Professor Shark posted:I was going to ask what the timeline was so far, but then I found a site that said we're 5 years out from the beginning of BB (BCS ends in 2003, BB starts in 2008 and ends in 2010). Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, BCS begins in 2002 and the Gene timeline just looks like it takes place in our present-day, so 2015-ish.

spiderbyte posted:Does Saul actually know Gus before BB? We know that he knows of him through Mike, but does he actually know who he is before Walt gets involved? As best as we can tell, no; at best, Saul knows of Gus and knows that he moves meth, but he probably doesn't know his identity.

The Ninth Layer posted:Also Mike's granddaughter has got to be the biggest continuity issue between both shows Eh. Someone realized something during the early filming of the first season of BCS, because in the first few episodes Odenkirk (as Jimmy, not Gene) looks like he's aged 20 years since shooting Breaking Bad, and then all of a sudden they've got him all babyfaced and looking appropriately young. Unicorn blood or something, I suppose.

ElwoodCuse posted:How many of you watched Homicide? It's quite a trip going from "Al Giardelo's son" to "meth king". Oh and yeah that one episode of Community. He doesn't have a ton to do in Homicide: The Movie (since they tried to give a scene to basically every character from the series and cram it into a 90-minute TV movie), but the bit where he's standing on the balcony of the precinct building (really the Recreation Pier, which is now a luxury hotel), Lewis steps out from the Waterfront and is standing on Thames Street, then Lewis catches his eye, taps his heart and Mike Giardello acknowledges it with the weakest, most hurtful nod ... it's a wonderful piece of acting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzVPCSao5wY&t=4817s

Raxivace posted:Godfather Part II is the closest thing off of the top of my head, but IIRC you’re never actually revisiting events from the first film. Yeah, the closest that movie comes to that is the flashback sequence of Vito's birthday party in 1941, where Michael announces he's enlisted and James Caan shows up as Sonny and is pissed as hell at him. They wanted to get Brando to appear, too, but he threw a tantrum because he was feuding with someone at Paramount and didn't show up on the day he was scheduled to shoot.

Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:What is this Mikes Voice thing I keep seeing mentioned? There was some insane Internet theory that Walter was, like, subsuming the souls of people he killed, and some lunatics believed that in Crawl Space, when Walter was confronted in the desert by Gus, that one line--"if you could kill me" or something like that--was dubbed over by Jonathan Banks.

R. Guyovich posted:the people who think when actors talk about "improv" they mean actual ad-libbed dialogue rather than character choices made without rehearsal drive me up a wall. It's like how people think the first Iron Man was just ad-libbed because of a Jeff Bridges quote in an interview. Like, yeah, sure, all of that expensive CGI and all of the plot beats were just made up on the spot.

cloudchamber posted:Isn't that the opposite of what's been happening though? I think TV channels and newspapers are having trouble right now because the financial downturn brought on by the Coronavirus has caused companies to slash down on the amount of cash they were planning to spend on advertising. Journalism outfits have been bleeding since 2004 and really turned for the worse around 2009; the rise of VC companies acquiring journalism outlets then bleeding them dry has only made things worse. With national TV, no, generally advertisers are locked into long-term deals. Local TV affiliates are hurting, though, although there's been about a 25 percent increase in ad spends over the past few months, but for the most part after primetime hours and affiliates are just doing their syndication programming, you'll see the same four commercials three times in an hour.

This is kind of where you have to kind of whitewash it a bit and assume that Gus has local officials in his pocket and can get the permits taken care of with some bribery.

christmas boots posted:That's kind of how I felt with Breaking Bad, but I also kind of liked that. Ozymandias was that big blow me away and even Felina felt like a wind-down by comparison, but that really worked for me. Ozymandias was the climax. Granite State and Felina were the denouement.

CelticPredator posted:Well yeah. He didn’t know she confessed to hamlin’s wife Right, this is explicitly text. He thought he was going to be able to sell out Kim to the ASA for a little more leniency because he was still mad about their phone call. Then he finds out that Kim already made a full statement and sworn affidavit to Hamlin's widow as well as to the DA in Albuquerque, and he lost his final bargaining chip. He's lying his rear end off when he says he has dirt on Kim to make her come to court from Florida, because he's being selfish. Then at his plea hearing, he starts to try and sell the same sob story, probably because of how hurt and angry he was at Kim. And then he decides to sacrifice his material life in order to save his soul. At the podium, Saul Goodman died and Jimmy McGill was reborn, for better and for worse.

Catastrophe posted:I'm glad that multitudes of new people have been introduced to how much Carol Burnett owns. Carol Burnett had an incredible guest spot in an episode of Law & Order: SVU, alongside Matthew Lillard, in which she was a black widow who killed her husbands. Got nominated for an Emmy for the episode, I think it was in season 10.

The Salamanca cartel has been eradicated. Chuck, Gus, Walt and Mike are dead. Jesse's safe in Alaska starting a new life. Jimmy McGill is disbarred and in prison for the rest of his natural life. Kim Wexler is trying to start over in Florida. There's really nothing left to tell. Catastrophe posted:What in the ever-loving heck? No way. Told you!

AndyElusive posted:El Camino-like spin off movie about Flynn, Holly and Skyler post BCS/BB. I mean, we already know what happened with Skyler; she got a deal for being complicit in money laundering in return for telling the FBI where Hank and Gomez's bodies were. The Gene scenes take place in late 2010, not terribly long after Breaking Bad ended, so she's probably serving supervised probation and raising Flynn and Holly.

Annabel Pee posted:I only realised with Saul said to Marie he met Hank a few times, did we ever see when he found out Hank was Walt's brother in law? So he met Hank a few times in BCS, then a few times early in BB, and then at some point he finds out Walt's brother in law is a DEA agent, and then some time later he finds out its the same guy he's met before. Do we ever see that point? I don't remember it. It also made me laugh thinking when he was confessing to everything, he could have also said to Marie, oh yeah actually Walt told me to call your husband once and tell him you were dying in hospital! I think Saul figures it out early in season 3 of BB.

I wouldn't be shocked to see collections of the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul scripts published at some point in the next five to seven years. Babylon 5 had its scripts published in collections a few years back, and that was a much more niche show than BB / BCS. Timby fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Aug 18, 2022 |
