Same, it was slow and too much slippin Jimmy shit.

I think they wrote in the transition to Saul poorly.

I get the through back shit but it coulda been wrapped up in half that time.

I'll be back for more.

This started off SO good and it still is pretty damn good, but it pales in comparison to Breaking Bad, and it always will. The season ending was praised but I felt it was anti-climatic. A character dies who has only been introduced like a very little ago and has only had a small part during the time he was Slippin Jimmy... it just didn't feel that that earth-shattering for a season finale.

As for Tuco, completely disagree with Moe. He was easily one of the best characters of the early show and one of the most memorable and explosive psychos in all recent TV shows.

-I shot him a coupla' times.
-What's a couple?
-Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times?
-Maybe fifteen?
-Hmm, it could've been fifteen...

I have to be honest, I'm only watching because of Mike. Waiting for Gustavo to appear in the show.

Me too, but I enjoyed the last couple of episodes with the introduction of Tuco and Tio Salamanca and their beloved cousins, the twins from Hell..

The twins from hell are real good.

Tuco character is fantastic. The actor Raymond Cruz who played him has had a pretty long career.

Mike character actor has had a terrific career. The only other actor like him is the guy from Billions Paul Giamonti.

The first time I saw Raymond Cruz was in Blood in Blood out and I'll always remember him for that.

Just recently watched the movie again after maybe 15 years and it's still good. That doesn't happen very often, a lot of times when I re-watch a movie that I liked when I was a kid, it's over the top of dated, but this flick still kicks ass. Taylor Hackford is also a great director obviously..

I do like Mike (Jonathan Banks) he is a good character actor but his role are kinda of the same, a gruff bad guy, tough guy type. Paul Giamonti, IMO is a better and more versatile actor. He's amazing in Billions. I like them both.

Yes Giamatti is one of the best character actors around these days..

Have seen the trailer of Billions and it looks awesome, I also like Damian Lewis, it's not on TV over here and also not on Netflix so I'm gonna have to wait a while. Never heard of the John Adams miniseries but I looked it up on IMDB and it gets great reviews. Hope they both come on Netflix soon.

Saw Donnie Brasco for the first time in years on Netflix a couple of weeks ago and to my surprise Giamatti was in it too!! He played a small role as a tech guy of the FBI who worked the wiretap, he asked about the famous line: Fùggeta-bout-it!!
Never noticed him years ago because he wasn't famous yet I guess..

Mike is looking so much older in the BCS than BB, not only his face, but his body, posture and movement even more so..

He's becoming a very old man in the prequel LOL, it's becoming a case à la Benjamin Button wink

lol So true. He's not in too good of shape. I don't care if he gets pushed around in a wheelchair for the remainder of the season just to keep him in it, he's the REAL STAR of the show. Without him and the Mexicans, the show is a complete dud. That's why I call it Better Fast Forward To Mike, who gives a shit about Jimmy and his annoying brother. tongue

When he fell against the counter in that print shop, I cursed at Jimmy for going in and helping him..

Ha ha. Yeah me too, Billy. We're pretty rotten for thinking that way but the brother really needs to die soon. Hopefully he either explodes in his house or he dies a slow, painful death. I can't decide which will make me happier lol

It is not as good as breaking bad. But because the story begins before the breaking bad time frame it's fun to watch. When the season starts you will see how Gus hooked up with the old cop.

Can't wait! The action should pick up too because they showed Jimmy from the beginning and not when he was Saul, so of course it was going to drag for a while, while they told his story and gave Mike his background too. From this year on I expect some good shows!

i don't think jimmy will kill his brother, but I can see him having a heart attack and dying. His girl friend will leave him at some point or she just will be written off the show. I actually liked her character.

Her character is interesting, but I'm thinking Jimmy either gets her in trouble with him or like you said she is forced to just leave him alone period. Maybe one or both is what causes him to turn into Saul.

Yep hope that's the end of Chuck, but I seriously doubt it as Gilligan has never cut someone out that easily.

This is the way I saw it. Jimmys brother lost his law firm. Howard bought him out. That put him over the edge before that he was getting better. He fixed up his house and turned the electricity on. Then he relapsed destroyed his house trying to shut off the power himself. Then at the end he knew he was not getting better. So he kicked his light off the table and set his house on fire with him in it. Bye bye chuck.

Then Nacho knew hector was going to kill his father. So he just decide to shoot hector. Then a couple of hectors guys showed up. Also a cartel guy and Gus showed up. Cartel guy said all drug were to be moved in Gus trucks and not with Nacho father. So Nacho is off the hook he does not have to kill hector after all. That news pissed off hector and had an attack. This time the pills worked. But for some reason Gus helped save hectors life I guess because dieing was too good for him. Nacho got rid of the pills in the bottle. But you can see Gus looked at Nacho like he knew what Nacho tried to do. Good news for Nacho it looks like he is back next season possibly working for Gus.

Now Jimmy he tried to make up with his brother no dice. Chuck said don't bother because chuck said he did not care about him. Now Jimmy is taking care of his girl friend law partner. I don't know why he did not ask her to marry him he obviously loves her. After her accident they resolves their partnership for now so she could recover. I guess next year they go their separate ways. Jimmy feels guilty about what he did too the old lady. So he purposely said something so they can hear that he did not care about them so they would make up with each other, but now they hate him. So elder care goes out the window next season. He officially become saul next season. Best part for me was a part that they left on the cutting room floor found it on youtube. You know under the bridge where Jimmy worked cleaning. You saw a women and two kids sitting there singing together. It was Mrs kettlemen and her kids singing so that a prisoner cleaning under the bridge heard them. It was a bearded Mr. kettlemen).
