TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

I've even heard a rumor that they're very much on the table- Walt and Jesse.

Interesting. I'm not even sure how that works. Maybe they show up on the margins and we don't even see them interact with Saul. Maybe he bumps into one of them at the store, but it's somehow both significant yet not at all memorable to him. Or it's just a cameo and that's it. Maybe they get current with BB and you see what Saul was doing offscreen with other clients and maybe some nods to Walt and Jesse. That's tricky though - you don't want to evoke another show that people would rather see. Or they go to present day and Jesse gets worked in somehow. That seems least likely.

This is where i'm at--i could go either way with a Walt/Jesse appearance, but i don't see how their characters don't intersect at some point, especially considering the very beginning of Episode 1.

Also, Jesse sent out a pretty telling tweet the other night, something about not being able to wait for all the "surprises" or something.

If they have significant Jesse or Walt scenes planned, my guess is it would be backstory during the BB time frame. I'm sure they are thinking it all out, based on what I heard from Gilligan in the BB podcasts, on how they do things. They also have to know that they can't always count on the actors to be available at the sketched times in storyline.

These guys -Vince Gilligan etc - they are so damn good. I am guessing they are planning to have fun with this, rather than trying to eclipse BB. Although I like to analyze it too, I'm also good to just kick back and enjoy it. If the show goes a little Godfather IIIish, hell, I can live with that.

IF what some others have said thinking that the first scene was him living in Omaha under his new identity there's no way NOT to have WW and Jessie in the show. I'm guessing those two were his cash cow clients so they have to play some part in his demise.

"Breaking Bad" showed very clearly that Walt had no interaction with Saul Goodman prior to their first meeting on the show.

The writers and creators of Better Call Saul have made it very clear that the show takes place before, during, and after Breaking Bad.

Jon Stewart is leaving the daily show

Jordan Peele is incredible. I'd like someone to try and see if he could carry a movie. Been watching K&P on Amazon. Season 3 it gets crazy funny.

Justified is back! The season had been kind of trudging along, but it picked up steam last night. It was/is also nice to see some recurring characters return (Bob & Limehouse next week).

I don't think the opening scene is up for much interpretation. It 100% for sure is Saul, now called Gene, living in Omaha, managing a Cinnabon in a mall. They don't really give visual clues as much as they give visual facts: name tag, Omaha sign in the Cinnabon, watching the old glory days VHS of his Better Call Saul ads.

Saul's demise is sitting in an easy chair in Omaha, a world removed from that LWYRUP vanity plate. If he gets popped by some old New Mexico thug or scooped up by the cops it's just denouement.

I'm really interested to find out WTF is up with Chuck.

Probably not cool enough to be liked by many on here, but The Middle has been really good this year. It seems once they focused more attention on Sue, the show got better.

It's one of the few shows we do watch, albeit usually a few days after it airs.

I've felt this season has maintained the quality, but not improved it much.
