"Better Call Saul"

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Loved the shot of the back of the cop car with Mike in it, the back of his head just barely visible and it drove.

Mike's back story >>>>>>

[Reason]

vince gilligan is unfuckwithable

btw the latest podcast had jonathan banks on it, shit is awesome

[Sumthin_Funky]

damn that was fucking amazing.

[Roy Johnson]

I look forward to this every week. Another Gilligan project that I've been watching is Battle Creek. Major network shows are usually AIDS-infested, so I ought to know better, but I couldn't resist due to Gilligan's involvement & a cast which includes Dean Winters and Kal Penn.

Hard to believe that Winters is 50 years old.

Did anyone notice the symbolism in that opening scene when Mike and his old cop friend were centered beneath the most wanted mug shots?

Great stuff

they used the term, make them whole© again last night

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

Damn that episode was a letdown imo

Sidenote: I really want to Fuck Mrs kettleman

[Kace]

Why was the episode a let down? You think it was because Jimmy did the "right thing" instead keeping all that cash for himself?

Actually yea, kind of...

I realize this version of Jimmy/Saul is supposed to be a precursor to Saul on Breaking Bad, but lets face it, Jimmy on Better Call Saul is rather boring. I'm sick of him always doing the "right thing" in the end. This just isn't what I signed up for when I decided to invest my time into this show...

I also thought that montage music while Mike was searching the Kettleman's house was incredibly corny and contrived. And the Kettleman's, yea they wrapped up that "storyline", but did anyone really care about the Kettleman's in the first place? Was it really necessary to basically base a whole episode around them?

[drizzle]

Mrs Kettleman tho



This one was a slow burn but I dug it, paid off well in the end. The show still wins on acting, cinematography and little details more than plot. Odenkirk's breakdown in the end, shots like the place where Kim goes to smoke, bingo scene feeling like set of a game show from teh 50s located somewhere in purgatory... Kettleman's story is not the most exciting but both of them doing dramatic slapstick where their lines/mannerisms sub in for literal pratfalls is great.

All these attempts to do right make sense if you consider that Saul was sheisty in method but not in intention - he always wanted the best outcome for his clients, he just wasn't afraid to use leftfield ways to get there. He is inherently a con artist by nature, and the breaking point of Jimmy > Saul is not him becoming a full on crook but the moment when he lets go of his guilt and embraces his crooked nature as the most effective way to get shit done.

anyone having complaints about jimmy being a good guy and doing the right thing needs to have patience and understand that this is an origin story. Not to mention, if they rushed him into being Saul Goodman then it would potentially shorten the lifespan of the show. I'm fine with them taking their time to provide the back story so that this show can keep going as long as they want it to.

I mean they got 6 years in the timeframe to work with , and I agree let them take their time to provide the back story so they can maximize story potential

[Tweak Da Leak]

No wonder Mr Kettleman was so whipped.

[zombie]

I heard someone ask if the montage song was done by Blockhead

I was trying to figure out the year that the present storyline was taking place. Did I miss them outright pointing to it being 2002?

Anyone know a good way to DL episodes of this show or stream it online? All the old ways I used seem to be gone.

[Positive A]

you can use Hola unblocker in your browser and play it via Great Britain Netflix (new episodes Tuesday nights) or use couchtuner.net (I think).

Chuck is a badass attorney ... nice to see him shake that crazy out

i feel that by saul bringing to his attention that he was outside is going to further cripple hi mentality and he will never recover..

[drizzle]

WHAT WAS THAT BEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EPISODE I KNOW I'VE HEARD IT A MILLION TIMES BEFORE BUT CAN'T PLACE IT

[drizzle]

it was handsome boy modeling school, or the og sample

[T Rav]

I totally recognized it too. Good call on handsome boy modeling school
Drizzle is it true that you smoke two joints minimum every time when you listen to the track that played when Mike broke into the Kettlebells' house?
So far I dig every scene with the veterinarian . He's a fairly funny character.

[drizzle]

interesting....

could possibly imply that Jimmy made up the law degree entirely? would that be possible to fake?

[Guun]

It was the OG sample:

Just realized what the screenshot implies. Saul Goodman instead of Jimmy. Could he have gotten his name legally changed? reprinted diploma? Wonder if it's just an oversight or if it will be explained or like you said, he lied about the whole thing.

Just noticed it says 1984 too.

[drizzle]

Oh shit I didn't even see the 1984, good catch. Something is def fishy here. And how long was he working in the mail room? What he described sounds like 2-3 years at least, doesn't seem plausible he did it in secret. Could it be he's just faking whatever legal knowledge he has based on what he picked up around the office?

Did anyone notice the symbolism in that opening scene when Mike and his old cop friend were centered beneath the most wanted mugshots? Great stuff.

Haven't listened to any of the podcasts yet or bothered to look it up to confirm, but when I watched that one, I think the guy who squeezes by Jimmy when he's in the bathroom on the phone is one of the guys from the mugshots. Wouldn't be surprised if there has been / will be more, either in the background or actually featured in the storyline somehow.

Looking forward to next week's episode. Bob said in some interview that the whole first season is a slow burn but that episode nine is where all the threads start to tie together and the story begins to really fall into place, or words to that effect.
