[Schlich]

So I'm not really sure what was the point of the Davis and Main storyline was in Better Call Saul. Season 1 ended with Jimmy passing on that job, deciding he wasn't going to play by the rules anymore and take advantage of whatever opportunity he got. We were to assume this was the point he became Saul Goodman.

Then season 2 starts and he decides to take that job, tries to play by the rules for the most part, it doesn't work out and now we are back to where we were at the end of season 1. Why put us through this story arc if it didn't really advance anything, the Sandpiper case was just forgotten about, and nothing really came out of it. They have spent a lot of time developing Kim's character, but she is pretty boring overall. Hopefully there is some payoff at some point.

It's no Breaking Bad, that's for sure.

i think it's because he thought that was the only way to get kim and also in to his brother's good graces.

Good to see The Walking Dead is taking an active role in pissing off its viewers.

The ratings for this show are basically their Wrigley Field- a money-making crutch that means they don't have to give a [expletive] about their actual product for 108 years.

Not to bash the current Cubs, of course... but you get the point. Since approximately the mid 80s, they had a cash cow and a huge market and national following, so all they had to do was open the gates and make money regardless of how good they were on the field. Same thing here. This season was laughably bad.

There were a lot of parts that had promise this season (I would've liked more Jesus, for example), but it never came together. The Carol-centric episode being an exception... that was like a vintage Lost episode.

Probably put more in spoiler tags than I need to:

I have a theory about who got Lucille'd. I think it's Abraham. He's one of maybe two who could take Lucille "like a champ." And a Talking Dead episode mentioned fans could figure it out if they did some Zaprudering. Zapruder's first name was Abraham.

It's horrible...they have so much promise with a show and they just can't execute (pun intended). It's not like they're writing anything from scratch, like Breaking Bad, etc. They have a [expletive] comic book as a reference, and they still can't figure it out. It's like they just aren't satisfied with shooting themselves in the foot, so they bring out a cannon to take their legs off in the season finale.

I've followed the Walking Dead, it's like pop-music for me...there might be a good single every now and then but the whole album is sub-par...but wow, I didn't think they were really that stupid and idiotic. I was wrong. This show is crap.
