Better Call Saul

Quote: AZDuffman

Won’t be. The actor is committed elsewhere. Skylar may be back for a minor role.

God, I hope not.

She could almost be Stormy's sister.

The actress was in “Deadwood.” She was the wife of the guy who’s brother died and he married her out of duty. One scene they are discussing something and she says, “shall we go upstairs and take care of our marital obligations?” Guy is like “whatever.” Same kind of cold woman.

I saw a clip of Anna Gunn in some talk show. Weird to see her act pleasant.

I really liked Deadwood, I think it was a lot more linguistically accurate than the writing in "Matt Dillon" or other period westerns. At least for wild west mining towns.

Mrs. Bullocks competitor for Seth's affections Alma, [Molly Parker] seems to be in many of the shows we have watched lately?

We liked Timothy Olyphant in the series Justified as well. The wife likes his swagger.

From what I read they tried to use the same amount of cussing but replaced period cuss words with modern ones so it made sense.

In 1876 nobody said c-sucker or used
the f-word. Cuss words were damn,
goddam, hell, bastard, shit, stuff that's
tame now. Milch went overboard with
all the swearing, they really didn't
cuss all that much. I believe people
cuss more now than at any time
in history. Even women say the F
word all the time, I never heard
that 30 years ago.

Mother f'er wasn't even around till
after WWI, and even then you only
heard it in the poorest part of town.
In the late 1800's you didn't cuss
around women and kids, you might
get the crap beat out of you if you
did.

It probably had a similar affect to any profanity anyone dreams up today.

The johns in the whorehouse must have had some phrase to order fellatio off the menu.

Ahhh, must be nice to reminisce about when you were little.

Real slow start to the season. Jimmy seemed to come to terms with his brother's death fairly fast.

Mike shows why he is Mike.

Based on the first episode, I expect season 4 to be more story driven, at the expense of character development. It's off to a good start with many new plot lines opening.
