Title: Better Call Saul - "FiFi"
Post by: Gman on March 28, 2016, 11:20:17 PM

Next week's upcoming episode of Better Call Saul is featuring the B29 "FiFi", in fact it's the title of episode.  Pretty interesting, I wonder how they are integrating it into the storyline - I'm betting it's Sandpiper retirement people, one or more were possibly crew members on B29s, from the 1 second snip of FiFi in the trailer.

I'm really enjoying the series, thanks for the heads up on the old war plane episode.
Not has intriguing as Break Bad, but still well written.
I suspect the female lawyer friend of Saul's will be killed off at the end of the series...what do you think?

Complete sleeper show, I love it, the character development is so well done.

If I haven't watched breaking bad will this show make sense?

Yes, it's a good stand alone series.

Love the series "Better Call Saul".  I saw FiFi in the mid-90s at the Clark County Airport (Indiana).  Big airshow that Yeager and Bud Anderson used to attend (and fly in).

You can watch it stand alone NP, although a bit of the opening sequence of the first episode may confuse, plus you'll miss out on the ...not back, but forward story of a couple of the main characters.

For those watching, I agree with ROC and Ripsnort.  ROC - have you been wondering what ever must have happened with Kim by the time Breaking Bad happens, as she isn't featured at all, yet is a major part of the protagonists life in Saul?  Foreboding, I have a bad feeling for some reason, which is keeping me glued to this, as you said, great sleeper.

That one has me really stumped.  I am torn between major upheaval to create "Saul" out of Jimmy forcing him into a full blown "Screw It" frame of mind you see in Breaking Bad, or that it's simply because he was a bit player in Bad, and there was no room for character development other than him and Mike.

I keep leaning towards something bad happening, either she picks the high road and dumps him or something goes terribly wrong with a client.  I can't see him losing her to crime then embracing that element, so I think maybe he strays too close to the line and she walks, he goes all in after that as she was the only real moral compass he had in the first place.
