Longbaugh01 posted:So glad I decided to catch up on this and that it's back. Mike is scary loving patient and cunning. I didn't even fully realize what he was doing until he pulled out the tracker at the end, and slowly wearing out the battery instead of just yanking it was genius. Yeah it seems to be a modern day (well, late 90s/early aughts) version of the tracker used in No Country For Old Men.

Jerusalem posted:Anyway, I love this show, Michael McKean is amazing and part of the appeal is that Chuck is justified in many ways in his concerns/complaints about Jimmy but he's also an incredibly selfish, myopic rear end in a top hat who wants to keep his brother "where he belongs" as a drone/low level grunt who is inferior to Chuck "the Good Son" McGill. I think there's just the sibling rivalry too, given the scene with their mother's death in the hospital. That could be interpreted as a "favorite son" approach that could have great effect on Chuck.

Last Chance posted:Plus, all of the camera feeds went to Gus' laptop, and it was encrypted! Hank said they probably wouldn't have been able to get anything off of it anyway... That makes Jesse and Walt's magnet adventure completely useless and actively harmful to them. I always liked that they did that. But that's a great plot / character dev point. Even though Walt, Jesse, etc. are creative, they don't know everything!

RedSpider posted:This is false. I said having a suicide prevention hotline appear on the screen after a fictional character on a TV show kills himself was unartistic, and frankly, quite baffling. It took me out of the show. I disagree, The Magicians had one during season 1. It wasn't after an episode with someone killing themselves but themed heavily with it. It was really fit well. They also did one with sexual assault. Maybe it fits better with the audience they are reaching, but I don't think it's out of place or in bad taste.

RedSpider posted:So you're saying that films should now have a suicide hotline number appear before the credits if a character commits suicide? No. I was saying if they did it's not a bad thing. I'm also saying, Sorry your show is suddenly ruined for you because you're inconvenienced.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Whatever your side in the Better Call Saul Suicide Hotline Debate, that case is hosed up. Agreed. I remember reading about it when it first came to light but didn't know until the last week or two that Roy said he wanted to live in one of his last texts to Carter.

PostNouveau posted:I've seen people bitching about that case in a few threads now. I can only imagine it's edgelords worried that they can't shitpost that people should kill themselves anymore. I think there's a difference between hoping someone should kill themselves vs. being an intimate trusted confidant who is telling someone to quit being a pussy and end it. Like I can hope that Trump and Pence take cyanide capsules while romantically embraced. But I can't be Pence's mother actively telling Trump and Pence to stop being pussies and end it.

Sagebrush posted:S4E1 is going to be a Very Special Episode about suicide prevention, using the fallout from Chuck's suicide as a framing device, that will end with Jimmy directly addressing the camera as Chuck comes out from behind a billboard, smiling, "On TV, sometimes things can get out of control. But in the real world, it's never too late to call" I think it will be "Jimmy doesn't have to deal with that anymore" and "Kim leaves Jimmy because of his callousness".
