[QUOTE=Freeze;47112184]If that is indeed the case then that is silly. It's the same as the Doctor Who thread - why would you be here if you've not watched the most recent episode and want to avoid spoilers? [I]Of course[/I] people are going to be talking about it. All using spoiler tags does in this situation is make posts more annoying to read. They're there for when you unexpectedly spoil something, not when you're posting in a thread that is 100% guaranteed to be littered with spoilers.[/QUOTE] it's not that hard to just spoiler tag things in case someone accidentally enters the thread, it's just courtesy. is the tiny amount of time that it takes to add spoiler tags to your posts/click spoiler tags on other peoples posts really such a burden on your life that you don't care whether or not you're ruining someone else's viewing experience?
Gotta be honest isn't it just common knowledge on the subject of anything be it a film, game or tv show that you spoiler tag stuff when it is new out. I originally entered the thread the other day to see when the show starts and immediately saw a spoiler that was not tagged as the show had already aired. It half ruined the episode knowing the ending. This is a thread on the show and people are going to have all kinds of reasons to enter be it for info about the show as they might want to know if it is worth watching or in my case to know when the next episode is coming out. To my knowledge it has always been common sense to spoiler tag things especially if the show is brand new.

In r/betterCallSaul the sixth top post is about [sp]Tuco[/sp] with 242 upvotes and not one comment complains about spoilers. Why? Because there's [I]obviously[/I] going to be spoilers there. Why would you go into a forum to find when the episode is airing rather than just Googling? It just isn't logical in any way shape or form. I'm happy to spoiler tag this stuff because you guys want it so much and that's fine - but that doesn't stop me from thinking it's silly. :v:

I could've had it completely ruined for me.

Like you said there is obviously going to be spoilers there but here I don't expect that as normally people spoiler tag everything in the threads I go to. It is logical in every way shape or form as it is basically expected that you spoiler tag things here on Facepunch. People have different expectations when going to different places.
I gotta admit that I didn't like Breaking Bad all that much (watched into S2, got bored.) but I tried Better Call Saul last night and I'm digging this.
In regards to the second episode as I just watched it. [sp]Negotiating the price of pain with Tuco out in the desert doesn't seem like the wisest thing to do but dam did he nail it. I cannot wait to see where this situation goes with Jimmy/Saul and Tuco.[/sp] My merge...

I haven't seen something so powerful in media itself for quite awhile. I think I'm really digging Saul because he reminds me of a public defender who recently represented me. Dude had allegations to the underworld and apparently he uses to deal coke to people in some other town and made a lot of connections in the DA and courts because some were old customers!
So for next episode it's pretty set that [sp]some sort of breakdown is gonna happen that's gonna make Saul need the money even more and give in[/sp]
speaking of little cameos, is it me or [sp]was the big guy from the cinnabon store in e1 the same guy that jesse mistook for walt's hitman?[/sp]
Saul (or should i say Jimmy) talking down [sp]Tuco[/sp] was the best scene so far, but i have the feeling this show will just keep raising the bar every episode. I'm very excited.
[QUOTE=Problem;47111205]Wait, was he? Shit I got excited for nothing.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the cameo during the montage was the guy that Saul borrowed a belt. Wasn't it [sp]the guy from the scrapyard when they destroyed RV and later borrowed a magnet?[/sp]
[QUOTE=alexojm;47112536]It is logical in every way shape or form[/QUOTE]I actually said that in regards to you coming here to find out when the next episode is rather than Googling it rather than on spoilers in general. There's a chance of spoilers here whereas on Google there is a 0% chance of being spoiled.
[Sp]So why does chuck hate phones?[/sp]
[QUOTE=Shotz;47113039][Sp]So why does chuck hate phones?[/sp][/QUOTE][sp]I don't think he hates phones, he just hates the electromagnetic stuff that comes with them. He seems to hate anything electric at all, but we're not sure why yet. Either he's paranoid and mentally ill or has a serious electrical allergy which while rare, is indeed a thing. Probably the first one seeing as Saul seems to not take it very seriously.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Shotz;47113039][Sp]So why does chuck hate phones?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]He believes EM waves make him sick, it's some kind of urban myth on par with anti-vaxxing bullshit.[/sp]

The music from the montage was Vivaldi's, for sure, but I'm pretty sure I heard it before in some film or television, but I can't pinpoint where exactly. Wes Anderson's film? Any help, it frustrates me as shit.
By the way, I like how this is one of very few times where a main character genuinely tries and [I]succeedes [/I]in explaining what their original intent was instead of fumbling on words and fucking up worse.

Talk about great scene set-ups, they literally [sp]turned a kidnapping and murder in the desert into a mock trial scene where Saul could do his mitigating.[/sp] It's hard to find writing as good as this.

I wasn't really feeling the first episode. The second one was the proper starting point. The show seems promising. Also Mando/Vaas in the show, I can see intense moments ahead.
I liked the first episode and loved the introduction was more or less exactly what I was hoping for.
Just watched the first 2 episodes on Netflix and i'm absolutely loving it so far. based vince has done it again btw Finland mentioned in episode 1, torilla tavataan

This was kinda interesting to read but also kinda sad, i hope he gets good praising after shooting and maybe a blanket [/sp]
[QUOTE=Judas;47110692][sp]I think chuck has no physical issues whatsoever, and is simply paranoid and delusional and losing his mind, and saul plays along not to hurt him[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp] serious anxiety like that can cause actual harm and have physical effects on your body, i'm betting that's what it is, i feel terrible for chuck [/sp]
I need to watch the next episode [B]right now[/B]! How do people that don't just binge watch a show S1-end in 2/3 sittings do it?
[QUOTE=Rossy167;47114599]I need to watch the next episode [B]right now[/B]! How do people that don't just binge watch a show S1-end in 2/3 sittings do it?[/QUOTE] Pain and suffering makes us stronger. Our senses are more powerful. Where you see an innocent shadow or simple accident, we see foreshadowing and plot device for next few seasons to come.
