@@MjkL1337 Yeah, the scene where he meets Walt in his office. He says he's an Irish McGill (sp?) but uses Goodman because his clients want a Jewish lawyer.
I think anyone disparaging BCS vs BB is just upset it’s not the same show, there’s so much thematically similar, it’s just more character driven and not plot driven. Once you guys get to the end of this you’ll feel whole, I’m sure of it
I don't even look at them as separate shows at this point. So many scenes in BB feel more hallow w/o the context given in BCS. Can't say which ones yet lol.
Small clarification, Random people werent giving Slippin Jimmy money. Jimmy would slip on ice at a store then threaten legal action against the store for not making their locations safe. most stores (especially large retailers) dont want a big legal battle and some states do make stores have a legal obligation to make their stores safe if they are open to the public. its why so many stores put salt on their parking lots and sidewalks.
So in Breaking Bad, when Walt made his "confession", and gave it to Hank, it was on a DVD. This is a prequel. Prior to DVDs were VHS. Things are on VHS to illustrate where these events occurred timeline-wise.
I live in Abq next door to Saul's "Omaha" apt building. You can see my balcony at 5:33 sticking out from the left side after the snow plow passes!!!! I got to meet Odenkirk when he was here for season 5 scenes. I'll give more details on that when you get there. Both apt buildings are owned by the same company. I see Saul's apt door up close when I throw trash away because the dumpster is kept outside that unit, #17.
@@DenseEpiphany I've worked all over the city and was never far from locations. For a few years, I worked about 1/4 mile from Jessie's house, Chuck's house, Tuco's hideout, and The Dog House.
@@DenseEpiphany I've met a couple of extras, too. One was in 4.10-- he was one of the big guys in the Mexican lab, whom I sat next to on a flight home to NM. The other I can't mention yet...
First, "mijo" is Spanish for "My Son". It's the shortened version of "Mi hijo". Secondly, wow you guys were the fastest reactors to figure out the issues with Chuck and EMFs. You nailed it right away. And Kailyn, kudos for predicting Tuco. I think you are the only person who could have predicted that!
The reason Eric is confused throughout most of this episode is because he talks over crucial bits of dialog and turns away from the episode while talking, so he's both missing the dialog and the visual (whereas Kailyn never looks away). It makes complete sense why he was dumbfounded through this episode. What doesn't make sense is his confidence, especially when it comes to Chuck and it not being Tuco. He practically laughs in Kailyn's face when she (accurately) suggests Tuco.
the happiness of guessing Tuco was so fucking good. i love how every single reactor has said "TUCO!" when the flowery fancy button up shirt is shown with a gun!
37:00 There's hardly any exposition in this show, and when there is its a device that moves the plot and story forward. The writing and cinematography in Better Call Saul is impeccable. Show don't tell is on full display here.
I think this show does a very good job of showing things without just using dialogue. For example, the scene with the trash can does so much with like two quick lines. You saw the dent in the trash can earlier, so you know he's done this kind of thing before, at this exact place. And Kim lets him just stand there and take a drag from her cig, so you know there is some complex relationship there, because she also doesn't flinch through any of it, then just goes and fixes the trash can. I think they just kept getting better with writing and this show is even better than Breaking Bad.
10:10 - I just noticed the clever way they made it look like he was walking to his white Cadillac, but he quickly pivots over to the yellow Isuzu Esteem - LOL! You guys are going to LOVE the back stories of all of these characters. Breaking Bad was an incredible show. But it took 2 or 3 seasons to get deep into the weeds of the real criminal characters. This one comes out swinging out of the gate!!!
Kailyn's thought process was the same one the writers used When they were writing this episode the question was "who would be the scariest person behind that door?" And the writers came up with Tuco Salamanca!
Im so excited for you guys to react to this masterpiece of a show. Time to have a couple of beers even though its only Tuesday 😬 and live vicariously through your reaction. Cheers 🍻
Lmao the first time I saw this I also recognized the wild colored shirt sleeve and knew only Tuco wears stuff like that 😂 I would recognize that shirt sleeve anywhere hahaha
Good reaction. I’m looking forward to going on this ride with you guys. Kailyn’s intuitive hit was fun. She just paid attention to all the information on the screen, made a comment and then it go. I love a minute later she was as surprised as Eric that she was right. Better Call Saul is one of my favs. It has the same level of writing as Breaking Bad as well as an interesting and playful interaction with its predecessor.
I loved the recap at the end for where you put 2 and 2 together, and connect the dots. Because it was a bit frustrating seeing you confuse but it pays off when you figure it out at the end and not let things go over your head.
You're in for a lot of fun! I'm impressed how by quickly you were able to grasp Chuck's situation, his issue with electromagnetism and all that; most reactors seem to not get it until the scene with the doctor (I assume you're a few episodes ahead). And of course, Kailyn guessing Tuco was just magic 😆 See you Friday!
I think y'all are really going to enjoy this one. The questions about morality and ethics are much more gray. Plus, Vince an co had mastered their craft by the start of the series. As amazing as the visual story telling is in BB, BCS takes it to a new level. Also, "I know it's a prequel." Yeah, mostly lol.
I'm glad that you know that this show is a prequel rather than a spin-off as it was presented to us at first. This show is so good and like BB, it gets better every season. Have a good ride.
People in the comments are understandably impressed that you called Tuco’s appearance before it happened, but I’m still impressed you understood that Chuck has a psychosomatic condition immediately, when I’ve seen reactors go through the entire series confused about what’s going on with him.
