sout posted:Yeah, I get what you mean a little bit, that made the violence seem a little playful but it still seemed super dark to me. I don't think that scene is meant to be playful. Particularly the way it focuses on Jimmy's grimacing. It's the first taste of violence in the show and they make it feel real.

Edit: It's also what really nailed down just how much danger Saul exposed himself to by negotiating for their lives. It's why when he said, "I'm the best lawyer ever," I was thinking gently caress yeah you are. Accretionist fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Feb 12, 2015 |

What I'm wondering now is exactly how long after the end of BB is the "present" meant to be? Because Saul Goodman has effectively disappeared off the face of the Earth but they're still airing the commercials, which would mean he hasn't disappeared himself that long ago. edit: Though that rockin' 'stache would probably take a few months to grow... vv Yeah and there's that, literally the first shot in the show. drat I'm forgetful

He went and got a vhs tape out of his secret storage that had all his commercials on it. I think there's been a little time just based on his hairline.

I think it would have been neat for the vacuum guy at the end of BB to actually have brought Saul somewhere else entirely, which could be an entirely new story and season, and poo poo goes south, so he calls for a similar disappearance guy to actually then make him a cinnebon manager. What I'm saying is what if the black and white part wasn't directly after BB, but rather after something else, which was directly after BB? It'd be a neat way to extend the show.

Hahaha, in the podcast they say that the people at Cinnabon are huge Breaking Bad fans, they used a real Cinnabon in the show with real Cinnabon employees, and Bob Odenkirk even learned how to make a Cinnabon himself

I'd be surprised if Gene didn't have an occupation history prepared for him. Thinking about how to manufacture one that would stand up to scrutiny is hurting my brain, but it would have to be done for the disappearing to work as a way of staying out of jail.

I assume the Cinnabon Manager job is something the disappearer actually set up for Saul and advised him was a possibility beforehand. Otherwise, why would Saul deliberately seek out the lovely job he made an off-the-cuff joke about?

 Another funny bit from the podcast: for the montage in episode 2 when we see the guy with the snake tattoo on his face, that's a real tattoo on that guy, but the production staff wondered at first if that was the right kind of snake face tattoo for the show.

I'm guessing the disappearer has connections with someone who buys a lot of franchises. "This rich guy who buys a lot of franchises then contracts out the management to people he knows and trusts" is pretty plausible, provides a great cover identity and would make laundering money hella easy. It is pretty perfect if you are looking to disappear.

I think Jane's death was more shocking at the time because Jesse's world wasn't as bad of a poo poo show when it happened. Andrea's death was brutal, but it happened when Jesse was already a dungeon-dwelling meth slave.

The UK gets it on the day of airing because Netflix swooped in and picked up Breaking Bad when none of the lovely UK channels wanted it. I wish they'd take every show like that. Our channels are awful.

Andrea's death is so hard for me to watch, because Aaron Paul just NAILS that scene. I came home the other day during the BB marathon and that scene was on while I was in another room and just hearing his muffled screams just sucked out all of my will to live.
