Thread: Better Call Saul - Season 6 Teaser Trailer
I miss this show, it was fucking good
Unfortunate really but albeit it was a solid Season, Succession just destroyed.
Vince Gilligan has something else in the works Matt, a Sci-fi series for AppleTV called 'Wycaro' apparently which is supposedly a return to his X-Files roots. Not sure when it is debuting as I dare say the Writers Strike fucked up scheduling, but I dare say it will be worth the wait.

I'd have a hard time arguing what should win between Succession and Saul, but if I'm the one putting in votes, my votes aren't all going to Succession. I'd have to hope that Vince GIlligan and the other brains behind the amazing Saul show don't even give a shit about these dumb awards shows. Winning is nice, sure. But losing doesn't mean your show isn't as good. They can probably shrug off the lack of wins.
One real crime is Bob Odenkirk not winning anything. I think he has an Emmy related to writing, but he acted his ass off in Saul and really deserved it. Hopefully he doesn't care that much either.

Yeah, I kinda agree. First season was superb, but from then on, it was diminishing returns. Some great episodes, but overall, it wasn't Breaking Bad quality tv.
They froze the second half of season 6 so long, I just forgot about the show. Worth finishing or did they f it up like GoT?
They stuck the landing. It didn't quite go the way I envisioned it, but it was still pretty good. Worth seeing out for sure.

True story. There were so many times I legit thought this was better than BB.
Definitely worth finishing.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul will always be the greatest shows ever created in my view. BCS won 34 awards out of about 212 nominations
A lot of people, myself included often compare it to Breaking Bad, but there really is no comparison when Walt isn't in the equation. You just can't compare the two as you would like to when you think about it, because without Walt and Jesse operating? It's just not the same. Apples and oranges. Saul is comparable to Walt in some ways. But the tone, the stories, the lives of the characters all go in vastly different directions when Jimmy is coking into his own and Saul is at large compared to when Walt is at large in BrBa

I liked Saul but I think it could have wrapped up a season earlier. Too many wacky schemes going on. The whole department store caper, over complicated shit involving the film crew just made me miss the simpler episodes with Chuck or Kim.
Succession was fantastically acted, looked incredible, and Shivs ass was otherworldly. That being said, practically every episode was the same. "Did you make the deal? No he made the deal. Did you know that they were working with her on making another deal? No, but I made a deal with her before making a deal with you." I liked the show but nothing really happened.

I like Gus a lot, I like the actor a lot, but I don't see that working as a spinoff. If Vince Gilligan did do it, I'd know he had great ideas for it, but I just can't see it myself.
Plus Giancarlo was already looking a little old to be playing a prequel series in Saul, now we're gonna add even more years and start in season 1 of a new spinoff that goes even further back in time?

I can see it happening, and would hope for it to be approved by Vince Gilligan. Gus started out as a promising businessman hoping to partner up with the cartel. From that day forward, the cartel ruined him and his life so he sought revenge in secret for all those years. I think there's a lot of potential. We saw the rise and fall of Walter White but never saw Gus transform. Saw Gus at his height and when he struck but nothing before that. There's an entire crime saga to be shown if they choose to go forward with it. I'm just not sure who else they would focus on? Vince could go all in with the Cartel but he seems to like having other sides to a story. Maybe they could focus on Mike, Mike's son? But that seems unlikely. It would be extremely dark; focusing solely on the cartel and Gus growing his empire

The worst part of Better Call Saul being a prequel is that it was done after Breaking Bad and everyone is old. Specifically due to COVID putting the schedule back as well as Rob Odenkirk having heart issues which put another stoppage in filming and aging him something fierce.
With Gus, it would require two actors to tell his story someone very young showing how he came up and then him reflecting on his past in present day, but due to how old he is, he looks nothing like he does the day he was blown up in Breaking Bad, so even that would look odd.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are great. Along with The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Rome. They all have flaws, but at least they all have a cohesive story that does hold up after multiple viewings across all of them, in my opinion.

That's kinda one of the main reasons I can't see it. With Saul, you had all these other characters of interest that were involved and it all ties directly to the events of Breaking Bad. We basically got two parallel stories going on that mirrored each other in a lot of ways. And Mike was already the main focus of the parallel story IMO.
This is just Gus coming up in the business. Ok so we could also see Eladio, Bolsa, etc. But it's 100% a cartel show like you said. Neither BB or Saul was 100% cartel or 100% civilian. I guess I just don't see this being the reason that Vince Gilligan continues on in the BB universe that I think he said he was leaving behind. But who knows.

Vince can 100% make it happen. He's introduced characters like Kim, Nacho, Lalo, Chuck and they were all amazing
If Esposito's idea were taken all the way then we would be seeing the entire cartel and that life unfolding as Gus weaves his way up the ladder as a Don of the cartel. A lot of Juan Bolsa, Hector Salamanca, Lalo, the Cousins I'd imagine. Probably a good deal of Hank's colleagues as well. It would have to be a DEA vs Cartel chess game of sorts to balance it all
I just don't know where Vince would go with it because he likes to showcase a lot of characters and it seems like regular relatable characters have sort of been taken off the table, there would be no normal people in it from the start. There's not many if any at all that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould could focus on to bring that family element into the story. I guess they could go way deeper into Walt's past and even Jesse's beginnings as a criminal if they truly wanted but it would be a stretch. After all, there is still Walt's brilliance as a chemist while he was creating Grey Matter with Elliot Schwartz and Gretchen Shwartz. I wouldn't mind seeing their plans, chemistry, and relationships play out but I don't have the mind for what could make it super interesting. But it would be a plus because we can see Walt and his family and everyone else while things were promising, actually. When things were better. Can see the communities before they were under the reign of Walter White, and maybe even before Gus started getting serious and crime started to seep into New Mexico
Not sure if there's enough to go by but even if the show were simply just Gustavo Fring and the Cartel that would be enough for me to watch every week

Skyler probably thought if she fixed some things up, she'd get a bunch of work. Instead, she now looks like a plastic freak who could never land another role because of it. Why do women do this shit.
