Manchester United could win fifty titles, but they will always be the Rolling Stones of football. Good, just not quite that band from Liverpool.

You should literally be skinned for such a fucking daft answer :o

I can't wait for this, Saul's a brilliant character. The quick wit works brilliantly as a comic relief from the seriousness of Walt and the volatility of Jesse.

As an aside though, everybody that loves Saul Goodman should check out Ari Gold from Entourage...

Ari is easily one of my favourite characters as well, this is classic mr. Gold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMdmWjtDRPE

much though i enjoyed saul as a one-dimensional cartoony comic relief figure, the character never really struck me as having anything about him worthy a spin-off. happy to be proved wrong though.

Better Call Saul casts Michael McKean as rival lawyer

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/better-call-saul-casts-michael-mckean-as-rival-lawyer-9309386.html

The article says it should air later this year. Dean Norris has ruled himself out but Aaron Paul wouldn't have a problem with bringing Jesse back it seems.

Dean Norris has ruled himself out of this so who else from Breaking Bad do you think could have a role? A couple spring to mind.

Crazy 8.
Huell
Mike
Emilio

Besides those I think it will be a whole new cast. Except for Saul of course.

So this will be based pre, during and post Breaking Bad. I always wondered how Saul got on once he left.

Really starting to look forward to this.

Juicy details about the plot have been revealed today (Well, at least I found out today, you could all know this). Here they are:

Spoiler
At the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills on Friday, AMC confirmed the full line-up of series regulars joining star Bob Odenkirk.
Michael McKean (Family Tree) will play Saul’s brother Chuck, Jonathan Banks will reprise his Breaking Bad role of Mike Ehrmantraut, Rhea Seehorn (Franklin & Bash) will play Kim, Patrick Fabian (Grey’s Anatomy) will play Hamlin and Michael Mando (Orphan Black) will play Mando.
“The series is set six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White,” reads the Breaking Bad prequel’s official description. “When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is ‘fixer’ Mike Ehrmantraut, a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts ‘criminal’ in ‘Criminal lawyer.’”

Already ordered for a 13-episode second season, Saul‘s first outing of 10 episode is slated to premiere in early 2015.
Other tidbits from the panel:
* The show could have made its original November premiere date, but creator Vince Gilligan asked AMC for more time. “I am slow as mud as a TV writer,” he explained. “We have a way of doing things that are slower than most TV shows.” Given that, how will he juggle his Saul duties with his new CBS drama Battle Creek? “I don’t have as much to do with” the latter show, Gilligan admitted. And while Better Call Saul is a fifty-fifty partnership between Gilligan and executive producer Peter Gould, who created the title character, “it’s going to be more and more Peter’s” project as the series progresses.
* As they were crafting the prequel, Gilligan found that “we didn’t really know who this guy [Saul] is at all” even though viewers already know where he ends up. “It’s a very interesting process, and there are certain limits” given Breaking Bad, he allowed. Added Gould: “It reminds me a lot of Season 5 when we had the machine gun in the trunk. We had no idea how we were going to get there. … It’s a challenge. One of the questions we ask ourselves a lot is, what problem does being Saul Goodman solve?”
* Gould on a possible appearance from Giancarlo Esposito’s Gus: “There’s so much more to say about that character. There’s always a possibility. Having said that, we’re trying to make something that stands on its own.”
* Will Saul have a non-linear storytelling structure? “I like jumping around in time,” Gilligan replied. “Anything that was possible storytelling wise on Breaking Bad is possible on Better Call Saul.”
* Gilligan on the hate for Breaking Bad‘s Skylar: “I learned my lesson. I’m never going to write less-than-perfect women again. I was always scratching my head at the anti-Skylar bias. To me, she was a much more likable character than Walt was.”

First of all, thanks for the info mate.

Now regarding the last sentence from Gilligan regarding Skyler. He is right, you know.

Actually no real spoilers but I'm being pedantic here in case anyone has a problem

Spoiler
I understand the original hate towards Skyler as well. I used to loathe her in the first seasons. But that completely diminished as they went by and actually felt for her in the end ( remember THAT scene with the White family in their house?). How could you hate her after the way things played out? Walter was a far more fascinating character of course, he was the main lead, we loved and bowed down to his character development and transformation but still Skyler was a better person (yes I know she cheated and all that but still...).

Early word is good on RT. Thankfully.

"Essentially, Saul is an extended origin story, possessing Bad's flavor and black comedy but at least initially lacking its emotional core. While that dictates a mixed verdict, the creative auspices nevertheless bode well."

"Like its predecessor in its earliest days, Saul is moving very slowly and methodically, revealing itself only a bit at a time but there's promise in these early movements."

"Gilligan has set up another dark, subversive journey and not a fan-servicing callback fest."
