Better Call Saul Season Thread - Season Six - April 18th

Filler episode? I actually thought a lot of **** happened and it was really good :smokin

Agree that next week looks insane though.

This show has so much promise. Vince the God :smokin
 
Did jimmy really receive 500k or is that fake money.. I imagine if he was that rich he would've had his office in someplace other than a strip mall when breaking bad took place

I liked this episode way more than the last one. JImmy is a good dude man. I keep thinking about the first episode where he's in nebraska working at cinnabon. It's already depressing me to know, he's gonna go through some **** I don't want to have to see him go back to slippin jimmy and become a monster.

Anyways, it was interesting there weren't any "bad guys" in this episode. Also interesting that the cops wrongfully assaulted chuck and neither him nor jimmy (both lawyers) talked about pursuing a case.

sidenote:
If we're following the color theme theory where orange is kinda bad and red is really bad this scene could be foreshadowing something. The orange fish pretty much stay on her side of the screen...... (I know it's a reach but that link a few pages back has me looking at everything lol)

Lol it was fake.

You didn't see the dude's face on the money? Someone posted a pic of it. 
 
I think we have seen from BB that Vince and his writers do not just create filler for nothing. Sure it may seem slow but down the line it will probably tie up nicely and logically. If this were TWD then I'd be upset because of their track record for creating a bunch of filler.

I thought this episode blended comedy and drama very well.

The first half with all his new clients had me :lol:

The second half with Chuck was interesting because I still do not know what his deal is espciallly with the doctor pulling that trick with his bed.

Also more Mike is never and bad thing and the preview for next week :pimp:

Filler my ***. If anything you needed an ep like this and more like them this season. This show couldn't just survive multiple seasons off of Jimmy's shenanigans and eventual change in to Saul. I mean BB was never just one thing. You have to diversify. An ep like this is what will play a role down the line and be meaningful.

Once his brother is established, lets not pretend ppl weren't like where was Chuck throughout BB?

With all that said, it was another good ep and I liked the set up for the Mike centric ep next week.

The studying of Matlock's whole look :rofl: That got me cuz my grandma watches that among other old time lawyer shows.
 
All this whole I'm not going back slippin jimmy talk, leads me to believe his brother is going to die this season, and then he'll make the transition.

ep may have been on the slower side, but it could've some loose ends and details and answered some questions. twas pretty money to me.
 
I'm not saying the show needs to be strictly all about Saul and no other character development...I'm saying these two characters they're forcing on us just kind of suck at the moment. I have zero interest in hearing anything more about Chuck's electro-magnetic sensitivity, or his old business partner being shady about sending them checks. It's tired already.

There were two, maybe three good parts in this episode....when Saul was meeting with the new clients, the ending with Mike, and the part where the cop called his partner to the back and said Chuck must be a tweaker...leading me to believe we aren't too far away from something meth related.

:lol: really ?


The show is just getting underway and it is primarily about Saul. You have to give them a chance to establish and set up future storylines. Think back to characters in Breaking Bad like Walt JR and Ed the Disappearer . These were not "characters" as much as they were plot devices used to add depth to other characters or move the story along. Walt JR and the baby were the single most worthless characters in the series. Their only purpose was to showcase Walts human side and allow the viewer to rationalize much of what Walt did. Ed was only there as a means of getting Walt out of New Mexico and to a large extent dragging the series on for another season (or half season). He wasn't written to be "ed", he was written to keep things moving.

This series is a continuous storyline, not an episodic anthology like the X-Files or Tales from the Crypt. It's crucial that they incorporate characters as plot devices to keep the story moving and establish reasons for things that are sure to happen later. His brothers mental illness and HHM aren't there because people care about them. They're there to give us a better grasp on Sauls personal life and in HHM's case, definitely setting up a future plot-line.

very good explanation, but could you remind me who Ed was from breaking bad?
 
If in a few episodes it turns out that Chuck is actually a "tweaker" I will retract all statements.

Til then...Chuck and his old biz partner ******* suck and whole episodes shouldn't be wasted focusing on them.
 
This dude was watching Matlock, then showed up the next day at a retirement home in a Matlock suit LOL :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I Love Saul. Already IMO one of the greatest characters in TV History. Hilarity every week.
