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.
You'd think, in this particular case, they'd have more urgency. Everyone on the show is supposed to be younger than they were on a show that started in 2008. Some are starting to look rough. [Reply]

A couple of actors could die (or I might) before we see another episode. [Reply]
[QUOTE=Baby Lee;13174218]Not sure how I came across this tidbit, but it stuck with me.
Edward Herman [in just about everything, but most famous as the Gilmore Girls patriarch], died suddenly a couple years back. I have no ****ing idea who this guy is, or why you posted this. I never, ever watched the Gilmore Girls, no less know or care who the ****ing Edward Herman was.
I am sure you are a big fan and romurs have it that this hangs on your bedroom wall.:-):-):-) Maybe you should keep that like: Private? (no response needed. really, don't do it.)
You really should have tried to compose this a little better. I doubt I could ever understand it, no less explain it to others, but here goes....

One of his later roles was in the worst ****ing movie ever made. it was delayed for some ****ing reason, that I will not tell you (not like you would ****ing care. (even if he did die while they were making it, which he didn't)
They finally released the shit storm of a movie, (it was the last movie he ever appeared in.) Born To Be A Star was quickly forgotten about thanks to another shit storm of a movie (Jack and Jill) that saved it from winning it's 6 Razzy (and a Golden Razzy) nominations. It was pulled from theaters within 2 weeks with only $2.5M in box office receipts against the$9M production cost. Rotten Tomatoes score of 0, yes ZERO:-):-):-):-)
Bucky Larson[ Was actually titled Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star, A movie about Bucky discovering his parents had been PORN STARS back in the '70s. Edward played his bporn star father.
For those who need to understand why I derailed a Better Call Saul thread on a football board, it was because of the films credits. See attachment./QUOTE]
There goes 15 minutes of my life I will never get back.

Pissy litte bitch arncha?
Derailing a Better Call Saul thread? In case you missed it;
YOU brought up actors dying
The fucking show isn't coming back for a fucking YEAR.
How will we ever get back on track in time?!?!?
I 'derailed' with a couple of lines of text, so you spazz out with a full splash page? DGAF about Hermann? Fine. Ignore the post and move the fuck on.
Aren't you due on set for The Chocolate Ghost Pepper Headline News Hour? [Reply]

The actors on BCS, duh! Not some guy from Gilmore Girls, who played a porn star in a movie from 2012, that you mentioned died 3 years ago.
The ****ing show isn't coming back for a ****ing YEAR.

I was referring to the show (BCS) but thanks for giving me a movie night idea for when I babysit the grandkids.:-):-):-):-)

It started to flow plus the pictures were kinda large unlike Bucky.
DGAF about Hermann? Fine. Ignore the post and move the **** on
And miss the the experience of learning who Edward whatever the **** his name is? I need subject matter that my grand kids can relate to. Plus, It was directed by Tom Brady
Aren't you due on set for The Chocolate Ghost Pepper Headline News Hour?
I actually rubbed some ribs tonight with smashed ghost peppers followed by
mustard and dry rub seasoning. I hope that with a sweet sauce and a malty IPA that they are edible, If not, I am smoking a "spare" rack.
Now back to you Lee in the "Talking Bucky: Born to be a Star Show" studio.
I dont remember Bryan or Aaron saying that, every time I heard about them and Better Call Saul they always said they might make an appearance.Really pumped, might have to re-watch the show again before 2015 comes. [Reply]
