I wasn't happy w/WD last night either. BCS should be good tonight. Last night seemed to just be laying the groundwork, the beginning was depressing. Fucking Cinnabon, Saul's better than that
Looking forward to the crapfest of Celebrity Apprentice, we'll get down to the final two tonight. It's Leeza's to lose, but I wouldn't put it past Trump to put Viveca in the finale and bring back Kenya to "help" her out in the final challenge.
I finally watched Chef on Netflix yesterday. Such a sweet and funny movie.
Why is downton so boring this season? At least Edith is being crazy. I mean they even tried to spice it up making mary the harlot even more of a harlot and I'm still so bored. Ugh.
I agree with you KR. Just not as rabid for it as the previous seasons. That's how it typically happens though. Or maybe that long wait dampened my previous enthusiasm.
***BCS/BrBa SPOILERS*** It was like a reunion with my best imaginary friends! Odenkirk’s lines and delivery are flawless. I adored the Easter egg throw backs to BrBa, like the two broken windshields and Saul’s trashbin assault (parallel to Walt bashing in the paper towel dispenser).
*As Saul predicted in Granite State, he is in fact managing an Omaha Cinnabon as "Gene," who is always looking over his shoulder and keeps a VHS tape of his former life. (Not a good idea!) *Knucklehead quasi-honors students going bananas to describe kids fucking a decapitated head at a funeral home. Classic. *Great how you're tricked to think Jimmy drives the white Cady (Saul's BrBa car) as he actually gets in his yellow hoopty "Esteem" (lolz) *Miiiiike Ehrmantraut, world's best grandpa (and parking lot attendant)! *"The only way that car is worth 500 bucks is if there's a $300 hooker sitting in it...Now let's talk about what you owe me for the windshield!" *Saul always loved them nail salons and massage places, now we're getting to the root of that story!!! *"Money is not beside the point...money IS the point!!" Just like Walt, Saul is crumbling over inabilities to earn what one is "worth" *Nice to see Saul actually once cared about someone else (his ailing brother Chuck). He could've used that $26k check he tore up. *What does Saul want from the lady smoking out front? I'm guessing a job? Help for Chuck? Is that "Kim," his friend who Chuck said would lose her job if his firm folds? *Cheers, "Slippin Jimmy!" (FUN FACT: This monologue in the skate park was the first scene shot for BCS) *"Slippin" in today's vernacular refers to when someone encroaches (often on their own) onto rival gang territory. That also fits Saul well, huh? *"I'm #1 in your speed dial right next to your weed dealer..." *Clearly, we saw Mr Chips turn to Scarface in BrBa, and I have a feeling we will now see how desperate bumbling Bowfinger-esque Jimmy transformed himself into the smooth talking CRIMINAL lawyer that we all love. *Those dumb fucks did not sufficiently burn the Sable into their memory! Then they didn't stay put and wait for Saul and instead demanded money. Instant karma. Abuelita don't give a fuck about no sense of responsibility!!! "Mijo" (Tuco) will bring a world of pain tonight.
*Moral of the Episode: You better sign Saul's retainer papers or he will send skater goons through your windshield for extortion. That's what you get for going to Hamlin & Hamlin for representation! Poor Betsy, I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Mr and Mrs County Treasurer.
***Like BrBa, Saul's emergence into the criminal underworld is motivated by the desperation of losses due to illness (Chuck). Can't let Hamlin & Hamlin Gray Matter the shit out of Chuck and his portion of the law firm!
***What ultimately will make Jimmy transform into Saul? Chuck's speech about building your own identity, law practice surname confusion, drama with Juarez or something else?
***Well my one wish is already starting to be answered in that we saw how Saul first connected with Juarez. Now, we have a long fun journey to see how he ends up connected to Don Eladio and that rat Ignacio (among others)
***I'm not surprised Tuco is back. VG loved Raymond Cruz and was sad to kill him off and so soon. Original plans were to kill Jesse at the end of S1 and have Tuco do a home invasion at the White residence in S2. The writing team convinced VG not to do it because it would be too hard to match that momentum when shit got so real so early on in the series
VERDICT Anyone else catch the skaters at the park saying tight tight?!? Did Tuco take that term from the skaters?! Remember how Walt would mimic something from everyone he killed? We will see whether Tuco killed their asses already.
Thanks @aunt liddy! I did miss one big Easter egg: the skaters said they were following Abuelita on Juan Tabo Road, which was Gale's street. Their chances of survival chances just diminished slightly. Saul will probably convince Tuco tonight of how he can make himself useful.
Vince Gilligan instructed Baddicts that a montage scene in the second episode tonight will reveal a clue about an important character from later on in the series (!!!!!)
Love your play by play. I also loved the character Tuco and it was awesome to see him back! The skaters were great. I love seeing Saul in his element. Very excited about this series!

I'm recording Vanderpump Rules. I would watch it while it's on, but I love my husband too much to put him through that. Kristen is crazy. I hope she shows up to Scheana's wedding wearing a wedding dress and talking about being Mrs. Tom Sandoval.
Manson's 'wife' only wanted to marry him for the rights to show his body when he dies. http://nypost.com/2015/02/08/charles-mansons-fiancee-wanted-to-marry-him-for-his-corpse-source/?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=facebook Maybe he should get a show. She sure wants one.
Where's @Derek Harvey to discuss Girls? When is Hannah's dad going to come out? I feel like he was trying to last night!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the lad?! BAT SIGNAL FOR DEREK!
DeleteI was wondering the same thing. Where are you, Derek?
DeleteDerek is over at the place whose name shall not be mentioned.
DeleteNo spoilers, but hated Walking Dead last night!
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
DeleteNew Walking Dead is just about to start here. I'm usually more excited than this

Does anyone here watch Shameless?! How did I not put two and two together that the lesbian pie tipper was the one in the car with Fionna's ex?!
