Tell me about it. When people ask how it was growing up in a 2nd generation German family I tell them this story.

A German family is having dinner when the 5 year old boy throws down his spoon and says, “Damnit Mom, this soup is too hot!”
The family is astounded. These are the first words the kid has ever spoken.
“Son, you can speak! In 5 years you haven’t spoken a word!”
The son says, “Of course not. Up until now everything has been satisfactory. “
I admit, the Slyker side of my family resembled the story more than the other German side, but still pretty revealing.

Never watched the show prior to binge watching the entire thing recently. I've been missing out.

It's (mostly) not BB levels of dark and the time shifting is entertaining. Jimmy is 10 miles wide, 2 inches deep and headed for the FWPP.

Not a bad start to the new season. You can already feel the tension building between Jimmy (Saul) and Kim. Look forward to Part II tonight.

[pavulon]

Kim is Jimmy with a slightly better moral compass. Nacho seems to be on borrowed time. The Cinnabon foreshadowing is interesting.

This (and B-bad) were there only shows I ever watched that can be that slow, with comparatively little happening, and yet still be super enjoyable. On the flip side I find it impossible to re-watch any of them... First time though, great stuff...

Spoiler below -













So whom and why is someone cutting the drugs - since the story that Gus provided we know is false?

[Baz]

I wonder how Gene is going to "deal" with the taxi driver?

[biosurfer1]

i'm surprised that Gus allowed the German's to go back home since they clearly know what happened to Verner.

I know they have shown (quite brilliantly) that dealing with dead bodies is a pain in the real world, let alone 7, so I'm sure that played into it but I would think Gus wouldn't like that many people running around who clearly know too much.

Also, I'm seeing some great run in's and confrontations involving Lalo in the future. What a great character.

So... Is Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad?

I'm able to borrow the entire series on Bluray. (my brother's copy)
I tried but I could never really get into Breaking Bad... The lead character "Walter White" just annoyed me.

[astrochex]

Don’t know if its better, just a little different, imho.

I think its fascinating because of the links it provides to Breaking Bad. But on its own, its still a fascinating character study.

Season 6 starts tonight

[Captain Ahab Jr]

We've only got 6 episodes of season 5 to go

It's our 2nd time of watching the full run of the show

Really looking forward to Season 6

[CurtEgerer]

Don't have AMC. Anyone know when S6 will be out on Netflix??

[ramonesfreak]

My guess would be sometime 2023

[pavulon]

One less Cayenne TT in the world.

[Baz]

Didn't realize it would be 2 1/2 hours so a lot going on in this first episode.

That opening scene must be a glimpse into the future - a tease really - just like the Cinnabon scenes we've seen.

I really enjoyed it and best of all was seeing Kim Wexler again!

We know what Saul chooses to do in the last season of BB so I’m guessing that’s what become of his house after he leaves
