    Agreed, a little tepid.

    I did like the first shot of him in current life, working at Cinnabon in disguise.

    Didn't like how they blatantly inserted Mike and Tuco into the pilot. I know these are people from his past...seemed to me that Gilligan (the writer/producer) was taking the easy way.

    There's only season 5, divided into separate parts of 8 episodes each.

    Agreed on both counts, it was a pretty neat way to start the show. That may have been the high point unfortunately. Having Mike show up almost immediately as a parking lot attendant? Very lame

    Haven't watched the second episode yet. I take it his brother Chuck is mentally ill? Fear of electromagnetic energies and having people 'ground' themselves before entering...

    Makes you think. What if Chuck did take the 17 million dollar buyout and gave Saul some of it.


    Probably be no TV show then

    I'm assuming because of the name and how he treated him. Trying not to read anything about the show as the internet is at it again with spoiler bylines for articles

    I googled The Walking Dead and first site was titled with a description of what happened on that show last week

    especially when it's titled that way in the list of google choices without even hitting the site - So and so dies on the walking dead, say good bye to so and so

    I did manage to find out that Chuck is Saul/Jim's brother

    Just watched episode 2, it was better....but the show has a much more serious tone than I was expecting. Dunno why, but I expected more of a comedic series
