That is like the Vince Gilligan trademark. There is so much time spent in detail and set up, and then it all pays off in spades at the end.

hogan873 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yeah, the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul was awesome. I couldn't figure out what Jimmy and Kim were working on, couldn't quite see what the plan was. Then it all came together amazingly. And the shocker at the end of the episode...wow.

It's good and I'm definitely glad they decided to add other characters' pre-BB stories (Mike, Gus, etc) because it would often drag if it was just about Saul. The Saul stuff is an afterthought at this point. The stuff with Charlie was interesting but Nacho, Lalo, Gus and Mike make the show. I wonder if that was how the show was always set to run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These last six episodes have to hit the Walt transition and then how he ends up working at a freaking cinabon undercover. But yeah, the cartel stuff has some run it needs to set up too.

Kim Wexler grew up in Nebraska....little Easter Egg at the start of the last episode along with the Vacuum repair man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember for sure, but the lab under the laundromat was brand new in Breaking Bad, right? And it's nearing completion now in Better Call Saul. I want to re-watch Breaking Bad now. On a side note, I wonder if what happened at the end of the mid-season finale is what make Jimmy become the Saul we knew in Breaking Bad.

hogan873 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just finished Severance on Apple+. Great show. And a hell of a cliffhanger. The first episode of Season 3 of The Boys was absolutely fucking bonkers. Looking forward to this season and seeing Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy.

hogan873 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Bear on Hulu is fantastic. Jeremy Allen White is superb as a highly successful chef taking over the family's hole in the wall restaurant in Chicago. The show has a Shameless vibe, and not just because of White. Constant dialogue (a lot of swearing) that sounds authentic, great acting, and surprisingly good character development for eight 30 minute episodes. Episode 7 looks like, and maybe is, one 20 minute shot that is so intense that I was stressed just watching it. Highly recommend this show.

They definitely make their beef sandwiches smaller now. A big beef is the size of the old regular size beef. The regular size is a joke now. Mr Beef reigns supreme.

He strips Homelander of his power either unintentionally because the boys know how to trigger his PTSD, or intentionally because he is all about being macho and he is disgusted by who Homelander truly is. 2. Butcher and Hughie use the remaining permanent V from Kimiko in order to stop themselves from dying from the temp V. They then lose their powers in the same fight when Soldier Boy strips Homelander of his powers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
