"Better Call Saul" Premiere This Sunday!

Love me some Colbert.

I love Colbert.

And I perhaps exaggerated. I've watched a few of his episodes in a row. But he's sometimes too much for me. Eventually I get pissed off at how dumb our government is. It's sad that our best news agencies are our comedians.

It's sad that's not actually true yet so many people actually believe it is.

It's probably not true, but it is kind of true that they are the best popular news source. If you think about how many people watch msnbc, fox, cnn and that kind of news, then the comedy shows are way better.

Ok so I finally watched the whole trailer. Is it a prequel or a sequel? How is Mike there? Intriguing.

On BB was Gus dealing with saul before Walt and Jessie ever did?
I can't remember but I feel like it's the case.
If so, then it could be a prequel or sequel regardless of Mike.

Also didn't something happen to Mike in BB? Like prison or he fled the country or something?
In that case it would have to be a prequel. I have no clue apparently.

Disregard this post

Mostly a prequel, although the show opens in a Cinnabon in Omaha post Breaking Bad before going to flashback mode to tell Saul's origin story. So a lot of possibilities to play with the timeline. Mike is a regular so I'm sure they'll show how he started working with Saul. I hope this means we'll also see a Giancarlo Esposito guest spot and some backstory on how Mike started in with Gus and how they built the Los Pollos Hermanos empire. I predict Raymond Cruz will reprise Tuco in a few early episodes as well.

It's a prequel.

However, the first part of the first episode takes place after the events of BB.

NPR had a review on "Fresh Air" https://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=383785664&m=383833207

Give it a listen.

Saul never met Gus in Breaking Bad. Mike was the intermediary. So any Gus/Mike storyline will have to be told apart from Saul. If you don't remember what happened to Mike rewatch the "Say My Name" episode from the fifth season.

Walt iced his ***? In the car by the river or something?

Something like that.

Yeah, it's a great scene. Walt shoots him in the car, Mike drives off a ways, Walt follows him to the river where Mike is sitting in the reeds gut shot, Walt starts to apologize for shooting him and Mike says, "Walt, shut up the **** up and let me die in peace."
