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...).

Just watched Blue Ruin, an excellent film. Reminded me somewhat of BB aesthetically, and in the thoroughness of its plotting.

Is there a Better Call Saul thread?

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...

They've also salvaged Gus' brain, which they've implanted into Waltbot's cybernetic boss. Comedy bickering ensues.

Damn I don't trust daschunds anyway! All that crazy macho barking coming out of wienerdog bodies! 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).

'The series aired from June to September 2014, airing a total of 62 episodes'
Eh? How is that possible?

I'm guessing four nights a week. Common for telenovelas. And soap operas, and late night shows.

Walt Jr. eats breakfast at least 19 times over the entire run of this show. This does however count a time when he just drank a cup of coffee and a time when he was shown talking to Skyler as she prepared breakfast but wasn't shown actually eating the breakfast.

First I'd ever heard of this:
Gilligan's follow-up series, 2015's Battle Creek, was canceled by CBS after 13 episodes.
― Foster Twelvetrees (Ward Fowler), Saturday, 10 September 2016 19:37 (seven years ago) link
Gilligan had nothing to do with the series itself; it was made from a pilot script he'd written before Breaking Bad.

1: very good from early on with characters being intense while just quietly watching (poor old domingo, chained with a bike lock to the post in the cellar)2: very good on all the layers of hiding and emotional -- and quickly misperceived -- need for lies within the family (walt mostly but skyler also)
