty obvious callback to leg-breaking. It's his reaction, where he has to run to the bathroom to blow chunks, that's the kicker. This is a man unaccustomed to violence. He's only going to witness a lot more of it.

 

[Rambler]

They were small, but I love the scenes so far between Saul and Mike. Mike's calmness vs. Saul's temper is great. "NOT ENOUGH STICKERS!!"

 

[YankeesFanboy]

The only thing is, if Jimmy knows Mike's going to be that obstinate, why not just get the damn stickers in the first place?

Edit: It's probably a war of wills. Jimmy thinks Mike is some dumb bastid parking lot attendant he can eventually break. He's gonna get quite the surprise when Mike finally takes his ass down to the ground.

 

[Michael Crawford]

As we get more info on the relationship between Saul and Mike, I would have no problem seeing scenes between Mike and Gus. That would make perfect sense, but yea, no need for Saul and Gus to be together for any extended period. I don't expect Saul to have much to do with Tuco again either, although I'm betting Tuco kills the dude currently trying to get Saul's help.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

The thievin' county treasurer and his wife are as good as dead.

I'd like to see Gus start building his chicken/drug empire at some point. Or maybe it's already up and running, but on a much smaller scale?

 

[quadcent]

great show so far, suspect it's going to be great...

 

[slipknotpredator]

Good show. It was nice to see Tuco and his crew again. Tuco and Vaas ****ING Montenegro?

Spoiler

 

[Johnny Utah]

There should be no Walt in this show ever. He only first encounters Saul in S2 of Breaking Bad. Jesse is aware of Saul in that episode, so they can work him in, but Walt should never appear.

Better Call Saul

Thought I saw Walts house.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Odenkirk has said he hopes the show will cover the pre-BB, somewhat during BB (from a different perspective), and post-BB time periods. In that case, Walt would be fair game.

[cilantropants]

At this point the only reason Walt would show up is for fans to squeal in delight and say to the closest person to them that will listen "Hey! I totally get that reference and it feels important now!"

At least Tuco showing up has some purpose to the storytelling. I just don't want this to become a guidebook of "**** That Took Place On Another Show In The Future."

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I don't think Walter should figure prominently in any episode/story arc. However, it would be cool toward the end of BCS's run to have Jimmy/Saul sitting in a restaurant for an important meet, for example.

He's fidgety and nervous because he's in deep with the mob. He glances toward a family sitting a few tables over. He, and we, see Walter celebrating his 49th birthday with Sky and Junior. They all seem happy.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

What if they show more scenes of Saul in the present time and he sees Walt on the news. What if he didn't die and when the cops got him they took him to a hospital Ok, that's crazy talk...I'll leave now

 

[franpincho]

Has either Cranston or Vince confirmed that Walt in fact died? I don't really remember anyone saying that...

there was an obituary notice in an Albuquerque newspaper.

 

[Solidus]

I always wonder, who're the special type of people, who read obituary notices .

*puts down coffee cup, and unfolds newspaper on the table* "Hmm... let me see a list of complete strangers, that have died recently!".

 

[fosing]

i know some old folks read'em like a reverse high school yearbook or something.lolz

I bet some of them are positive, they knew Walter White back in high school .
