Better Call Saul

[CaptainWacky]

(Bob Odenkirk had a heart issue and collapsed on set, I was concerned and posted about it yesterday, there was a server problem today and all of yesterday's posts were lost.)

Anyway, seems like he's going to be okay.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

i tried to post that tweet itt earlier today...

 

[CaptainWacky]

It is a cultural touchstone of our times.

FINAL SEASON

 

[CaptainWacky]

Betsy Kettleman is hot.

 

[MODMAN]

Betsy Kettleman is hot.

Haha ... she caught my eye as well. Very curvaceous little package!

I loved the look Hector gave Gus. Not the face of a man deep in mourning, but a look of assuredness. The scene afterwards with Gus knocking over the glass underscored how Hector rattled him.

Fuck this series is good. Yo Picard writers - if you want a deep, contemplative and gripping character study, give Gilligan and Gould a call and see if they'll toss you some pointers.

 

[MODMAN]

Why helloooo ...

 

[CaptainWacky]

^That would be deleted on TrekBBS.

 

[MODMAN]

For objectifying women? Most certainly. Can't have that.

RIP Babe of the Week threads - woke gets in an early blow at TrekBBS.

But thank you for pointing out her hotness; I never would've laid eyes on this pic otherwise!

 

[CaptainWacky]

BUT THAT PIC OF KIRK WITH THE PENIS ROCK IS FINE. #doublestandards

 

[CaptainWacky]

Nach-nooooo.

 

[MODMAN]

Damn.

Heh - fuck you Hector. I also enjoyed him making Gus sweat, albeit briefly.

Props to Huell for asking some very reasonable questions of our dubious duo.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Huell fucking rules and I suspect that this is the last time we'll ever see him.

It's interesting that everyone in that scene with Nacho, even secretly watchig Mike, ends up dead by the end of Breaking Bad. Like Nacho cursed them.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Jimmy as Howard was hilariious.

 

[CaptainWacky]

FUCK.

 

[MODMAN]

FUCK.

Watching their plan come together was delicious.

But yeah - FUCK. Howard could be a prick but didn't deserve that. Talk about wrong place, wrong time.

I liked how he reasonably listed every grievance they might have with him and asked how any of it could justify such a vicious attack? But as he said, it didn't matter. He'd bounced back from worse. But them? They would be the architects of their own destruction. And then ... candle flick.

Thing I love about this show is the slow burn episodes are still entertaining, engaging and incredibly well-written. But you know the pay off is coming and when it does, it'll knock it out of the park.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Well that was some shit. The good kind. I think?

 

[CaptainWacky]

It was like the plane crash from Breaking Bad, but with a bullet and Howard's head hitting each other instead of two planes.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The final episodes have begun. And another main castmember is dead!

 

[MODMAN]

Christ that was tense.

So Howard was in Breaking Bad the whole time, from a certain point of view.

Maybe the fly was Howard's ghost.

But seriously, I think we might be getting some extended screen time with Gene given his conspicuous absence in the season opener; also, things have more or less been wrapped up on the cartel front & ready for Breaking Bad to take over the narrative.

But more importantly and perhaps more likely, is this the beginning of the end of Jimmy and Kim? No going back to normal. . . ?
