Better Call Saul (AMC) TV Show • Page 18

It's already almost July and they haven't started filming yet and Gould made it sound like they didn't even have much written either (his exact words on Talking Saul were 'we haven't even started'). So I would say a Spring premiere again would be highly doubtful unless they really get cramming.

Kind of surprised an official renewal has not been announced yet.

 

I do not think we will get even a full episode of Cinnabon Gene

 

Probably doubtful, but in the interview posted, Odenkirk said he really hopes they give Gene a story.

 

It's so crazy in retrospect that Saul didn't show up until season 2, episode 8 of Breaking Bad

 

And wasn't he originally only going to be a short-term character until Bob nailed the role

 

I do believe this is true, so crazy

 

Considering they've shown in the flashbacks that "Gene" is struggling with his new identity, I don't see how they don't flesh that out. I want to know what goes on with Saul post-BB.

 

It doesn't take a full year to shoot a tv season though. Most non-streaming shows can start production anywhere from 3-9 months before the premiere. I wouldn't start worrying yet.

Although Bob Odenkirk said season 3 was delayed because the writers needed a break which pushed filming back which necessitated another break for the holidays, so maybe that'll happen again

 

Aaron Paul was only supposed to be in Season 1.

 

Maybe that's what I was thinking of. Or maybe it was true for both. Idk

 

Watched the finale last night. Michael Mckean needs an Emmy. Dude killed it whole season.

Also that scene with Jimmy/Chuck was heartbreaking.

 

I've been burned (heh) by TV show cliffhangers so much that I didn't even consider that Chuck would actually die in the fire. I assumed S4 would have him being pulled out of the fire or some shit.
Excellent season. Can't wait for more (it would be insane if AMC actually cancels it)

 

I don't deny any of this. Nor that this is top-notch television. I just think we didn't need an entire season to bring the stories to where they are.Especially if all we're getting is a couple seasons more.

With a cast/crew this level, it seems like a waste to spend so much time getting to, for instance, how Salamanca becomes handicapped; we know this happens.

I wish more time was spent telling quality pre/post-BB Saul stories, which I know they can do. Jimmy slowly turning into Saul, just like slowly revealing how each BB character came to be, while fascinating to watch, is like putting the show on auto-pilot.

 

Well, as to Hector getting paralyzed, it's really more a way to tell this fascinating story about Nacho, a totally new character whose fate we don't know anything about. Also it's a way to delve more into Mike and Gus's characters. So it's more than just how he got in the wheelchair when you think about it.

They just decided to make this another character piece, only this time instead of a seemingly good man slowly unleashing the evil that was always inside him, we have a man who truly wants to be good slowly being pushed over the edge of human decency by a combination of poor judgement, the perceptions of those around him, and circumstances beyond his control. It's a different beast and a slower burn. If you wanted something else out of this show then I can see how it would be disappointing, but this is the show we've got and the show Gould/Gilligan wanted to make.

 

I love this show so much, the characters and story telling are top notch. It needs a S4 and more.

 

Yeah I literally couldn't believe what he said, and may have flicked my TV screen off

 

Officially renewed.

AMC Renews ‘Better Call Saul’ for Season 4

 

Yesssss

 

glad to see it in writing

 

lovely

 

No surprise there. I really do believe this show is going to run for five or six total seasons, but no more than that. Honestly I don't want it to run longer than that either.

 

Five seasons would be perfect.

 

I think five seasons would be perfect too

 

Thank you for renewing

 

You're welcome
