Better Call Saul

[broncosmitty]

What was the time jump in this ep? 8 months?

Had to be close. Kim's arm being in a cast for two or three months seems about right.

Jimmy mentioned something about a month to go with his suspension.

The construction boss mentioned to Mike that the guys were expecting the entire job to take 8 months, but they were only about 1/2 done. That’s why I said 8 month time jump.

There was also the first invoice shown. I just forgot what date that was. The second invoice said April 2004 (I think)

Have we had firm confirmation on dates in the past? We now know we are at April 2004 in BCS. Do we know dates for BB?

I thought breaking bad was current situation, so this is about 8 years before BB. I think.

I think season 5 will be that last of Saul, and the creators make another show post Breaking Bad.

I read somewhere that they might make a show about Kim.

Really?? Her character is not near good enough to carry a show.

 

[Taddy Mason]

that being said, i'd look into it, and if they did it with the care of BB and BCS, why not?

I would absolutely watch it (or AT LEAST give it a chance). I did not have high hopes for BCS, and it turned out better than BB.

I did not think so either.

I'm not going to argue against those creators, he put out a great product time after time.

I would trust him with a 3-hour show about a boat ride. Dude has the golden touch.

Except for maybe Hancock (2008). But yeah, BB/BCS shows and/or universe is nearly flawless.

I had no idea he was behind Hancock. I rather liked that movie, though...

The aging has hurt him the most. The weight issue doesn't really bother me. It's a prequel and can be explained because its not like people have never gotten fatter as time goes by. Mike looks older as well but it isn't quite as dramatic.

The real thing that bothers me the most is Mike's granddaughter is like 4 or 5 in Breaking Bad yet she's apparently the same age in BCS.

100% agree on the girl. I haven’t seen BB in a while now but I kept saying I coulda sworn she was a little child. Wtf.

I knew all these actors would be aged playing younger versions(Huells being the funniest difference)

But the grand daughter is the only one that breaks me because it seems like they just abandoned her age.

Mike looks A LOT older that he did in BB. Not much they can do about it and I'm used to it now. But it's a bit of a stretch to consider him the physically imposing bad-ass his character is supposed to be.

I don’t think Mike is supposed to be a physical bad ass. More of a very intelligent cleaner/criminal from past experience on the police force.

He's that, too. But he's physically imposed his will at least once in BCS a season or 2 back. It was against at least 1 and maybe 2 guys in a parking garage, much bigger and younger than him. That was the first time I noticed how short he is. I don't recall the other details. I'd have to look it up. It's no big deal, just something I noticed. Ermentrout is great in the role.

Yeah that was late S1.

If I remember correctly it was mostly do to him being much more experienced with a gun tho

The Coushatta mail and phone scam was amazing
