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.

I'm probably overly critical because I binged through it in a little over a day. The repetitive parts stick out more. If I watched an episode a week, I'd probably think it was great.

I really do like this show, and it's a fresh take on the BB style with a new "feel." Only problem I've had to far is the pacing, the beginning of the last episode was almost 20 minutes with no dialogue when I fast forwarded my DVR. The shots were really nice and I was decently entertained, but then again, almost nothing happened from it anyway. Could've been done in 5 minutes. I do think it's great how Chuck is just as conniving as Jimmy but he knows how to play with Jimmy's emotions and the pay off was fantastic.

Also something I really wanted to bring up if it hasn't already. Does anyone else notice how quiet this show is? Same with BB, there is almost no background noise at all. Even movies will have a little reverb in the background to give some ambiance. But this show it's quiet as hell. They must have their sets like vacuum locked surrounded by concrete. Anyone else notice this or am I crazy?

No way. That would mess Jimmy up too much (if it was somehow his fault, as I assume would happen on his TV show) for him to become the reckless Saul Goodman.

I agree with Argo; he'd become a broken man. If anything, Kim is his conscience and whatever their falling out may be may inform his evolution into Saul

Posted: **Mon April 24, 2017 12:24 am**

Yeah, she'll have to completely reject him in order for Jimmy to allow himself to indulge all his worst tendencies and become Saul Goodman. Chuck might die, though.

Chuck is such a bastard.

Also, RM thrives on the sunk cost fallacy

i wish RM could develop 2 different "spoiler" tags. one for an actual spoiler and one for a future hypothesis. cause they are used interchangeably and makes it impossible to ever click it cause even if an episode hasn't aired yet there is a chance the plot was leaked and that's the spoiler.

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

cool story bro

Matt has been on a crusade for proper spoiler code usage for years now. It's time we heed his call.

Spoilers are a big problem on the web, but Entertainment Weekly is notorious for spoiling shit in their magazine. I was flipping through an issue from last year and found out about a MASSIVE spoiler from Orange Is The New Black on accident.

Spoiler: show: The last episode was pretty good. I'm excited to see how Mike and Gus become associates. Fuck Chuck. I love how Mike got Hectors' drivers busted. Every week I'm blown away by a lot of the little details like the bell ringing and the wheelchair when Mike visited the Dr.
to get the meth. Vince Gilligan is a genius. One of VA's finest!

Ratings for this season have been really bad

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.
