I don't think any risk of it being cancelled. This interview was just done.

Ratings don't really matter as much as prestige, clout, and buzz. This show had a limited run from the outset.

The shot of Kim and Jimmy after she said the sunk cost fallacy line melted my icy cold heart.

spike's "spoiler" was not a spoiler. but how would i know that before clicking?

cool story bro
thanks for explaining the joke, chud

While I don't think it's likely to get cancelled any time soon, this interview isn't really proof of anything. Talking about future plans doesn't mean those plans couldn't still be squashed by the powers-that-be [in this case Sony, if they don't see a significant enough return on investment].

Also, the official return of Gus and the Mexican doctor also marks the return of Really Bad Spanish. Looking forward to more of this. It'll be just like Breaking Bad.

I know Metastasis, I watched the whole thing. I'm still not clear on what you're asking but maybe I'm just high

In the fictional world of Metastasis, is there a TV show like Better Call Saul, about the past adventures of... the lawyer... from Metastasis? What?

yes. "Does Saul Guzman have his own show yet?" was what I was originally wondering

No, and I doubt it'll ever happen. The Metastasis version of Saul is too creepy, unlikeable and old.

I'm looking forward to re-reading this page sober and seeing whether that question was really as weirdly formulated as it feels right now

I hate to stick up for Mecca but I thought it was pretty obvious what he was asking.
