Better Call Saul Season Thread - Season Six - April 18th

Can't wait for tomorrows episode

Since Saul is already a douche, I guess this is going to mostly be more about him getting dug deeper in the meth hole, until we're at the position he was in during BB.

makes me wonder how they can go about making this series have a climactic ending since we know all about Saul in the BB era.  unless it skips past BB

It doesn't have to be climatic. They could end it before the first meeting between Saul & Walt or something like that.

or they can have a season that transitions into the breaking bad era but all from Sauls point of view and end to how he went to Cinnabon spot.

Not really, we already know that Saul isn't dying because the show is centered around him; the protagonist of a show isnt dying on the 1st or 2nd episode. Being a prequel has nothing to do with this predictability

I'm not talking about the 1st or 2nd episode. We know he's not going to die period. There isn't going to be a situation in which Saul will die in the last episode like Walt. Due to that, we know, he's never going to be in any REAL danger. What's most likely gonna go down is that people around him will be put in danger and since he's a lawyer and all he's going to have to get them out of it.

The point of any show (unless it's called You're Gonna Die) shouldn't be whether or not the protagonist is going to die or not.

Don't really get the point of this stating of the obvious. Saul won't die in the prequel eps, so what? The show is more than is so and so going to die.

Not to mention they already went post-BB in the opening scene, i.e. a place in the story where we don't know what happens...

Knowing whether or not Saul is going to be in danger is only one element of the storytelling. There are a ton of other conflicts and story threads they'll be focusing on where we don't know what to expect

Unless the show keeps putting him in danger and expecting us to be on the edge of our seat, it shouldn't be a problem.

For example, at the end of this episode, the intriguing part isn't that he has a gun pointed to him... it's who's pointing it and how that's gonna kickstart the story.

I can see how the car scene was confusing. Seemingly nice neighborhood. Why would they have a station wagon?. I also thought it was a mistake on Saul's part and it was just the old lady (maids) car to begin with. It now looks like it was the wrong car?

I was also confused at first with who Chuck was. But then I realized, it didnt really matter. Brother, dad, cousin, or family friend, Saul seemed to care about him and his well being. But at the same time, he wanted him to cash out of his share of the law firm. For either Saul's own benefit, or for Saul to feel like HH&M wasn't taking advtanage of family with the weekly checks... The C&D notice on his own name was that first straw into "breaking bad". And once you engage with criminals (Tuco), I don't think we'll be going at a light hearted pace anymore.

He's his brother. I think Saul wanted him to cash out for his own benefit and because he cares, because he believes Chuck won't get better and the checks he's getting won't amount to what he feels Chuck is owed.

Man when Tuco stepped outside

Need to watch again to catch any BB references I may have missed.

Loved that they started with the Cinnabon scene since that was described in Saul's last conversation with Walt.

Also does anybody have an idea what type of illness Chuck has?

 

[Master Zik]

Did anything happen after Tuco opened the door? I went to the bathroom cause of the Talking Dead commercial.

No. He just pulled him inside with a gun to Saul's face.

 

[...So]

[Cashflow]

Anyone else notice how the Hamlin guy ends up low balling Chuck. The checks he sent to Saul were for 26,000 and then the check he personally brings to chuck was for a measly 857 dollars.

 

[The Glove]

can't say enough how happy i am. this was amazing. stylistically it was breaking bad with the little nuggets of humor and the neat camera shots. love the subtle shout outs to breaking bad too and the show kept me thoroughly entertained. vince gilligan is a gawd, he made a show about a scumbag lawyer 100x more entertaining than a network flagship show about zombies. exceeded expections!

 

[a-friend]

About to call Saul

 

[00david00]

Realy excited for this season after that first ep

 

[celticspride34]

So glad to see great reviews...

Can't wait to watch this today...

 

[a-friend]

after 12 minutes.

Dude walked out to his oxidized yellow Suzuki Esteem. Man my cheeks are hurting. This is potential in a bottle right here.

Saul is that dude, fake it till you make it. 

 

[calibeebee]

This show did NOT disappoint!! Felt like a more entertaining episode of BB. Cannot wait to watch more man. This show is gonna be GOLDEN! So far all the characters are great, I pray to got they don't try and push another skyler white type character on us

 

[macbk]

No. He just pulled him inside with a gun to Saul's face.

Cool, glad I didn't miss anything more.

Looking forward to tonight. Can't wait to see Saul scheme his way out of Tuco's holding.

 

[Magic33]

Show has potential.

The skateboarders

[big1236]

I liked it too.

It's cool to see how Saul ended up how/where he was.

I felt bad for him when he was watching his old commercials tho....

 

[had pants]

Thanks for having a hankering

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[thatmartiankid]

Well at least we know why he changed his name from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman, probably has something major to do with Chucks firm.

 

[caleekicks]

I thought I read somewhere that he changed his name to Goodman, in order to trick potential clients to think he was jewish.

 

[buc em]

I wonder how much business Cinnabon is getting today
