a friend just told me he's been hired for the writing staff on Better Call Saul. He's super talented, so I've got hopes for that show.

is this is a more lighthearted comedy series featuring characters we know wind up having to abruptly escape their entire life or with an incidental and unceremonious death
― conrad, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 11:42 (ten years ago) link
I guess Mike being in the series makes sense... When he was introduced, wasn't he working for Saul as his enforcer/clean-up guy? It was only later that he was revealed to be doing the same for Gus, IIRC.

it's a prequel except that the timeline will jump forward so that we can squeeze in as many breaking bad characters as possible, in fact 10 minutes every week will be devoted to the ongoing adventures of walter white who survived and now cooks meth with jesse in the basement of saul's cinnabon restaurant opposite zombie gus's chicken shack

If Walt reappears I hope it's just as dorky chemistry teacher Walt in a minimal cameo, these two character intersecting in some completely inconsequential way.

Been watching Orphan Black recently, and while it's trashier and less artfully done than BB it's the only thing I've seen since that comes close in terms of tension and narrative drive.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 3 July 2014 12:08 (nine years ago) link
Strongly disagree, it's muddled and going on way too long. Nothing like the tautness of BB. Still enjoying it to an extent but it HAS to end soon, surely
― kinder, Thursday, 3 July 2014 12:13 (nine years ago) link
Like with many shows, it relies way too much (narratively) on piecing together random bits from the past which may or may not still be relevant, etc and which come to light in a piecemeal way just to drive the plot.

Oh yeah s1 is pretty good! Fun mix of genres. S2 is where it gets a bit flabby

so Better Call Saul is going to be like Godfather Part II, except centered around the Robert Duvall character and a comedy
i mean, i'll definitely be there
― da croupier, Thursday, 3 July 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
yeah whatever misgivings i have i'll definitely be watching this. the heavier gilligan involvement and season 2 pickup would give me hope that this thing actually turned out alright except amc is pretty desperate right now. in retrospect pure luck breaking bad got to end when/how it did, had that ratings bump or amc's realization that the only two prestige shows they pulled off were their first two (that they didn't have much to do w/ developing) and beyond that they have one fluke megahit that even fans of the show don't think is actually executed very well (but zombies so they'll still watch) occurred earlier and we're looking at three more seasons of breaking bad. i don't rate it quite as highly as most but i do miss it, just ridiculously well executed entertainment. the closest i've come to the hit that breaking bad could provide routinely was that big scene from true detective.

Not sure Gilligan would've been down for it running for any more seasons whatever the circumstances (though whether he would've had the power to prevent it is a different matter...).

It would be so easy to do a sequel (maybe a movie):Recreate that last shot, in which Walt Heisenberg, both "sides" of his personality/self-image now integrated by taking responsibility, admitting his sin of pride, solving all problems his way etc.,is lying there, bleeding out, staring up at the Great Beyond, those angels standing over him----then he recognizes them as cops. He blinks, wakes up in massively guarded hospital room. DAMN! Start another plan.Not like the cast is doing anything much: Cranston's finished his Godzilla movie, for inst. C'mon Vince, this would add to your savings, you could be even bolder with other projects, go even further beyond BB...

I knew you'd mention Oz, but he's gonna be a problem tenant anyway, incl. in supermax prisons, with the Aryan Nation barons in those, once word gets around about his killing all them Nazis at once, the same Nazis whose prison contacts killed all of Gus's former employees in there, so they wouldn't squeal (sorry, "flip" is the modern cable term).
