Anyone excited for this season to kick off? I can't wait.

Sure, after the slow start in season one it was nice to see Saul starting to come out in season 2. I have a good feeling about this season...
Love the show as much as I loved Breaking Bad, but I have to say that I actually fell asleep during last night's season opener, it was sooooo slowwwww. Hope Vince Gilligan picks up the pace a bit in e02.
Thats fuuny. I always get a good laugh during the morning radio shows prank calls. Carmen is the best

Falling asleep too, only thing I remember is annoying song while he was at cinnabon.
Well made TV shows, like movies, are never too slow. Likewise bad ones are never too fast.
Relax. Enjoy the characters and the slow burn.
I think there starting this season of excellent. I to enjoy a balance of slow burn and adrenaline. I can't wait till next Monday!

Can't go wrong with Gus Fring, and I think I saw those fascinatingly murderous brothers in the commercial too.

Quoted from o-din:Saul Rosenberg?
lol I was a huge Jerky Boys fan back in the day !
I like the fact it moves so slow. That way when something half way cool happens it really pops.
Anyone remember the breaking bad episode that had Walter trying to kill a fly in the lab. It was the entire episode. Talk about slow.

Ok, thanks to my sheltered tight wad living (no Netflix only plain old tv for me, not even a flat screen in the bedroom, yes I have colour lol) and thanks to "Little Guy Video" rental in my town, I have just watched the entire Season 1 of Better Call Saul for $5 on 3 DVDs. Thank you fellow pinsiders I am hooked! But, here is my dilemma .......... The kid at the video store doesn't know when they will receive the next season 
At least I can play pinball while I wait.

You mean "Fly?" 
The slow pace coupled with fantastic acting makes this series incredible.
Watching Jimmy slowly turn into Saul is heartbreaking, in the best way possible.

Yes! Perfect mix of heavy dialog, great acting, and enough action.
Knowing how it ultimately ends up adds a weird twist to it, it makes you pay more attention for the clues as it comes together.
I loved Breaking Bad and purposely have waited and not watched Saul yet. I'm looking forward to powering through the episodes soon. I take it that it's a good show?
Quoted from dragdaily12:I hate waiting a week to see what will happen. Dam you suspenseful writers!
I record the entire season and then binge watch it. I hate having to wait for the next episode and this way I can binge watch the entire season without having to wait.
Quoted from Leakyfaucet:Good episode last night. Chuck is a dick.
I haven't watched any of this season's episodes yet, but based upon the first two seasons Chuck is definitely a major dick.

Quoted from Fairground:Hi everyone is series 4 airing soon? Or am I just in a state of wishful thinking?
New season started already. I think they are 3-4 episodes into the new season.
We never made it over to this show for some reason, after loving Breakig Bad. Did it start out more like a comedy/sitcom and then morph darker and darker over time?? That’s the impression I keep getting

It's ok not great. If you think of getting a bit more BB settings and characters it's fine but it's not great. I'll watch it but it's not BB good.
Here's my opinion on the quality of BCS. Is it better than BB? Hell no! Is it the best show on TV right now? Hell yes!

That’s the impression I got - we are waiting for all the horror shows to start so I was looking st this one again

Just binge it man, binge it.
I will hint to my daughter and she will buy the dvd for me so I can binge the old way cause I have limited internet lol
Quoted from SteveO:I like BCS but wish they had it start where Breaking Bad ended
After BB ended, didn't Saul go into hiding also? Wouldn't make much sense to start there IMO. We're seeing how Jimmy turns into Saul.
Quoted from SteveO:I like BCS but wish they had it start where Breaking Bad ended.
But then you'd never know the story about how Jimmy McGill became Sal Goodman.
**I just wish they'd speed things up a bit. But when dead bodies start piling up like they are this season, you know it's getting serious, lol
I had high hopes for BCS after enjoying his Saul Goodman character in BB (best TV show ever) but lost interest after watching part of the first season. I think he just needs the right role/character for his career to take off and he has that potential.
I think he'd be perfect as a character in "Shameless" with Frank Gallagher. Imagine them going into the shady "lawyer" business together and chasing ambulances. 
Damn and I thought this was an announcement for a better call saul pinball machine!!!! Lol.
I was eagerly waiting for the new season to begin but then forgot all about it, and not until I saw this thread did I realize season 4 began. I actually feel the writing is even better than breaking bad, which might make sense since the Gilligan and company are even more seasoned having created BB.
Incidentally I took a writing seminar where they analyzed Walter White's character as perhaps the most complex of any character that's been created (supplanting Tony sopranos complexity)

I highly recommend that you give BCS another view. It is a fantastic story told by master storytellers.
The show is definitely living up to, and in my opinion, surpassing its potential.

Tonight's episode has a pinball machine prominently featured in it. It's a Getaway but they replaced all the sounds with EM chimes and bells.
Quoted from docquest:Tonight's episode has a pinball machine prominently featured in it. It's a Getaway but they replaced all the sounds with EM chimes and bells.
I saw that,I wonder why they feel pinball machines need to sound like em's
This and Mr Mercedes on directv 239 are my favorites.
Quoted from romulusx:I saw that,I wonder why they feel pinball machines need to sound like em's
Part of it might have to due with rights issues if the game has music or voices.
Another part might be thats what a majority of people expect pinballs to sound like.
Also in many instances where pinball is in a scene it's just for background ambiance. If it had music or voice callouts being played it might distract from the main action more than simple bells and chimes would.
Even though the sound is wrong, I'm just glad pinball still shows up in mainstream media every now and then.
