Better Call Saul...whatcha think?

I know Mike’s in every episode but I’m always so happy to see him.

Ya know, I am too. Just starting the 4th season of BB after watching the first 3. I almost bailed after 2 & 3. IMO Anna Gunn was not well cast as Skyler White along side Bryan Cranston as Walter White. She's a fine actress, but I just never believed she and Cranston as a couple. They don't fit.

Consequently their pairing was a little bit of fingernails on a blackboard for me. It would be interesting (maybe) to hear the back story of how she got the gig. Of all the good actresses who could be more believable with Cranston, it's a wonder how she was picked.

I though Saul was the most interesting character in Breaking Bad; I was content they decided to make a series about him. Breaking Bad was released in 2008, I was 13-years-old. Time went by, things changed, I started to enjoy two other characters more: Mike Ehrmantraut and Ed Galbraith. Right now, from one episode to another I don't remind a single thing about the previews, things do change.

Yeah, but that ties into one of the reasons why I don't think BCS is quite as good as its parent show; since it's a prequel to the latter, that makes it so you always know at the back of your mind that any character who was still alive in Breaking Bad is never going to die in Saul (and by extension, you know anyone who wasn't in BB is more likely to die in this show). It does speak to the quality of the show that it still has tense moments at times despite that handicap, but it is still a handicap nonetheless for me...

Alameda St. dude! LFG!

Wow, what a mid-season finale that was.
