sevendaughters Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 saw the first episode of The Rehearsal, the new Nathan Fielder series. If you liked Nathan For You, particularly the episodes that were more about changing the life of an ordinary person, then you will like this a lot.

Pork Pie Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 14 hours ago, scratchdj said: Watched the new episode of Better Call Saul which was as amazing as ever. One thing though, albeit small. Hide contents When we rewatched Breaking Bad, me and my wife were taken back by this seemingly throw away line from Saul. That’s quite some continuity. But now Lalo is dead and that Mike pretty much told Jimmy and Kim, it makes this exchange a little less meaningful. I’d love to know if these seeds were purposefully planted in Breaking Bad, or whether they picked things they could use retrospectively. Spoiler Mike never said Lalo was dead just that he's gone and never coming back. Last season Mike told Jimmy that Lalo was going to be delt with which Jimmy believed and then Lalo turned up and killed Howard in his kitchen. So I see it more that Jimmy is so scared of Lalo that he doesn't truly believe Mike and thinks Lalo could still be out there, and when Walt and Jessie took him to the desert in BB his first thought was that it was Lalo coming after him again.

Factotum Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Would recommend listening to the Inside Saul podcast. The writers etc. go through the creation of the characters and the links to BB and how they came up with those threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 19, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 19, 2022 On Sunday I binged the whole series 3 of Barry. Didn't quite reach the quality of series 2 but I can't imagine there's a better thing on TV being made right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Must start this Barry show everyone is banging on about. Watched all of Better Things Series 5 today. Such a wonderful show, and surely the most underrated and to be honest unseen shows of the last few years. Pamela Adlon is of course wonderful, but it's her children that once again steal the show, Hannah Alligood as middle child Frankie in particular. One to watch. A wonderful supporting cast of Celia Imrie, Kevin Pollak and Diedrich Bader help and there is also an "England" episode that isn't the usual cliched bollocks for once! A lovely show, and one I will miss, as I'm pretty sure series 5 is the last one. All on the iplayer for those interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 New episode of BETTER CALL SAUL was all kinds of emotions. Spoiler Amazing how the thing everyone wanted to happen at the start, seeing BB Saul, turns out to be the thing we didn't want to happen. Superb acting once again from all involved, and the next 4 episodes promise to be quite something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members chokeout Posted July 21, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2022 Another cracking episode from Better Call Saul. The jarring jump to him going full Saul was sad but I'm assuming it was Spoiler A reference to it being the first day he didn't think about Howard.

Factotum Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, chokeout said: Spoiler Timeline wise this is now about 2-3 years on from that. It is more that once Kim left, Jimmy turned himself full into a cartoon character, flattened himself, to stop with dealing with the pain. He leaned into his worst habits and is now fully Saul. The juztaposition between the sign on the office roof at the start to one at the end is a not so subtle metaphor of what's happened. He's full on Saul Edited July 21, 2022 by Factotum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started watching it, it said it was available until the 14th. I downloaded them all to my SkyQ box and it seems like they stay on there after they’ve been taken down!

I just thought that seeing as the line directly before it was about how one day you'll wake up and you won't think about Howard that this is that day. After however long the time jump was he is now fully Saul as the guilt over Howard was the last remnant of Jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Spoiler @chokeoutThe pain of losing Kim is what drives him, not Howard. Ultimately that's what drives Kim to leave. Jimmy dies when Kim walks out. We even see the character of Rich call him Saul at the funeral. Nobody calls him Jimmy anymore bar Kim. The moment she's gone, he's Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I like to have a shit TV show on in the background that I can semi-ignore while I'm falling asleep, and after going through all of Silent Witness and Death in Paradise I decided to go for NYPD Blue next and it's actually brilliant. I'm only about five or six episodes in but I'm really enjoying it and watching the whole thing rather than falling asleep part way through an episode like usual. It's in the same kind of gritty, urban cop drama vein as The Wire but with loads more bare arses and less need for subtitles. Plus the music score is absolutely mega.
