I mean we were all super skeptical of Better Call Saul, and look where that ended up.
So I have to keep an open mind about this, even if I don't like the premise.

What is wrong with you? Are you actually this stupid? I mean, what the hell is wrong with you? I'm really asking. You don't know? You know why you don't know? Because you don't think! That's why! You don't know how to think, you never figured out how to think, did you Gilligan?

I don’t know why people don’t have faith in this? Better Call Saul is one of the best shows on TV.

This sounds stupid on paper but Better Call Saul has proven that Vince Gilligan actually knows how to expand the Breaking Bad universe in interesting ways. If Better Call Saul didn’t exist, I’d be far more skeptical, but since it does exist, I have faith in Gilligan that he’s taking this seriously and isn’t simply concerned with fan service and dragging something out. |

I'm very much against a sequel to BB. Or a prequel, a remake or whatever.
I'm not saying I ain't gonna watch it. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But I strongly believe it's a very bad idea.

I hate to break some news to ya... Meaning better call Saul? Yeah, I know... My opinion is that some movies or series you should just let them be. No sequels-prequels-remakes-reboots etc. Don't try to milk the f*cking cow, you somehow spoil the legacy of the original. My point of view, anyway. |

Frankly, the show went on so long that it damaged its own legacy. It wasn't bad per se, just going in circles through character development we already had. I haven't seen BCS yet, but a spinoff about Saul doesn't seem like a bad idea in and of itself -- there's a lot of thematic material to mine in his crooked business practices, and he has the entertainment factor to carry the show through. This though? Eh.... I don't see how Pinkman has any more of a story to tell that will add on to what we've already been given. But then, I've never been a Jesse fan. |

I was a Pinkman fan but indeed he has no story to tell any more (supposedly he's cooking again, a plot which is what I call "milking the cow")... I disagree BB went on for so long. It was slow paced from the beginning and kept it that way. Maybe they should have made season 5 with 12-13 episodes rather than making a 5th and a 6th seasons with 8 episodes each. Meaning, about 4 episodes shorter in total. But that's about it. |

Meaning, about 4 episodes shorter in total. But that's about it. It was an interesting show in that it developed in "circles" as I liked to say at the time. A lot of the show has slipped my mind, but IIRC the development of the show was like this: 1. Walter/Jesse in trouble with cancer/money, so they cook to make money 2. Become big shots 3. Get attacked because they're big shots (people muscling in on their turf, or Walter/Jesse fail simple things like controlling their distributors) 4. Lose all their money (legal fees, Jesse's stupidity fees) 5. Do horrible shit to get back on top (usually murder and lying) 6. Repeat from the top On the personal level, the show was about Walter's impotence. It started off as a black comedy about his impotence influencing his need to abuse Jesse before becoming a drama about how his impotence influences his need to abuse Jesse, before becoming a drama about how his abuse of Jesse becomes a need to control everyone. It's a strong character arc that feels a little belabored, but is mostly solid enough. As for Jesse, he never develops. Jesse is forever traumatized and never given agency of his own to break free. Even at the end, it is Papa Walter who saves the day. Jesse seemingly exists to be used -- by Walter, by Jane, by Gus, by Lydia. He's an abused child who never grows up, and I guess that makes sense on paper. It just didn't work for me, because he remained largely stagnant over the course of the series. Walter did too, in a way: trapped in his own ego and paranoia. But going on for so long, the show basically just kept reinforcing its same few character beats (Walter never developing past abusive dad, Jesse never past abused son) instead of... going anywhere new. And if you want to tell a story about how neither of them can break free from those shackles, cool. But do you need to take so many seasons to do it? |

That's what they wanted to show: Walter finally "breaking bad", which actually was natural for him to do. Not living the boring life of a teacher but cooking meth, breaking the law, deceiving and abusing. And that was Jesse's character: Immature and manipulated. I don't think the number of the seasons was too much, it was about right. Remember how many things happened in the series, how these two took an "upgrade" in the meth bussiness, how Walter became the king of the cartels, how many people had to die for this to happen, how many times his wife threatened she would leave or go to the police until finally she helped him in this. I mean, that's how most of the tv series go. There's a story arc and many smaller or bigger things happen around it. Nothing unusual. |

Yeah BITCH! That teaser has me hyped now! I trust Vince Gilligan to bring it strong with this one. Jesse Pinkman is such an awesome tv character (probably one of my all time favorites) so I am definitely looking forward to this one.

I find the freedom of having a TV show's length is hampered by the fact that you have a TV show's length. I have yet to find a show that lasts for more than a couple of seasons that is actually the better for continuing on. There can be a peak in the middle: Season 4 (I think) of BB, seasons 4-5 of Red Dwarf, etc. But you always go on a downward slope because the show just... keeps... going. Any sort of continuous story is damaged by the unlimited serial format (Dickens had the same problems with his serialized novels). Limited series are cool, but unlimited always winds up damaging itself by the end. I'm still missing classics like The Sopranos and The Wire, mind you. Maybe they manage to do better than "keep it together," which is where BB ended up: still working, still serviceable, but feeling anticlimactic because all the good stuff happened in the second act. |

If these tv shows keep being entertaining, then so what if they have more seasons? That's the thing with BB I believe: It was very enjoyable till the end. Imo, seasons 3, 4 and the last half (5b or 6 or you name it) were the best in the entire series. It peaked with the Gus Fring plot and also Ozymandias and Felina were terrific episodes. |

Okay ... everything that the BB/BCS team has done so far has been extraordinary work, but let’s be real, that does not warrant them being as full of themselves as Marvel. The marketing on this thing has been ridiculous, and I still can’t believe that this movie is good until I see it for myself. Yes, I’m sure it will be good, great even, but I still can’t picture how...
