Better Call Saul Season 4 Premier

[Michchamp]

Monday, August 6 at 9 PM central on AMC.

We've watched the first 3 seasons... this is the first time we'll be watching an episode live, of either Better Call Saul, or Breaking Bad. previously watched them all on netflix.

This is also like the first time since the Colbert Report was on that I'm going to watch a non-sporting event live, with everyone else. I feel like a real regular American.

I'm going to watch.

I haven't taken my dogs to the park early in the morning for a couple years, so I haven't seen Bob in that time.

I think he should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his role in the movie that came out last year about the Washington Post breaking the story of the Pentagon Papers.

 

[Gulo Blue]

I have too many shows to watch now, but I'll try to keep up with this too.

 

[JScottWriter]

Excited for this show to come back, seems like it has been gone for a while.

I watched this weeks episode last night. The Gus storyline is getting really good. Saul's storyline is kind of boring.

Yeah the storylines kinda ebb and flow. although, they complement eachother in a way. if it was all cut throat cartel stuff, I think it would get old.

Almost Everyone has taken a turn for the worse in a way this season. I feel bad for Nacho. he's the only sympathetic character right now, and the only one trying to step back.

you can see everyone else making the choices that eventually lead to their downfall.

The way Jimmy dealt with Chuck revealed a more callous and meaner person inside than we had seen before.

I haven't seen anything from this season yet, but it's tough to come down too hard on Jimmy for what he did to Chuck last season given what Chuck did to Jimmy for years and years...

The series so far has been great - the biggest weakness to me is that Jonathan Banks has gotten too old for the part. At 71, he's 10 years older than he was in his first season of Breaking Bad and his age is really showing.

without giving anything about season 4 away, at the end of season 3, they started to allude to the fact that for all his accomplishments and intelligence, Chuck was still mentally ill.

and even though Jimmy might've had a valid grudge against Chuck, in the end it wasn't a fair fight.

Yeah, I agree on Jonathan Banks... it's a little unbelievable that a guy who looks that old could be so physically tough. But he plays the character well, so I kinda overlook it.

 

[Michchamp]

I always like the scenes with Don Eladio in Mexico... there aren't enough of those.

I hear you and I'm not saying what Jimmy did wasn't bad or even justified, I'm just saying that everyone has their boiling point - Jimmy defended and took care of Chuck for years and if I recall correctly, Chuck had been screwing Jimmy over since long before he was mentally ill and it seems clear it would have continued had Chuck not developed his condition. That's a tough pill to swallow.

I remember a flashback scene to when they were kids in Chicago, I think they were working in their dad?s corner grocery or something, Chuck screwed up and he blamed it on Jimmy.

I think they had shown flashbacks to events like that that occurred over the years.

Wasn?t there one episode when Chuck just came out and admitted ?it?s just that I don?t really like you very much.? - Or something like that?

working from home in a Sergio Tacchini track suit, tequila and tacos by the pool for lunch is my goal - but without all the murder and drug dealing.

all of that sounds familiar. as the youngest of 3 boys, I can attest that kind of shit happens - for years I was constantly getting framed or beat up until I was bigger than both of them.

 

[tomdalton22]

pretty disappointed that there were only 10 episodes this season.

The drug enterprise storyline is great...Saul's storyline is kind of boring.

Mine was different - 4 older brothers they played mental games. Esp. the 2 directly above me. I remember trying to Watch the Tigers - a rare occurrence back then and they would turn the game off and stand in front of the TV so I couldn't turn it back on.. I was 8-10 and I'd freak out, cry like a baby. It was always when my parents were gone. They were 4-5 years older.. Probably why I was closer to my older brothers.

 

[Michchamp]

I was the oldest and biggest in not only my immediate family but also among all my cousins.

Let me tell you: picking on smaller siblings is a heckuva lot of fun.

If you never had the privilege, you really missed out.

Now stop hitting yourself!

Season one. Was good . I stopped watching halfway through season two sadly.
