Better Call Saul Episode 1x02 Feb 09 2015

I saw ep 2 and it was much better, and I know it will get better as it goes along and he becomes
Saul.
At the end of the ep tuco"s friend gives him his # and says when you figure out your in the game
call me.
Tuco was crazy as ever and just like he was in BB.

Also did not know the other guys was his brother.

It didn’t smash any cable records like the Sunday premiere did, but AMC’s Breaking Bad spinoff still had a very good result last night in its regular slot. The second episode of Better Call Saul drew 3.4 million total viewers and 2.1 million among adults 18-49 on Monday at 10 PM, according to Nielsen.

While down 48% in viewership and 52% in the key demo from the glory of The Walking Dead led-in first night of its amclogo4__night premiere, the series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould improved AMC’s five-week average in the Monday slot by 494% in total audience and 629% among the 18-49s. Rating to rating, last night’s Better Call Saul got a 1.6 compared with Sunday’s 3.4 adults 18-49 result.

That is confusing, one says 1.6 demo and the other a 2.1 ??
 and that is without live + dvr ratings.

Still a big drop off, more than  Tscc dropped off from its sunday pilot to the monday 2nd ep.

The first original drama in the slot, Better Call Saul replaces a Monday schedule usually filled with movies and repeats by AMC.

Episode 2 of the Bob Odenkirk-starring show was preceded by an encore of the first episode at 9 PM. That repeat got 1.7 million viewers with 877,000 in the 18-49 demo. Banking on a big digital afterlife, AMC said it plans to issue full results for BCS’s two-night debut sometime next week when the Live+3 ratings are in. Let’s see then how much of a launch Better Call Saul got from that prized post-Walking Dead slot and how much the ratings rocket flew solo – if you know what I mean.

Yep, of course I regognized "Vic the dick" ... He was Sarah's former criminal boyfriend.
I've just seen ep 1x02 "Mijo" and I loved it. It was even better than the pilot. The scenes in Mijo's grandmother's house were great and then the "trial" in the desert ... Jimmy got the two boys from "death scentence to 6 months probation" ... well, these scenes in the desert were as intense and brilliant as in Breaking Bad.
If they can keep this up, I'll easily become a fan of BCS and will definitely stay watching.
Now I'm looking forward to Jimmy working with Nacho ...

yeah it may take a few eps for Jim to start working with nacho. right now he is still wanting to be a lawyer, but he cant make any money or get in a big law firm so I think he will start thinking it is a one time deal.

But what the hell is the deal on mike?? how can he be a parking attendant??????

Well, if BCS is supposed to take place 5 (?) years before Breaking Bad, then there's plenty of time to deliver a story how Mike ended up as the "security guy" of Gus.
BTW, now I have to remember, how Mike was shot by Walter ... one of the worst of his many bad deeds ...

Better Call Saul - Sets Cable History in Live+3 18-49 Ratings

Not bad for the beginning I guess ...

Well in # 3 mike says he used to be a cop, but it still makes little sense he would not be doing something better than P.L.A.
But it will be good to watch things unfold.

I think though that this is a show for BB fans, if I had never seen BB I would have already dropped the show.
We knew who tuco was and mike and saul, for someone new they would not know them, and the show has not been all that good  without BB history.

So I am glad it is doing good in the ratings, that way we get to see 5 years of it.
