Yes, he was! In the 1970’s I remember attending a taping of What’s my Line. He was lovely.
Yes, but i think they were able to fully establish Mordred’s character without it.
“The 7 Deadly virtues” is really not a good song at all. I think they just had it in the show to give Roddy McDowell the chance to sing. I just learned that several months into the original show they CUT 2 numbers “You may take me to the fair” and “Fie on Goodness.” I was surprised because both of them serve to advance the plot. Maybe it was for time.
He didnt save her from a civil suit at all. All he did was come clean and redeem himself. The creators have said as much. [url] https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/better-call-saul-series-finale-explained-creator-interview-1394766/[/url]
Bummer. I dont have this channel. But I remember watching this Movie when it was originally on TV and it was TERRIFYING. Especially the last one with the doll. Truly creepy.
Thanks very much. This is super interesting!
Yes- I thought it was really weird that he had no back up vehicle or “Go bag.” That would have been the first thing Saul would have done.
I saw it when it came out in 1984- We all treated it as an amazing film.
I know you meant it as a rhetorical question, but here’s the answer to your Pete Davidson question.
Looks are not everything. Despite his problems with addiction, he seems to have a lot of really good qualities. He is not arrogant. He seems sweet and self-effacing, in fact. This is something you would really look for if you are a beautiful woman who is successful in her own right. Also, Pete has that incredibly tragic back story (dad was fireman who died in 9/11), which just makes you want to comfort him. He also is very close to his mom and sister, so he really seems to understand women.
I’m not sitting here fangirling over Pete Davidson— I mean I am old enough to be his mom— but I can definitely understand why a successful woman would find him appealing.
Yes, she had the moment of realization when she broke up with Jimmy, saying she was “having too much [i]fun[/i]!” So very sad.
I must say, I liked the episode “Fun and Games” better than the actual finale. If not for the Gene’s storyline, the show could have convincingly ended then.
He didn’t “save” Kim at all. He made up a lie to incriminate her so she would be sure to be at the sentencing hearing so she would be there to hear his confession. Then before he gave the confession, he said the things he said to the FBI about her were bull$hit.
But he didn’t save her. Nothing really could save her from her own sins. She spearheaded the scam that led to Howard’s demise. Even if she didn’t pull the trigger, Howard would never have been at their home if not for the scam.
I think Jack Nicholson mostly plays varying versions of his own personality. I think Al Pacino is a terrific actor, which you can appreciate because his characters (by and large) are so different from his real personality. Honestly, his characterizations of Michael Corleone and Tony Montana are so intense. Oddly, it seems like the role for which he won the Oscar (Scent of a Women) is the most like his own personality.
Nacho’s home life was spent with two beautiful drug addict girlfriends who were always there for him. They made boxed Mac & Cheese and sat on the sofa with him, when not doing meth and having white hot sex with him. It was a full life— until it ended.
She is amazing!
They have her doing that in the “behind the scenes” show.

They will do a movie in a year or two. He has indicated Kim’s (and Jimmy’s) story is not done.
Oh yes, slogging through all those comments about how “brilliant” the finale was! Reality check— no one outside of a fictional universe would do what Jimmy did. It was preposterous.
This is what I was thinking. A Better Call Saul movie. Several years into his sentence, Jimmy has done very well for himself in prison. He offers advice and helps folks-- both prisoners and Correction officers. To that end he works with Kim, who has had her law license reinstated to work for an "innocence project."
The Feds are dealing with a case and decide to cut Jimmy a deal if he works with them-- sort of like the ending of "Catch me if you can." I think this truly completes the story- since Kim said they should use their skills for good.
That I did find believable. I know many people in their 90’s who spend hours in front of the computer. They established from the start that Marion was sharp as a tack.
Was it Phillip Seymour Hoffman?