7:00 FINALLY realizing that it's both a prequel AND a sequel.... Was waiting and WAITING and WAITING for the realization. 14:54 He said his real name was McGill in Breaking Bad upon his 1st meeting with Walt (as Badger's uncle). You forgot (or missed it) You guys do talk over a lot of dialog. You missed the initial call in this episode when he answered the phone as James McGill. 16:00 - "James McGill is his 'dad?' smh. It's much more of a spoiler that you know about Gus- that sucks. But I guess with Giancarlo Esposito's tremendous success (The Boys, The Mandalorian, the MCU, etc..), it takes a lot of work to avoid 16:24-. 1st ever shot of my favorite character in the Breaking Bad universe. 29:20 Kailyn: Unreal! Not only drop-dead gorgeous but also a genius!! Never saw 1 reactor (out of LOTS of BCS reactions) get this part right. Kailyn is special. Hall of Fame Reactor!
It’s also kind of hard to keep Gus’ appearance a spoiler when frickin’ Netflix slapped his face all over the thumbnail pic of the first season he (eventually) appears in. I’m still ticked off about that.
As someone whos watched both shows like 10 times, Better Call Saul, honest to god, is even better than Breaking Bad......and I gotta say that at least part of that comes down to Saul being a lot easier to root for than Walt, but also its just builds so much off of what Breaking Bad did so well.
I have always thought maybe the writers could've confused viewers much less in the first episode just by having Howard say a single line like "Listen Jimmy, you may be Chuck's brother and you may be helping him with his medical condition, but that doesn't mean you can speak on his behalf!" That way it would've set up and explained the basic premise in a natural sounding way. It's not important of course because everybody figures it out within a few episodes anyway, but I just think about it every time lmao
It didn't seem confusing to me. Then again, I wasn't watching it making guesses - as a prequel (and sequel), and given who created the shows - I just figured all the information would be revealed eventually. Knowing (or not knowing) he's the brother doesn't change much in their first scenes together.
Omg I have been waiting for this, Better Call Saul is amazing and surpassed breaking bad in some aspects, some people dislike it since the pacing is slower, but I really loved it
This is what Saul said when he was kidnapped by Walt and Jesse "No, no, no, no it wasn't me it was Ignacio he's the one. Siempre de amigo del cartel (Always a friend of the cartel), Lalo didn't send you? De Lalo?" Remember those names.
When they were writing this show, they took little things from Breaking Bad, like Saul's real name, then they expand on stuff like that to create storylines around it. It actually enhances the Breaking Bad story.
I just started this show a few weeks ago with my mom, we finished Breaking Bad and El Camino, now we’re on Season 3 Episode 2, TRUST ME, This show is a must watch and it’s really good for me, it also makes Jimmy McGill (Saul Goodman) a really complex developed character, and makes him more interesting. In other words, the Saul in this show is much more different, and complex than the Saul Goodman we see in Breaking Bad.
Hahaha Kailyn nailed it 😂 One of the things that make this show so great is that it has the BB crew (with 6 seasons of creativity under their belts) continuing the BB universe from S1 E1. And like BB, BCS each season gets better!
I loved your reaction. I'm excided to share this experience with you. The one thing I can share with you about the show is that if you felt the film making on Braking Bad was superior, they just got better with this show. The film making, writing and acting make this {in my humble opinion} the greatest show ever.
Eric & Kailyn, did you recognize the Chuck McGill actor, Michael McKean from his time in the 1976 - 1983 sitcom, "Laverne & Shirley" as Lenny of Lenny & Squiggy ?
Doubtful! I'm in my 50s and that is almost before MY time. They may have a better chance at recognizing him as an actor from the movies "Clue" or "This is Spinal Tap".
The actor who plays Chuck was also in the X-Files a few different episodes in different seasons same with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul and the actor who played Hank all played in X-Files episodes lol and of course the creator also worked on the X-Files so that's probably why he used so many actors who were on that great show 🙂
36:45 this show is the master of show don't tell and visual storytelling. Love that u guys know about mental health disorders and psychology. The average viewer doesn't get these really. You'll love try reading these insanely complex characters and their psyche
I think I recall commenters saying it would be too "slow" for you. But if you like E1, you'll like it all. Gets better and more intense. Retains the writing quality all the way through, with a very satisfying finale!
This show is very different in style to Breaking Bad yet feels familiar throughout. I wouldnt get ur hopes up too much for cameos or returning characters (despite seeing Mike and Tuco in this episode) and Better Call Saul is much more subtle and slightly slower paced than Breaking Bad. This show is VERY focused on character (which is saying something coming from Breaking Bad but in many ways it goes deeper in this aspect). It is an incredible show and will leave a lasting impact especially on rewatches of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Glad you're starting this! I can barely wait until you get to the part of the series where Jimmy _____. Then ____ gets _____ ___ ______ with the help of ______!! And when _____ finally __ ____ _____ --it doesn't get any better than that! Sure are in for a ride
It is very different from breaking bad. The black and white scenes are in the future of breaking bad after saul goes on the run with the vacuum guy whereas the colored scenes are in the past. It's no spoiler to say the show leads up to breaking bad (as it is a prequel) so you know where it ends. The interesting thing is how it gets there. The one thing that struck me most in the show from the cinematography aspect is the car scenes. No obvious stunt doubles switches bad angles that hide their face or green screens. In every other show it's stupidly obvious where the cuts are or the doubles are but not here. Truly spectacular work. Also artistic cinematography really takes off in later seasons
@@charmedoriginal5923 “friend request reviews” very underrated channel. The guy he’s with has already seen the episode and is shocked when he says it’s tuco lol.

