    I actually came into the thread hoping for spoilers but now I am disappoint.

    Looking forward immensely to it though. Bob Odenkirk is brilliant.

    The show will jump around time. Before, during and most interestingly of all AFTER Breaking Bad, it's being confirmed.

    Why would you want to be spoilt rather than actually seeing it in the show itself?

    Not quite. The exact quote:
    One of the great things about having a time line which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before ‘Breaking Bad,’ during ‘Breaking Bad,’ and after ‘Breaking Bad.’
    The 'perhaps' indicates they can do it, not that they will do it. Not really semantics if it means they're not actually following events after the show.

    It's been shown that spoilers increase people's enjoyment of stories.

    Why are you reading a thread marked spoilers if you don't want to be spoilt ??

    Spoiler threads are generally taken to mean "we're going to discuss up to the latest aired episode" and not "we're going to discuss elements of episodes that have yet to be aired". Big difference is that the first just means that you need to be up-to-date in your viewing but can otherwise enjoy the story as it unfolds, whereas the second means that the spoilers will reveal elements of the story that have yet to air and therefore not in the TV show as it was designed to be.

    I was joking. In that there are absolutely no spoilers in the video that was posted.

    New teaser is out.

    I won't post Youtube video because the main image is of
    Mike Ehrmantraut
    which could be a spoiler for a lot of people.

    Trailer is a bit weird, first 2/3 of it looks like an offbeat, quirky lawyer show taking on dodgy cases... then it suddenly goes all Law & Order with some serious case against a big company. It looks like that case might be the first break Saul gets to go make his own law firm... with Mike tagging along at some point after getting sick of being a toll booth attendant :confused:

    If I remember right the Breaking Bad episodes went up about 8am so I would say these one will go up about the same time.

    Immediately this is compulsory viewing for Breaking Bad fans-it's shaping up to be an expanded universe rather than a simple spin-off; even the opening montage could have come straight from the original.

    A solid 7/10 start.

    That opening montage was superb with Saul purposely looking very Walter White and this time
    it's the ingredients of a cinnebon being mixed up and not drugs.

    Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season develops without the direction of Gilligan it had here.

    Question:
    Didnt Saul meet Tuco in Breaking Bad? And when he did wasnt there a lack of "oh! you again!"?

    Solid start to the show. It was never going to be an amazing episode. Nice to see Saul in life after BB even if it was only for a minute or two. Looking forward to tomorrows episode already. Doesn't feel like I am watching BB and for 50 minutes neither Jessie nor Walt crossed my mind. The reveal at the end made sense.

    Tuco dies in 4/5 episodes into season 2. We don't meet Saul until Badger gets arrested. So no, I don't remember the two ever meeting.

    Very strong opening episode! was actually expecting when he was driving around suburbia that we might see Walts car in the driveway, also can't understand why Mike is just a car park attendant? I thought he was a fully fledged cop? What a great ending can't wait for tomorrow night.
    Btw is AMC co-producing this with Netflix as its billed as a Netflix original?
    Also should this thread not be in the "online TV" forum?

    Not really. It airs on AMC first which is a Cable channel.

    Just seen it has a 100% rating on RT so far based on 38 reviews.

    Mike had to leave law enforcement under a cloud. My guess is he's using the car park job as an excuse to find something to rob or someone to kill.

    Well I enjoyed that.

    It was a wee bit confusing at first with Chuck and the old law firm business, but it got into it's stride by the end.


    Also...Tuco :pac:
