The Poojer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 yeah, i read an article that kind of hinted at that. I think his henchman will fill the void and Tuco will be heavily referenced, which is fine with me ....and like a magic trick....gone (don't think we will see him anymore this season). Yes. IIRC Mike killed a suspect. The guy was beating his wife, they released him on bail or something and then he went on to kill her. Mike I think then killed the guy when he found out he hilled her. He was then thrown off the force. IIRC.
Buftex Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 So mike was a cop before he became this parking lot attendant, correct? Do we know from BB why he was no longer a cop? Loved these first two episodes....just brilliant so far I could be wrong too...but wasn't it established somewhere during Breaking Bad, that Mike was a cop in Philadelphia?

Nanker Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Great. Hope to get some shots of Geno's and Pat's.
The Poojer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 i'd rather see shots of places that are actually worth going to. John's, Dinics, Monks Great. Hope to get some shots of Geno's and Pat's.
BUFFALOKIE Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Just finished episode one and two. Thank you Jim in Alaska and Buffalo Brute!!!! ;-)
Maury Ballstein Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Pretty good, but the over the top dumbassery by the skateboarders and the negotiations for broken leg over "Biznatch" were a little meh. Knew the second the tape came off the skateboarders that Saul would be outed by them. Gonna be a good show, skateboarders were just too unrealistic imo.

/dev/null Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Pretty good, but the over the top dumbassery by the skateboarders and the negotiations for broken leg over "Biznatch" were a little meh. . I loved the ending of episode one when Tuco goes bezerk and it ends with him saying Biznatch as he swings grandma's cane at Beavis & Butthead
eball Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 My favorite part of E2 is the foreshadowing of one of Tuco's gang getting himself into trouble by speaking when he should be listening...
Maury Ballstein Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 My man better keep up with his parking stickers. Mikes getting tired of his BS.
Juror#8 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Great first two episodes. I'm a little surprised by Saul's sense of morality. I guess Breaking Bad left me thinking that he was your stereotypical "do anything for a buck" lawyer. Something has to break him bad. Maybe its this angle with the firm that his brother works/worked at. Interesting foreshadowing, too, at the opening with him working at the Cinnabon spot. If I remember correctly that was alluded to in BB which would mean that scene is post Heisenberg (I believe that in the final season of BB that is where Saul said that he wanted to disappear to). If Vince Gilligan's linear story-telling convention holds true to form, we will see that Cinnabon circumstance materialize by the end of this season. Which would mean subsequent seasons would be post Heisenberg and this season would have to tackle a marathon amount of issues and comprise a few years. Not sure how that will work.

I highly doubt this. They are developing critical characters like Mike really slowly so I don't think it is even possible. However, if this show did ever develop like that I would be very disappointed. Edited February 13, 2015 by BuffaloBillsForever
May Day 10 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 this season is only 10 episodes. No way they cram it in

However, if this show did ever develop like that I would be very disappointed.I agree. I don't think it's possible. But you have to admit that Vince has a story telling convention that, at least if we take BB as the example, suggests that the world/circumstance that he gave us a glimpse into at the beginning of the season would materialize by the end of that same season. In all the BB seasons, that's how it worked. Now obviously he is not constrained to that formula. I just found it interesting because that was the format that he used so successfully before.

May Day 10 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I think: Either that was just a glimpse into Saul 2015... or 2011. And that is all we see/need to see. He is constantly wondering if his past is going to show up and end him... while also missing the glory days. or We will continue that story in the last season whenever that is. He will get capped, talk his way out, or off himself. or We will see snippets of that timeline at various points throughout, painting a clearer picture. Really though, there arent many places that story can go.
