Great Beer posted:Watching the episode again and i can't stop mentally replacing Jimmy and toilet guy with Michael Bluth and Tobias Funke. The scene could easily have been in arrested development. YES. Agreed completely. The comic timing, absurdity, and just how hopelessly genuine toilet guy was. So unbelievably funny, my girlfriend and I are still quoting it. Austrian mook posted:What? What kind of analogy is this? It's you. The turd in this thread.

Doltos posted:Really? Because I'd rather not see a page of information analyzing really minor, minor plot points that people are looking way too much into. It's like being on the Game of Thrones subreddit. Yeah, effort posts are better than shitposts. Welcome to the forums? I admit, I was a bit shocked at Saul's outburst at the end of this episode, but a rewatch would have helped. A post here helped me realize he's reacting to EVERYTHING, not just Kim or the Case of What Money? Thanks for contributing to a conversation that can be insightful.

The podcast for the Mikeisode is really excellent, start to finish. It takes them a long time to get to the meat of the episode, but that's the only negative thing to say about it.

Cromulent posted:I'd like the podcasts a lot better if each one started with "Everyone involved with this is amazing, talented, sweet and gracious." and then each person said thank you and you're welcome and they got on with talking about the episode. I'm not saying they're being phony or anything, but it seems like every anecdote has to be padded with "And Peter wrote that, that was his idea. He's so good, that was such a great idea. What a sweet guy, too. So lucky to have him." We get it, you all appreciate each other. I'm fascinated by all their wonderful teams and specific wonderful members of the show and the wonderful shots they get...  Vince tried to avoid using that word for half an episode, to no avail.

Steve2911 posted:I'm a bit late, but the ending of this episode did an amazing visual job on how Chuck sees the outside world. I don't know if it's just me, but everything around Chuck looked like a vague, endless void (and not just because it was out of focus). I'd like to know which episode you just watched, because the end of the most recent episode is shot in focus and has no endless void to speak of.

Jake Armitage posted:Its amazing reading over this thread how many posters don't seem to have any idea who Michael McKean is. Its a tragedy if the younger generations aren't aware of Spinal Tap. Forget the thousand other things he's been in, even SNL, but for God's sake watch Spinal Tap, its practically part of our culture. Yeah, track down a copy and watch This is Spinal Tap. loving hilarious movie. It's such a staple of comedy and so many things reference it.

Last Chance posted:I can't even remember a single scene with just Saul doing his own thing and not doing a task for Walt/Jesse This is why I wouldn't be offended if this show went into that timeframe. I do agree it'd be better if you never saw Aaron Paul or Bryan Cranston, but either way these guys are going to knock it out of the park with whatever they decide to do. Sex toilet.

Chamale posted:They kind of gave up on Fly ahead of time. They were going over budget for the season, so they decided to do an episode with very few characters, effects, and locations. Season 3, episode 10 was scheduled to air at the same time as the Lost finale, so they decided it would be the best one to film cheaply. The episode we got was brilliant.

mycot posted:Yeah reading stuff like this makes me wonder how anyone could write long-term stories for TV at all because of all the completely unpreventable poo poo that could happen at any moment. I'm reminded of Kal Penn's character inexplicably committing suicide mid-season, off screen, in House. That was confusing until I looked up the news - he had joined Obama's administration!

Raxivace posted:They did that with Better Call Saul as well. Somebody's job was actually to cut together every scene of Saul from Breaking Bad together so the writers could get ideas, look back at the character etc. before writing season 1. That would be a fun job. I'd actually be surprised if a fan hasn't done the same at this point - I recently found a Chewbacca supercut of Empire Strikes Back. That made for a silly fifteen minutes or so.

No poo poo, that show was House, Cuddy, and Wilson in that order. Maybe House+Wilson and Cuddy. He did quietly steal the show often.

Captain von Trapp posted:I figure Walt was a basically bad person who'd lived a largely good life out of convenience, and Jesse was a basically good person who'd lived a largely bad life for the same reason. Jimmy's a more complex guy somewhere in the middle, except nothing in his life has ever been convenient. He's been dealt a pretty rough hand. He's certainly a very different character from the BB protagonists. If you appreciate Breaking Bad for being extremely American, you're still fascinated by BCS. Or it's just me.

Antifreeze Head posted:Yeah, I noted (and loved that) but it was weird. It makes sense to today's audience since the Royals have been to the world series twice in a row, but in the early 2000s they were losing up to 100 games per season. Maybe her character is from Olathe or something, because there was no bandwagon for KC when Better Call Saul takes place. Maybe she isn't a bandwagon fan and just loves the drat Royals

Mr. Gibbycrumbles posted:I think the writers crawled too far up their own arses to be honest. I can't see how audiences can really give enough of a poo poo about poor plucky little misunderstood Jimmy to justify dragging that out to two whole seasons. One season should have been enough, then BAM - Saul is in da house. Hello! I give a poo poo because I've been watching the show, you should try it. Plucky lil Jimmy isn't so plucky any more. He's directionless and frustrated by his lack of agency, much like Walt at the beginning of Breaking Bad. It's a great bit of character development I hope you get to experience one day! quote:All people really want to see at this point is Saul Goodman being Saul Goodman and up to all sorts of actual proper shady poo poo with various lowlifes and thugs. Lots of people are watching this show who haven't seen Breaking Bad, so this is patently false as well. The show's ratings are up there with later episodes of BB. Your basic point I totally understand and kind of agree with - more Saul is what sold me on watching this in the first place! But this show is loving excellent. I'm thrilled to see where things go from here, I have no desire to jump into the second act before they've finished the first.

The problem isn't stuff shot in higher framerates. (Well, in this conversation at least!) It's newer TVs that try to add frames in between what's actually there for "motion smoothing" and it looks like... well, it's been described better than I could put it. But it's awful to my eyes and jumps right out.

I mean, everyone caught on to the Tuco scheme being a half-measure, but I hadn't realized the parallel was that close to what Walt was doing. Good job reading, I guess?
