Better Call Saul

I'm fascinated with Michael McKeon's character. A literal tinfoil hat wearer. I wonder what confluence of events made him that way.
 
Have seen the first 3 episodes. Going along nicely. I'm glad they haven't saturated it with characters from BB.
 
And the electromagnetism exposure nearly ****** him crossing the street and back. That was intense.

Had to have been all in his head.

About fifteen minutes in when Betsy Kettleman told Jimmy, "you're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire", you could see the defeat on his face, definitely a defining moment.

I was being facetious.

Yep, a seminal moment in Jimmy's path. I think up until that point he was trying to be straight and narrow. But fuck it, take the cash.

Maybe it's been awhile, but I'm actually enjoying this show more than Breaking Bad.

I was facetiously agreeing with you.

I didn't think I would like anything better than Breaking Bad, but I have to agree, and I think you're on point with him trying to play it straight up to that point, it was like he was thinking, what's the fucking point? I can't wait for the next episode.

I agree, when he decided to take the bribe, I was a bit surprised that he didn't shake them down for more than they offered - he easily could have in that situation. I think that shows that while his moral compass may not be pointing true north, he isn't a bad guy. Very likeable character so far.
 
Lots of angles going at the same time, truly great television. So Mike Ehrmantraut's back story is under the microscope in the next episode, BrBa fans should be going nuts. And holy hell was that one hot doctor(Clea DuVall) or what?
 
This Mike-centric episode solidifies my belief that this is the best new show of any network. And Mike Ermantraut is the best supporting character, EVER.

Best episode so far, damn this show just keeps getting better. The scene where Mike tells his ********-in-law how he broke his ***, Jonathan Banks deserves an Emmy for that ****.

^that and ^that.

A great episode even by this show's standards and excellent performance by Jonathan Banks. I'm glad they're delving into his past.
That look that Jimmy gives Mike in the interrogation room, yeah, he's not just some old fogie in a ticket booth.
 
Got it downloaded and current. Will watch it soon. :clap:
 
Later on, after Saul moves into the strip mall location we see in Breaking Bad, I'm curious why he didn't set up shop in that sweet suite with the corner office he was showing off to Kim. Still cheering, this show is awesome!

I know, I am curious to see what happens to make him end up there. This show is much better than I had hoped, coming from a die hard BB fan
