    Most trivia is, but a lot of people love it. Who knows, that info might help someone win a game of Jeopardy.

    Gilligan AMA, haven't gone through all of it yet but he does say that characters from Breaking Bad could show up on Saul. Also more Nacho in Season 2! And to him the age for Kayee works out, despite suggestion that she is a vamprie. He sez:

    "Anybody and everybody. The sky’s the limit! That’s the beauty of this format. The story takes place six years in the past, where all the Breaking Bad characters are alive and well, but that’s not to promise that you’ll see every character that we introduced in Breaking Bad. We’re still feeling our way through Jimmy McGill’s format, discovering how and why he becomes Saul Goodman -- and in the process, there's any number of directions our story can take. So I couldn’t really tell you even if I wanted to who will show up, or when. Better Call Saul is still very much a work in progress."


    "We thought Nacho would be more present in Season 1 as well. We did not shy away from using Nacho as a character -- and we love Michael Mando, who plays him. This is a great example of how -- like it or not -- a television story takes on a life of its own. As a writer, you have to follow the thread of the story you’re writing, even if that means spending less time with certain characters. In other words -- to put it succinctly -- there was so much more story to tell relating to Jimmy and his brother Chuck that we writers found it hard to fit in more great moments from Nacho -- but don’t despair, you’ll be seeing much more of Nacho in Season 2. You heard it here first!"

    "Kaylee is NOT a toddler vampire, to the best of my knowledge. Kaylee (as portrayed on Breaking Bad) is about twelve years old, and six years earlier she’s played by an actress who is about five, so her age is played out correctly to my knowledge."

    It's not great, so far. It's definitely not as good as "Ash vs. Evil Dead."

    I was never as excited about BCS as I was about BB anyway, and this looong wait for Season 2 to start isn't helping my enthusiasm level.

    It's a process. Sure, a BCS that started right away with Saul Goodman could have worked on some level, but seeing the path, the progression Jimmy is making towards the eventual person he becomes is much more fulfilling/entertaining as I see it.

    I'm more excited for this than BB in this respect: as I binge-watched that on Netflix, I didn't get the chance to talk with folks as the season(s) progressed, enjoying the discussions & so forth... thus, I'm enjoying that tremendously with this. Helps of course that the show's rather good.

    I don't remember how excited I was for season 2 of BB.

    IIRC, I wasn't excited for Season 2 of Breaking Bad. I binged watched seasons 1-4 and probably didn't really get into the show until the middle of season 2.

    I've been rewatching Seasin 1 in preparation for the new one, it really holds up well.

    Looking at the promo photos, especially how he's dressed, it looks like he took the job offer.

    Maybe part of what sends him further towards Saul is the realization that the high priced clients he represents are no better than the drug dealers he's avoided so far.

    Or he's jazzing himself up to give a better appearance when representing clients, though I think your theory makes a little more sense. :p

    I thought the premiere was decent. It was good to get a few minutes of Mike and Nacho (and PLAYUH). The scene with Ken was fun and the Zafiro Añejo callback was a nice touch. The teaser for the rest of the season definitely has me looking forward to the next nine episodes.

    Rather enjoyed it, a slow start, but in a good way. Loved the BrBa references, though I missed the tequila one until I read about it.

    Mire than anything, curious how they go forward, sooner or later I think the show page is going to explode forward, probably when we least expect it.