Definitely takes most BB viewers a few episodes to call Saul "Jimmy".

I’m incredibly excited for you guys to begin this journey. I am just one of the many people who enjoy this show even more than BrBa.
we are so excited! thanks for watching with us!!
These writers trust and respect the audience's intelligence. There is a lot of showing, not telling, but also every bit of dialogue is important.
First, "mijo" is Spanish for "My Son". It's the shortened version of "Mi hijo". Secondly, wow you guys were the fastest reactors to figure out the issues with Chuck and EMFs.

Took me forever to understand the whole hhm vs. Jimmy and chuck and all that.

I need a drink.
the happiness of guessing Tuco was so fucking good. i love how every single reactor has said "TUCO!" when the flowery fancy button up shirt is shown with a gun!
Come for Saul, stay for Jimmy
15:00 That's not a spoiler.
He told Walt in the Breaking Bad episode called "Better Call Saul" that his real name was McGill
Exactly
The harmony to Breaking Bad's melody metaphor (as you'll find out) is spot-on.
BCS is nothing like BB while still intertwining with the BB storyline. Trust, this is up there just like BB is but in its own way
That's the best blind pull I've ever seen. Have her immediately play the lottery. Lol
LOL i can't believe you predicted Tuco!!! You're the first one I've seen do that out of like 50 reaction channels I've watched. Nice job LMAO

👄
And then the reveal 30:14 🤯
Bob Odenkirk was a finalist for Michael on The Office. He is a comedy legend.
This series is definitely a slow-burner at first (as was BB), but it's definitely worth sticking with!
A magical react for Eric's complete disbelief, like "why would it be Tuco?". Great stuff.
Lmao the first time I saw this I also recognized the wild colored shirt sleeve and knew only Tuco wears stuff like that 😂 I would recognize that shirt sleeve anywhere hahaha

It's great that you realize the psycho sematic illness related to EMF early. Most people are clueless until the reveal a few episodes later.
One thing I will not spoil however is the root cause. That's a journey in itself.

still can't get over the fact she called it 😭
This is suppose to be about 6 years before Saul met Walt.

Ah Shit here we go again!
I'll watch better call saul third time now lol
Never in history has anyone picked up on Chuck's condition so quick
Not always the most popular opinion, but this has higher rewatch value than BB.

That’s terrible dialogue. Everything is spelled out so obviously. Audiences aren’t slow.
Omg I have been waiting for this, Better Call Saul is amazing and surpassed breaking bad in some aspects, some people dislike it since the pacing is slower, but I really loved it
Kailyn’s idea was absolutely genuine and spot on. No spoilers but I’m curious for all the predictions to come!

A new journey begins
My favorite reaction channel is finally starting my second favorite show
excited! thanks for watching 😊
So you just finished watching the #1 TV show ever, now you're watching the other #1 TV show ever lmao
You guys really need to rewatch Breaking Bad 2x8 again, Sauls first episode.
The way she predicted Tuco would make me either go insane or accept that women are psychic.
And I’d rather go insane. 😅
This is a very good series. It's very different than BB, much slower pacing, but that's not a bad thing.
