Oct 2, 2018 Crazy episode directed by Gilligan. Jimmy getting denied was big, but Werner breaking out is huge. He's definitely going to die when they find him, they might k--- them all at this point and have to get a new crew to finish. I don't see how they get a new foreman and these guys finish the job and go back to Germany acting like they don't know where he is. First time the lab stuff really took over the Gus/Nacho story line.
Oct 4, 2018 agreed. i didnt realize gilligan took a step back this season. so i guess he does one offs like this still, probably knows where the show is going creatively.... but still a little bummed he isnt the flat out puppet master lik bb werner had a truman show/shawshank moment tbh (edit..... im assuming this leads to the eventual moment where mikes daughter in law swears him off.)
Oct 6, 2018 I didn't know that Lalo/Eduardo was mentioned by Saul in Breaking Bad when he was kidnapped in the desert by Walt and Jesse (I knew Nacho was). "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio"... "Wait... Lalo didn't send you?"
Oct 6, 2018 I am Waiting for season to end in order to watch the whole season so without giving any spoilers, could you guys tell me if walter or jessie in the show this season?
Oct 6, 2018 Why would they enter the show? I heard people talking about them in season 2 lol. This show is about Jimmy. We know what happens after Walt and Jesse show up. It’s not a mystery.
Oct 8, 2018 Great finale. I've been thinking about this for the past 2 seasons, but this show isn't just about Jimmy's transformation, but Mike's as well. Mike goes from getting the s--- kicked out of him just to keep Tuco alive, to a stone-cold hitman. The Breaking Bad season 3 finale has Mike executing a bunch of cartel members. Watching him fill that role more and more is so entertaining.
Oct 9, 2018 "It's all good, man" Loved how they handled that last scene, I really believed Jimmy was sincere d--- ahah, Mike evolution is great too
Oct 9, 2018 Mike didn't choose a half measure there. Was thinking they might throw another BB character, but the episode was perfect as is. Next seasons gonna be crazy
Oct 13, 2018 Gus was never supposed to be a villian?? Giancarlo Esposito is the actor 99% of people reading this recognise as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. A role that only ended up being as big a part of the show as it did because Esposito hustled like an absolute pro. You see, when Esposito was offered the role of Fring he was only really given one piece of information about the character. He’s a very nice man who sells chicken. The character wasn’t a villain and the producers never intended for him to be in more than one episode. Which got Esposito thinking, what if I played him like a villain anyway? His reasoning being that if he acted as though Gus Fring had a secret or ulterior motive, the audience would pick up on it, assume his character was part of a broader, overarching plot and boom, he’d get hired to do another episode. Esposito’s gambit paid off and fans and critics were enamoured with his performance, in particular complimenting the calmness he displayed while delivering lines. This as it turns out was completely deliberate as Esposito had taken yoga lessons to learn to slow his breathing prior to filming. Why? Well he wanted to portray Gus Fring as a man who was always listening intently and was keenly aware of his surroundings at all times. This he felt, would help sell that Mr Fring wasn’t just the humble chicken shop owner he appeared to be and it f---ing worked. The steely facade he projected while portraying Fring fascinated fans who wanted to know more about this mysterious yellow-shirted man. The producers, who were similarly impressed with Esposito’s performance, agreed and invited him back for a guest appearance in the final episode of Season 2. Esposito happily agreed to come back, again portrayed the character with a quiet menace about him and once again got fans all worked up about who the f--- this dipshit selling chicken actually was. After hearing from director Vince Gilligan that they may want to bring Gus back in the next season, Esposito decided it was time to enact his master plan and secure himself a spot as a regular cast member. After portraying the character in such a way that fans were fascinated by him, Esposito basically held all the cards when the time came to negotiate any appearances he’d make in Season 3. So when the producers approached him and offered a one off guest spot Esposito felt perfectly comfortable being all like, “Nah, I’m good.” This left the producers in a tight spot because they’d kind of hinted that Gustavo Fring was into some heavy s--- and fans wanted to know what the it was. So, they came back and instead offered Esposito 7 guests spots and he once again turned them down. By this point the producers were getting kind of desperate and asked Esposito what it’d take to bring him back because the world needed more Gus God-d--- Fring. Which is when Esposito revealed his hand and explained he’d happily come back and do as many episodes as they wanted, as a series regular. Realising this was the only way to get Esposito on board, the producers relented and made Esposito a member of the principle cast and overhauled the character of Gustavo Fring to make him a larger part of the overall story. And that is how Giancarolo Esposito hustled his way into our hearts and in the process, became one of the most magnetic and intriguing villains in modern television history.
Oct 17, 2018 You know, I like Better Call Saul – a lot. I think it’s well written, tightly knit, television. I can’t help but feel that this season was the least intrigued I’ve ever been by it. To put it into perspective, season 4 of BrBa gave us Crawl Space and Face Off. I know they’re trying to do something different, and they’re succeeding, but I haven’t felt the pure, childlike excitement for the next BCS episode like I did with Breaking Bad.
Oct 17, 2018 Was a few weeks behind and just binged watched 5 episodes. Went to look for the next one that would have been on Monday and nothing was there. Didn’t even realize the finale was the finale
Oct 17, 2018 Same. Although I'm not sure Vince & Co. could've realistically written crazy s--- that would still make sense in the BB story universe. Could've pushed the Gus / Hector storyline a lot more. The whole pill thing was kinda boring, but Gus keeping him paralyzed is more evil than anything. Hoping we pick up with Gene in the future for an entire season.
