Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
Stinker might have been too harsh, but it definitely wasn't up to the storytelling standards I've come to expect from the show. In my opinion, of course.
He won. Period.

Enjoyed this week's episode. Hard to believe there are only 2 left.

Yeah, they did a tie in with last week. Was nice to see his receptionist and the BB tie in. I fear this will not end well for Saul.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
When we watch a show that is a prequel, I lose sight of what still needs to be explained so the show can end. What loose ends need to be wrapped up?
Kim? Is there anything left to say about her at this point?
I think we might get more of the final fate of Jimmy/Gene. But do we need any closure on anything prior to Breaking Bad? I think everything has been concluded with Gus, Hector and Don Eladio. HHM has run its course. Mike has accepted that he's the bad guy (according to Nacho's dad and me).
Now it's just all Nebraska.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
Weird thing I noticed while watching an old Breaking Bad clip on YouTube. Walter goes to Gus' house for dinner. When Walter enters the house you can quickly see some kids' toys in the corner of the den.
Gus has no family in New Mexico, right? I don't remember him ever discussing family and he doesn't seem to have any friends at all. His life is his work.
Why did he have toys in his house?

And I really do smile every time I see Carol Burnett. She is one of my comedy idols.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
I loved the show way more than I thought I would. But that ending sucked.

I liked the ending, it resonated with me. But I didn't get:

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
Great series. One of the best ever.
For the series ending:
I really hate to see the end of a show that was that good. What a classic.

No. I think this is one of those rare instances where we both agree that BCS was a great series.
I think you'll agree on the ending.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
A great ending for a great show. It veered a bit too much into action show territory every now and again, but at the end it remembered what it was truly about.

I will watch anything Vince Gilligan gives me. This man has created two of the best shows in TV history.

Dammit. Started watching the final season but I only got to the second or third.
I even have AMC+ and the first several episodes aren’t available?! Wtf.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
Yeah, they’re pulling this shitty thing of only making them available for a limited time. If we pay for the damn streaming service they have, we should have access to them. But no, they’re going to try and milk it even more.

Re: [AMC] Better Call Saul
Probably has something to do with Netflix helping to finance the show (and Breaking Bad) and that you can eventually stream the whole thing there.
Hodor.

But in the meantime…someone like me (who has both Netflix and AMC+) can’t watch it. FFS

Yeah, it only took me a couple times of dealing with AMC's horrid website before I started setting alarms for 9 PM on Mondays.
