Yes, after the second episode I cheated and checked IMDB.com, and Nacho's actor is in 10 episodes.

onlycafe 02-23-2015 01:26 PM

starting at 6:30 they are running the three first episodes, and at 10:00 pm the new one.

Baz 02-23-2015 03:09 PM

Holy cow....a BCS marathon!

That must mean a cancellation is looming. I sure hope not...

They already have a full 2 seasons signed for, and my guess is it will go long after that.

Baz 02-23-2015 06:41 PM

It's already (at least............) twice as good as 'The Walking Dead'.

Cheap suits, except for McKean's and maybe Odenkirk's. But overall poorly dressed.

onlycafe 02-24-2015 01:38 PM

's'all good, man.

Baz 03-02-2015 05:14 PM

Another new episode tonight, folks! ;)

74-911 03-02-2015 07:33 PM

Next week we start learning Mike's story. Should be interesting.

onlycafe 03-03-2015 09:11 AM

even spammers are watching "better call saul" ...

somebody please buy that poor ******* a proper vowel.

puddy 03-03-2015 07:20 PM

I thought it was a touch slow but I still love it, need more!

wdfifteen 03-04-2015 05:38 AM

Monday's show seemed kind of odd. It was almost all about the Michael McKean character. I hope that's building up to something.

He appears to be the moral compass / guilt trip that Jim needs to keep him relatively honest.

I agree something has to happen there for Jim to be free to become Saul.

onlycafe 03-04-2015 09:30 AM

i keep wondering.... does he become saul to escape the danger of a potential hit, or will he be paid off to give up the mcgill name, or ???..... i'm staying tuned.

wdfifteen 03-04-2015 10:39 AM

I think they answered that in Breaking Bad, but I won't spoil it for you.

stomachmonkey 03-09-2015 07:03 AM

Interesting read on the pacing.

86 seconds to the sofa: In praise of Better Call Saul

Love this part:

Quote:

Later in the Hummel figurine scene, after Jimmy’s client completes her 86-second journey to the sofa, she resumes her inordinately complex discussion of who will get which tchotchkes after she dies. “No matter what, I want the towheaded twins to go to Reverend Lawrence’s grandson,” she says. Jimmy immediately pushes back: “Don’t you mean Reverend Hanes? Lawrence’s grandson is going to get the lute-playing angel, because he was in the choir.” The scene pivots on this exchange. Until now, we have assumed that Jimmy is bored and maybe a bit disdainful, which is probably true. But he has also maintained his focus to such an extent that he knows this woman’s cockamamie estate plans even better than she does. Jimmy doesn’t succumb to the boredom, he overcomes it.

Great episode...they did Mike's story very very well!

I love it when he blasted the dirty cops - best part of the whole episode.

Absolutely a great episode and now we know Mikes story (to a point anyway). Will be interesting to watch him morph into Saul's fixer...

red-beard 03-09-2015 08:02 PM

Didn't he work for Gus?

I'm guessing there was no exit wound on mike? I thought it looked like the shot exited and hit the pole he was in front of.

Hell of an episode, a lot was revealed.

Just watched the first two episodes. He really does have a mouth on him. Great stuff. Gillian delivers.

Baz 03-27-2015 03:59 AM

I missed last episode (#8) so will have two new ones in a row to watch this coming Monday. :)

Black968 03-30-2015 05:04 PM

This show is just not working. Kind of boring all over the map with no direction. Was not expecting it to be as great as BB. Maybe things will pick up later in the season?

Baz 03-30-2015 05:30 PM

This show is awesome! Never boring! Was expecting it to be as great as BB and am not disappointed! I hope the season is long - so I can enjoy much more!

GWN7 03-30-2015 07:25 PM

Poor Jimmy. :(

74-911 03-30-2015 07:37 PM

Jimmy is about to break bad me thinks...

Unfortunately only 1 more episode this "season"... whatever that means ?

tabs 03-31-2015 12:35 AM

It is building, layer upon layer, drawing you into the lives of the characters...

It doesn't need to be an action series, of shoot em ups and car crashes....

I think it is excellent. 5 stars.

Yeah really.

Saul/Jimmy was my least favorite character on BB. Mainly cause the guy was just a complete ass with no qualms about it. I didnt think I'd enjoy the show.

So far, the show has changed how I felt about the guy. There was an inkling of the guy wanting to do the right thing. After this episode, hes been completely betrayed. In the process, he alienated the one person who actually cared about him, Kim.

stomachmonkey 03-31-2015 03:18 PM

I have not watched Monday nights episode yet.

Partly due to time and the other because I have a feeling Jimmy gets shafted by Chuck and it may even be revealed that Chuck is the one who made the no hire decision after Jimmy passed the bar.

Jimmy is a guy struggling to fly straight and be a mensch but life keeps kicking him square in the nuts and it's hard to watch.

I am pulling for him to have a win but we all know that's not going to happen.

I think they have done a terrific job creating a likable sympathetic underdog and getting everybody emotionally invested in pulling for him but also setting the stage for justifying the behavior we know is to come.

Brilliant IMHO.

NY65912 04-01-2015 02:54 AM

This Monday's episode was great. It's interesting to watch the character development of Mike & Jimmy. The acting between Chuck and Jimmy at the end was fabulous. Only 1 more show left to the season, disappointing, wish there were more.

puddy 04-01-2015 03:40 AM

I'm absolutely loving this show. Haven't found it to be too slow for me. I was thinking about stopping watching so I could binge watch all the episodes once they are done but I just cant wait, I have to see the show every week. I wonder if theres more history to be revealed between Jimmy & the blonde, were they lovers at one point?

Also love Mikes story, can't get enough of him and this last episode was perfect.

Mike - "I suppose i'll take one of your guns" :D

stomachmonkey 04-01-2015 10:06 AM

Just watched it.

That was tough.

Gut wrenching.

Anybody catch episode 8?
That opening shot was amazing!!! One of the best long shots I've seen in a long time.
Love this show.
Everything about it is so well done.

Gogar 04-06-2016 06:07 PM

Really good! It's a slow build. Each episode ends at that perfect spot too.
