Better Call Saul

[Jman]

Bob Odenkirk is back for season 3 of the prequel/sequel to Breaking Bad.  And Chuck is still an asshole.

[1pooh4u]

I fuckin' hate Chuck

[naraku360]

Chuck's the worst.

[Jman]

Chuck's plan came to fruition and cemented his complete assholishness.

 

Also Gus is back, but seems to lay low for now.

[naraku360]

Better Call Saul wrinting room:

Writers: Okay, Vince. We did it. Chuck is the worst.

Vince: Great! I can't see him getting worse! He's truly the worst possible.

Writers: Now what?

Vince: Make Chuck worse.

[Raptorpat]

I finally just caught the first two episodes of the season.

 

It is great to be back, the only reason I have for being able to put off watching for a week and a half is that I forgot how good the show is.

[Jman]

It's amazing how much worse Chuck seems to get with each episode.

[naraku360]

It's amazing how much worse Chuck seems to get with each episode.

I get the feeling Jimmy was at least partially responsible for Chuck's wife leaving. It's the only thing I can think of that would make Chuck this awful. At least it would be something to make him potentially relatable again. Not that what we got was enough to justify his hatred of Jimmy, but it was enough to understand where he's coming from. Now he's really just punishing Jimmy for fucking him over once after he fucked Jimmy over for years.

 

It feels like there has to be more to it than what we've been shown. Or at least I hope it is.

It's gonna be a Joffrey moment of celebration whenever he dies.

 

(I'm assuming that's what happens).

[naraku360]

Just when you thought Chuck didn't really have enough screentime to get worse he finds a way to prove you wrong.

[Jman]

It's gonna be a Joffrey moment of celebration whenever he dies.

 

(I'm assuming that's what happens).

 

I think that's why the perspective keeps flipping between Mike and Jimmy.  The cartel is gonna cross over and Chuck is gonna get it.  And it will be glorious.

[Mewn]

Chuck's the worst.

 

This ^

 

Fuck Chuck.

I hope he goes into another technology shock.

[1pooh4u]

I'm wondering if this is where James McGil starts practicing as Saul Goodman.

Will it become a result of this intervention. A compromise of sorts.

I'm thinking either Chuck wins and Saul becomes a replacement identity or Jimmy wins but gets publicly tarnished in the process and has to reinvent himself.

 

Essentially thinking the same thing as you. Especially since Chuck wants Jimmy disbarred.

Jimmy won't be able to do what needs to be done, paint his brother as mentally incompetent and the confession was false to appease his brother's  fragile state of mind.

 

[naraku360]

This episode.  >

[Mewn]

Chuck played right into Jimmy's hand.  >

[Jman]

Chuck's breakdown was a thing of beauty.

[1pooh4u]

I was really surprised that jimmy was able to do that to chuck but I agree, it was glorious

[Raptorpat]

Like, what would I even do if I was on the panel

[1pooh4u]

Like, what would I even do if I was on the panel

Me, I would work under the premise that Chuck is mentally unstable and wants to ruin Jimmy and slap Jimmy on the wrist.

I think Saul Goodman is going to be born from this. Maybe Jimmy himself will decide to not use his name on his own as an apology to Chuck

[MasqueradeOverture]

^ I mean the next episode preview has him say the words "Saul Goodman."

[1pooh4u]

He said that in episode 1 season 1 too so we know it's a play on the phrase It's all good man and that snippet gives no indication as to the hows and whys. Something naraku360[/member] and I were supposing prior to that preview and I'm pretty sure it was Kim repeating the name. Not Jimmy

Oh right that was Kim.

 

Forgot about him saying that. Come to think about it that's pretty hilarious; he would make a pun of a name.

[MasqueradeOverture]

And so...Saul Goodman is born.

 

As well as the laundromat lab.

[Raptorpat]

And Hector's comeuppance via stroke

I didn't see that coming at all, I was so sure Chuck was going to make him change his name. ::spin::

Nacho's puttin poison in that son of a bitch.  Don Hector's an asshole

[naraku360]

Yeah, he's up to something with the pill. Just watch it go the way of ricin.

[Raptorpat]

I typed up a reply this morning I don't know what happened to it.

 

He obviously hid the pill under his foot so Hector wouldn't see it. My assumption is that Hector misses his meds and then has a stroke.

Eh.

 

One pill seems like a stretch to get to that assessment. Maybe put something in the pill he dropped.

[Raptorpat]

If he strokes from not taking medicine I win and if he strokes from taking spiked medicine you win.

 

I dunno what the prize will be though.

[MasqueradeOverture]

I originally thought he'd stroke due to a gunshot wound Mike would give him, but I'm assuming that time has passed.

I thought the stroke happened by chance but now, this is getting good

 

I can't believe how much I love this show but there can't be many seasons left

[MasqueradeOverture]

They're in 2003 right now. Breaking Bad doesn't start until 2008.

 

Unless there's a time skip, this show could last twice as long as BB.

The show is still in 2003?  It's hard to tell the passing of time, we at least know that when Jimmy can practice law again a year will have passed

[EyeOfPain]

Oh man, Slippin' Jimmy might have just struck again. I don't like that we need to wait 2 weeks to see the fallout from that move, but it's sure to be good.

[Raptorpat]

Ok so the plotline is trending towards stroking from having his pills swapped with empties, so is that like both of us winning?

[Mohri]

Sadly, I haven't even watched all of season two yet. I just have not got around to it for some reason, and I even love the show. Is the second season on Netflix or something by anychance?

[Raptorpat]

I think season two is on Netflix by now. I think it's roughly a year lag from air date to Netflix.

[Jman]

Second season is on Netflix.

 

AMC has first run for Season 3 in the states.

I know what I am going to be doing for the next few days.

He wanted them before sealing, and Mike suggested that he switch them back in case Hector "drops" after taking the pill. I think they're pretty strongly implying poison.

Called it. ::spin::

[1pooh4u]

Even better, he filled the caps with ibuprofen so they won't do anything that will help him.

[naraku360]

I didn't see what he filled it with, so I was thinking poison of some sort. I guess that's meddling with dosage timing if it's not something that hurts him directly.

 

I was thinking his method is iffy. How can he swap them back if he poured so many in (on top of the real stuff)? Ibeprofen makes a bit more sense than what I was thinking as far as what he did, compared to what I thought he was doing.

I was wondering why he didn't toss one poison pill, presumably something strong enough to kill  an old guy with a single pill, and play the waiting game. Namely so Hector would eat the evidence and die from it.

He made a totally different bottle of pills, I have no idea how he's going to get the real ones back in Hector's pocket after he strokes out. ::spin::

 

[naraku360]

Yeah, but he only pulled half the bottle out to swap with a bunch of fakes, right? It's like he's not even planning to take them back.

 

I think the ibeprofen piece makes a little more sense in the way of it not killing him right away and probably having to take more doses before really showing the full effect of the fakes.

 

Just I don't see how to make it work when he mixed a bunch of both. Like, 1-2 poisons or a full bottle of ibeprofen seem like better ideas. Unless I saw incorrectly, his method either doesn't care about returning the real stuff or I have no idea what he's planning.

 

Did I completely misunderstand? I thought he took out real meds and replaced them with fakes, but didn't do the whole bottle.

Ah, I see. I thought this medication worked right away. Yeah. I'm totally confused by Nacho's plan >

[naraku360]

They do act fast, but I don't know if having one of Hector's episodes will be guarenteed to result in a stroke if unmedicated.

 

I'd have to rewatch the scene, but I remember seeing pills still in the bottom of the bottle before he starts dropping anything in. If he replaces everything it would make sense. If not, I don't know what the plan is.
