Better Call Saul

[Baz]

I enjoyed it - I knew Jeffrey would screw up during the heist...lol.....Saul of course ad libbed through it like a pro!

Couple homages to:

1. The Dirty Dozen in the sequence of nabbed merchandise with rhymes....

2. The split screen ala Frankenheimer's Grand Prix & The Boston Strangler - plus more....

The camera work alone in this series is impressive!

He just wanted the approval of his brother. Then he wanted to help his GF/Wife. He paid with a year out of law and developed the Saul Goodman persona.

*RANT ON*
I don't give a flying fark about Gene. I want to see Saul Goodman doing his Schtick. We finally reach that point in the series and we lose an entire episode to Gene? So happy they gave Carol Burnett some work. But we came to see Saul Goodman.

The deadbolt didn’t turn itself.

Wow! Great show!!!

Seeing Jessie and Heisenberg (and the RV!) back together again was like old times!

Yeah, I was hoping to spot the portable Honda generator (not painted red) from Season 1 of Breaking Bad. I remember first seeing it amd couldn't wait to tell everybody at work (Honda) that our Honda EU3000Is generator had gone 'outlaw'

'zactly, I said that out loud while watching. haha

Btw, that last guy with cancer is Stuart from Big Bang, the comic book store owner. I bet he's dead when Saul finds him. The barbituates they gave him, combined with the booze and his meds prob kills him.

I really wanted to see Kim's departure. Then, he has the phone booth convo...was that supposed to be her on with him?

If yes, then she'll be back or we'll learn more about the call.

Me, too... I was crushed for Saul when she broke it off.

Yes, he called her workplace.

The only way it could be someone else is if the person on the other end was telling him Kim didn't work there anymore, but as I remember it, there were clues in the context it was Kim.

Just down the road from me too.....

Two episodes remain. Predictions? Loose ends you want to see shored up?

[Sooner or later]

Kim!

[CurtEgerer]

Jesse has aged big time. Voice and face! Did not realize the old lady was Carol Burnett until last night! Interesting scene with Kim and Jesse. So the entire connection to Saul was the result of Kim.

[CurtEgerer]

Predictions? It certainly isn't going the way I thought it would. Was expecting much more of an overlap with BB. The one thing that has been consistent is the scams. So I think there will be one last big scam by Kim and Saul. Saul because he's Saul and needs a change. Kim because she'll get charged in the murder of Howard. Maybe it will result in them living happily ever after in a distant location, setting things up for another sequel???

[pavulon]

There will be no more scams involving Kim as a participant. She scammed for the thrill of it and has/is now making square her selfish ways and feeling the pain she has caused. Jimmy scammed because it numbed his pain--he's a classic addict. I don't see him surviving Monday night a free man (at best).

[Deschodt]

There would be some poetic justice if Pinkman was the only survivor..

[CurtEgerer]

We shall see

[CurtEgerer]

The timelines are a bit confusing, but 'Gene' is already in Nebraska at the same time Walt is hiding in New Hampshire. Maybe Walt stops by the Cinnabon for a visit on his way back to NM .... and takes out Saul.
