Media Center>Better Call Saul
rico 11:01 PM 10-06-2013


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!!!!

That's gonna be so hard to watch. There are so few redeeming characters in the breaking bad / bcs universe. If they kill her off, that one's gonna really sting.

I’m worried about Nacho, and Lalo in a weird way, too.

Lalo is my favorite Salamanca and I don’t think there’s a close second.

Yeah I have a hard time thinking they are going to do it, i hope that she just bounces and lives in hiding or something once Saul gets in too much trouble. If she dies that'll be rough for sure!

Or, on the other side of the coin, she appears in the Cinnabon world having left everything to stay with Jimmy.

That'd be awesome, and hopefully they'd get a happy ending together.

Kim is her own worst enemy. If she doesn’t make it to Nebraska it’s because she fucked up.

Kim is the strongest WW parallel in the story for me so far.

Lalo is definitely dead by the end of BCS. That was already determined in Breaking Bad.

Unless he fakes his own death and gives Gus a reason to think that Hector was the last Salamanca.

Yeah, there's some debate (small hope) because Saul was convinced Lalo was alive in S2 of BB's timeline, but obviously he's hearing things second hand compared to Gus.

She has to be dead or well hidden because she didnt exist in Breaking Bad.
