Better Call Saul



As I am sure many of y'all already know, a spinoff of "Breaking Bad" titled "Better Call Saul" will be airing in 2014. This is going to be a prequel to Breaking Bad and will be based on the character of Saul Goodman from "Breaking Bad."

I, for one, will be watching. I'm sure the majority of all of you other "Breaking Bad" fans will be as well. Might as well get the discussion going sooner rather than later.

So... what are your hopes, expectations and/or concerns with the show? Here are some of mine:

Hopes: I hope to see Saul do his thing in the courtroom. I hope to see strong, unique supporting characters. I hope to see Breaking Bad foreshadowing. I hope he has an intriguing paralegal and/or assistant. I hope to see Breaking Bad characters such as Fring, Mike, etc...whoever. I hope the show kicks ass.

Expectations: I don't expect it to be as good as "Breaking Bad" (because nothing else is, really), but I expect it to be good since Vince Gilligan is writing. I somewhat expect it to have an even balance of comedy and drama...since Saul undeniably provides a substantial amount of comedic relief in "Breaking Bad." I expect to see "courtroom Saul." I expect the "Breaking Bad" references and character cameos to be less than what I hope. If it isn't even a fraction as good as "Breaking Bad," I expect it to be better than 95% of everything else on TV, since there is some shitty shit on TV these days.

Concerns: I'd be a liar if I were to say that I didn't think this show has potential of flopping and certainly failing to meet the presumed high expectations of the audience. Don't get me wrong, I think it will be good... but I think it COULD suck if not executed properly. My main concern is Saul ultimately proving himself to be a "little dab will do ya" type of character, which would lead to a show centered around his character not working out. I am hoping that the character of Saul will not be so over-used and constantly over the top, that he becomes annoying to me, thus ruining his character for me altogether... Not saying I think this will be how it goes down...just saying I think there is a CHANCE of this being the case, which prompts me to believe that a strong supporting cast is VITAL in terms of the amount of success/quality this show will accumulate. All in all, I don't think VG will steer us in an unfortunate direction though...I think they'll pull it off.

Thoughts?

DISCUS!!!!

The latest episode was great but I did think it was weird when My Name is Slim Shady or whatever the F that song was played. Odd choice.

I think that was to signify his complete transformation from "I changed my name to Saul Goodman" to "This is me."

You are referencing a remake.

They played the original on BCS.

It's not a "remake", it's the original song, which was released in 1974 by an English artist named Labi Siffre called "I Got The...". Eminem sampled the song for use in Slim Shady but not after he was forced to make changes to they lyrics. I was a Director at his Publishing Company at the time and know all the back info.

Anyway, I thought it was a brilliant choice by the Music Supervisor, Thomas Golubić, because for some (including myself), it invokes the Slim Shady lyric without actually using it.

And even more importantly, it invokes Jimmy/Saul's dire situation. Is he Jimmy or is he Saul? Jimmy most likely wouldn't be in the desert, hanging on for dear life while transporting $7 million in cash in the Mexican desert. But Saul?

Clearly, that's a yes for Saul.

Yes I referenced it as "Slim Shady or whatever the F that song was". Didn't know what the original was called. It makes sense but I've just never cared for that beat/song. It's kinda goofy.

I'll be flat-out honest. When I watched the episode I thought,"Why in the hell are they playing 'Slim Shady' during this scene."


As the song played out for a bit I realized it was the original.

Very clever.

It was the best episode this season and it's been a pretty good season so far. I think there's 10 episodes total and we've had 8 so far? Oh hell there's a new one tonight. This quarantine makes me forget what day it is sometimes...
