Are you sure? Management said they were really happy with the direction of the show. They're worried however with Gould's excessive drinking and coming in late though. Also the race ramblings might be an issue to be completely honest witcha.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

That was horrendous. Like Chip Chipperson cartoon bad.
I've always hated the Breaking Bad fan service stuff in this show, right from the beginning. I remember one of the earliest teaser trailers in the first season was for Tuco showing up and rolling my eyes at that even then. Then they just started cramming more and more pointless fan service in with every season. Fuck, they spent an entire goddam season just focusing on how Gus' lab was built. I don't remember a single thing that was going on with Jimmy/Saul in that season and that's who the show is supposed to be about.
Mike doesn't really count as fan service because he was written to be a major part of the show since the beginning and to be fair, he was in some really good scenes in the first season. I thought that stuff with that nerdy little bald pharmacist guy were actually really enjoyable. Gus, Hector, Don Eladio, the twins though - all that cartel stuff shouldn't have been part of the show imo. It was all dull and pointless. If you want to see those characters in an interesting context with a story that actually has some stakes, then just watch Breaking Bad.

That cartoon was lazy as fuck. Talk about cheap animation.
I was thinking of how they could have not fucked this show up. Bear with me here. Set it earlier in time, maybe 10-15 years. Take it completely out of Albuquerque. No BB characters at all. No vague allusions to it, nothing that cannot be avoided. Obviously no Bob Odenkirk, get a good younger actor. Completely scrap the Jimmy/Saul/Gene idea.
He's starting out as a lawyer, and over a few seasons watch him go from a fairly competent, borderline respectable guy to a pretty cunning crook and attorney to monsters. Maybe he defends a Mafia guy, a serial killer, something at that level. He wins some of his high profile cases, loses some, and eventually has to leave town under bad circumstances. Where does he go? Albuquerque, New Mexico. Changes his name from whatever it is for this series. End of show. It solves the problem of making it stand on its own from Breaking Bad. And gives you total freedom to do whatever you want with family, friends, rivals etc.

Give the show two or three seasons tops. The episode where Chuck dies is the final episode. It'll be implied that Jimmy became Saul because of that, and their final conversation.
You're right, no references to Breaking Bad. Even small stuff. "You are not Kevin Costner!" "I was last night." isn't a cute reference, it's just tacky.
Make the show primarily about Jimmy and Chuck. No Mike.

Sure, the Chuck storyline could work. Like I said, throw out everything to do with BB and you pretty much have a blank slate. Create whoever you want.

Bob Odenkirk was great as Saul, but I don't buy him as Jimmy. He isn't as charming and likeable as BCS tries to make him out to be. So yeah, just make a completely new show in a new "universe".

Exactly. Throw it all out. Get a romantic lead that he has chemistree with, for starters.
I think they could've still had the stuff with Mike. His scenes with Nacho were very good in the first season. Just don't don't tie it in to all the cartel shit with Gus etc.
I did think the Gene flashforwards were compelling in the earlier seasons but it's become obvious now that they didn't have anywhere good to really go with that, hence why they delayed telling any of the story for as long as they could and they're now awkwardly cramming it all into the final episodes. So yeah, a pure prequel without any BB fan service that last 2-3 seasons would've worked well.

Since we're shitting on the show, here's a scene from an earlier season, back when I was still giving the show a chance, that made me think "fuck this is not making sense... am I missing something?"

The timing of Mike setting that up so the cops would arrest Tuco is a great example of a "good coincidence" that Vince said he didn't want to use.

I'd forgotten just how bad Tuco's scenes were in this show. Yeah the absolute psycho from Breaking Bad who beat one of his crew to death would definitely keep pleading 'let go!' when an old man grabbed him.
This scene was just as bad if not worse...
Is Bob Odenkirk a homosexual?
I think he's using a hair system
WWAWD predictions for the finale next Monday?
I can see Saul being chased by the police and they catch him because he slips on a banana peel or something goofy like that. Because he's slipping Jimmy, get it ?
