Re: TV: Better Call Saul
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?

Re: TV: Better Call Saul
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.tragabigzanda wrote:Agreed. The intro flashback at the Cinnabon was great, and it's great to see McGill/Saul slowly become a bit more brazen.EJ wrote:so glad this show's back on. first ep did not disappoint.

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.cutuphalfdead wrote: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.tragabigzanda wrote:Agreed.

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