Better Call Saul debut

[Chris Shields]

I've enjoyed the show so far. Haven't watched this weeks episode yet, but I will later today. I really enjoyed the stuff with Mike, and the one 2 episodes back that was pretty much all about Mike, is my favorite episode of the season so far. It was nice to see a different side of Mike with that speech at the end.

[Cory]

Hmmm, that was disappointing.

[Flins.]

What disappointed you? Just curious.

[Tritch]

Yeah I thought the whole season was fantastic.

[Cory]

I thought the finale was just kinda meh. I guess I kinda expected it to be the beginning of Saul, or even touch on Walter (just a finale appearance).

[Tritch]

We got hints and tastes of Saul. It'd be pretty silly of them to already dive fully into Saul in the 6th episode of the series in my opinion.

And I'm pretty sure this is still several years before Walter got cancer so that's not going to happen.

I can see where you are coming from, it is certainly a lot different from Breaking Bad in terms of pacing and I can see why the finale might come across quite anti-climatic to some. I'm much easier to please though haha

In regards to him 'becoming' Saul, the last couple of episodes, at least in my eyes, have shown us that he doesn't become Saul, he already was Saul. The interaction with Mike at the end was great, I'm assuming off of that that we'll be seeing a lot more of him next season. I can't see a Walter cameo for a while, possibly Gus or Jesse. But, I find that it works so well in it's own show, that cameos from BB should be minor at best.

[Tritch]

Aaron Paul said he won't do cameos or anything because he's too old now, it wouldn't look right. So unless it's another flash forward to post-BB-finale times, I doubt we'll see a cameo from him. Cranston said he would be open to doing cameos as long as it made sense.

[Flins.]

Smoke and Mirrors, Rexy, smoke and mirrors!

Yeah, I don't know, I guess Saul and Jesse probably had the least interaction so it would make sense, to an extent. I assume we will eventually get to a 'current' day point with Saul, at least I hope.

[Cory]

This whole season was buildup. The show was ALRIGHT (6.5/10) as we already know the middle (BB) so I get that it would show the beginnings....but for a finale to still be so far away from the character and settings were familiar with was a bit of a letdown.

I feel like their stretching the "before Walter White" too much, because now we're going to presumably have to wait another season until Saul Goodman.

[Tritch]

I don't th no you understand what the series is Cory. The whole series is supposed to be prequel, so i don't understand what you're sayijg.

[jagilki]

TyTy did you hack Tritch?

[Tritch]

I was drunk lol.

[Cory]

I don't th no you understand what the series is Cory. The whole series is supposed to be prequel, so i don't understand what you're sayijg.

I get its the prequel and honestly dont expect WW or breaking bad stuff till the end of the series (had no idea it was picked up for season 2, so thought this finale was it).....but 2 whole seasons you can assume before he's even Saul Goodman and doing all those greasy things and stuff that made his character appealing from Breaking Bad is disappointing to me.

[Tritch]

Yeah I guess I can see that. I don't think it'll take two whole seasons though. We've already seen good bits and pieces of it with Slippin' Jimmy. I've thoroughly enjoyed the show so far even without Saul, I like seeing the build up and seeing where he came from, and I love getting a deeper look into the Mike Hermantrout(sp) character as well. But yeah, I can see why it would be disappointing to you.
