Better Call Saul

Quote: AZDuffman

I can believe that what with how.........wait a minute, Social Security Museum?!?!?!

Yes! It's in the Social Security headquarters in Baltimore, where I used to work. Probably a very little-known museum, but pretty interesting.

What types of things did you find interesting there?

Yeah, this seemed more like a Todd spin-off than a Breaking Bad story

I'm going to do myself a favor and
not see El Camino. Just watched the
trailer and it was confusing and
awful. Not a single line was spoken.
The bad reviews are really really
bad. The two words that pop up
the most are 'boring' and 'pointless'.
That, and given what was said here,
I'm going to pass on this.

Hey, there is no mention of Skylar.

There is not much new story, just resolution of what happens to Jesse. Jesse is much more real about life after living in a cage for 5 months or so.

I watched it yesterday. My life was not better for having watched it. It was pretty to look at, but it meant nothing.

I believe that the writers overestimated the audiences’ investment in the character. Jesse was easily as disliked as much as anyone else in the show. It wouldn’t have bothered me at all if he had died. The fact that he had many tragedies throughout the show didn’t make him heroic; it made him evil, in a Typhoid Mary kind of way. He destroyed everything he touched, through his wickedness. Even bad people have feelings. But Jesse did not deserve happiness. He earned his misery. If he becomes happy in Alaska, great. If he doesn’t, well, that’s great, too. Who cares. Just another loser.

I think you people have convinced me to pass on it. I would rather watch the Holy Cross vs Harvard football game on Saturday.

I've said before, I disliked Jesse a lot.
All those boring scenes with him high
as a kite with his friends, his moronic
conversations with Walter. And many
have pointed out in reviews that they
really didn't realize what a shitty actor
Aaron Paul really is till this movie. No
surprise to me..

It’s not worth it. You won’t miss anything.

The Todd part was actually kind of fun. It was a particularly strange character that had very well defined rules that didn’t get broken.
