Re: TV: Better Call Saul
I really don't want them to screw this up.
I enjoyed the show's very deliberate pace throughout seasons 1 and 2 but, on second viewing, this last episode was just too much. It's Hannibal-season-3 level tedious. It felt at times like the script had come out short and so the director decided to linger on long, drawn-out moments to fill the time (which I know isn't what happened because the episode was actually 10 minutes longer than normal).
I love this show. I want it to do well and not get cancelled. But it keeps getting slower and it keeps hemorrhaging viewers.

I love the deliberate pace. Everyone realises that Mike's brief 2 episode story arc is going to have an amazing payoff, right? Don't forget, BB had an entire episode about killing a fly.

Which is one of my favorite episodes of Breaking Bad, not actually about killing a fly, and way more entertaining than BCS S3E1.

I thought the season 3 premier was pretty good.

Re: TV: Better Call Saul
The Fly episode of BB sucked.
Bryan Cranston (an AMAZING actor) notwithstanding, Better Call Saul is a much better show and if it gets cancelled I will kill someone.

Last night's episode was pretty good. I was worried that they were going to drag a couple of things out, but it looks like things are getting going quickly this season.

The photography in episode 2 is unbelievable, especially during Mike's boring stakeout

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.
