Better call Saul!!
According to the article, it's a prequel series. Of course, then you can say that maybe it's a prequel because Saul dies or gets disbarred or goes to jail. My guess is that they're doing a prequel simply so they can tell more comedic stories with Saul as the typical ambulance chasing lawyer rather than him dealing with being known as Heisenberg's lawyer.SamT said:Well that Saul spinoff is a spoiler. We now know he survives!
Was reading the Wikipedia ricin page (!!!!!!!) and it seems ricin can't kill you that easily. Mythbusters also showed that they didn't get some other stuff correctly but hey it's a fantasy, it's ok.Greg_S_H said:I guess Walt could suicide by ricin, but it ain't a great way to go. Two to four days of bloody vomit and diarrhea, ending in organ failure? I think I'd as soon eat a bullet.
Imagine doing Saul's dirty work in side missions. Speaking of, I'm kind of amazed they didn't have Odenkirk actually doing voice work for GTA V. I could even see Gilligan signing off on letting them use the Saul character directly.Scott Hanson said:Don't forget about A Day in the Life of Wendy.
I'm almost glad that The Killing was cancelled because I think it's nearly impossible for that show to be any better than it was this season.Scott Hanson said:The Killing was great as well. Not sure why it never caught on but I guess people need an immediate fix.
True (at least on the second part). Not sure if you're watching 'The Bridge', but I find it a good 'Killing' replacement. Like 'The Killing', it's also based on a Danish series.TravisR said:I'm almost glad that The Killing was cancelled because I think it's nearly impossible for that show to be any better than it was this season.
I think the majority of people are going to be happy with the conclusion as long as there is a definitive ending for the characters. A good chunk of people fucking hate ambiguity (The Sopranos) & semi-spirituality (Battlestar Galactica or Lost) but I think it's safe to assume that Breaking Bad will have a pretty conclusive finish and that will satisfy the majority. The Shield and The Wire did that and I think that's one reason why those finales are quite well regarded.Simon Massey said:Just hoping for a satisfactory conclusion now!!
I missed that callback too. I gotta hand it to the writers for keeping one line of dialogue from a two year old episode alive.joshEH said:I finally got around to the podcast, and they pointed out a callback that I completely missed, and feel bad that I missed it: Hank got in his little "Popeye Doyle-wave" to Heisenberg in the back of the car. I bet THAT felt better than the Mirandizing or the handcuffs.
I'm conflicted about the promos. I really want to see what happens next but at the same time, I don't want to spoil the upcoming episode so I don't really concentrate too much on them. From the ones I've seen, it seems like they have lines of dialogue playing over very rapidly cut together footage. Maybe if someone went through and freeze framed it, they could make some guesses.Greg_S_H said:Has AMC been showing the standard "next on" promo clips? I don't watch them, but I haven't seen them when FF during other AMC shows. It seems like that would be a good approach for these momentous final episodes, especially since the show doesn't really need the hype right now.
