Every time I see this bumped and it's not a season four trailer 
Television Better Call Saul | Includes Breaking Bad Spoilers
- Thread starter Kinky Melinky
- Start date
I'd totally forgotten about this.
Might try and rewatch at least season three before August.

that was a long gap, i bet a lot of fans have forgotten about it.
Pretty hyped for this, I thought it wasn't going to make it out until more like September.
Yes!!! Love this show.
I think most have forgotten it because of how average and underwhelming it turned out to be.
I gave up on this towards the end of season two because I found it so dull and slow. Does it get any better?
Not really. I don't mean that it's bad, and those that still routinely watch it seem to love it, but the pacing hasn't changed.
Season 3 was similar to 2 in that it seemed to start to pick up around episode 4/5/6 but then slowed down again. Looking at the teaser for Season 4 it looks a lot more BB type action, so the pacing may pick up a little.
I enjoy it as it is anyway but I understand why people find it slow.

Season 3 did pick up the pace substantially in fairness, it finally reached snails pace.
Oi!
Just re-watched the second half of the last series. The latter half of the final episode is pure brilliance. Chuck's mental breakdown is made feel so real.
Its an outstanding show with a devout following and high IMDB score of 8.7. It had its highest ratings in the first season largely from people who were probably expecting it to be just like Breaking Bad but it has still surpassed initial expectations. Its outperforming other shows on the AMC network that have nothing to do with Zombies (Walking dead and Fear the walking dead).
Agreed, I love it!
It really is an amazing show. It seems slow paced, but there is still details you will miss the first time watching. The beautiful cinematography and pacing go hand in hand and is there to tell the full story, not only to show actors saying words to each other.
Much of the excitement i get from the show is trying to get inside Saul's head. Such a layered character it is laughable. I think only Bob Odenkirk could make that character believable tbh, i can't see anyone else.

I binge watched all three seasons after having only seen the first season of BB.
It was great to then watch the rest of BB knowing most of the back story for these characters.

Starts back tonight in the US, tomorrow here.
Preparing for the next 10 weeks to feel like 10 years.

They manage that in the pre-credit B+W Cinnabon / hospital / cab ride show-opener alone!
EDIT: It barely speeds up once the actual show starts.
Reminded me of this from one of the greatest films ever:

Oh, that episode happened.
Jimmy/Saul to Howard: 'That's your cross to bear'. Absolutely brutal line.
Love this shit.
Brilliant first episode. Sure this show has been slow, but I love it. I've been eager for this new season for so long, but I didn't realise how badly until I actually watched it. It is great stuff.
Way too slow, could have covered the events of whole episode in half the time.
Nobody has ever said this before.
It’s really strange as they have done fast paced episodes before, just wish it was more often.
Im starting to think the whole reason behind it being slow is to resemble that of Breaking Bad itself in terms of seasons 1 to 3. Things just sky rocketed after that and the pace was relentless until the end.
Watched the 1st episode, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen season 3 that it’s hard for me to piece together what’s going on. Can someone help connect the dots?
- Why does Jimmy get happy when he hears Howard bring up the malpractice insurance?
- Why does Mike go snooping around Madrigal?
- What made Jimmy pass out at the Cinnabon in the beginning of the episode? This is present time, correct? After the events of Breaking Bad?
Gus
1) He went in to try and cancel his own lawyer insurance, they wouldn't refund him. So to spite Chuck, he told them about what happened at the trial or whatever you call it. But I don't think he got happy because of that, he was happy/relieved that Chuck's demise was Howard's fault and not his.
2) Explained in episode two of this series but essentially he's being paid by Gus through them now and Mike is a stickler for making things look legit.
3) Can't remember exactly but I think he witnessed a kid get done for shoplifting and shouted at him to make sure he got a lawyer. Then the stress of bringing too much notice upon himself made him pass out. I think.
Cheers! @Zebs
Was this the reunion episode or what! Looks like the pace has picked up not that it bothered me too much. This should be a very interesting season.
Brilliant episode!
Rhea Seehorn going off in that scene. Most convincing on-screen angry shouting I've ever seen. Outrageous acting. Had me feeling all tingly.
It's interesting at the beginning of the first episode every season it starts with Saul post BB on the run looking over his shoulder, like how Walter was towards end of season 5. I'm guessing all these black & white scenes will wrap up the final season eventually and give fans more a reason to watch to see happened after the BB timeline.
Such a great show. The ending of ep 2 too ...
Gus is awesome
She really laid into him. Was loving that scene....so much passion
Yeah that really came out of the blue, great acting and felt genuine.
Speculation:
There is no resolution, he just lives his life in constant fear, in a dead end job and that's his penance for all his crimes. Ultimately he can't slime his way out of it
You never watched the Sopranos if that's the most convincing angry shouting you've ever seen.
