TV: Better Call Saul

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Jesus fucking Christ; there's a Chris Hardwick hosted after-show

If he's making a name for himself in ABQ as Jimmy McGill, how is he going to become "Saul Goodman" in the same town, and in just a few years?

Agreed. The intro flashback at the Cinnabon was great, and it's great to see McGill/Saul slowly become a bit more brazen.

I thought what was interesting about that scene was that this is a show about self identity, and when it's all over for our hero, he sees himself as SG not JM.

Good point. They are making it pretty clear that Jimmy want to become somebody else. He likes to scam people, to earn easy money and he is good at it, so he is actually Saul.

It would be cool to have more of those flash forwards.

Im afraid it will just make me miss Breaking Bad

[The Argonaut]

It is, in its own way, better than Breaking Bad. Not in every way, but in its own way.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

6 episodes into the first season and i'm really enjoying it so far

odenkirk is a national treasure

[Stickman]

Squat cobbler.
