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.


They do need to start lining things up as we know where it all ends up. Though things move fast. Walter did go from working in a cae wash to blowing up a nursing home in about 11 months.

I agree it was slow, I had to keep fast forwarding while watching it.

2nd ep. The writers have mastered molasses story
movement. This ep was as slow as molasses in
January. Felt 2 hours long.

Not nearly as slow as last week's ep.

I agree that both episodes have been slow.

I think killing off Chuck was a mistake. Jimmy and Chuck's passive aggressive relationship was one of the best things about the show.

Breaking Bad was still great after killing off Gus, I'm hoping the writers can kick it back into high gear soon.

That's because the Jimmy/Chuck plot was all...Better Call Saul, and this season is all about leading us into Breaking Bad. Out with the old, in with the new, and all that.

This show is supposed to go 5 seasons,
same as BB. But BB was such a huge
hit it went 7 seasons. I doubt that
will happen with Saul.

Just saw Better Call Saul tonight.

Sounded like 'blood spectrum antibiotic" instead of broad spectrum antibiotic.

6 min in the entire ep to advance the
story, the scene with the chemist and
the call to Fring's boss. The
rest was pure nothing burger. I
thought the stealing the Hummel
crap would never end. Filler nonsense.
