It would be hilarious if these guys are turning in Saul commercials as their projects.

More BB rewatch thoughts: I really want Kuby and I'm hoping we see more Lydia. Also, from the way Mike talks about Lydia he seems to absolutely loathe her, for more than suggesting his guys die.

His arc this season was boring. Maybe if they had shot some of that it wouldn't have been.

Every time Mike is on screen I'm loving it. I was enthralled watching him take a car apart. I feel sorry for people who don't enjoy Mike.

Maybe Kim runs away to Belize and that's why he's always pushing people there. In a series ending twist Gene will go to Belize and Kim, Chuck, Howard, Walt, Jesse, Todd, Mike and Marco come out for a HUGE party

I'm trying to imagine what Breaking Bad would have been like with this show's pacing. Obviously Walt had fits and starts too, but he was already cooking meth and killing people in the first episode. Imagine if he was still puttering around at the car wash in the third season and wrestling with the morality of selling meth. Obviously I don't think that's really a fair comparison, but it amused me anyway. I do think the breakneck pace of the pilot has a lot to do with why Breaking Bad is so great though. The opening flash forward makes you think it's the end of the season or maybe even series, but nope, it gets there in one episode and lets you know immediately that the show's going to be something special.

Jesse is introduced at the end of the first season, then spend the entire second one hanging out with Badger, Combo and Skinny Pete without meeting WW again.

I like BCS more, and I really do remember Breaking Bad not being particularly fast pace either. So much of the show is domestic conflict that doesn't ever play out especially differently. I like the show but it sure as hell wasnt a Mecca of fast paced TV.

I know you're exaggerating but BB had plenty of slow burns and gradually developed story lines. Sure, the pace overall was faster, but I'm not sure that's why BB was "better". I didn't find BCS all that slow actually but I'm engaged by good writing, compelling characters and exceptional acting and I don't think it ever faltered in that regard so I was never bored.

Week to week releases is great for multi camera sitcoms where there's kind of an overarching story in the background but each week is its own thing. A lot of shows now are making 10-13 hour long movies and they really should just release them all at once.

I didn't find BCS all that slow actually but I'm engaged by good writing, compelling characters and exceptional acting and I don't think it ever faltered in that regard so I was never bored. The difference is that Breaking Bad tells a story that's clearly about something, which is Walter White's criminal career, and it jumps right into it. There were aspects of that story that weren't super fast paced, but Walter White went from normal guy to killer in the pilot, and if killing when his life was in immediate danger didn't drive it home enough, he killed someone in cold blood in the third episode. Better Call Saul started off as a show that was going to be largely about Saul Goodman as a criminal attorney, featuring the return of a beloved side character from Breaking Bad, but has turned into the prolonged descent of Jimmy, featuring beloved side characters from Breaking Bad. Jimmy's plot in season 2 basically consisted of him saying "not today, devil," then being bored for a year, and the reason was because the people making the show decided not to move him to the place we know he's headed. The third season was stronger in general than the second, and the story of the Brothers McGill offered up one of the best episodes of television in years, but even now it remains in two steps forward, one step back mode.

Alan_Shore posted:Every time Mike is on screen I'm loving it. I was enthralled watching him take a car apart. I feel sorry for people who don't enjoy Mike. But I had honestly forgotten why he was doing anything at the start, which is kind of a big deal. When Gus explained it was all about that good samaritan, it didn't really seem as visceral or interesting as when he was providing for or protecting his granddaughter. There were some scenes that tried to make it more impactful, like meeting that woman who showed how it felt to have a loved one just disappeared, but for the most part it felt like Mike's real dramatic story was over pretty early on and he was just spinning his wheels while crazy interesting stuff was happening to Jimmy. Gus was fun to watch, but didn't really have much weight on his own. Here's a smart cool guy, who's really angry deep down, laying a trap for the guy he hates. Okay, that's pretty fun to watch, but again in contrast to the much more emotional stories of Jimmy and even previous-season Mike. The good part of the cartel sub plot was Nacho. Nacho and his dad and all that was fantastic. We had three characters in the cartel world this season, and while they were all great to watch while they were on the screen, only one of them had any sort of compelling emotional weight that stuck with you. Until Nacho's story started being really interesting I was wishing we could just spend some more of our brief time with Jimmy, Kim, Chuck, and Howard, because all of them were fantastic this season.

Eiba posted:Mike taking the car apart was great. I personally really appreciated all the drawn out "Mike does a thing" scenes. They were fascinating. I agree with all of this, and I also think one reason Nacho is more interesting than the other characters in cartel world is that we don't know exactly what's going to end up happening with him. The more characters from Breaking Bad are in a scene together, the more you more or less know what's going to happen, and while that still means Nacho wasn't going to kill Hector (and there's at least some reason to believe Nacho will survive too), it gives his scenes more tension than something just between Gus and Hector, for example.
